Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 249

**Chapter 249: The Lazy One is Dangerous (4)**

No! That’s not it!

Jangil, who was about to be deceived by Wei Yanho’s eloquence, shook his head.

It made sense, but that’s how the information business is. Just as there are people who buy information, everyone knows that their information is sold, and they ignore it.

“That’s how this business is.”

“Huh?”

“It’s better to leave it like this. Are we strangers?”

“Yes, we are strangers.”

“W… well, yes, we are strangers. But that’s how the information industry is.”

“I don’t care about that.”

Wei Yanho waved his hands.

“Give it to me.”

“What?”

“The money you received.”

“……”

Jangil’s body trembled. Had he been called to give the money he got from selling his information?

“You damn thief!”

“It’s a sad truth.”

“Why do you need that money? I won’t give it! I can’t! Kill me!”

When Jangil became enraged, Wei Yanho shrugged.

“You can’t give it?”

“No!”

“Okay. Leave.”

“……”

Jangil felt even more anxious as Wei Yanho started eating calmly.

Wei Yanho normally didn’t move, but he was persistent. If someone offended him, he would take revenge.

Why was he letting him go?

“……Can I really leave?”

“Yes, leave.”

“Seriously?”

“I’m just being taken advantage of.”

Jangil looked at Wei Yanho with an uneasy expression. Wei Yanho told him to leave, but his gut told him not to go.

“What will happen if I leave?”

Jangil’s advantage is that he doesn’t think too much. He doesn’t have the bad habit of worrying about problems he can’t solve. If he’s curious, he just asks.

“What will happen? Mister Leader.”

‘How petty.’

It seemed he wanted to end their personal relationship and start a professional one. If someone else said that, he could resolve it by having a drink, but Wei Yanho wasn’t like that.

He was extremely petty.

“Ugh.”

He wanted to attack Wei Yanho, but if he did, he would end up on another mountain.

‘He’s strong and petty.’

What was Buddha thinking when he created this guy?

He trembled, but he thought calmly. If he compared the money he had received with the future profits he would get by maintaining a relationship with Wei Yanho, the scale tipped towards the future profits.

“Ugh.”

But that’s how people are.

Giving up a small profit for a large future profit causes pain and sadness. Jangil swallowed.

“I… I put it under the bed.”

“Get it!”

“Yes!”

Namgung Yeongryeong ran outside when Ho Cheolsan gestured. She was angry because Ho Cheolsan had taken her money, but the misfortune of others was her happiness.

“Hey! Why are you robbing the poor beggars?!”

It was his last effort. But Wei Yanho was ruthless.

“Does that money go to the beggars?”

“Yes!”

“I’ve never heard of the Beggar Sect giving food to the beggars. So why do they beg?”

“……”

“They say the Beggar Sect makes a lot of money. Why are the Beggar Sect members beggars living in shacks and begging?”

“Huh?”

Jangil tilted his head.

He had never thought of it that way.

“This money is used to help the people of the Central Plains.”

He remembered something he had heard.

“Beggars help people? You should be the ones who need help! Will people say you’re a great beggar if you collect money to help others? It’s just a beggar doing beggar things.”

“Ugh.”

Jangil only confirmed the truth that he shouldn’t talk to that guy.

Namgung Yeongryeong returned with a box with a bright smile and put it at Wei Yanho’s feet. Wei Yanho opened the box and looked at Jangil with a smile.

“Give it to me.”

“What else…?”

“The money you kept.”

“Kuh.”

Jangil, with trembling hands, reached into his chest, took out two money pouches, and threw them at Wei Yanho.

‘How cunning.’

Normally, no one knows about that money, but he knew. It was terrifying.

“You will really be punished.”

“Not your problem.”

“You’ll go to hell.”

“That’s better than being a beggar now, so don’t worry.”

Jangil dropped his shoulders, having gained nothing. Wei Yanho threw the two money pouches into the box and closed it.

“Thank you.”

He even said goodbye politely. The owners of the money thought that they had only changed thieves, but it was better than Jangil keeping the money.

“You should have given me the money directly. Things got complicated. Tsk tsk.”

When Wei Yanho looked at Jangil with disdain, Jangil stood up.

“…Then, I’m leaving.”

“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to eat?”

“I don’t have time. I must report.”

“Report?”

When Wei Yanho looked with curiosity, Jangil hesitated.

‘I want to annoy him.’

He wanted to pique his curiosity and then leave without telling him anything, but Wei Yanho wasn’t someone who would sacrifice his laziness for curiosity. He would simply say, “Ah, yes.”

Jangil felt sad realizing that he couldn’t annoy Wei Yanho.

“Better to die than suffer.”

“What?”

“…I told you before. There are suspicious types approaching.”

“Did you say that?”

Jangil smiled.

‘I don’t need to be careful with him.’

He’ll forget it anyway.

“Isn’t it dangerous?”

Jangil scoffed.

“Where do you think we are?”

“Mount Hua.”

“Yes, Mount Hua. One of the three most powerful clans. The best warriors from each sect and clan are here, how could it be dangerous?”

“Since they know we’re here, they must have a plan.”

“Are plans made only with wishes?”

Jangil, who still didn’t have a plan for Wei Yanho, knew it wasn’t easy. If one could make plans only with information, there would be nothing difficult in the world.

“Even strategies have their limits.”

“But there may be a Master of Divine Abilities.”

Jangil looked at Wei Yanho with disdain.

“Even Zhuge Liang couldn’t defeat Wei.”

“I understand.”

“And they don’t seem to be very united. There aren’t many… they are alert, but I don’t know their objective.”

“Ah, yes.”

Wei Yanho had already lost interest.

“Tsk.”

Jangil sighed looking at Wei Yanho.

‘I should pay attention to him.’

Wei Yanho will have a great influence on the martial world. After winning this tournament, he will become the best future leader, and considering his strength, he will be among the best warriors in ten years.

So, in ten years, people will look for Wei Yanho when there are problems…

‘Will he be okay?’

Jangil’s eyes trembled.

Thinking that Wei Yanho would decide the fate of the martial world, he started to get a headache.

Besides his laziness, Wei Yanho wouldn’t suffer any damage, and he would always get something…

Jangil thought that the best warrior in the world was someone who sacrificed gain for justice, and Wei Yanho didn’t seem to be like that.

“What will happen?”

“What?”

“…Nothing. Yes, eat a lot.”

“Yes.”

Jangil, who was leaving the room, looked at Wei Yanho.

Ak Seohui and Ho Cheolsan were approaching Wei Yanho.

‘It’s strange that he’s popular.’

Wei Yanho had a bad reputation, but people approached him. His companions were there, and he had a bad relationship with the younger generation.

He doesn’t leave a good impression, but he creates connections with people. That’s terrifying.

‘Maybe that’s the quality of a hero.’

Jangil left shaking his head.

The tournament was coming to an end.

After many duels, only a few participants remained.

Tournaments are usually more exciting at the end, but this tournament was becoming quieter.

And the reason was the person on the battlefield.

“I surrender!”

Song Hyeon, also known previously as Song Hyung, shouted with all his might.

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho tilted his head.

“I just came up.”

“I surrender! I surrender! Song Hyeon of Wudang admits that he is no match for Wei Yanho!”

“Huh?”

The judge waved his hand.

“Go down, go down.”

“Yes!”

Song Hyeon stepped down from the battlefield with relief.

“Is it over?”

The judge nodded.

“Since he surrendered, it’s inevitable. Wei Yanho of the Wei family wins.”

“Then why didn’t he surrender earlier?! I had to come all the way here!”

Wei Yanho complained as he stepped down from the battlefield, but no one insulted him.

“Are there eight left?”

“Yes. There are three duels left.”

“So, normally, there would be a discussion about who will win.”

“……Who do you think will win?”

“Wei Yanho.”

“I think so too. So there’s no discussion.”

“…Ah.”

Having such an overwhelming winning candidate was a disadvantage for the tournament. That’s why, despite being a great tournament, it wasn’t so exciting.

But there are always minority opinions.

“Don’t you think so?”
