Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Wei Yan-ho looked away from Gwak Do-san’s fulminating eyes and looked at Jin So-ah.

“Does this seem like a very unfair situation?”

“What do you mean?”

Who do you think is responsible for this?

“It’s because the Young Master is very meddling.”

“Is that so?”

Wei Yan-ho scratched his cheek.

That’s why people should mind their own business. I’ve never seen anyone benefit from getting into other people’s business.

“You have learned a good lesson.”

How irritating!

Very irritating.

“Sigh.”

But what could I do? It was the work of Wei Yan-ho himself.

– So you’re saying you want to fight?

Gwak Do-san shook his hand with disdain.

“I’m not such a violent person.”

– But do you look like it?

If I only knew the violence, I wouldn’t have reached this level of prestige in Hubei’s dangerous underworld.

“Well, I wouldn’t know anything about that.”

For Wei Yan-ho, who didn’t even know who Gwak Do-san was, these words meant absolutely nothing.

“So is there a way to solve this without fighting?”

“There is always a second option.”

Gwak Do-san said with a sinister smile.

“If you give up your rights to the Sacred Hand Hall and leave all the money you currently have behind, I will spare your life.”

“Bough leader.”

When Joageol tried to say something again, Gwak Do-san raised his hand to stop him.

The reason that person ordered his removal is because that bastard became a hindrance, but if he’s not a hindrance, there’s no need to eliminate him.

“If you say so.”

When Joageol understood and stepped back, Gwak Do-san launched his threat.

What are you gonna do, save your life and come back, or end your short life here?

“…Eh.”

Wei Yan-ho collapsed in his chair and asked Jin So-ah with a worried expression.

“How about dinner tonight?”

“Dinner?”

“Yes. Now that I think about it, I never said when I’d be back, so if I come back now, there won’t be any food, will there?

“That…that would be the case.”

“Then should I eat before I return?”

Jin So-ah didn’t understand why this madman was acting like this all of a sudden. To think about dinner in that situation was something that no one ordinary could do.

“You don’t seem to be able to handle the sudden change of circumstances and you’re evading from reality… The situation is very bad right now, Wei So-hyeop.

I also think the situation is very bad. I want to sleep.

“You could sleep forever.”

“That doesn’t seem so bad either…”

Wei Yan-ho snapped his lips with regret.

“But I have to eat.”

If he slept forever, he could no longer eat, and that was unacceptable. Besides, he had to see his family at least once.

“Bastards, are you trying to mess with me right now?”

Gwak Do-san saw what Wei Yan-ho was doing and shouted as he trembled with rage.

“How dare you do other things in front of me, Lord of the Black Land Gwak Do-san, the Emperor of the Underworld of Hubei?”

Gwak Do-san started smoking like he was going to spit fire.

Wei Yan-ho looked at this scene and asked Ha Dae-bung.

“Is that guy’s nickname Lord of the Black Land?”

“That’s right.”

Wouldn’t a Black Pig be more appropriate, a black boar?

“He used to be thin in the old days.”

– Then why did he become like that?

When someone who didn’t eat well starts to taste delicacies, he gets fat. When someone who wallows in the underworld begins to sit on a desk, he becomes even more so.

“I should do some exercise.”

When Wei Yan-ho looked at Gwak Do-san with pity, Gwak Do-san finally exploded.

“Kraaaah!”

Criticize someone in front of them! These bastards had no education at all.

What are you doing, bring me that bastard’s head right now!

“Yes!”

At the words of Gwak Do-san, the guards who had been protecting him began to run towards Wei Yan-ho.

You mustn’t…

Joageol panicked and tried to stop Gwak Do-san, but the guards running towards Wei Yan-ho were a little faster.

“Wow.”

Wei Yan-ho shook his hand.

“Let’s talk first!”

“Shut your mouth!”

Wei Yan-ho looked at the swords and axes flying towards him with an expression of pain.

“Wow.”

Wei Yan-ho’s hands began to react automatically. Baek Mu-han’s instincts that had instilled him for five years allowed him to dodge and counterattack accurately in any situation.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

In an instant, the guards were thrown in all directions at a speed greater than they had approached.

Chocar!

Those who flew backwards had better luck.

Those who were shot went through the roof and were thrown outside. A bright light leaked through the hole of the ceiling, illuminating the interior.

“…It’s still a long time before sunset.”

“Are you thinking about food even in this situation?”

“Sleep and food are the most important things for a person.”

“Wow.”

It was a statement at the same time understandable and completely incomprehensible.

“Is not life the most important thing?”

“Would I die?”

Wei Yan-ho turned his head calmly to look at Gwak Do-san.

“W-what is this?”

Gwak Do-san kept blinking like he was shocked.

“And then what did I tell you?”

Joageol scratched Gwak Do-san with irritation.

Didn’t I say it wasn’t common?

“Even if I’m a teacher, there should be limits…”

Who could have imagined that the carefully selected guards used by the Branch of the Lord of the Black Land, which had pacified the alleys of Hubei, would become pulp and disperse in all directions in an instant?

“This is beyond estimate.”

Decades of living in the underworld.

The reason Gwak Do-san had survived so far through countless crises and fierce battles was his ability to calculate. Especially in the underworld, calculating accurately the difference between oneself and the opponent was more important than anything else.

With a single Wei Yan-ho movement, Gwak Do-san finished assessing the situation.

Even if there were ten Gwak Do-sans, they couldn’t handle that young bastard alone.

“Did you eat anything from Imoogi Core or something?”

Wei Yan-ho shook his hands with disdain.

I’ve never eaten anything like that, although I did eat something like that.

Wei Yan-ho kept thinking.

If I had eaten the inner core of a supreme master, it could be considered a fortune not very different from eating an Imoogi Core…

“Though I didn’t really get anything out of it.”

He had amassed a fortune, but the problem was that it specialized in tormenting people. In fact, Baek Mu-han’s Inner Core in his stomach was a device that would drain his qi and make him a corpse if Wei Yan-ho’s achievements were delayed.

“Not all fortunes seem to be good.”

– What are you talking about, you bastard?

“Hey, explaining it would be long… I won’t explain it.

“Little bastard!”

By nature, I wanted to immediately rip that young bastard’s head off and kick it, but if Gwak Do-san pounced on that young bastard now, Gwak Do-san would be the one who would end up that way.

“It was good that I complained beforehand.”

Gwak Do-san sighed and shouted back.

“Distinguished guests, please help us.”

Faced with Gwak Do-san’s cry, there was movement beyond the curtain.

Pass, pass.

People, wrapped entirely in black robes, with black bamboo hats drawn and swords at their sides, slowly opened the curtain and entered.

“Hmm?”

Wei Yan-ho bowed his head when he saw him.

“Do you know these people?”

“No.”

– Then why are you acting like this?

“Like what?”

“You seem to recognize them.”

“No, I was just wondering what those people who are out there openly announcing “I’m a suspicious person” would be thinking.

“…Now that you mention it.”

Black shirts and black bamboo hats. It was impressive that they had walked through the main streets in such outfit.

“What do you need us to do?”

Gwak Do-san was momentarily angry at the figure of black robe, who spoke immediately informally, but did not demonstrate it in his expression. If they were followers of that person, their status and martial arts would be incomparable with those of Gwak Do-san himself.

“Please take care of that young bastard.”

The bamboo hat of the figure dressed in black bowed slightly.

“Understood.”

“Mmm.”

Gwak Do-san found himself nodding without realizing it.

Normally, in such cases, most people acted arrogantly and asked why they had been called to deal with such a nobody. Gwak Do-san had experienced many similar situations and had often acted like that.

But these people showed no signs of underestimating their opponent, no complaints and immediately took their stand.

“How great must that person be to use those people as subordinates!”

Gwak Do-san felt renewed respect and fear for that person.

“No emotions.”

Rip.

The figure dressed in black who went to the front drew his sword and walked step by step towards Wei Yan-ho.

“Mmm.”

Wei Yan-ho watched the scene and got a little serious.

– So-hyeop.

Even from Jin So-ah’s perspective, these newcomers had a different atmosphere. He called Wei Yan-ho with concern, but he remained still and stared at the figures dressed in black.

“Do you remember what I said before?”

“Yes?”

“I need to correct that.”

“What do you mean?”

“There is something familiar in its atmosphere.”

Wei Yan-ho started scratching his head.

I think I’ve seen them somewhere, but I don’t remember where I couldn’t have seen them in the last five years, so it must have been before.

Wei Yan-ho felt that the position and foot movement of the approaching person were familiar to him. He could not specify where he had seen them, but felt that he had definitely seen them somewhere in the past.

“Uf, my head doesn’t work.”

The memory seemed to come but did not.

In such cases, asking directly was the best method.

“Uncle, where are you from?”

The steps of the figure dressed in black wavered.

“…why do you ask?”

“Haven’t we met somewhere before?”

“No.”

“How strange, I think I’ve seen you somewhere, is it because I’ve been messing with people dressed in black lately?”

Wei Yan-ho bowed his head, but the figure dressed in black did not respond and continued walking step by step before lifting his sword.

“Ask the King of Hell and he will give you an answer.”

“My God, what harsh words.”

Whispering!

Immediately, the sword in the figure’s hand dressed in black flew to Wei Yan-ho like lightning.

Chocar!

Wei Yan-ho’s chair fell back and crashed into the ground.

“Wow, that startled me!”

Wei Yan-ho blinked.

He had casually approached, so Wei Yan-ho thought they would simply fight, but the sword he flew at that moment was so fast and deadly that anyone other than Wei Yan-ho would have offered his neck without knowing it.

‘Is this what they call Dark Sword?’

He had heard of his master.

That when you go out into the world, there are sword techniques specialized only in killing opponents by any means necessary.

Generally used by assassins and hit men, his goal was to cut off opponents without warning, he had said.

“And uh…”

His master’s words came to Wei Yan-ho’s mind.

These people are usually bastards who have killed countless people. Never underestimate them or treat them with sweetness. The best method is to catch them and kill them all as soon as you see them. Remember this!

“Mmm…”

Problematic, very problematic.

But as his master had emphasized it to such an extent, it would be uncomfortable to treat them half-heartedly.

Wei Yan-ho rolled back once and got up.

“Uncle.”

Wei Yan-ho looked at Ha Dae-bung and said.

“Please speak, young master.”

“Could you lend me a sword?”

Wei Yan-ho extended his hand to one side.
