Only I Have Two Towers Episode 130
How Dare You Act Territorial?
Jinhyeok, who had exited the airport through the VIP pass, looked back.
He had just learned something.
That the price of the private jet included all airport VIP services for the next 10 years.
‘How wonderful money is.’
He realized it once again.
This unchanging truth of the world.
Screech.
While he was briefly enjoying the outside air.
A luxury sedan stopped in front of him.
“Jinhyeok!”
Cheon Se-yeon poked her head out of the passenger window.
Jin Yun-ho in the driver’s seat also nodded in greeting.
“Hello!”
Jinhyeok cheerfully returned the greeting and got into the back seat.
Even after closing the door, the vehicle didn’t start moving.
When he looked up, both people’s gazes were focused on him.
“Even though you’re right in front of us, it doesn’t feel real. Jinhyeok, did you really save the British Royal Family?”
“Rather than trying to save the Royal Family, it just happened that way. Oh right. Team Leader Jin Yun-ho, thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to get out peacefully.”
While heading to Incheon Airport, his original destination, Jin Yun-ho had contacted him.
There were many groups waiting at Incheon Airport, so if possible, he should come to a different airport.
So he changed course midway.
To Cheongju, since he wanted to visit home after a long time.
“But Jinhyeok. When you received the team leader’s call, weren’t you on the plane? You should have been heading to Incheon Airport, so how did you come straight to Cheongju Airport?”
“I received some special treatment.”
He decided not to mention that he had gotten a new private jet worth 500 billion won.
He’d surprise them with that brag later.
“Special… treatment.”
Jin Yun-ho and Cheon Se-yeon looked at each other’s faces.
What kind of special treatment would allow changing course midway?
Well, if Jinhyeok said so, it must be true.
“I’ll start driving. We’ll head to Yesan first.”
“Yes. Thank you for coming out to pick me up.”
“Don’t mention it. This is more comfortable and better for me too.”
“But who was waiting for me like that?”
“Basically, various broadcasting companies and corporations.”
“They wouldn’t recognize me even if they ran into me anyway.”
“Yes. That’s right. They probably didn’t think they could identify you right away either. They would have tried to deduce a little. A male Player in his 20s or 30s who entered Korea from the UK. Someone whose affiliation and climbing floor are unclear.”
It was an open secret that South Korean agencies were hiding the Runner.
Rather, having too few suspicious points couldn’t rule out the possibility of being put on the list.
“I would have normally told you to come to Incheon Airport, but there were some groups I was concerned about, so I contacted you.”
The Player Hunter Bureau, truly South Korea’s top agency in name and reality.
Secretly extracting one person from inside the airport was nothing.
It’s just that there were dangerous places that might notice this.
“People from Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies were there. No matter how much we pay attention, those organizations can’t be taken lightly.”
“The scale of people looking for me keeps getting bigger.”
“That would be the case. This time it was the British Royal Family. It even affected international diplomatic cooperation. And I’m asking just in case.”
“Yes. Please speak comfortably.”
Jin Yun-ho tapped the steering wheel a couple of times with his finger.
Jin Yun-ho carefully continued speaking.
“Did something happen in Japan? I spotted a troublesome person at the departure gate. Sato Tsubasa, a core member of the Japanese Innovation Party. Upon checking, it was an unofficial schedule.”
Sweat broke out on his back.
A lot had happened indeed.
Things he couldn’t tell even Jin Yun-ho.
“I did beat up a friend from the Hosaka Family at the exchange meeting. But it wasn’t something that would be connected to a National Assembly member.”
“I see.”
Jin Yun-ho nodded.
The word “yakuza” lingered on his lips, but he decided not to bring it up.
Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok.
He had put South Korea’s steel industry, which was on the verge of collapse, back on track.
It was right not to say anything that might feel like interrogation.
‘A Japanese National Assembly member.’
Jinhyeok let out a quiet sigh.
He was unintentionally becoming more popular.
“How are the people from Zhuzhou doing?”
To change the subject, he asked about the situation of the Zhuzhou people who had gone to Yesan.
“Yes. They’re quietly proceeding with the relocation work. If too many go at once, it would be noticeable. You’ll probably be able to meet them right away when you go.”
Jinhyeok gave a thumbs up.
It hadn’t been that long since he last met them, but he was secretly becoming curious.
What would these formidable immigrants look like settled in his hometown village?
The Agricultural Cooperative located in Yesan City.
“Why can’t I rent it? I’m also someone who farms in Yesan.”
Yu Man-cheol, Yoo Jin-hyeok’s father, shook his head as if he couldn’t understand.
As part of national agricultural support, the Agricultural Cooperative provides necessary farming equipment to farmers.
So Yu Man-cheol had come to borrow a tractor and harvester for the harvest, but the Agricultural Cooperative employee flatly refused, waving his hand.
It had been going on for several days.
“I borrowed them just fine until last year. I’d like to know the reason why it’s suddenly not possible.”
“Sigh. Reason? What reason would there be? Ah, they’re all out. There’s no farming equipment available for rent.”
“Isn’t that farming equipment over there?”
Yu Man-cheol pointed to the parking lot.
Several pieces of farming equipment that were obviously idle.
“They’re all already reserved.”
“Where and until when?”
“Good grief! Please stop it! Stop it! I’m the staff member in charge, and I’m saying it’s not possible!”
“With so many people watching, what’s all this commotion about?”
An old man and his group approached with their hands behind their backs.
The employee who had been yelling at Yu Man-cheol politely greeted them as if nothing had happened.
“You’re here. Village Head.”
“Yes, yes. Deok-gu, you’re working hard. How’s your father doing?”
“Thanks to the Village Head always looking after us, we’re doing well.”
“Good. So what’s the problem?”
“The farming equipment isn’t available for rent, but he keeps demanding I hand it over.”
“When did I ever demand you hand it over?”
“Oh my. Stop it.”
The Village Head clicked his tongue and walked toward Yu Man-cheol.
“Man-cheol. There are procedures and orders for everything, so what’s this behavior? And you still haven’t paid the development fund, have you?”
“I already paid this year’s amount.”
“That was paid to the previous village head. Since the person changed, you need to pay anew.
“The development fund isn’t paid to individuals, so how does that make sense? And surely you’re not blocking the farming equipment rental because of the development fund?”
“Who’s going to stop whom? Didn’t you hear? Everything’s already been reserved.”
Yu Man-cheol, who was about to retort, closed his mouth.
He roughly understood how the situation was unfolding.
Despite living here for quite a long time, he still wasn’t free.
From the territorial behavior that had long been entrenched in the region.
‘I thought it had disappeared somewhat.’
It was a big mistake.
The bad practices that began raising their heads as soon as the village head changed.
He realized anew.
This was a region where obviously unreasonable things were allowed as if they were natural, where the invisible authority of an individual called the village head was far too powerful.
‘What could a nobody like you possibly do.’
Watching Yu Man-cheol who couldn’t say anything, the village head drew a fishy smile.
The rest of the villagers had already tucked their tails between their legs.
But just one person, this stubborn Yu Man-cheol alone, had held out until the end without paying the development fund.
‘Do you think you’re the only smart one who doesn’t pay?’
It wasn’t that they didn’t know it was unreasonable either.
They just paid because they knew they’d face this kind of harsh treatment if they didn’t.
Just how much harsher treatment would this stubborn fool have to endure before he meekly admitted defeat?
“Man-cheol’s watermelons were really fresh and had such big seeds. Won’t even get to see them this year. Tsk tsk.”
The village head clicked his tongue with mockery.
What could be done?
He’d have to keep stepping on him until he learned his place.
“Hah.”
Yu Man-cheol let out a sigh.
Anyway, that employee and the village head were all in cahoots.
There seemed to be no point in saying more.
Just as he was about to turn back.
“Father.”
Jinhyeok approached, waving his hand.
“Jinhyeok? What brings you here without any notice?”
“Are you Man-cheol’s son? I’m the village head here…”
Whoosh.
Jinhyeok just passed by pretending not to see him and went to Yu Man-cheol.
“I came because I heard you were here. What are you doing?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Oh come on. How is it nothing? This works out perfectly. Pay your father’s development fund for him.”
This time too, Jinhyeok didn’t look at the village head.
Complete disregard.
He had no choice.
Before arriving in Yesan, he had heard the whole story from his mother, Kim Min-ji.
-Just leave it alone. I’m going to go burn it down.
He had stopped his mother, who seemed ready to actually go buy gasoline, and came straight to the agricultural cooperative.
The timing worked out perfectly.
He had already prepared something for filial piety anyway.
“Hey, hey, an adult is speaking to you but you won’t even look…”
“Father. Did you come to rent farm equipment by any chance? You don’t need to rent that.”
“Don’t need to rent it?”
“I bought some on my way here.”
“Huh?”
He still couldn’t grasp what was being said.
Instead of giving additional explanation, Jinhyeok pointed toward the parking lot.
People’s gazes naturally followed his hand.
Vroooom!
With a powerful exhaust sound, the latest tractors and combines appeared, along with various precision farming equipment.
These were models that were in a different league from those parked at the agricultural cooperative, whether in function or price.
“That’s what you said you wanted to buy, right Father? American-made. I looked into it and it’s the most famous brand.”
“Well, that’s right, but.”
Yu Man-cheol swallowed dry saliva.
The field had gotten bigger after receiving land from a kind-hearted owner.
Even considering that, these had ridiculously good performance for use on a private farm.
“Wait, wait! Hey Deok-gu! Is that also government support? If it came out, you should have told me, the village head, first!”
“Have you gone senile after tasting money? What government support. I bought this with my own money.”
Had he picked it up from Kancheo?
Harsh words that he normally wouldn’t use came out.
Anyway, after handing over the purchase receipt, he continued speaking.
“Don’t even look at it. It’s private property.”
After driving the point home, he left the agricultural cooperative with Yu Man-cheol.
“Son. Each one of those must easily cost over 200 million won, what money do you have?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not a loan. I got some good items this time and made money. Use them comfortably.”
“Even so, such expensive things…”
Yu Man-cheol walked over and touched the tractor and farm equipment.
Contrary to his words, his eyes sparkled frighteningly.
The corners of his mouth also twitched.
The three sacred treasures that any farmer would covet.
And these were the world’s best three sacred treasures placed right before his eyes.
How could he not be happy?
‘He’s really delighted.’
Jinhyeok, who had been watching that scene with satisfaction, turned his head.
Screech!
A luxury sedan came rushing from somewhere and slammed on the brakes.
A middle-aged man who got out of the car urgently ran into the agricultural cooperative.
He was probably a Yesan Agricultural Cooperative executive who had just received a call from the Central Agricultural Cooperative Audit Department.
Though he wouldn’t know that the starting point was the Central Player Hunter Bureau.
‘What era are we living in to still have territorial behavior?’
Jinhyeok snorted and walked along with Yu Man-cheol.
Today he was planning to hold a meat party to commemorate the purchase of new farm equipment.
