Chapter 89: The Lazy Man Makes a Promise (3)
"no way!"
Wi Jeong-han suddenly came to his senses at Wi Yeon-ho's irritated voice.
'What did I just see?'
He couldn't explain it in words. No, he couldn't even remember what he'd just seen. It felt like he'd seen something incredible… … It was something he'd never seen or heard before, so he couldn't put it into words.
“……What did you do?”
“I failed.”
"huh?"
“You said it failed.”
A look of disappointment appeared on Wei Yanhu's face.
'Failure? Failure?'
that is?
Wi Jeong-han looked at Wi Yeon-ho with eyes as if he were looking at a monster.
'What kind of guy is this?'
Everything he'd worried about up until now felt pathetic. Wei Yanhu had already surpassed his expectations by a wide margin. Even though Wi Jeonghan knew Wei Yanhu was inhuman, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
It felt strange that this kind of person could eat and sleep like a normal person.
“What, what did you try to do and fail?”
“What is it? It’s a sword.”
"knife?"
"Well, I don't know how to describe it. I just swing my sword. But I guess I just wanted to do all those different swings at once."
“Multiple knife skills at once?”
"Yes. But it's not easy. I thought Master would do it in one go. It's strange."
“…….”
Wi Jeong-han was left speechless.
I don't understand a single thing from beginning to end.
The only thing I understand is… … .
“I don’t know what you mean, but that idea is really like you.”
"yes?"
“Are you saying you don’t want to do it twice and want to finish it in one go? Because it’s annoying?”
“……Huh? Is that how it is?”
Wei Yanho's face became grave. It was a question of whether it had started out that way and ended up that way, or whether his inherent reluctance to waste energy, even if it meant dying, had led him here.
“Well, it will happen someday.”
“……Are you saying you can complete this?”
"I don't know. Since no one has gone before me. If there were a master, I think he would be able to easily determine whether this is acceptable or not… But I'm not a master."
“So you’re saying that you created this for yourself?”
“Uh. That’s a bit ambiguous too.”
Wei Yanho scratched his head.
This was certainly an ambiguous case. He saw this sword in Baek Muhan. The problem was that this Baek Muhan was the Baek Muhan who appeared in his dream.
Baek Muhan's thoughts were extinguished. All that remained was his internal energy. In other words, the Baek Muhan who appeared in the dream was not the real Baek Muhan, but a Baek Muhan created by Wi Yeon-ho.
Then, can we say that this sword was created by Wei Yanhu?
'I feel a bit uneasy about that.'
I knew that Baek Muhan wasn't the real Baek Muhan, but it was also ambiguous to say that he was Wei Yanho. It was likely a simple fantasy materialized from Wei Yanho's subconscious, wondering, "Couldn't my master wield a sword like this?"
“……Hey, what does that matter?”
"huh?"
"No. Well, it doesn't really matter who created it. I mean, I have a general idea of a complete Martial Arts, but I'm not sure if it will take that form when it's completed."
I doubt if it even has a form.
Wi Jeong-han shook his head as if he didn't understand at all.
“Anyway, it’s a new kind of martial arts.”
“That’s how it is.”
“Be careful.”
"yes?"
"Creating a non-existent ignorance is an incredibly difficult and dangerous undertaking. It's one of the fastest paths to obsession."
“It’s okay. I’m not the kind of person who knocks on a stone bridge and then crosses it. I’m the kind of person who builds a new bridge and then crosses it.”
“That’s fortunate, then.”
Wi Jeong-han smiled a bit bitterly.
He felt he had nothing to offer Wei Yanhuo when it came to martial arts. No matter how much he had experienced and seen, the gap between them was simply too great in this area.
Just because you've been in the palace for a long time doesn't mean you can't give advice to the emperor.
“Okay. You figure that out. So what are you going to do?”
“Huh? What?”
“Didn’t you hear? The political alliance called you.”
"why?"
“I don’t really know why.”
"hmm……."
Wi Yeon-ho scratched the ball.

“Well, I guess I should go.”
"hmm?"
“Why? Don’t I have to go?”
“No… I have to go. I have to go. It’s just that you said you’d go so readily.”
Wei Yanho puffed out his cheeks.
“What are you going to say even if I say I’m going! What are you going to say even if I say I’m not going!”
"……sorry."
Wi Yeon-ho chuckled.
"It's not strange. Things have gotten this far, so we can't afford to be lazy. And no matter how hard we think, we won't be able to come up with a solution. If that beggar were to use his brain, he'd probably come up with an answer, but he doesn't seem to be in his right mind."
“Who is crazy!”
“I said you weren’t in your right mind.”
“That’s the sound!”
“Words are different in ‘eo’ and ‘ah’.”
Jang Il, who was about to have a seizure, was pushed away by Peng Do-geuk. If there was one thing Wi Yeon-ho and Jang Il had in common, it was that they couldn't distinguish between time and place.
Wi Yeon-ho clicked his tongue as he watched Jang-il being dragged away.
“I don’t know why he’s so clueless.”
“Son.”
"yes?"
“Other people may say that, but you shouldn’t say that.”
"……yes."
Wi Yeon-ho, who had been seriously persecuted, looked gloomy.
“Anyway, I think I need some advice, because as you know, I’m not that smart.”
"yes."
“And my father, who had to worry about it with me, didn’t have a very neat head either.”
“What, Inma?”
“That’s true.”
“Do you have any evidence?”
“I am my father’s child.”
“……I admit it.”
Wi Jeong-han had no choice but to bow his head. The inescapable shackles of blood were tormenting him.
“Anyway, since it’s a head that’s meant to be used, I should use it.”
"huh?"
“I’m talking about the new investigation.”
"……ah!"
“The smartest person in the world has called me to personally resolve this situation, so why not go?”
“……I don’t think that’s the kind of head you’d use like that?”
“Hey, if you don’t use your head, it’ll get worse. So you have to use it.”
“Isn’t that your decision?”
“It’s a society where we help each other.”
“You have no intention of helping.”
“Whose side is your father on?”
“……Of course I’m on your side.”
Emotionally, I want to support the new investigation.
“Let’s go.”
“Right, right?”
“The sooner the better. And….”
Wei Yanho turned his head and looked into the distance. Wei Jeonghan seemed to know where he was looking. It was in the direction Wei Yanho had left, beyond where the Demonic Cult was.
"It'll only get harder as time goes on. It's better to bring him here sooner rather than later, before he starts to think about this and that."
“Is nagging really that good?”
“I hate nagging, but…….”
Wi Yeon-ho smiled faintly.
“Because even if you don’t like it, you can’t help but like it, that’s what brothers are for.”
***
The new detective had a very absurd expression on his face.
'Is this something that can be said so easily?'
The wealthy man sitting across from him, Wei Yanho, was showing off his guts with a look that literally said, "I want you to cut my stomach."
'No, and you shouldn't be so confident.'
Shin Gi-su was a man who lacked confidence in his literacy. Or, to be precise, his talent for literacy was comparable to or even superior to others, but his intellect was dozens of times more brilliant.
The head that had been so proud of such a new investigation was now being mixed up at will.
I heard such incredible words so calmly that I couldn't think of anything.
'These guys are always the problem!'
The mere thought of the four words "Guangdongwei" in his head, which had always maintained a calm demeanor, caused problems. It was as if a foreign substance had entered a spinning wheel that was already turning smoothly.
“That, that is, the coral?”
"yes."
"son?"
"yes."
“…….”
Don't answer that as if it's so obvious, you crazy bastard! What the hell have you done!
The new detective grabbed his head.
“This bastard is like a retard.”
Yes, I was wrong from the beginning.
I used to think it was strange that someone like Wi Jeong-han would give birth to a son like Wi Yeon-ho, but it wasn't at all surprising. It turned out that Wi Jeong-han was several times more of a rascal than Wi Yeon-ho.
what?
The son of the great hemp?
What do you mean by that?
Raise it?
“You should raise a tiger instead, you crazy bastard! Aaaah!”
The new investigator suddenly rose from his seat, grabbed the inkstone on the table, and hurled it at Wi Jeong-han with all his might. The throw was so sincere that a deafening crackling sound echoed throughout the room.
Still, Wi Yeon-ho, saying it was his father, reached out and grabbed the inkstone thrown by Shin Gi-su, placing it on the floor.
“Say it, say it!”
"Do you think I'm talking nonsense? Hey, you crazy bastard! Is Guangdong Wei an orphanage? A zoo? You're raising the children of the Great Demon Emperor because you have nothing else to raise?"
“Well, then what should I do?”
Looking at Wi Jeong-han, who was calmly asking questions, Shin Gi-su grabbed the back of his neck.
“Ugh, ugh.”
My blood pressure suddenly spiked, my neck stiffened, and my vision went white.
At that moment, Wei Yanhu clicked his tongue and said.
“Calm down, Grandpa. You’re old.”
'That, that dog… … .'
The new investigator slumped to the ground. The thought that if he'd been even slightly more excited, he'd be facing the King of Hell by now sent shivers down his spine.
'If you want to live long, you shouldn't deal with these guys.'
I felt a strong urge to retreat to a faraway place where those bastards couldn't find me once this was over. Otherwise, I'd surely die in exile.
“So you took him away?”
"yes."
"so……."
For the first time in his life, Shin Gi-su was experiencing the feeling of being "speechless." Had he ever felt so lost, unable to find the words?
Looking at Wi Jeong-han, who was tearing his stomach open with an expression that said, "What can I do now that it's come to this?" and Wi Yeon-ho, who was throwing a tantrum with a face that said, "Why are you wasting time like this when you can just get to the point and get this over with?", I was so absurd and frustrated that I almost cried.
'Those rotten bastards.'
Look at those guys who brought this situation to this point and show no sign of reflection.
"The situation is like this, and you're saying you're standing stiffly against it? These guys deserve to be beaten to death."
“Hey, no.”
Wi Yeon-ho said firmly.
"hmm?"
Wi Yeon-ho answered with a stern face.
"I didn't know. Since I was unaware of what happened, I can say I'm innocent. So if you're going to punish me or beat me to death, then it's up to my father."
“…….”
“Because the law requires that judgments be accurate, no matter when or what the situation.”
Looking at Wi Yeon-ho speaking with a big smile, Shin Gi-su also ended up laughing back.
Then he shouted.
“Is there anyone there? Take these guys out right now and behead them!”
“Hey! Calm down!”
“Kill me! Kill me!”
No matter what the situation, Wei Yanho was Wei Yanho.
