Chapter 97: The Lazy Man Threatens (4)

“Soldier!”

Wooil shouted as he saw Soryeo-gun being led by someone's hand.

When I saw my younger sister for the first time in a year, she looked extremely haggard.

Her bones were bulging, as if she hadn't been eating properly, and she looked stunted for her age. Her eyes, wandering aimlessly, betrayed her anxiety.

Wooil ran forward without realizing it.

I knew I couldn't act rashly now. The situation here was completely controlled by Wei Yanho. Creating variables was wrong.

But that's just a thought in the head.

The moment she saw Soryeogun, her body leaped forward.

The warriors of the Jegal family blocked Woo-il's path as he rushed towards the Soryeo Army.

“Step back.”

"this……."

“I told you to step back.”

The moment she saw those cold eyes, the strength drained from Wooil's shoulders. She couldn't defeat them on her own.

“Soldier!”

The moment he was about to stamp his feet in frustration, Soryeo-gun raised his head.

“……Sister?”

Even if you wear a mask, you can't fool your own blood relatives.

It had been a year since they'd seen each other, but Soryeo seemed to have recognized Wooil's true identity. Tears welled up in Soryeo's eyes.

“Sister!”

“Soldier!”

As the two men approached each other, calling out to each other, Zhuge Zongming's face distorted.

“Can’t you hear me?”

As he spewed out his anger, Soryeo-gun's face suddenly turned terrified. Wooil could only watch Soryeo-gun's reaction with pitiful eyes…

"Well, it's been a while since we've seen each other, so why don't you let me meet up? Don't you have any feelings for me?"

At that moment, a calm voice was heard from behind.

Zhuge Liang turned his head in surprise. Wei Yanhu had already descended from behind him, yawning with his mouth wide open.

“Get out of the way.”

“Oh, no…….”

“Get out of the way.”

“…….”

Zhuge Liang bit his lips and stepped back.

He already knows who the man before him is. No, everyone here probably knows.

Even if you wear a mask, how could you not recognize it?

Although there are countless people in the world, there was only one person in the world who would invade the Zhuge family and show such an attitude.

'What on earth is the elder thinking?'

Why don't you take that guy up to the top of the building and have a conversation with him, even if you kill him right away? Why don't you just send him down here unharmed?

As he is an elder, he must be able to see far away places that he cannot even imagine, but I just couldn't understand it.

Wi Yeon-ho grabbed So Ryeo-gun's hand and pulled him towards Woo-il.

“I brought you.”

"ah……."

Wooil reached out and grabbed Soryeogun's shoulder, pulling him towards him.

Then he pulled Soryeogun into his arms.

“Soldier!”

“Sister!”

Even those unfamiliar with the situation would find the sight of the two sisters reunited a chilling sensation. The desperation emanating from them was palpable.

But here, there was a human being who had no emotions.

"Well, let's meet up later. I don't think you've fully grasped the situation. We're still in enemy territory here."

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”

Wooil suddenly came to his senses and straightened up. But he didn't forget to pull Soryeogun into his arms.

'I was never the type of person to be an informant.'

Wooil knew that he had made too many mistakes.

Why is that?

Why did Wooil, who was considered a promising talent, do such a stupid thing?

Wooil looked at Wi Yeonho quietly.

It's because of that person.

A person with a place to rely on and a person without one cannot be the same. Wei Yanhu became her refuge.

Although, on the outside, he seems like a person who has no faith at all.

Anyway, thanks to Wei Yanhu's intervention, she was able to retrieve her younger brother from the hands of the Zhuge family. This was something she could never have dreamed of on her own. While it's unclear what Wei Yanhu's ulterior motives were, it was clear that she owed him a favor she could never fully repay, even if she spent her entire life doing so.

'If only I could run away now.'

Is this really the right choice?

Wooil looked around with a tense expression. The fighting had paused for a moment thanks to Wei Yanho's majesty, but thanks to this, their surroundings were already surrounded by a solid curtain of humanity.

The Zhuge clan had summoned every available fighter. Even if he were Wei Yanhu, how could he escape from here?

'It's impossible.'

If the Zhuge clan had simply relied on their wits, they wouldn't have dared call themselves "the clan." While they may not have reached the level of other prestigious families, they possessed the military might to call themselves a martial arts family.

Even if there was a problem with not being able to use the formation, if it was a place where one person could be pushed around, it would not have been able to get the name Sega in the first place.

It seemed impossible to escape this siege unless even the Great Demon Emperor returned.

“Okay, then…….”

Wi Yeon-ho looked around and whistled.

"Something feels ominous. It looks like someone's going to come after me with a knife at any moment. Am I seeing something wrong?"

"bouncer."

Zhuge Liang ground his teeth.

It was a statement that could never have been made without openly disrespecting the Zhuge family. If you've been disrespected, isn't it the duty of a warrior to repay it?

"I don't know what led you here, but I suggest you don't even think about returning home in good health. Even if we're from the same faction, there's a limit to how much we can forgive. You might be able to save your life, but don't even think about returning with your limbs intact."

“You speak so frighteningly.”

Wi Yeon-ho chuckled.

“And we’re in the same party? Do you know who I am and say we’re in the same party?”

“This guy will do it till the end!”

Not only Zhuge Liang, but also the faces of those around him were filled with anger.

“Today I will teach you what manners are.”

“Hey, that’s impossible.”

Wi Yeon-ho waved his hand lightly.

"Not only Father, but even Master gave up on that. He said you were never meant to learn manners or be a proper human being, so you should at least learn to fight well. That way, you wouldn't be treated like a cripple wherever you went."

“…….”

Zhuge Liang was speechless and looked at Wei Yanhu.

What kind of master would say something like that? And if he's even worthy of hearing such words from his own master, then how hopeless must he be?

“So, I have to check.”

“What are you talking about?”

"I wonder if you really get treated like a human if you're good at fighting. Honestly, I've never been treated like a human being before. Aside from my father, my mother, and my older brother, no one really treated me like one. So…"

“Sohyeop, if you say more than that…….”

“Oh, I see.”

Wi Yeon-ho scratched the back of his head at Woo-il's dissuasion. Come to think of it, he was hiding his identity…

“You do all sorts of things.”

Zhuge Liang felt that it was pointless to continue talking to Wei Yanhu.

"Elder, please grant me permission. If you so command, I will render this man a cripple and hold his family accountable. Furthermore, I will hold the Jeongmu Alliance accountable."

Zhuge Yu looked at Zhuge Zhongming quietly and then opened his mouth.

“I will step away from this matter.”

"yes?"

Zhuge Zhongming looked up at Zhuge Yu with eyes filled with bewilderment. Zhuge Yu, sitting on the edge of the eaves, spoke in a low voice.

"That's exactly what I mean. I won't interfere with anything from now on. Let him go, or subdue him, as you see fit."

“Okay, Elder!”

Zhuge Liang screamed.

What on earth does that mean? In this situation, the person who should be leading is letting go.

'So, who's next in command?'

As Zhuge Liang was hurriedly trying to find the next person in line, a low voice was heard from behind him.

“Let’s think about it after we’ve calmed down.”

"I don't know what the elder is thinking, but in this situation, there can't be two options. Wouldn't it be right to arrest him first and then discuss his treatment?"

"Actually, the Jeongmu Alliance members are overrated. Even the Sword of the Sword, Wisanho, wasn't defeated in the end. The rumors about Wiyeonho are clearly exaggerated. And even if they weren't, what difference would it make? Even if it were Kwon Geuk, there's no escape from this place."

Those voices gave courage to Zhuge Liang.

'That's not wrong.'

For now, let's consider capturing Wei Yanhu. If he issues orders here, the situation will change. And perhaps, the status of Zhuge Liang, who commanded the operation, could rise sharply.

After finishing his calculations, Zhuge Liang raised his voice.

“This guy right now…….”

“Gwongeuk?”

At that moment, Wei Yanhu opened his mouth.

Perhaps the words that he could not escape even the most extreme ones grated on his ears.

“Wow, these guys… They really don’t understand reality. What’s with the power struggles?”

“…….”

"They say smart gentlemen are useless in real life, and it seems they're right. I think you gentlemen need to take a closer look at reality."

Wei Yanhu turned his head and looked at Zhuge Yu.

I thought I understood why Zhuge Liang had made such a demand. Living among themselves, sharing their opinions on the bottom of the Sacheon River, these noblemen had collectively become frogs in a well.

"I was going to do it roughly, but that won't do. I'm going to tell you what kind of person Kwon Geuk is, so learn properly."

“What are you talking about…….”

Bullfight!

It sounded like a hammer hitting a leather bag full of water.

Refreshing and majestic.

A heavy noise rang out, making the listener feel good.

But no one smiled, because the sound resonated directly from the human body.

It was the sound of Wei Yanhu's regime being locked in Zhuge Liang's reign.

“……Ugh.”

A gasp escaped Zhuge Zongming's lips. But as if this wasn't the end, Wei Yanhu raised his head and smiled bashfully.

“Let’s get started. Let’s see if a bad guy who fights really gets treated like a human being.

Wei Yanhu's superiority was turned back.

Wood thud.

The sound of bones cracking slowly flowed from my spine. Everyone just stared at the scene, as if lost in thought.

Wei Yanhu's right hand, which had been tilted back, quickly shot forward and struck Zhuge Liang with a bamboo stick.

“Kkaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Zhuge Zhongming's body spun like a top and flew forward. Those caught in the aftermath began screaming as they were entangled in Zhuge Zhongming's body.

“Eww!”

“Oh, I’m getting caught! Ugh!”

In an instant, dozens of unmanned personnel were entangled and thrown into the hall.

Urrrrrrrrrr!

The entire building collapsed with a sound like thunder.

Gulp.

Looking at that sight, Jegal Woo swallowed dry saliva.

'I think I made a mistake?'

It was already too late.
