Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 262

Chapter 262: The Lazy Receives Acclaim (2)

“What is all this noise?”

Wei Yanho grunted and stirred under the covers.

What a great day.

It was a moment free from everything that had been bothering him. The pressure of having to win had been resolved with the thought: “I am like this.”

The tournament still had the semi-finals and the final, but Wei Yanho no longer had anything to do. He had given a good lesson to the old man who had attacked him, and his father had let him do whatever he wanted.

So he could relax and enjoy the day. He wouldn’t have to listen to the complaints of Wei Suryun, who would wake him up for the fight, nor the complaints of Wei Jeonghan, who would scold him for embarrassing the family.

But who dares to interrupt this precious moment?

Wei Yanho was worried.

He wanted to run out and shout at them, “Those who interrupt my rest must die!”, but…

‘I am Lazy.’

Wei Yanho curled up under the covers. It didn’t matter what happened outside, as long as he was isolated.

“The outside world is dangerous.”

Wei Yanho had learned early on how to live safely in a difficult world.

But the world does not always work as one wants.

Knock knock knock.

Wei Yanho frowned at the sound of the knocks on the door.

‘What is it now?’

No one should come looking for him today.

It was almost time to eat, but he had already said that he would not eat today. Would there be anyone loyal enough to come and feed him?

The knocks on the door worried him even more.

If it were Wei Jeonghan or Wei Suryun, they would have knocked on the door harder, trying to wake him up.

Wei Sanho?

Wei Sanho would knock on the door gently and then enter without hesitation.

So it wasn’t his family. Would there be anyone else who would visit him?

Wei Yanho listened carefully.

‘What is it?’

He noticed some hesitation. Wei Yanho held his breath.

Wei Yanho preferred that people leave quietly if he didn’t know who it was.

In order to rest more, he had to…

“Excuse me, Mr. Wei.”

Huh?

It was a familiar but unknown voice.

He had definitely heard it before, but…

‘Since I don’t remember, it must not be important.’

Wei Yanho didn’t remember many people, but if he thought, “I must remember this guy,” he did. Since he didn’t remember her, it must be a subordinate.

“I am Ho Cheolsan.”

“…Huh?”

Who was Ho Cheolsan?

Wei Yanho frowned.

‘Ah!’

He was his brother’s companion and Jangil.

Why was he here?

*Creak*.

The door opened slowly.

Wei Yanho was hesitant.

Should he answer or not?

Since he had already entered, he wouldn’t leave, and that made Wei Yanho stick his head out of the blanket.

“What do you want?”

Ho Cheolsan flinched at Wei Yanho’s irritated question.

Ho Cheolsan knew how grumpy and violent Wei Yanho was.

Not long ago, Wei Yanho had fought with him, and his companions had gone flying.

“Excuse me, could you come down for a moment?”

“Is it a bother?”

“…….”

Ho Cheolsan was silent.

He should have thought before speaking. Why does he respond so abruptly?

Although they didn’t have a good relationship, Ho Cheolsan was older than Wei Yanho and was a companion of his brother, Wei Sanho.

‘If I say that, he’ll hit me.’

He even hit the Dark King, so if he mentioned his rank, he would only hear, “My fists are my rank.”

Ho Cheolsan thought quickly and smiled.

At least he can’t hit someone who’s smiling.

“Are you mocking?”

“…No.”

He forgot for a moment that this guy could be sarcastic even while smiling.

“It’s not that, I think you should come down.”

“Why?”

“There are people who want to see you.”

Wei Yanho nodded.

“Tell them I’m sleeping and to come back later.”

“…”

Do you think I’d be here if that were possible? I can’t sleep at night just looking at your face. Don’t you realize how serious the situation is?

He had a lot to say, but Ho Cheolsan knew that almost no one could talk to Wei Yanho anymore.

“Why am I here? Don’t you know?”

“Don’t I know?”

“…We can’t handle it. Mr. Wei is also absent… we need you to fix it.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Fix it?”

“Yes!”

“Me?”

“Ah!”

Ho Cheolsan understood why Wei Yanho kept asking.

Was this the first time someone had asked Wei Yanho to do something?

Not even his family would ask him to do anything.

Asking someone who takes thirty thousand years to clean their room to fix something was strange.

“We’re not asking for much. We just want you to kick out the people who are waiting to see you.”

“…What are you saying?”

Someone is waiting to see him?

Wei Yanho was curious and moved.

‘I am Lazy…’

Curiosity and laziness fought, but laziness won.

“Can’t you just tell them to come up?”

“……There are a lot of people.”

“The room is big.”

“There are more people.”

Wei Yanho frowned.

“Who is here?”

***

Chung Yeon shook his head as he watched Wei Jeonghan run towards the building where Wei Yanho was.

‘How strange.’

The Sword of the Righteous Hero he remembered was not so clumsy. Although people tend to be more lenient with their children, Wei Jeonghan was too lenient.

Everyone knew that the title Sword of the Righteous Hero had not been given to him because he was righteous. It was a sarcastic nickname for someone who was ruthless, both with friends and with enemies.

After obtaining the title, Wei Jeonghan worked hard to be worthy of it, and the title became something positive.

It is not a secret, but the important thing is that Wei Jeonghan was ruthless even with his allies.

He couldn’t understand how he could be so lenient with his son.

‘Also…’

If his two children were problematic, one might say that Wei Jeonghan was not a good father, but Wei Sanho was very good.

If it weren’t for Wei Yanho…

“No, Wei Sanho is not someone who deserves that qualifier.”

Wei Sanho, who would have led the martial world if it weren’t for Wei Yanho. Wei Jeonghan is a good father for having raised Wei Sanho…

“I don’t understand.”

Although there are many siblings who do not look alike, Chung Yeon could not understand how two siblings of the same mother could be so different. As someone who has never had children, perhaps he will never understand.

“Leader, are you there?”

“Hmm…”

Chung Yeon spoke upon hearing a voice.

“Come in.”

Chung Yeon looked at Cheonghyeoja, who was entering.

“I have finished the work you entrusted to me.”

“How was it?”

“They were just thugs.”

“Thugs?”

“Yes.”

Chung Yeon had a confused expression.

“Didn’t you say there were people approaching Mount Hua?”

“Yes. After interrogating them, we discovered that they were subordinates of Nokrim. They said they had been ordered to surround Mount Hua.”

“Nokrim.”

Chung Yeon was worried.

It could be said that all the powers of the world were here. Not all of them, but the attention of the world was here, and there were people from all the powers.

Causing problems here could result in the destruction of a clan.

But Nokrim?

“Isn’t the King of Nokrim crazy enough to cause problems here?”

Although Nokrim is known for its infamy, it is only that, infamy. Bandits are like insects, even if you eliminate them, others will appear the following year.

Bandits who kill innocent civilians must be eliminated, but the bandits of Nokrim know that killing people will shorten their lives, so they only collect tolls.

That is Nokrim’s position in the martial world.

‘Is the King of Nokrim sending bandits here?’

What for?

“I don’t feel good.”

“I also thought there might be another conspiracy, so I captured many. But considering their abilities, it is difficult to think that they are plotting something.”

“Then why is the King of Nokrim sending his subordinates?”

“In my opinion, it is a demonstration of power.”

“Demonstration of power?”

“Yes. This meeting of Mount Hua is a martial arts festival. But Nokrim, despite having its own power, was not invited.”

“Nokrim dared to come here?”

“It seems they were protesting for not having been invited.”

“Hmm…”

Chung Yeon looked out the window with an uncomfortable expression.

‘It makes sense, but…’

He couldn’t understand if the King of Nokrim, whom he knew, would do something so useless.

“Increase surveillance and continue the investigation.”

“Yes, leader.”

“The tournament will end in two days. There must not be any problems.”

“I will remember.”

Chung Yeon sighed as he watched Cheonghyeoja bow.

‘I hope there are no problems.’
