Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Scream.

Blood vessels bulging on the forehead of Ghost Lady, head of the Hao clan branch of Kaifeng

“Aunt?”

“Aunt” of a single woman!

She was already worried about the appearance of wrinkles lately, and now he called her straight “girl”!

“I’m telling you, I’m not really a member of the Beggar Sect.”

“…How will you prove it?”

This aunt is being ridiculous, Auntie, are you really from the Hao clan?

“That’s right.”

How are you gonna prove it?

“Because I’m here.”

– Then I’m also from the Hao Clan. Because I’m here.

“I have someone who can testify for me.”

“I also have this beggar here who says I’m not from the Beggar Sect.”

“You can’t trust him.”

“Then go and ask other Beggar Sect beggars.”

“…”

And isn’t this place supposed to be an information organization? An information organization doesn’t know if I’m a Beggar Sect beggar or not? And you still make a living selling information? You lack the basics, the basics.

Blood vessels bulging in Ghost Lady’s forehead.

“Kong-mu.”

“Yes.”

When Ghost Lady opened her mouth, a voice was heard from the air.

“What is the identity of this person?”

Unknown. However, it does not belong to the Beggar Sect.

Wei Yan-ho shrugged.

“See?”

“…”

Looking at Wei Yan-ho’s triumphant face, Ghost Lady wanted to punch him.

Seeing a skull-shaped face mocking her would probably be an experience she would never have in her life again.

“So now I can sell information, right?”

“I won’t sell it.”

“What?”

I’m in a bad mood, so I won’t sell it!

Wei Yan-ho let a deep sigh escape.

Commercial ethics has hit bottom. Even if someone offers to pay, you don’t sell. The days of the Hao Clan are numbered.

“You better be careful with that mouth.”

“Well, it’s not all bad.”

“Kong-mu.”

“Yes.”

“Show him some manners.”

“Yes.”

At that time, a pale figure appeared in front of Wei Yan-ho.

“Tsk!”

Jang-il was tense, sensed the situation was going wrong, when someone appeared like a ghost in front of them. He extended his hand to save Wei Yan-ho.

At that moment…

Bang!

With a sharp and shocking sound, the pale figure was fired at tremendous speed and crashed into the wall.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Jang-il and Ghost Lady opened their mouths simultaneously.

But Wei Yan-ho, startled, ran to the person embedded in the wall.

“Are you okay?”

“…”

Oh, I’m sorry, that old senile has been beating me so hard that when someone tries to hit me, I fight back by reflex without realizing it, so if you had announced your attack in advance, I could have controlled it better…

Kong-mu looked at Wei Yan-ho with stunned eyes.

He could not understand how he had been counterattacked and thrown. He had definitely tried to grab Wei Yan-ho’s neck, but when he regained consciousness, he was embedded on the ground.

A teacher.

And an incredibly skilled teacher, too.

And…

“Does it hurt a lot?”

An incredibly heartbreaking teacher.

Ghost Lady’s attitude changed.

“I did not know that such an esteemed person had honored us with his presence.”

What are you talking about?

But at the words of Wei Yan-ho, the Ghost Lady stopped getting excited. Someone who could annihilate Kong-mu in one stroke could not be an ordinary person.

Jang-il was equally surprised.

‘I thought I might be learning martial arts, but…’

If an ordinary person were so democratized, he would die naturally. A person like that could walk normally meant that he was learning martial arts naturally.

But the technique Wei Yan-ho had just shown was something Jang-il could not understand: a truly rapid technique.

‘A monster.’

The Kaifeng branch of the Hao Clan was, in a way, the most dangerous place.

Located right in front of the headquarters of the Beggar Sect, its importance was indescribable.

Therefore, Kaifeng’s branch was made up of the elite elite chosen by the Hao Clan.

Originally, it should have been operated by the absolute elite who handled murder and force rather than information.

No matter how much the Hao Clan was not specialized in force, living in dealing with the dark information of the world meant facing threats constantly.

Therefore, the Hao Clan spared no money or time in training its elites. The Hao Clan elite certainly was not inferior to the elite of any martial family.

‘And yet, he was knocked out with one blow.’

Jang-il reflected.

Could you achieve the same result as Wei Yan-ho?

Jang-il shook his head.

He’d need at least 20 seconds.

In other words, Wei Yan-ho was much stronger than Jang-il.

This had quite significant implications.

Ghost Lady looked at Jang-il with cold eyes.

“You don’t seem to have come with good intentions.”

Jang-il let a deep sigh escape.

Section Chief Gui, I don’t know if you’ll believe me, but the truth is, I didn’t come with those intentions.

“And the reason you brought that person was because of that?”

“That’s right.”

“Do you drag a tiger into a rabbit’s den and say you came just because you needed skin?”

“It’s hard to believe, but… it’s the truth.”

The Ghost Lady silently looked at Jang-il and then nodded.

“I’ll trust the words of the head of Kaifeng’s branch.”

“Thank you.”

However, giving them information is a separate matter. In any case, it is true that it injured our staff. We must receive adequate compensation for it.

“Compensation?”

There’s no special compensation in the underworld, blood for blood, life for life, four Shadows.

At once, four figures dressed in black appeared from the ground.

Wei Yan-ho was impressed.

“Everyone here appears in mysterious ways?”

The Ghost Lady looked at the quiet Wei Yan-ho and spoke.

“I don’t know what your purpose is, but since you hurt our staff, you won’t go well either.”

I told you it wasn’t intentional, you tried to hit me first, so I unconsciously gave you a little tap.

“…”

The Ghost Lady frowned at Wei Yan-ho’s frivolous appearance.

Four shadows.

They were being stationed at the branch in preparation for possible conflicts with the Mendigo sect.

Even though such people had revealed themselves, that skull-shaped bastard was completely calm as if it were not a problem at all.

The method of the underworld is simple. If an arm is cut off, the extremities are cut off, and if a cheek is slapped, we slice it off.

“Like the calculation of a lender.”

“So we will be generous and just cut the meat off your face.”

“Hmm, well, then…”

Wei Yan-ho gently touched his face and made a sad expression.

“Eh…”

“What?”

I’m sorry, but I don’t have any meat on my face.

“To the end…”

The demon fire rose in Ghost Lady’s eyes.

“Kill him!”

The Four Shadows fell upon Wei Yan-ho with the speed of lightning.

Wait, you said you’d cut the skin off your face, and now you say kill again. Interest accumulates in an instant. What a terrifying compound interest!

Wei Yan-ho trembled as he watched the black swords flying wickedly.

Obviously, those black swords seemed to be covered with poison so powerful that even a scratch could melt the flesh.

But Wei Yan-ho didn’t move.

“Shut!”

Even as Jang-il screamed, Wei Yan-ho remained calm.

Finally, the four swords were about to fasten Wei Yan-ho’s body like a kebab!

Wei Yan-ho hasn’t moved yet.

Whistling!

Instead, with a strange air-cutting sound, the four swords pierced Wei Yan-ho’s body.

Ghost Lady let slip a sigh of relief.

As he had the ability to destroy Kong-mu with one blow, he was prepared to lose two or three of the Four Shadows.

Fortunately, however, Wei Yan-ho offered his body without any particular resistance.

“This is the price for razing in the Hao Clan.”

An immediate response came to Ghost Lady’s words.

“I never made a fuss.”

Ghost Lady looked at Wei Yan-ho in shock.

Wei Yan-ho was standing quietly.

Even though the swords of the Four Shadows had pierced him, he remained there as if nothing had happened.

“W-what?”

She had clearly seen the swords of the Four Shadows pierce her body.

But why did he stay there so calm and without a single wound?

Even if it had been brushed, the Seven Step Short-Soul Venom that covered the swords should have killed his life!

“How?”

“I dodged it.”

“C-When?”

I dodged them one by one.

“…”

“Huh-”

“Don’t move.”

At once, the movement of the Four Shadows to nail their swords into the body of Wei Yan-ho stopped again completely.

It wasn’t his own will.

By the time Wei Yan-ho spoke, they could not move a muscle as if their bodies were trapped in a web.

Their bodies had escaped their control.

‘What the hell?’

Could anyone do this just because their martial arts were strong?

What kind of supernatural power was this?

Wei Yan-ho spoke quietly.

My teacher said you can forgive yourself once, but not twice. Whoever attacks twice can attack three or four times, so never leave any future problems behind.

“…”

I hate that old man, but I’m sure he never says anything bad, so if you attack me one more time, I’ll avoid future problems, but I still don’t want to kill people, so don’t move.

Wei Yan-ho looked at the Ghost Lady.

My father said so too. “If you are going to use your hands, never think of mercy. My brother said the same. Indifference will strangle me. Once I use my hands, I will never finish half.

The Ghost Lady, meeting Wei Yan-ho’s eyes, felt terror as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

This was something different from martial arts.

An indefinable and fundamental terror.

Do you understand what I’m saying?

Ghost Lady nodded unconsciously.

“Then give the order.”

“Return…”

“Suitably.”

“Remove now!”

Ghost Lady screamed like she was squealing.

Blow deaf, knock deaf.

The Four Shadows plummeted on the ground as if they were falling.

His clothes had been soaked in cold sweat for a long time.

The humiliation and despair of having their bodies under the will of another, and the terror that they could be killed instantly if they so desired.

That terror had completely exhausted them.

Ghost Lady finally noticed.

The person in front of me wasn’t someone they could handle.

Even now, if he wanted to, he could take their lives in the blink of an eye.

He was someone you should never touch.

Ghost Lady bit her lips hard.

Now she had to get back together.

They’d already put their heads in a tiger’s mouth.

If she could not recover, the Kaifeng branch of the Hao Clan could disappear today.

“…What do you want?”

If the force didn’t work, all that was left was negotiation.

If he made unreasonable demands, Kaifeng’s branch office would be doomed today.

“Information, I told you.”

“So what kind of information?”

– Hey, that… where did that document go?

Jang-il pulled a document out of his chest.

– I’ve got it.

Jang-il gave the document to the Ghost Lady.

“Please fill in the blanks.”

Ghost Lady opened the document with trembling hands.

“Huh?”

After reading the document for a long time, the Ghost Lady raised her head in silence and looked at Jang-il.

“This?”

“Yes.”

“This information?”

“That’s right.”

“You couldn’t stand it?”

“No, rather, it is so trivial that…

“…”

The demon fire rose in Ghost Lady’s eyes.

“Head of Kaifeng branch.”

“Yes.”

I’ll definitely return this favor.

I’m sorry.

Jang-il bowed his head deeply.

Seeing Ghost Lady’s eyes full of resentment, he thought that sleeping in peace was over from today.

The cold rice he asked for was poisoned, and when he slept, poisonous needles fell from the ceiling.

Ghost Lady trembled as she stared at Jang-il for a long time, then turned to Wei Yan-ho.

“Is this really the information you want?”

“That’s what I’ve been saying.”

“It’s not difficult, however, it will take time to find the information. Can you wait?”

“Yes.”

“Then please wait a minute, and the head of Kaifeng’s branch.”

“…yes.”

“Could you see me for a moment?”

“…yes.”

Jang-il followed Ghost Lady like a cow taken to the slaughterhouse.

From Jang-il’s perspective, it could be unfair, but since he was the cause of all these problems, he had nothing to say in his defense.

Since his position overlapped with Ghost Lady’s, they had some friendship and knowledge, which made it difficult to ignore.

Jang-il returned a little later with the eyes of a bluish black man.

Seeing this, Wei Yan-ho burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha! Did they scold you?”

“…it’s not that.”

“No, but how can someone who is head of the Beggar Sect be beaten?”

“You don’t know how cruel that woman is, you better take a hit and get this over with.”

“You’re really easy to convince.”

“Don’t say that…”

You’re an easy prey.

“I said no more!”

Wei Yan-ho shook and asked.

“Are you gonna hit me?”

“Puaj…”

Jang-il carefully lowered his raised fist.

Had it been a while ago, I would have had the courage to carry forward grunting, but after witnessing Wei Yan-ho’s martial arts, he gained enough judgment to distinguish whether that was suicide or not.

The Mendigo sect is not much either. The Hao Clan is stronger.

“Is that woman a normal member of the Hao Clan?”

“Isn’t he the head of a clan or branch of the same level?”

“That woman… is the daughter of the leader of the Hao clan.”

“Huh?”

The next clan leader, the next clan leader! A woman who grew up eating Spiritual Medicine as if she were rice and chewing Spiritual Pills as if they were iron bars! How could such a person be controlled!

“Well, even so, your positions are the same.”

“Wow.”

The Ghost Lady came in at the time.

“I have brought the information you requested.”
