Genius Warlock-Episode 255
Of course, he said it wasn't really a problem..
No matter what an employee is, he or she is just an employee.
It was absurd to teach students instead of professors..
‘But if it's just to help you with the basic training I gave you, it'll be fine. Refine the flow of magical power, systematize the practice of techniques, and develop basic physical strength necessary for battle... … . I need you to look into this for me..’
Oliver knew immediately what I meant..
It was a kind of division of labor..
It's like what Oliver did in the past when he told his senior disciples to teach his junior disciples..
It didn't seem like a very bad opinion..
In that way, Kevin could focus on the top students like Yarelin and Derek, while also indirectly caring about the students with lower skills through Oliver..
'I don't think that's everything.’
Oliver thought as he looked at Kevin's emotions..
Kevin's offer to Oliver was sincere, but there was another thought lurking at the same time..
Although it wasn't specific, it was a context of curiosity and doubt, and I could tell it was directed at myself..
I was really curious. What is it about you that made you make this suggestion?.
The good news is that there is no malice or cunning.?
For a moment, Oliver thought about asking, but decided against it..
I felt like if I asked, the chances of getting an answer would be low..
Instead, I asked another question..
'Well then, wouldn't I be too noticeable??’
‘It'll be okay for now. Even though you are not a wizard and have inability to generate magic power, you tied with Derek, defeated a train robber, and made quite a contribution within the magic tower. No one will criticize me for helping students with low grades..’
After listening to it, it didn't seem wrong..
I've never seen it in person, but I heard that the highly skilled wizard staff not only attends the professor personally, but also help with classes and research..
Still, Oliver couldn't make up his mind easily..
I barely managed to keep quiet, but it was a bit weird to receive unnecessary attention again..
‘I don't know what the professor's intentions are..’
But apart from that, I was also reluctant to take up this opportunity to directly interact with the students of the Magic Tower..
In the end, Oliver asked for some time to think..
Kevin readily agreed and asked for an answer only within the next week..
Friday came so quickly.

“I never thought I'd come here again.”
Oliver said while looking at the outside scenery through the car window..
At the end of Oliver's line of sight, there stood a majestic huge building shining in a soft blue light..
It was a cultural complex that was a specialty of District J..
In the past, I came with Jane to meet Edith, and I thought it was truly amazing that it was a coincidence..
"It's not that strange.”
Jane, who was sitting next to me, suddenly said,.
She seemed to have completely forgotten the past, and rather than feeling unpleasant, she seemed more calm and determined..
"Is that so?”
"Yes, Sapphire is popular as a great place to hold gatherings. It's gorgeous inside and out, the facilities are great, the parking lot is spacious, and there's a spacious airship landing pad..”
As if to prove that, even now, airships occasionally land or take off from Sapphire..
"More than anything, Sheamus wanted to party there..”
“It's Sheamus.?”
"Oh right… … . We met once last time, right? at the auction house?”
Oliver nodded. Although he has seen one more time since..
“But, he wanted that? Do you belong to the same wealthy group as you??”
Jane shook her head..
"That's not it. He belongs to Sisterhood, has a lot of money, and has a strong opinion, but he is not in our group. Because it doesn’t fit the group’s personality… … . However, lovers have a strong say..”
Oliver remembered that Sheamus had three lovers..
"So, are they suggesting that we have a party here today??”
"Yes, I can give that opinion because I have been achieving great results recently with Sheamus as my backbone. It's not an unreasonable request, so no one is against it..”
"huh? Sheamus in the back? Isn't it the opposite??”
"ah… … . You may not know. Things have changed a bit recently. Although Sheamus originally had nothing to show for himself other than personal force, his business has become increasingly successful and his wealth now extends beyond that of his lovers..”
"Oh, is that it??”
“Yes, his business acumen was unusual. Thanks to this, it is mentioned often on this forum these days. He is a genius in the financial business..”
“Are you talking about Leaf Loan? I heard that the loan business was profitable, but I had no idea it was to that extent..”
"That's true, but these days you're putting more emphasis on investment projects..”
Oliver continued to ask questions as new information continued to pour in..
"Investment??”
“I don't know the details either. All I know is that I run a closed investment business mainly with my acquaintances, and they say I'm making a 10% profit every month.."
"Is it great??”
"It's so amazing. Just by simple calculation, if you leave it for just one year, the principal will increase by 2.2 times..”
Jane's sincerity shined through, and Oliver nodded and believed it. It seemed so great.
"Well, it's not easy, is it? The book I read said that investing is difficult..”
“Of course it is. Making money through investment is not as easy as it sounds. So everyone is trying to find out, but surprisingly someone says……."
the car suddenly stopped.
I came in while we were talking, and I noticed a long line of many luxury cars in front of me..
Men in uniform approached the vehicle and greeted each other politely while thoroughly inspecting customers' faces and tickets..
"That's pretty thorough.?”
“This is proof that the stories and investment opportunities exchanged at this party are very valuable. In fact, there are quite a few people who have had great fun receiving investment information or investment proposals from here. That's why so many people who think they're so good gather together..”
"I wonder if I can really come to a place like this..”
"Of course not..”
Jane confirmed, grabbing Oliver's shoulder and making him look towards her..
"Dave has the most unrivaled performance, enough to be called the next Sheamus, so there is no need to be intimidated. You are the leader of the fighter crew and an ally of the Crime Firm.,”
"Didn't I tell you that was a misunderstanding??”
"That's what it means. I mean... … . In this city, bravado, lies, and misunderstanding are all forces. So please have confidence. I'm relying on you a lot right now, Dave..”
Jane finished speaking and smiled brightly as if cheering..
Surprisingly, even though she was quite nervous, she pretended to remain calm to support Oliver..
Oliver thought that the appearance and emotions were pretty, and decided to make up his mind..
"Thank you for saying that.”
"Thank you. I'm just trying to thank Dave..”
After a while, a Sapphire employee approached this vehicle..
Jane held out two invitations prepared in advance and pulled Oliver to show his face to her..
The employee who checked their faces politely sent the car to them, and Oliver and Jane were able to get off at the parking lot and take the elevator up to the party venue..
***
"Never thought I'd see you here... … . It's really nice to meet you. Mr. Dave.”
Oliver and Jane took the elevator up to the party and ran into a man as they were leaving the well-dressed people..
He was none other than Murphy..
Murphy, the boss of the Kimbell family in District T and a magic businessman..
When he accidentally made eye contact with Oliver, he was surprised and approached first to greet him warmly..
"Nice to meet you too… … . It seems like it's been a while since I last met Mr. Murphy..”
"I also think the same way. I was going to say hello, but the timing is always wrong, so I'm really happy... … . I'm listening well to the story..”
"A story?”
"Yes, things like a fighter crew or an alliance with the directors. I knew this day would come someday, but I was surprised it was so fast..”
ah… … . Oliver sighed inwardly. I can't believe he heard such a story here too. I was embarrassed.
"I think there's some misunderstanding..”
"I'm mistaken?”
"Yes, I think there is a really big misunderstanding... … . huh?"
Oliver stopped speaking when he felt someone pulling him and turned his head..
Jane was standing there in a suit..
"Sorry to interrupt, but could you introduce yourself??”
"ah… … . sorry.”
Oliver apologized to Jane, whom he had forgotten for a while, and introduced Murphy and Jane..
"Mr. Murphy. This is Miss Jane. He is the one who invited me to come here today. Miss Jane… … . This is Mr. Murphy."
Not knowing how to describe Murphy, Oliver just said his name..
Even when he thought about it, it didn't seem like something was wrong, but fortunately it didn't seem to be a big problem..
Murphy and Jane knew something about each other.
“hello? nice to meet you It is an honor to meet a famous investment genius these days..”
“you're welcome. I am truly honored to have met the famous liquor king these days. I'm happy and glad that we got to know each other like this..”
Murphy and Jane exchanged greetings as if they were joining hands..
They were polite, but behind the scenes, they were observing and measuring each other calmly. Everyone at the party here did the same.
"I came at the invitation of Lady Jane.?"
Murphy asked for confirmation. When Oliver nodded his head, he hesitated for a moment, then asked a tentative question:.
"If you don't mind, the relationship between you two is……."
Jane, who looked surprised, waved her hand saying no, and Oliver simply answered calmly..
"We know each other.”
"......."
"......."
Murphy and Jane looking at Oliver with surprised expressions.
Murphy couldn't believe his ears for a moment, and Lady Jane looked beyond dumbfounded and slightly angry..
"Do you know each other??”
Oliver looked at Jane glaring at him and wondered if he had made a mistake..
"uh… … . employer and employee?”
"I'm serious.??”
Jane opened her eyes wide and asked again. He looked really angry..
“……What mistake did I make??”
Oliver looked at Murphy and asked a question, and Murphy stepped back, showing both hands as if to stop him from being involved..
Jane said, amazed at the sight..
"Wouldn’t it be polite to at least introduce you as a friend??!!”
“Oh, are you okay with me being friends??”
Oliver asked a question, Jane was speechless again, and then she answered loudly..
“……yes! I want to be friends!!”
"Mr. Murphy. Miss Jane is my friend.”
"ah… … . I see. Congratulations on making a friend..”
“Yes, I'm happy too. I have two friends now.”
Oliver answered sincerely, and Jane covered her face with both hands..
My ears turned red, and I felt embarrassed and embarrassed..
Oliver asked Murphy again..
"What else did I mistake??”
“Please don't put me in there..”
“yes? What on earth are you saying... … . Oh, I'll shut up..”
Oliver decided to keep his mouth shut as he saw Jane grabbing his clothes again and gesturing for him to shut up..
When Oliver shut up, Jane controlled her emotions and resumed the conversation..
"I've only been at the party for less than 10 minutes, and I'm already out of my mind..”
“I think I understand what it is.”
This time Oliver tugged on Jane's collar..
When Jane turned her head, Oliver gestured that he wanted to say something..
Jane gave permission to speak..
"thank you I have something I'd like to ask Mr. Murphy..”
"I'm starting to get a little scared now.?”
“Oh, if it's difficult to answer, you don't have to. Just now, Miss Jane called me the King of Liquor. What does that mean?."
“Oh, that's no big deal. just-”
“-They say he became rich by selling a lot of alcohol..”
Someone put a long arm on Murphy's shoulder and interrupted him..
It was Sheamus..
