I’m the Only Magic Tower Owner Episode 242
The situation quickly changed with my joining. Although the number of cartels was large, most of them were wanderers.
I waved at the cartel from behind, spraying golems at them, and as I picked out the commanders and took them down, the command system fell into chaos. Afterwards, the Ghost Team’s counterattack, which had stabilized, began and the situation was resolved.
The battle is over. Bound cartel members are seen kneeling in a huddle in a corner.
“I am truly indebted to you.”
I was shaking hands with a man I initially recognized as the leader of the ghost squad.
This person’s name is ‘Hector Marques’. Of course, he is only in charge of internal affairs and diplomacy, and the real leader is the Ghost King Mari.
This person seems to be second in command.
“We have to help each other.”
I shook his hand and took a quick look around. Part of the Ghost Corps headquarters building was burned or destroyed.
“It’s easy.”
“Now… I’m used to it.”
Marques said calmly.
“When Marie is away to prevent disaster, the cartel’s massive offensive begins. It’s an unfair fight. We have to take responsibility for the entire vast expanse of Mexico, but we’re not the cartel.”
“Can’t you just capture me and completely exterminate me?”
Marques shook his head.
“It is virtually impossible to eradicate the cartels. They are made up of point organizations, and there is no distinction between good citizens and the cartels. Of course, their power is formidable, so they also have to endure great damage.”
“……Hmm.”
“More than anything, if we move rashly, the cartel will stop its internal strife and join forces to fight against us. The higher-ups who took the cartel’s money will also interfere with us.”
Wow, there are so many reasons. Adult situations are complicated. It’s complicated.
“By the way, when will the Ghost King come?”
“This is the final step. You will return here as soon as the disaster is over.”
A debt has been created on the side of Ghost University. But I don’t know if I can move Marie with this or not.
Mexico seems to be in a hectic state due to its internal problems. Sort out the disaster, come back and fight the cartel, and if another disaster happens, go to sort it out.
I heard that Han Yun-jeong’s Egypt is also having a hard time due to monsters in the restricted area of the Nile River, but it seems that the kids are much worse.
“Then let me formally propose one.”
“yes?”
“This is a deal for help, my wife. I will take down one of the biggest cartels opposing you. In return, the Ghost Corps will help us in the upcoming fight against Albert. How about that?”
Marques blinked.
“I’ll have to talk to Mari for more details, but… is that possible?”
“Nothing is impossible. The Ghost Army seems to have complicated interests within Mexico, but I don’t have anything like that.”
Marques left immediately to speak with Marie, saying he would consult with her.
‘Then I’ll try to move as I please.’

The underground facility of the Ghost Army headquarters.
“I prepared because it was an order, but the ghost guild member shook his head.
“Cartel guys aren’t usually vicious. Torture, threats, and persuasion don’t work. They won’t disclose information in most cases.”
Now in the room in front of me, seven cartel members are tied to chairs with their eyes and mouths covered. I looked at the potion in my hand.
‘Confession potion’ made by Jin Jin-ra.
It’s not a convenient item that you’ll always confess to when you drink it.
The conditions are very strict. It is said that it does not work on players with anti-magic power, and that the effect only applies if the target is suffering from remorse.
‘Will this really work?’
Still, we have to make ends meet. I decided to give it a try.
I first untied the straps that covered their eyes, and then played the documentary on the screen in front of them.
This is a cartel documentary made with the support of the Mexican government.
It was made for the purpose of promoting the ‘war on crime’ and calming public opinion, but just one day after it aired, the video producers were brutally chopped to death by killers, and even politicians and residents supported by the cartel rose up and the broadcast was eventually stopped.
I played the video and watched their reactions from behind.
Well, as expected, there is no reaction. They turn their heads, yawn, or make noises with their closed mouths.
‘… … It’s all good, but even when I look at it, it looks like a video.’
It is said to have been made by a public broadcaster, but it is not fun because it emphasizes the educational aspect too much. It seems like it takes too long to explain that drugs are bad.
Meanwhile, the video moved to an interview with the victim.
There are anecdotes such as stories of starving children who lost their parents, widows who lost their husbands, and mothers caring for their drug-addicted sons.
‘oh?’
I still see members of the organization snorting, but I also see people who are mentally shaken.
‘But it’s not completely hopeless.’
After a while, the video ended. I kindly made each person open their mouth and poured a confession potion into them.
When all seven were fed, they started talking and laughing as if they were drunk.
After checking the situation, I had the ghost hunters enter the small room one by one.
“Then let me ask.”
I asked everyone the same question.
“Security will be ensured, so don’t worry, just tell me the boss’s location.”
The interrogation continued. A few people went crazy and cursed, while others showed hesitation but kept their mouths shut for fear of retaliation.
And one person.
“The central mansion in Valladolid is our headquarters. The boss is there now.”
… … It’s so easy to get carried away that it’s rather suspicious, isn’t it?
“Why are you obediently telling me this?”
He closed his eyes and sighed.
“I was originally a farmer. I lost my son in a cartel shooting, but the entire Mexican agricultural industry was in ruin, so I joined the cartel to feed my family.”

“……hmm.”
I’ve heard it before. Most people who grow drugs do it because they have no other way to make a living.
“It’s not hypocrisy. It’s even less about atonement. This doesn’t mean my sins will go away, and after a while, I’ll never be able to get rid of my dog’s habit and go back to shooting people.”
… … A friend who knows himself very well.
“I am trash. One day, I too will meet a miserable end like the person I killed. But…”
He closed his eyes tightly. He seemed to be thinking of his dead son.
“I just want to be faithful to this momentary emotion I’m feeling right now. That’s all.”
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
I don’t think he’s lying. I sent this friend, who was drunk with the potion, to the ghost squad and got up.
‘Ah. Did you hear? ‘Where is that place?’
-It’s not that far. We will display it right away.
I looked at the sky outside the window.
It was clear without a single cloud.
‘It’ll be the first time in a while that I’ll use that magic.

Mexican drug lord ‘Alvarez’.
Among most drug cartels in Mexico, he had unrivaled power.
He increased his power by absorbing numerous small and medium-sized cartels, and was exerting his influence over the police, prosecutors, hunters’ association, and even the political world by installing his people.
In addition, he was a monster that was deeply entrenched in Mexico, winning the favor of residents by investing in infrastructure projects such as building hospitals and schools in the provinces he governed.
In fact, the biggest reason why the Mexican president declared surrender was because of Alvarez’s power.
However, Alvarez was not in a good mood today.
“Blanco’s entire attack team was defeated?”
“Yes, I’m sorry. A hunter named Mage Tower suddenly interrupted me…”
Alvarez frowned.
“Magic tower lord? Was there such a person?”
“This is the Hunter name I recently changed. Before, I was called Grand Mage…”
“Ah, the kid who spread magic to that world.”
He patted the desk with a worried expression.
“It’s an outside hunter, so it’s annoying.”
“What would you like to do?”
“Still, internal strife is more difficult than outsiders. If we stay back like this, our subordinates will look down on us. Send a hunter assassination team and kill us without fail before we return to Korea.”
“All right.”
Alvarez stood up and looked at the window.
The wind was strong outside and the trees were shaking. No, I was shaken a bit too badly.
‘what?’
Trees are uprooted and flying away.
When I looked closely, I saw that it wasn’t the wind. An indescribably large lump of steam was approaching this way.
“T-tornado?”
Qarring!
Lightning flashed inside the cloud.
Every time lightning flashed, the inside of the gray cloud glowed with blue fluorescent light, which gave me goosebumps.
The swirling clouds advanced, crushing everything in their path.
Alvarez had a hunch. It is by no means just a natural phenomenon.
“come!”
“Dodge, dodge!”
Alvarez broke the window and ran outside, and other gang members followed suit.
Gooooooooooo!
No one could stop this huge phenomenon. As the cloud pillar passed, even the concrete building turned into rubble and collapsed.
The gang members who were swept away by the wind were screaming and spinning frantically.
Soon, blue lightning flashed and their voices were drowned out. Alvarez and his gang members, who narrowly escaped, watched in fascination.
“……ah!”
Alvarez belatedly realized the direction the clouds were heading.
“Holy shit! No! You can’t go there!”
The punishment of the cloud that passed by and destroyed the entire mansion even hit the drug warehouse behind it. All kinds of drug leaves and finished product powder are swept away by the tornado.
Alvarez fell to his knees.
“Well, how much is that…”
The tornado did not stop and devastated Alvarez’s mansion.
All weapons and guards had been disabled and were rolling around.
“It’s not a fuss.”
Someone was entering the empty mansion.
A man wearing a dark blue suit and carrying a short sword behind his back.
The gang members urgently aimed their guns at him.
“……Who are you?”
Alvarez asked in a weak voice. His eyes were still focused on his devastated mansion.
“Would you know if I told you that I am Kim Yu-shin, the lord of the Magic Tower?”
Alvarez turned his head at those words and widened his eyes.
“You’re the magic tower lord? Then you can’t believe that…!”
Yushin answered with a bright smile.
“Yes. I did it.”
