Chapter 138: Welcome the Lazy Man (1)

“So, you’re saying that if it’s not someone like your teacher, then no one can do this?”

“That’s correct.”

"then……."

The new detective ended up asking what he didn't want to ask.

“What will happen to you?”

"yes?"

“Didn’t you say that the energy inside you was gathered like a river?”

“Yes.”

“If I can’t absorb it in the end, doesn’t that mean I have to continue living in this ugly state?”

Wi Yeon-ho answered with a face full of discontent.

“I thought it was kind of cute…….”

“Don’t say anything that will make you get struck by lightning.”

“Tch.”

Wi Yeon-ho shrugged his shoulders… no, he flinched.

"Absorption is impossible, but that doesn't mean there's no other way. You can just spit it out."

“Spit it out?”

"It's like throwing up something you can't digest. Just let it out."

"okay?"

The new investigator tilted his head.

“Then why didn’t you send him away earlier and why are you acting like that?”

“……Military grandfather.”

"huh?"

“Grandpa, can I throw money on the street that I can’t spend?”

“…….”

I can't do it.

A human being can't do that. If you give to others, you give to them. You can't throw money on the street.

“I want to send it out too. Who likes to roll around?”

“I think you’ll like it?”

“Actually, that’s kind of true.”

Wi Yeon-ho smiled awkwardly. The stone in Shin Gi-su's chest grew slightly larger.

“Anyway, I feel it’s such a shame to let this go, from a human perspective…….”

Although he was a strange investigator who did not want to understand the seed called Wi Yeon-ho, he completely agreed with these words of Wi Yeon-ho.

'If you're human, you can't be kicked out.'

Elixir?

What is an elixir?

With the amount of energy currently contained within this body, there's more than enough to create a hundred more Greater Circles. And that's just the bare minimum. Considering the sheer amount of energy, it might even be possible to create a thousand.

But you're throwing it away?

What would happen if I were to trample down a hundred Great Rings before the eyes of Shaolin Jangmun? That would be the day Shaolin would be swept up in a world of slaughter. Jangmun might go mad and start dancing with his sword.

That's fortunate.

The new investigator fully understood Wi Yeon-ho's feelings. Isn't obsession with history a common trait among all warriors?

“I completely understand how you feel, but will holding on to it make any difference?”

“I’m digesting it little by little.”

“…….”

Wi Yeon-ho had a proud face.

“What is this? Even if a person has eaten more than they can eat, if they eat little by little, they will still be full, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

"Just as you can eat anything if you have the will to eat it, your stamina will increase, even if only little by little, if you have the will to digest it. That's why I'm digesting it little by little right now."

“So how long does it take to digest all of that?”

“If you try hard to absorb it somehow until you die…….”

“……What if I try?”

“Can I do one thing? That seems a bit excessive, but I think I can absorb about a penny or so….”

“Hey, you rotten bastard!”

The new investigator kicked Wei Yanho with a bang! Wei Yanho flew like a ball, bounced against the wall, and then returned to the bed.

“What if it explodes?”

“I said it wouldn’t explode!”

“You never know!”

“Ugh.”

The new detective scratched his head.

What the hell is this?

He is a new detective.

He's the busiest man in the world, leading the political alliance. And yet, that same mysterious investigator is grabbing a child and harassing him.

How much would the world laugh if they saw this?

'If only this guy were weaker, I'd feel better!'

It's true that thanks to Wei Yanho, the world of martial arts was able to overcome a crisis. Of course, that crisis isn't over yet, but at least it put out the fire that was already burning.

It was truly a great achievement to have accomplished something like that.

Even if Kwon Geuk were alive, he wouldn't have been able to replace Wei Yanhao. Objectively and dispassionately, Wei Yanhao is the most crucial force in the Jeongwu Alliance, irreplaceable by anyone in the martial arts world.

But why is this core power like this? Why! Why!

“Even the heavens are indifferent…….”

The new detective sighed deeply.

And that moment.

“Yeonho, eat!”

The door swung open and Wi Jeong-han came in. He was carrying a large table in his arms.

“…….”

“…….”

Shin Gi-su and Wi Jeong-han, whose eyes met, looked at each other in silence for a while.

“……What is that?”

“It’s rice.”

“Now, does the father even bring food to his child?”

“……As you can see.”

Wi Jeong-han pointed to Wi Yeon-ho with a nod.

Detective Shin Gi-su sighed as he glanced at Wi Yeon-ho.

“Yeah, it’ll be hard to get to the restaurant.”

“Are you going?”

"……then?"

“Honestly, it’s my child, but I’m a little embarrassed…….”

The new investigation team understood.

Frankly, it's hard to bring that guy up as your own child. Things were a little better back then, when he was still a decent human, but now he just doesn't look like he'd be brought out in front of anyone.

“Don’t make a fuss, you idiot.”

“I will do that from now on.”

The new investigator didn't want to be here any longer. So he brought up the most reasonable story he could.

"Anyway, the situation isn't so good. I'm planning to hold a general meeting, so please attend."

“Me too?”

“Then who else would attend besides you? Bring that guy too.”

“……Okay, I understand.”

Detective Shin Ki-su, who was walking out with a deep sigh, stopped walking, looked back, and opened his mouth.

“But I have a question. How do you eat in that state…?”

The new detective kept his mouth shut.

He saw it clearly. The chicken leg on the table was flying through the air and being sucked into Wei Yanho's mouth.

"……to?"

Detective Shin Gi-su smiled warmly at Wi Yeon-ho, who tilted his head in confusion. Then he turned and walked out.

'Let's forget it.'

Let's erase it from our memories.

I'm saying that there are people in the world who eat rice with a knife.

What's the use of remembering it? It'll just make you feel worse.

The new investigator who came outside looked up at the sky. Gazing at the blue sky, what was he feeling? What should he say?

'It's so clear.'

Damn it.

'Why can't I escape?'

The new detective was in deep trouble.

Of course, that's just the way the world works. Even if there's something you don't want to see, you can't always turn your head the other way. If you have work to do, sometimes you have to see things you don't want to see.

But isn't it natural for humans to want to reject the obvious?

Degul.

It's annoying.

The new detective coughed once and opened his mouth.

“In the midst of a busy construction project…….”

Degul.

“First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has gathered here…….”

Degul.

“Kaaaah! Someone grab that!”

As the new investigator spewed fire, Jang Il and Wi Jeong-han rushed in and picked up Wi Yeon-ho, who kept rolling backwards.

Everyone gathered there had their faces distorted as they watched the sight.

'What are you doing?'

'That guy is Wi Yeon-ho?'

'To be saved by a guy like that.'

The atmosphere was becoming somewhat gloomy.

Although discontent is growing, it cannot be expressed.

First, Wei Yanhu has made tremendous contributions to the martial arts world. Considering his contributions, even if he were to lie down and start plucking chickens, the leaders of each faction would be right there, praising him.

Second, Wei Yanhu's appearance was strange, but… that was all. He didn't want to appear like that, and it was impossible to ban him from the meeting just because he looked ugly.

And one more important thing.

Namgung Jo-wi opened his mouth and then closed it.

He glanced at the others.

It's strange.

It was a situation that warranted a sharp remark, but no one, except for Shin Gi-su, pointed out Wi Yeon-ho.

'Why doesn't anyone say anything?'

It was a bit baffling. Who were these people gathered here? They were the leaders of the great factions that currently dominate the martial world.

Those who were at the center of the political alliance, and even those with high influence among those who had no connection to the political alliance, were all gathered here.

It would be no exaggeration to say that the most important and high-ranking figures in the current martial arts world were gathered here. Yet, even in this place, not a single voice of rebuke was raised against Wei Yanhu.

'Jang Moon-in?'

Namgung Jo-wi glanced up and glanced at Gongmu, the head of the Shaolin abbot. Of these, aside from the Shingi Investigator, the one with the most eloquence was, without a doubt, Gongmu, the head of the Shaolin abbot.

But the official seemed to have no intention of reprimanding Wi Yeon-ho.

No, it wasn't just that he wasn't thinking, he was completely detached from the situation itself. Just close your eyes and look at him, lost in thought.

Normally, I would have praised him for his superior qualities, but now he just seemed to be backing away.

'Then what about the shaman?'

Namgung Jo-wi turned his gaze to Song Hyeon and opened his mouth slightly.

Song Hyun's gaze was fixed outside the window. His determined expression conveyed a determination: "I will not interfere with this matter, even if it means dying. You guys figure it out yourselves."

Namgung Jo-wi frowned slightly.

'This is it.'

I didn't like the fact that the so-called adults of Kangho were just watching this kind of scene with their mouths shut.

Then Namgung Jo-wi has to say something… … .

“Ugh.”

A slightly hoarse sound escaped Namgung Jo-wi's mouth.

This is also burdensome.

Namgung Jo-wi was willing to say something, no matter whoever that bastard was. As long as it wasn't Wi Yeon-ho.

However, even the world's greatest Namgung Jo-wi felt uneasy about persecuting Wei Yan-ho, of all people.

‘They say it’s Torai… … .’

I've never heard a single positive word come out of someone who's experienced Wei Yanhu. Everyone immediately scowls and shakes their head at the mention of Wei Yanhu.

'And he's also incredibly strong.'

Even if his personality is a mess, if I can just get over it, there won't be a problem, but even Namgung Jo-wi can't find an answer for that guy.

'You broke the Cheonryu Sword, right?'

And now, he has achieved such a feat that breaking the Heavenly Sword seems like nothing.

He had a foul personality and was as strong as a gangster. It was hard to believe that anyone in the current martial arts world could possibly criticize Wei Yanhu.

“Why don’t you get up right now, Inma?”

“That doesn’t work out as well as you want?”

"How can someone who eats rice with a slurry like that say that's not possible? Even if you try to float in the air during a meeting, you'll still be able to do that!"

“Hey!”

Wi Yeon-ho suddenly sat up.

'That's right.'

He was definitely no ordinary guy. What kind of place was this, lying there?

It was absurd, but Shin Gi-su and Wi Yeon-ho's group didn't seem particularly surprised. So that means he's just like that…

'It's a mess.'

Namgung Jo-wi realized that an unprecedented phenomenon had appeared in the history of martial arts.

The new detective took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

“I have gathered you all here to discuss future matters.”
