Chapter 384: The Loafer Makes Up His Mind (4)

Gulp! Gulp!

Master of Divine Abilities quickly drank the chilled water.

«Another cup!»

As soon as Master of Divine Abilities finished speaking, Wei Jeonghan filled his cup from the pitcher. After drinking three glasses of chilled water, he felt himself calm down.

«Kgh.»

Master of Divine Abilities set down the cup roughly and groaned.

‘Damn it.’

Master of Divine Abilities’s eyes landed on the two sitting across from him.

The hypocrite who didn’t know what to do and the bastard who was saying «so what» with his entire body were irritating him.

If he remembered correctly, the peace of the martial world had ended when those two barged into the Righteous Martial Alliance. Even if it was a coincidence, how could they be so logical?

He wanted to kill them both to vent his anger.

But…

‘You must calm down.’

It was something that Master of Divine Abilities, as a human, could think, but he couldn’t just be a human. He always had to remember that he was an officer of the Righteous Martial Alliance.

«So…»

Master of Divine Abilities cleared his throat.

In order to calm down.

«So… what do you want me to do?»

Unlike Wei Jeonghan, who looked apologetic, Wei Yanho replied calmly:

«Solve it.»

«Solve?»

«Yes.»

«……What?»

What should he solve? Was it even something that could be solved?

«Stop beating around the bush. It’s about taking action.»

«Cutting your neck would give me peace.»

«That would make things worse.»

Wei Yanho waved his hand:

«It’s simple. Find a way to rescue my brother.»

«Huh?»

«A way to rescue my brother.»

«Ah, I see.»

Yes, that’s what he meant. That…

«What, brat?»

Master of Divine Abilities threw the glass down with all his might. But Wei Yanho caught the glass, drank the remaining water, and gave a thumbs up.

«Thanks.»

«Kuh…»

Wei Jeonghan rushed to Master of Divine Abilities, who had collapsed.

«Sir! Sir! Are you alright?»

«Kgh.»

Master of Divine Abilities’s eyes turned red. He wanted to kill them, but he couldn’t.

After calming down, Master of Divine Abilities sat back down and sighed.

‘Even when I was surrounded by a hundred demons from the Demon Cult, I didn’t feel like this.’

Back then, he thought it didn’t matter if he died. But this was different. It was so serious that he didn’t know where to start.

“…Brat! What…?”

«I’m sorry.»

Seeing Wei Jeonghan bowing his head, Master of Divine Abilities felt a strange sadness.

‘This fool.’

Why had he done that?

Why?

Raising the Supreme Leader’s son.

Secretly. If this were to be revealed, the Wei Family of Guangdong would be destroyed.

«How many people know about this?»

“…Not many. Only my family and those who went with me.”

«Those who went with you…»

Master of Divine Abilities sighed as he recalled those who had gone with Wei Jeonghan.

«No matter the others, but the fact that a beggar knows about it is problematic…»

«Should I kill him?»

«Shut up! Shut up!»

Wei Yanho flinched at Master of Divine Abilities’s shout.

«I said something reasonable.»

«Ugh…»

Being weak is a sin.

If he had invincible power, he would have crushed Wei Yanho without hesitation. It was a pity he couldn’t do that.

«This must not be revealed.»

“…Yes.”

Wei Jeonghan nodded.

He had been hiding it because he knew. Raising Wei Sanho was his personal matter. But no one would understand.

The martial world’s resistance to the Demon Cult was great. And…

‘Because he was the Supreme Leader.’

Even though he knew the Supreme Leader was Jeokmokwoo, the name of the Supreme Leader of the Demon Cult caused him revulsion. The suffering the Supreme Leader had caused the martial world was enormous.

It wasn’t just a symbol of the Demon Cult’s invasion.

How many people had died at the hands of the Supreme Leader, shrouded in dark and red energy? Many in the martial world feared that name.

Many still cursed that name, having lost their parents, siblings, and children to the Supreme Leader. What would happen if it was revealed that his son was alive? Thousands of people would try to kill him.

No clan could withstand their anger. Not even Shaolin could control the enraged crowd. And the Guangdong clan?

‘It wouldn’t just be the destruction of the clan.’

Wei Jeonghan’s expression darkened.

That’s why he wanted to hide it.

«I want to curse all day, but that won’t solve anything. I must find a logical solution…»

Master of Divine Abilities licked his lips:

«You said you were going to look for Wei Sanho?»

«Yes.»

Wei Yanho answered, not Wei Jeonghan.

«Do you think it’s possible?»

«No.»

“…Then…”

Wei Yanho said in frustration:

«Elder, why are you doing this? We can’t solve it alone, that’s why I came to ask you.»

Creak.

The sound of clenched teeth echoed in the silent room.

«Are you upset?»

«Ugh…»

Master of Divine Abilities looked at Wei Jeonghan with red eyes:

“…Why me?”

«Don’t you know?»

«I’m sorry.»

Wei Jeonghan lowered his head. He couldn’t look anyone in the eye when it came to education.

«So you want me to find a way to get Wei Sanho out of the Demon Cult?»

«Yes.»

«From the Demon Cult?»

«Yes!»

«Wei Sanho?»

«Yes!»

Master of Divine Abilities stared at the ceiling with a dazed expression:

‘I should retire.’

Why had he been doing this? If he had retired earlier, he wouldn’t have met these two and would have been enjoying his old age.

Now, he felt more sadness than anger.

«Brat! Getting someone out of the Demon Cult isn’t easy, and it’s not just anyone, it’s the son of the Supreme Leader of the Demon Cult. Even if you get him out! How will you handle the consequences? The Demon Cult won’t stand still. How will you handle it?»

«I’ll think about that later.»

«What?»

«Elder, you and the others always worry about the consequences, but have things ever gone as you expected?»

«…….»

Usually, things don’t go as planned.

«No matter what we consider.»

«Why?»

«Because they will think the same way too.»

«……What kind of fallacy is that?»

«Master said that instead of wasting time thinking about everything, it’s better to act without thinking. It’s important to have a perfect plan, but the most important thing is not to waste time.»

Master of Divine Abilities smiled kindly.

One thing was certain.

No matter how strong Wei Yanho became, he should never hold an important position. He was someone who could destroy the martial world.

«It’s impossible.»

Wei Yanho’s eyes darkened:

«Then there’s nothing more to say.»

As Wei Yanho stood up, Master of Divine Abilities said seriously:

«Sit down.»

«I have nothing more to say.»

«I do.»

«I don’t need to hear it.»

«Brat!»

A powerful energy emanated from Master of Divine Abilities’s body.

«This isn’t just your family’s business. It’s the fate of the martial world.»

«Yes.»

«Why are you so reckless?»

«Why should I care about the fate of the martial world?»

“…”

Master of Divine Abilities was speechless.

«I don’t care about the fate of the martial world. I don’t think I should fight for it just because I practice martial arts. I practice martial arts to live comfortably. Even though it was forced.»

Wei Yanho continued, interrupting Master of Divine Abilities, who was about to refute:

«What’s wrong with rescuing my brother?»

“…Of course it’s a problem. It could provoke the Demon Cult.”

«What does it matter?»

«Brat! Provoking the Demon Cult could cause a great massacre. You, who haven’t experienced war, don’t know. A war can change the fate of many people!»

«It’s something we must face someday.»

«Yes, but…»

«If we stand still, they won’t attack. But standing still only delays things.»

«Of course. But why don’t you understand that that time can be precious to someone?»

«For my brother, our help is precious.»

Master of Divine Abilities fell silent.

Wei Yanho looked at the Master of Divine Abilities and spoke:

«Honestly, I don’t understand compromise. I don’t understand why I should strive for others. But isn’t the Righteous Martial Alliance the one that emphasizes that?»

“…….”

«I don’t know what compromise is, but if compromise can be broken in difficult situations… it’s a weak compromise. It should only be fulfilled if it doesn’t affect you.»

«Brat!»

Master of Divine Abilities stood up abruptly.

His white beard trembled. That was an offense to the Master of Divine Abilities and the Righteous Martial Alliance.

But Wei Yanho’s eyes remained cold despite Master of Divine Abilities’s anger.

«I don’t care about compromise.»

Wei Yanho stood up:

«But I know what loyalty is. My loyalty tells me that it’s not right to retreat talking about the martial world when my brother has been kidnapped.»

Wei Yanho turned around and left. Master of Divine Abilities’s eyes trembled as he watched Wei Yanho leave.

“…I’m sorry, sir.”

«Hu… huu.»

Master of Divine Abilities sat down:

«You’re reckless and immature.»

«I’m still young…»

«But you are righteous.»

A feeling of regret appeared on the face of the Master of Divine Abilities:

«Loyalty… loyalty…»

That word weighed on Master of Divine Abilities.
