Chapter 46

With Eden’s death, the gang was completely annihilated, and things progressed surprisingly quickly.

Although it was noisy with the appearance of a black giant that briefly appeared in Area 48, it is not too difficult to keep your mouth shut on this floor.

Dyke cleared the power plant that the black magician of Pandemonium had pushed aside, established a new branch in its place, and quickly began to dominate the business.

The business needs to be stabilized quickly before the city government checks begin.

Rather, for Panoa and other project teams, from now on, it could be said that it was a real job.

With the success of the plan, the long internal dispute at Dyke Headquarters was also put to an end.

Shareholders unanimously raised the president’s hand, and the company’s management rights were completely transferred to Dustin Goodman.

In the meantime, the restrictions on manpower that had been severely limited to Panoa were completely lifted, and her position ran to the upper limit day by day.

“Come this way. I was waiting.”

Mana, who had been in front of the elevator, politely escorted Lennok to Panoa’s office.

Her expression is usually difficult to understand, but lately, she seems to be more energetic in her actions.

“Looks like things are going well.”

“It looks like it shows off a lot.”

Even as she answered that, Mana’s face remained expressionless.

“I haven’t even started my business properly yet, and the expected income is unusual. Various customers, including freelancers and mercenaries active in the outer zone, are already trying to make deals with us to supplement the lack of weapons.”

“.........”

“The outlook is positive enough that we need to run more than half of the production line to meet the expected volume.”

Since the project she participated in was a huge success, her position in the company must have risen dramatically.

The elevator stopped and the door opened.

The floor where Panoa’s office is located.

In the space where only she worked, dozens of employees were busy moving around, carrying documents and having conversations while holding on to the receiver.

“There is a problem with the maintenance of Plant 4, but there is a shortage of manpower? I’ll send you a list of subcontractors, so select one and send an email back here.”

“During the first production inspection process, defects are not properly checked.”

“Request additional staffing at the top and check the manual again.”

“The Ministry of Finance is empty! Who owns the phone here!”

As soon as people who were shouting and moving loudly saw Mana’s face, they adjusted their attitude and took notice.

She knocked on the glass door of Panoa’s office slowly, while subtly enjoying the blatant gaze.

Immediately the door opened and Panoa, who had a pale complexion, greeted Lennok.

“Come on in. It’s the first time I’ve seen you since the operation.”

“Long time no see.”

Lennok asked as soon as he sat down on his now-familiar office couch.

“Your face doesn’t look very good.”

“Well... there are things I can’t do if it’s not now.”

As she said that, she smiled skillfully at Lennok.

“Even so, we cannot postpone the gift we should give to the wizard.”

Like the obvious story, it doesn’t happen that the hound is boiled in a pot just because the work is over.

Rather, Panoa continued to keep in touch with Lennok even after the job was over, and worked tirelessly to show that he had not forgotten him.

This is because he is well aware that the unexpected success of this plan depended solely on the ability of one person, Lennok.

The reason why he was able to make up for the lack of manpower and information and destroy the gang from the front is that Lennok is a powerful person beyond the category of a simple wizard.

She is aware of the fact that the pot prepared to boil the hound can be ruined whole.

Then there is only one thing you can do.

I have no choice but to give you a sweeter reward and make sure your teeth don’t turn this way.

In particular, the current one room was quite narrow to accommodate the items Lenok had, and the security was not good, so he was holding a bit of anxiety.

For this kind of money, it is possible to get a relatively spacious house in a more inner city area.

‘It’s hard to make money, but it’s hard to spend it...’

The gist is one.

Excluding the cost of purchasing elixirs and drugs, how much money can be spent on improving living conditions?

And how much more should I invest in the future?

Considering that wizards need a proper laboratory, it is inevitable that they will continue to increase their personal space in the future.

However, at the same time, it was necessary to leave enough money to maintain the health and vitality of the body with more expensive elixirs and drugs.

It was a difficult problem, and it was a worry that I couldn’t confide in anyone.

I have no choice but to ponder on my own and find the answer as if I were swimming on bare ground.

The smoke that disperses far away blends into the cold air of the city and disappears.

Winter was coming.

Noise

“Are you gone?”

“yes. As always, he never looked back.”

“It deserves it.”

“.....president.”

Panoa, who had cast her gaze beyond the window, reluctantly turned her head.

Dustin, who was sitting on the sofa, lazily shook the coffee cup he was holding.

“No matter what happens, you have to hold on to Van.”

“I know. And he knows.”

“.........”

“How can you not know when you are courting me so blatantly?”

Dustin’s self-deprecating muttering isn’t wrong.

The reason why Panoa gave Lennok a series of unconventional gifts was because the upper echelons had their own judgment that they should capture him.

“I went to a meeting for a while this time. My friends started asking about the wizard.”

“.........”

“Everyone knows how precious a skilled wizard is without belonging.”

Dustin’s eyes shone sharply.

“You see what I mean?”

“of course.”

Rumors are already spreading among companies about how much the Dyke Corporation will benefit from this and what kind of magician’s power was at the center.

For those who are more sensitive to the word profit than anything else, the market opened by Dyke will seem like a perfect new continent to them.

“I was told that other companies would not be able to set foot here, at least until the inspections conducted directly by the city government were over. During that time, we must pay attention to solidifying and maintaining the sales network of the weapons we have produced.”

And the name of the powerful wizard who accomplished all of this can be of great help to their plans.

The result of a grand lobby that encompasses the political and business worlds.

It’s only a temporary advantage, but for a large company like them, it must be an opportunity to get it by devoting everything.

“He must know that there is still one request left.”

A collaboration that has been promised five times cooperation.

We went through three operations together, one of which was removed by Dustin himself, so there is only one left.

This promise should not be used to simply tie him down, but as an opportunity to build a better relationship.

“Let’s take our time and work slowly. As long as I have a contact with that broker...the opportunity will come one day.”
