Chapter 89: The Lazy Man Makes a Promise (4)
Boom! Boom!
The new detective drank the ice water in front of him in one gulp.
“One more drink!”
As soon as the new investigator finished speaking, Wi Jeong-han quickly grabbed the kettle from the table and filled his cup. Only after downing three cups of the chilling ice water did his boiling stomach feel somewhat calmed.
“Ugh.”
The mysterious detective groaned as he roughly put down his glass.
'Those damn bastards.'
The new detective's eyes turned to the two men sitting in front of him.
The disgusting guy who didn't know what to do and the damn guy who was screaming 'what do you want me to do' with his whole body were scratching at his insides.
Looking back, it was when those guys invaded Maeng that the once peaceful world of martial arts began to turn into a mess. Even if it wasn't planned by them, but rather a series of coincidences, how could anyone possibly be so rational as to accept it?
I felt like cutting off those two guys' heads to get rid of their evil.
but…….
'You need to calm down.'
As a human investigator, it's entirely possible to think like this, but he's not an individual. He must always remember to be a soldier of the Jeongmu Alliance.
"so……."
The new detective coughed loudly.
It was to somehow organize this confused mind.
“So what do you want me to do?”
Unlike Wi Jeong-han, who was feeling embarrassed, Wi Yeon-ho answered calmly.
“I want you to solve it.”
"solve?"
"yes."
"……what?"
What exactly do you want me to solve in this situation? No, is this even a problem that can be solved in the first place?
“Hey, why are you spinning around like that? It’ll be easier if you just pretend.”
“I think I’d feel better if I just cut off your balls.”
“Hey, that’s just making things worse.”
Wi Yeon-ho waved his hand and said.
“It’s simple. Just find a way to rescue my brother.”
"huh?"
“There’s a way to save my brother.”
“Oh, I see.”
Yeah, that's what you were asking. That… … .
“What, you crazy bastard?”
The investigator threw the glass of water he was holding with all his might. However, Wi Yeon-ho calmly caught it, drank the remaining water, and gave a thumbs-up.
"thanks."
“Ugh…….”
Wi Jeong-han rushed towards the fallen detective, who was holding the back of his neck.
“Sergeant! Sergeant! Are you alright?”
“Ugh.”
The new investigator's eyes were bloodshot. He really wanted to grind these damned bastards to death. It was just a shame he couldn't.
Detective Shin Ki-su, who had barely managed to calm down and sit back down, sighed repeatedly.
'Even when I was surrounded by a hundred demonic spirits on my own, I didn't feel this way.'
Only then could I laugh it off, thinking, "What's the big deal if I die alone?" But this wasn't even that kind of problem. It was so serious that I didn't even know where to begin.
“……Hey, you crazy bastard! What are you going to do…….”
"sorry."
As I watched Wi Jeong-han bow his head, a strange feeling of sadness welled up in my chest.
'This idiot.'
Why did you do something like that?
What should I do?
And to raise the child of none other than the Great Emperor of Hemp.
And he did it in secret, without anyone knowing. If this fact were to become known, the Guangdong Wei family would not be able to avoid extinction.
“How many people know this fact now?”
“……There aren’t many. It’s just the group that went with my family.”
“We’re in a group…….”
Shin Gi-su sighed deeply again as he recalled the faces of those who had come with Wi Jeong-han.
“Even if others are like that, it’s quite burdensome that Sogeulgae knows about this fact…….”
“Should I kill you?”
“You shut your mouth! You mouth!”
Wi Yeon-ho crouched down in sullen response to the new detective's shouting, his neck bloodshot.
“I was just talking realistically.”
“Ugh…….”
Being weak is a sin.

If he possessed the invincible power of a martial artist, he would have reduced Wei Yanhu to a bloody pulp right now, without question. It was just a shame that he couldn't.
“This is a matter that should not be made known to the outside world.”
"……yes."
Wi Jeong-han nodded quietly.
Isn't it because he knows this fact that he's kept it a secret? His raising of the coral is a personal matter. But no one will understand.
That was how strong the resistance against the Demonic Cult was among the martial artists. And… … .
'Because it's the Great Hemp.'
Even though I knew that the Great Demon Emperor was another name for the Red Eyed Demon, the name "Great Demon Emperor" still felt repulsive. The suffering he had inflicted on the martial world was equally profound.
It wasn't simply a symbolic meaning of leading the Demonic Cult and invading the martial world.
How many people have died at the hands of the Great Demon Emperor, who appeared with a black and red current surrounding his entire body? In today's martial arts world, countless people tremble at the mere mention of the Great Demon Emperor.
Those who lost their parents, siblings, and children to the Great Demon King still live, cursing his name. What would happen if they were to discover that the Great Demon King's son was alive? Thousands would surely rush at him, eyes burning with the intent to tear anyone apart.
No sect could withstand their wrath. Even the Shaolin couldn't handle the enraged crowd. But the Guangdong Wei family?
'This is not a problem that will end with the extinction of the clan.'
Wi Jeong-han's face darkened.
This is the fact that I wanted to hide until the end.
"I'd love to spend all day swearing, but that won't solve the problem. We need to find a rational solution…"
The new investigation whetted my appetite.
“Did you say you were going to find the coral?”
"yes."
The answer came from Wei Yanho's mouth, not Wei Zhenghan's.
“Do you think that’s possible?”
"no."
"……however?"
Wi Yeon-ho said as if he was frustrated.
"Hey, Master. Why are you doing this? We can't come up with a solution on our own, so we came here to ask you, Master."
Ugh.
This thin sound resonated strongly in the quiet room.
“Is this not good?”
“Ugh…….”
The new detective glared at Wi Jeong-han with bloodshot eyes.
“……Why me?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
"sorry."
Wi Jeong-han bowed his head deeply. At least in terms of home education, he was someone no one could raise their head to.
“So you want me to come up with a way to get Weichan out of the Demonic Cult?”
"yes."
“In the Demonic Cult?”
"yes!"
“That coral?”
"yes!"
The new detective stared blankly at the ceiling.
'I should retire.'
What glory are you hoping to gain by living like this? If you had retired long ago, you could have lived out your later years in peace without having to meet that guy.
At this point, I felt sad rather than angry.
"Hey, you punk! Taking someone out of the Demonic Cult is no easy feat, but you're telling me to take not just anyone, but someone of the Great Demon Emperor's bloodline? Okay, let's say you take them! How are you going to handle the aftermath? Those filthy Demonic Cult bastards are probably holding it together well. They're going to come rushing in at any moment, so how are you going to handle it then?"
“I’ll think about the rest later.”
"what?"
“Actually, you and other people worry about the consequences and proceed with the work, but has there ever been a time when the consequences turned out the way you wanted?”
“…….”
It's a little off, usually.
“Even if I consider all the circumstances, it’s meaningless.”
“Why?”
“They’ll think the same way.”
“……What kind of nonsense is that?”
"My master said that it's often better to just clear your head and rush ahead rather than wasting time on futile thoughts. He said that while it's important to have a precise and perfect plan, it's even more important to avoid putting it into practice."
The new detective smiled softly.
One thing is certain.
No matter how strong Wei Yanhu becomes, he should never be given a high-ranking position. He is the kind of person who will ruin the martial world.
“It’s impossible.”
Wei Yanho's eyes sank slightly.
“Then there is nothing more to say.”
As Wi Yeon-ho got up from his seat, Shin Gi-su spoke in a heavy tone.
“Sit down.”
“I have nothing more to say.”
“I have something to say.”
“There’s no reason to listen.”
"this guy!"
A strong energy emanated from the new investigator's body.
"How can this be something that only your family and you can think about? The fate of the world of martial arts is at stake."
“Yes.”
“But how can you be so frivolous?”
“Why should I worry about Kang-ho’s fate?”
“…….”
The new investigator was speechless.
"I don't really care about the fate of the martial world. I've never thought that just because I've mastered martial arts, I have to fight for it. I learned martial arts to make myself comfortable. Even though it was forced, after all."
Wi Yeon-ho continued to shoot at Shin Gi-su, who was trying to refute something, while covering his mouth.
“What’s wrong with me rescuing my brother?”
“……Of course it’s a problem. That in itself could provoke the Demonic Cult.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
"You rascal! Just provoking the Demonic Cult can cause countless bloodsheds. You, who have never experienced war, have no idea how much a single war can change the fate of so many!"
“It’s something you have to experience at least once.”
“That’s true, though.”
"If they don't attack us just because we're holding back, they'll do it. But holding back now just delays things for a little while."
"Of course. But why don't you understand that that time could be invaluable to someone?"
“Our help is important to you too, hyung.”
The new investigator kept his mouth shut.
Wi Yeon-ho looked at the new investigator quietly and then opened his mouth.
"Honestly, I don't really understand the concept of negotiation. I don't even understand why I should work for others. But isn't it the Political Alliance that has been emphasizing it?"
“…….”
"I don't really know what an agreement is, but if it means you don't have to keep it when the situation is difficult… then that agreement is really shallow. It's something I only have to keep if it doesn't harm me."
“Hey you!”
The new detective suddenly jumped up from his seat.
His snow-white beard trembled. His words were an insult not only to the new investigator, but to the entire Jeongmu Alliance.
But despite being the brunt of Shin Gi-su's wrath, Wi Yeon-ho's eyes remained extremely cold.
“I like things like negotiations.”
Wi Yeon-ho stood up from his seat.
"But I know the right thing to do. The right thing I know is that it's not human to talk about Kang-ho and then walk away when your brother is captured."
Wi Yeon-ho turned and walked outside. Shin Gi-su's eyes, watching him, wavered.
“……I’m sorry, sir.”
“Phew.”
The new detective sat down on his seat.
“You are reckless and childish.”
“I’m still at an age where I’m full of energy…….”
“But it’s straight.”
The new detective's face was filled with regret.
“It’s the right thing to do, the right thing to do…….”
That one word weighed heavily on Shin Gi-su.
