Only I Have Two Towers Episode 106

Honor

Woo Ryu and Jinhyeok gradually closed the distance between them.

Woo Ryu steadied his breathing as he watched Jinhyeok approach.

An opponent who might possibly be a Runner.

But it didn’t matter.

No matter how much of a Runner he was, he wouldn’t crumble so pathetically.

‘This is my chance to make up for it.’

For many years, he had taken on all the dirty work that Chairman Judo ordered him to do.

When told to kill someone, he would cleanly eliminate their entire family, and when told to steal something, he would take everything that was with it.

Achieving results that exceeded what was asked.

That’s how he barely earned trust.

But with one blow from Hiyori, everything had been blown away.

He had to somehow make up for that, and just then a Runner appeared.

It was as if God was helping him.

‘Actually, this worked out well.’

He was certain.

Capturing a Runner would have effects beyond just making up for his failure.

The mysterious climber Runner.

Only South Korea, which possessed a Runner, welcomed his appearance.

The other countries, especially Japan, one of their eternal rival nations, did not welcome this.

Runner breaking records on higher floors wouldn’t benefit Japan in any way.

Rather, the relative weakening of national defense would only push them into a disadvantageous position in future negotiations.

‘What kind of confidence is that? Do you think you’re invincible just because people have been praising you a bit?’

Woo Ryu gritted his teeth.

Even though they were only a few steps apart, Jinhyeok was empty-handed.

If he was a Runner, he should draw his chains, and if he wasn’t a Runner, he should at least draw the sword they saw at the exchange meeting.

From Woo Ryu’s perspective, having gone through countless real battles, this was nothing but insufferable arrogance.

‘I won’t lose.’

There was no way he could lose.

The opponent was alone, but he wasn’t.

Behind him were the security guards who had done Hosaka’s dirty work together with him.

The last two steps.

“Hssssss.”

Woo Ryu drew in his breath.

And then, he stopped walking.

Question marks were drawn on his face.

The air seeping through his nose was sharp.

More precisely, it was cold enough to feel sharp.

When exactly had it started?

When had the air in the chairman’s office changed?

Once he realized it, he began to feel it with his entire body.

The terrible cold that had swallowed the entire space.

Woo Ryu turned his stiffened head.

His pupils dilated.

Where his eyes reached, there were no security guards.

There were only what had been security guards until just moments ago, now frozen solid into blue ice chunks.

“Did you think I was alone?”

He heard a voice, but he had no leisure to respond.

“Chairman!”

He couldn’t tell who it was.

He also couldn’t understand how they could exist here.

A white-haired man with his arm draped over Chairman Hosaka Judo’s shoulder.

The man waved his hand.

“Don’t worry. I won’t kill this old man. Not yet, anyway.”

“Get away from the Chairman right now!”

“But is that okay?”

The corners of the man’s mouth turned up.

“Our captain isn’t weak enough for you to be looking away like that.”

Sharp killing intent felt from behind.

He took a combat stance and turned his gaze, but Jinhyeok wasn’t there.

What existed there was only a vivid line of sword energy that seemed to have just been drawn and passed through.

Puhwaaaak!

Before he could even realize he had been cut, blood sprayed into the air.

Woo Ryu collapsed to the floor as his vision grew distant.

Jinhyeok, having shaken the blood off Salamanca, exhaled.

It wouldn’t have ended so futilely.

If he hadn’t looked away and ignored Jinhyeok.

“To cut down an opponent who was looking away! Do you have no honor as a warrior?!”

Hosaka Judo shouted angrily.

Dark, who had his arm draped over him, once again wore a mocking smile.

Being right next to him, he could tell.

Judo wasn’t displaying the dignity of Ronia’s chairman and family head.

He was just pretending to be strong because he didn’t want his approaching fear to be discovered.

“Honor?”

Jinhyeok, who had asked back, tilted his head.

Certainly his master Seira was a knight who valued honor.

But she had said repeatedly.

That there was no need to maintain honor toward everyone.

That honor was something you maintained only toward opponents who were worth it.

“Do you have the qualifications to speak of honor?”

“What does a young brat know! Our Hosaka Family has been a family that has valued honor and martial arts for generations! Where did you come from, you nobody, trying to lecture us about honor!”

“Perhaps our very definitions of honor are different from each other. At least in my definition, I don’t consider someone who commits bomb terrorism against children to be honorable.”

“You…!”

He wanted to snap back at him, but somehow his mouth wouldn’t open.

In fact, Judo himself knew it too.

The countless evil acts he had committed under the excuse that it was unavoidable for the greater cause.

That these were acts that utterly abandoned the honor he had cried out for his entire life.

Jinhyeok slowly walked right up to Judo.

“I’m asking this out of genuine curiosity. Was having your pride hurt at a mere exchange meeting such a big deal that it was worth killing a child?”

“You have dishonored our Hosaka’s honor…”

“You have no honor. You people.”

Judo’s face contorted terrifyingly.

But he didn’t snap back further.

The grip strength applied by the hand grasping his shoulder.

The white-haired man was applying silent pressure.

It was a message not to carelessly address his master.

“Huuuu.”

Judo regulated his breathing.

He was the chairman of a prominent company within Japan and the head of a prestigious family.

No matter how recklessly those guys act, they wouldn’t be able to kill him too.

So right now, it would be wise not to provoke them further.

There would be plenty of opportunities to pay them back for today.

“I express regret about the child’s matter. I didn’t intend to go that far. That fool lying over there did it out of misguided loyalty. I never thought he would go to such lengths.”

Judo looked around the ruined chairman’s office.

“I’ll pretend today’s events never happened. There are no CCTVs or wiretaps in the chairman’s office, so you don’t need to worry. If I just keep my mouth shut, it’ll be as if nothing happened.”

“I know. That there’s nothing like that.”

Having Kancheo manifest and search the entire chairman’s office.

That was what Jinhyeok had done as soon as he arrived here.

“I’ll make sure the child’s compensation isn’t disappointing. So leave now. If you use the VIP elevator, you’ll be able to exit the building without running into anyone.”

How many seconds had passed after Judo finished speaking?

“Kek!”

Dark burst into a hollow laugh.

Dark moved his hand toward Judo’s neck.

“Hey old man, why are you trembling so much? Worried your lies will be exposed?”

Judo’s pupils shook.

In truth, he had no intention whatsoever of just letting those guys go.

The moment his safety was secured, he planned to use all his connections to kill them horribly.

“Chairman Hosaka Judo.”

Jinhyeok, who called out to Judo, drew a smile.

“You don’t need to go through the trouble of lying. Because from the beginning, we.”

Jinhyeok raised Salamanca.

“Never intended to let you live.”

“Wait…”

Judo raised his hand in terror, but the sword didn’t stop.

The sword was swung as is, cutting through the body stained with ugly greed.

‘As expected.’

Dark’s lips curved up long at the sight.

Clean movement without even a hint of hesitation, eyes that never wavered.

This was only possible when one didn’t doubt their own judgment and justice.

He realized once again.

Only Jinhyeok before his eyes.

He was the only person Dark could serve as master.

“Momoooook!”

“Huh?”

At Jinhyeok’s shout, Dark turned his gaze.

When had she manifested?

Momo was searching through the belongings of the fallen.

“This axe is expensive!”

“Oh?”

“The watch too!”

Jinhyeok, who was about to lift Momo up, stopped his movement.

Momo was picking up items one by one and storing them in inventory like looting monsters.

Jinhyeok, who had been watching Momo like that for a while, swallowed dry saliva.

“Mo, Momo. You should only take items. You can’t just cut and extract things like with monsters.”

“Huh? But they’re not monsters, so what do I do! That’s too cruel!”

Jinhyeok let out a sigh of relief.

He had briefly worried that the already chaotic scene might turn into a horrific slaughterhouse.

“I’ll try on this watch! Momo breathed ‘haaa’ on it and polished it squeaky clean!”

“Ugh… Let’s just sell it.”

“Yeah! That’s better! We’ll have more money!”

Dark chuckled while watching the dumb and dumber duo.

The more he looked, the more interesting his master was.

And what interesting friends he had.

A couple hours later.

The Hosaka family members who arrived at the Ronia building raised their voices.

“It’s already been hours since we could contact the chairman! What have you all been doing?!”

“We’re, we’re sorry. We’ll go up right now to check.”

“Move aside! We’ll go ourselves! And why can’t we reach the secretary manager and those secretary bastards? Weren’t they supposed to be on standby 24 hours?”

Perhaps they had become mute after eating honey.

Rito sighed as if pathetic and walked toward the elevator.

And from the opened elevator.

“Pl, please spare us!!”

Secretaries with faces pale as sheets came running out.

Rito and his brothers, who were about to board the elevator, fell on their bottoms in shock.

“What?! You didn’t answer when we called, where were you hiding before showing up now!”

There was no way they could answer this question.

They had lost consciousness so quickly after all.

And that wasn’t what was important.

“The, the chairman…!!”

The eyes of the scolding Hosaka family members widened.

They could read it from their faces.

That something had gone terribly wrong.

“Move aside!”

They pushed past the fallen people and got on the elevator.

Rito bit his nails while going up to the chairman’s office.

This is the building of the corporation Ronia.

We are the Hosaka family.

There’s no way something could have gone wrong.

When even the Japanese government doesn’t dare act rashly, who would dare touch the Hosaka?

Ding dong.

Finally arriving at the top floor.

Those who got off the elevator opened their mouths.

An unbelievable scene was unfolding.

A terrible scene they had never even imagined in their dreams.

Ding dong.

The executives who rushed over after hearing news that something had happened also stopped in their tracks.

No one could open their mouth first.

Because they could see it clearly.

The corpse of Chairman Hosaka Judo, who had already stopped breathing.

“Grandfather!!”

While the Hosaka children rushed to Judo.

The executives began busily turning their heads.

To find out who killed the chairman?

No.

In this situation, that didn’t matter at all.

What was important was something else.

Judo’s sudden death and the chairman position that had become vacant because of it.

All that remained in the Hosaka family were mediocre sons and grandsons.

One of the executives looked back at his secretary.

“Contact the Japanese Government and inform them. Tell them the Chairman has passed away.”

“Ah, understood!”

The Secretary who received the order swallowed hard.

Tomorrow would be complete chaos.

All of Japan, that is.
