Genius Warlock-Episode 283
[What a terrible day it must be.…….]
One day a news came on the radio..
And that too on the weekend..
[Suddenly, sporadic terrorist attacks occurred throughout the city. Bombs exploded in a number of factories in the industrial district, and large-scale collisions occurred on some major roads, resulting in numerous casualties. The police attempted to respond immediately, but were having difficulties due to traffic congestion and lack of manpower. In some cases…….]
Just like the story on the news, on a quiet weekend, a series of big and small incidents suddenly occurred all over Randa..
Factory explosions, large-scale traffic accidents, robberies in broad daylight, etc..
Of course, even if the number was large, it was not that great when viewed as a whole, which is the size of dozens of cities combined..
In fact, the area around Oliver's house was as peaceful as usual..
It clearly happened in the same city, but to Oliver it seemed like it happened across the ocean..
And other people may have felt the same way; except for the place where the accident occurred and the police department, Landa was calm overall..
However, as the weekend passed, an incident occurred that no one could ignore anymore..
That is, important ABC officials, including Sheamus, disappeared in one night..
***
“I didn't even know it would come out like this.”
Landa City Security Bureau Building. Paul Carver tried his luck in the largest conference room..
He seemed perplexed, but also slightly delighted..
Because, as he claimed, it turned out that Sheamus was a fraud..
'Of course, the process was not smooth, but…….'
Oliver thought about what had happened over the past two weeks..
Two weeks in which Sheamus and Carver each fought fiercely..
As soon as Sheamus' claim that he had not encountered a financial fraudster was revealed to be a lie, he attempted to tackle the situation head on..
It is true that the person he met is currently suspected of being a financial fraudster in the center of the continent, and he is also an enjoyment druid..
People were very shaken by that statement, but Sheamus did not give in..
He claimed that the person suspected of being a financial fraudster was in fact falsely accused..
It was nonsense that would have made an average person frown, but when someone around Sheamus spoke with an iron plate on his face, people flinched..
With all the momentum, Sheamus shouted through newspapers and radio..
‘Craig is a hard-working businessman. Rather, he was wrongly accused of being a fraudster due to the backward financial system and backward economic system in the central part of the continent. That's why I met in secret. Don’t you all know how much of a beggar those hillbillies are??’
Since he could not deny the meeting, he insisted on Craig's innocence and ridiculed the poor economy and outdated financial system in the center of the continent, which was divided into small countries..
What an amazing response. What was even more surprising was that it worked.
Through Craig, Sheamus announced a surprising plan to consider ABC's overseas expansion and announced that he intends to return more than that amount of profit to the first investors in Randa..
10They said they would increase the profits from a minimum of 12% to a maximum of 15%..
Investors who were suspicious of Sheamus were shaken again by those words..
Even the natural sense of crisis as a living organism has become clouded by the fact that more free money can be received..
Of course, Carver didn't sit still either..
He officially publicized the risks of ABC, and as he explained to Oliver, he analyzed the investment profits that ABC would have to pay each month and ABC's current rate of return, and made a very strong statement that this was a fraud..
Claims based on complex mathematical calculations were enough to rekindle people's anxiety, and quite a few people started looking for money..
However, Sheamus maintained his confident attitude and responded by returning the principal and investment profits to those who came to collect the money..
As if there is no problem at all without you guys..
At the same time, he showed everyone the partnership proposals from Gallos and other overseas asset owners and investment companies, showing off ABC's soundness and vision..
'You are mistaken. ABC's true vision is not your money, but the world tree investment system I have built. World tree investment system… … ! One of the city's iron rice bowls is talking complicatedly and scaring you, but there is one thing that both you and he have overlooked... … . That is to say, none of ABC's investments have failed so far. If you have it, bring it. Because I'm about to close down the company.!!’
Sheamus dropped all pretense and claimed, and he wasn't wrong..
There was a gap between Sheamus's claimed rate of return and ABC's actual return on investment, but ABC did not suffer any losses..
Sheamus claimed that the investment system is growing day by day, so stable profits can soon be achieved, and that the shortfall can be covered by investments from overseas asset owners and investment companies that have proposed partnerships, so all customers' money is safe.,
As proof of this, investment profits were paid without delay even when a significant number of customers claimed their money..
After a week, most of the customers who had been collecting money changed their minds and returned the money to ABC..
Even taking out a loan..
Sheamus' winning strategy worked. Thanks to this, the investment amount, which was 2.8 trillion won, increased by 300 billion won, exceeding 3 trillion won..
However, during the weekend when the city was in chaos, Sheamus disappeared. Like smoke.
“Thanks to this, the city is now in chaos. Especially, focusing on the urban working class. The city's quick-witted property owners took out a small amount of money, but the workers even entrusted their friends with loans and entrusted them with all their assets. It can't be anything other than a tragedy.”
Carver said without any sincerity..
“However, if there is bad news, there is also good news. Knowing the seriousness of the incident, the city council gave us a special investigative team to catch Sheamus. From now on, you can move confidently without having to hide..”
Arthur raised his hand..
“Can I ask you a question??”
“Let's do it.”
“I'm glad we didn't mess around and did the right thing, but isn't the special investigation team too dangerous? Actually, what you're saying is special investigation, shouldering the gun and solving this mess? If you fail, it becomes dangerous.?”
Oliver didn't have anything to say because he didn't know much about it, but judging by the reactions of people around him, it didn't seem like he was wrong..
They were happy to have taken the lead in this case, but at the same time they felt pressured to have official responsibility..
“A weak city council could use us as meat shields to avoid the city's wrath..”
“Well, I won't deny that. In fact, the lawmakers who were being paid by Sheamus suggested that we take over the job. They'll probably use us as a shield if things don't go their way..”
“Damn… … . So, it’s a big deal, right? We don’t even know where Sheamus is? Or does anyone know??”
Arthur saw Albert of the Moirae school..
“Sorry, I don't know either. We were monitoring through the World Tree, but perhaps because we were attacked last time, we refrained from communicating using the World Tree, so we couldn't find out anything. Judging by the instantaneous change in means of communication, it appears that preparations for escape have been made for a long time..”
In other words, although the move was sudden, the preparations were thorough..
It was a pretty despairing story as Sheamus's whereabouts were unknown and the police department had no manpower to mobilize due to the accident that occurred over the weekend..
But Carver's reaction was different..
“That's all true. I don't know where Sheamus is, and the surveillance team I hired hasn't heard from me. However, if there really was no way, I wouldn't have received the special investigation team position in the first place..”
“……then?”
“Could you please all come in??”
Carver said towards the conference room door..
The door creaked open and two groups of people came in..
All the faces Oliver knows.
Joe from Fighter Crew and Jane from Sisterhood. These two each brought their own people..
"……They are?”
“That's the Fighter Crew, a group of fixers under contract with the Crime Firm, and those people are Sister Hood. They will informally supplement the lack of manpower and information..”
Albert asked a question.
“I don't quite understand? I know about them, but why are they suddenly helping us??”
Moirai School Albert asked a question. Just as Carver was about to reply, Jane opened her mouth..
“It's to live..”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Jane. She asked Carver for her permission and then continued to explain..
“ABC has gotten so big that people seem to have forgotten for a while that Sheamus was in Crime Firm and Sister Hood. After a while, people will realize this and try to bite us..”
Oliver was the first to raise his hand..
“Yes, Dave… … . We meet again like this. I'm so glad to see you.”
“Yes, nice to meet you too. Miss Jane. As far as I know, Sheamus left Sisterhood, taking his support base with him. Is that a problem??”
“For those who have lost all their money, it is only a minor problem. In fact, Daisy, one of Sheamus' lovers and a former Sisterhood member, was kidnapped and tortured by fixers who lost money while shopping yesterday. She's not dead, but she has to lie in bed for the rest of her life..”
“ah… … . okay.”
Oliver said with understanding..
“The same goes for us. Crime Firm is horrified to be caught up in this mess. There are also people who have entrusted funds to the organization..”
Joe said politely to Oliver. He wore the same suit as before, but a little more loosely, and his hair was messy, as if he hadn't waxed it..
It could be said that it was a natural appearance rather than an unnatural appearance recently... … . It was nice to see.
“greatness. greatness… … . Can I speak again??”
Carver asked politely in the meeting room where it suddenly seemed like he was reporting to Oliver..
Oliver apologized and passed the floor to Carver..
“thank you As the two explained earlier, they also have their own reasons for holding on to Sheamus. The Crime Firm has information on Sheamus and has thousands of members, and the Sisterhood not only has a multi-faceted intelligence network, but also knows the secret hiding place discovered by Sheamus' subordinates. So, we will work together with them to chase down Sheamus. First of all, we will divide into teams, so based on this, each”
-Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
While Carver was briefing, a terrible sound echoed throughout the room..
It's so scary that it gives me goosebumps all over my body..
Of course, Carver had no choice but to stop talking, and everyone turned their heads towards the source of the sound..
Directly towards Oliver..
Oliver apologized to the people and took out a small, round piece of meat from his arms..
The identity of the piece of meat was a compressed, dried human head, a type of communication device received from none other than Lee Wan..
Everyone fell silent at the sight of the hideous item, and Oliver apologized repeatedly and activated the communication device..
The screaming stopped..
“Uh, hey, something urgent right now.-”
Oliver spoke, but small words came out one-way from the mouth of the human head..
Oliver paused..
The words coming out were too quiet to be heard, but I could tell that Oliver's reaction was unusual..
Oliver's expression, which had been calm in the face of any crisis or insult, crumpled ever so slightly..
Normally, compared to other people, it would just be overlooked as something unpleasant, but for some reason, the people in the conference room felt a strange sense of tension..
The tension running up my spine..
Slurp.
Oliver slowly stood up, pulling back his chair..
And opened my mouth.
“Mr. Carver... … . I'm at work. I'm sorry, but I have some business to attend to. Could you please excuse me??”
***
“Ugh… … ! Kids and women run away quickly!!”
shouted Cant, the head of the poor brothers..
To the cries of cant, beggars armed with guns and clubs forced women and children to take refuge in a secret passageway in the back..
Instead of screaming as they had been trained to do, they moved around with both hands covering their mouths..
In order for the weak to survive in this city, they had to hide themselves in silence rather than scream for help..
The moment he saw the women and children running away safely, a young beggar shouted.
"It's coming!!”
An urgent cry. Dozens of beggars were very nervous and hid behind cover..
And they all aimed their guns at the intruders coming from the dark sewer at the end..
"shoot!!"
On Cant's orders, the beggars camped at the entrance to the abandoned sewer opened fire..
The flashing muzzle flame lit up the sewer and at the same time knocked down the invading enemies..
“Ouch.....!"
“stop! stop! There are guns!”
“What kind of bastards!!”
The embarrassed enemies screamed and backed away. Cant's men rejoice at an unexpected save..
Cant said not to let down your guard..
If the gang attacked while they were watching Sheamus, this was an unusual sign..
As soon as I could think that, something came running from the other side of the darkness again..
It was a druid.
“shoot!!"
Cant shouted again, and his men shot at the quickly running man..
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
A loud gunshot.
However, the man burst out laughing as if it was ridiculous and rushed forward in a straight line, covering only sensitive parts such as his eyes..
It was human flesh, but the bullet didn't hit it..
“This is crazy……!”
“Hahaha!!”
When the beggars got tired of the unreasonable force, the man shouted and kicked the drum filled with cement with his long legs..
Surprisingly, the drum filled with cement was not only crushed like an empty can, but flew back several meters, crushing all the beggars in its range..
"......."
Cant be speechless at the shocking sight. It was a monster that was rare even during the time he was working as a problem solver..
The shock didn't end there.
A rat the size of a wild dog had crawled through a crack in the ceiling and attacked the poor brothers..
Squeak! Take a picture! Squeak! Take a picture!
The rats' regular cries and their ability to eat human intestines alive evoked fear, and only once did the initiative of the fight fall to the intruders..
Take a picture!! Take a picture!!
Take a picture!! Take a picture!!
Cant swung his quarter step at two rats running towards him, splitting their heads off, and fired a pistol at close range, piercing their heads..
And then shouted.
“Everyone retreats!!”
As soon as Cant's order was given, the poor brothers who had been fighting desperately against the intruder began to run away all at once..
It was an excellent command to save the dying members, but for Cant, it was actually dangerous..
“you are the boss.”
The druid lightly picked up the fragments of the broken wooden box and threw it at Cant..
Although the druid lifted it lightly, the box was quite heavy, and as proof of this, Cant, who was unable to avoid the fragments of the box, was hit and fell down..
Step by step. Step by step. Step by step. druid coming.
The members blocked Cant's path by shooting to protect him, but the Druid's lightly swung fist crushed his head and killed him..
Cant, who saw this, squeezed his strength and swung the quarter staff despite the pain, but the druid only held on with his quick reflexes..
“Are you the leader of the beggars??”
The druid asked a question, then raised his hand blade and cut off one of Cant's arms with the quarter staff..
Kwasik! Red blood spurted out along with a screaming sound..
"......!!"
Cant let out a silent scream..
“oh… … . bear with it?”
A Druid trampling Cant with his big feet. He put some weight on his feet. In response, a crackling sound came from Cant's ribs..
“gaffer. Are you the bastard who took pictures of our boss? I mean the hotel?”
Instead of answering, Cant just glared..
“He's not answering... … . Well, who cares? I'm just here to vent about this shitty situation.."
The druid lifted his foot slightly. Trying to trample to death like this.
At that time, I felt a strange presence in front of me..
When I turned my head, there was actually a person standing there..
A man wearing a thick and large cape..
He said.
“You worked hard, leave.”
