Only I Have Two Towers Episode 196
Dangerous Circumstances
The private jet Sky Palace that had finished landing.
Jinhyeok, who got off the plane, stretched.
The refreshing yet cold air seeping through his nose.
Indeed, it’s fitting for a country close to the Arctic.
He looked around.
They say Iceland doesn’t have tall buildings, and it’s really true.
With no buildings blocking the view, his sight opened up refreshingly.
“Thank you for your hard work flying us here.”
The crew members gave him a formal greeting.
Jinhyeok nodded his head in response.
“Oh no, not at all. I just sat still the whole time. You took such good care of me that I had a comfortable trip.”
“We’re grateful that you say so. This is what you requested before landing.”
“Ooh!”
He received two huge packages.
The private jet had landed just as he was about to request additional in-flight meals.
His friends’ faces were full of regret at the fact that they couldn’t eat lobster.
Especially Momo, who sat down with a dejected face like someone who had lost their country.
So he shamelessly made a request.
Asking if he could take the leftovers with him.
“We packed everything that was left, but it might not be enough.”
The crew members looked worried.
The fact that VVIP Yoo Jin-hyeok was an incredible big eater was already an open secret at Black Wings.
On days when Jinhyeok was flying, they prioritized checking if the food storage was fully stocked above all else.
Gulp.
Jinhyeok looked back and forth at the packages in both hands.
To give him this much and still worry like that.
Just how much of a tremendous pig do they see me as?
“No, this is enough! Thank you!”
While giving thumbs up to the crew members who had taken care of him.
Captain Dominic, who had finished the remaining procedures, walked over.
With his lean build and thin gold-rimmed glasses.
He was someone who gave off an intellectual feeling just by looking at him.
“Thank you for your hard work, Captain.”
“Not at all. It’s my duty to safely escort VIPs to their desired destination. However… it seems it will be difficult to complete the mission today. I apologize.”
Dominic made an awkward expression.
“As I mentioned before departure, we planned to get approval in Reykjavik and then head to Greenland, but the use of the air route was denied.”
“It must be a difficult section to get approval for.”
“That’s not it. I’ve been there several times before. They won’t tell us the exact reason, so headquarters is currently investigating. Unless there’s a war, our requests are rarely denied.”
The remaining distance to the destination was 1,400 kilometers.
It was too far to run.
“I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience. We’ll take action as soon as we identify the cause. And one more thing, a notice came down from Black Wings headquarters a little while ago. It recommends that VIPs located near Greenland return home or move to nearby countries. VIP Yoo Jin-hyeok is also included in this.”
“Is something happening in this area?”
“Yes. It hasn’t been accurately identified yet, but there’s a very high probability that a situation equivalent to war or terrorism will occur.”
“Oh… that’s scary.”
Dominic broke out in a sweat.
Even an idiot could tell.
That despite his words, he wasn’t scared at all.
“We’ve also received orders to return and will move to London Heathrow Airport as soon as we’re refueled. We recommend that you come with us.”
“Thank you for worrying about me. But I’m fine.”
“It’s also unclear when we’ll be able to take you to Greenland again.”
“That’s not a problem either. You brought me this far, so that’s enough. I’ll figure out how to get there myself.”
Dominic drew a faint smile.
He was too resolute, so further persuasion seemed meaningless.
He handed over documents he had prepared in advance.
“Black Wings has arranged a hotel for you. Just in case, we made a reservation for a week. If you want to leave Iceland, please contact us immediately. We can come pick you up in two hours. If headquarters’ notice is withdrawn, we’ll return here and wait.”
“Thank you!”
Jinhyeok and Dominic bowed 90 degrees to each other.
Jinhyeok smiled.
Not only did they give him all the lobster, but they even arranged a hotel for a week’s stay.
Black Wings is the best. Queen Sophia is the best.
“Well then, I’ll be going! Have a safe trip to the United Kingdom!”
Jinhyeok cheerfully greeted them and walked away.
Dominic and the crew members quietly watched his retreating figure.
“Captain. Is it really okay to let the VIP stay? I feel like we should have somehow persuaded him to come with us.”
Dominic let out a groan.
It was no wonder the crew members were worried like this.
The dangerous circumstances that Black Wings had detected in Greenland and Iceland.
It was that the Russian Special Forces Valkytch might have landed.
Valkytch, which began to surface with the appearance of the Tower of Despair.
They are called demons.
Demons who bring war, death, and misfortune.
Everything about them is shrouded in mystery – how many members they have, what abilities they possess.
Wherever they appear always becomes a wasteland.
That’s why agencies from various countries classify them as a top-tier threat.
“Should we go pick him up again now?”
Dominic shook his head.
“You should know this too. VIP Yoo Jin-hyeok’s conditions for joining Black Wings. We absolutely do not interfere with or take interest in any of the VIP’s decisions except for transportation. Warning him of danger earlier was the best we could do. Doing more would violate the conditions.”
The crew members lowered their heads.
If it were another client, they wouldn’t have worried this much.
But Yoo Jin-hyeok particularly tugs at their hearts.
His polite and bright image reminds them of a younger brother.
He’s someone they want to take extra care of.
However, Black Wings’ rules are absolute.
As long as Yoo Jin-hyeok didn’t accept the recommendation, there was nothing more they could do.
“We’ll move to the United Kingdom immediately as soon as we’re ready. Take a short break and return to your positions.”
“Understood.”
He sighed as he walked toward the cockpit.
Please let nothing happen.
He strolled around looking at the streets.
Honestly, it’s unexpected.
Since it’s right below the Arctic, he thought it would be full of snow.
Far from being white, there’s more lush green vegetation.
“It’s hot!”
Kancheo climbed onto his shoulder in stealth mode.
He took out a handheld fan from his bag and turned it on for Kancheo.
“The temperature is just right!”
“This weather would be perfect for Camilla or Ellia too.”
“No duos today or tomorrow. All their bones have gone bad, so they’ll whine that even this is cold.”
That’s a relief.
That the Tomorrow Duo couldn’t hear.
“What if Camilla puts a sleep talisman on you again?”
“I can just dodge it with a swoosh. The shaman granny is slow, so it’s not difficult.”
Indeed, the sleep talisman hit rate has dropped significantly lately.
Camella Shirin, who is a manshin, pilgrim, and high monk.
As you can tell from her titles, Camilla is multi-talented.
But there are things even she can’t do.
Moving her body is exactly that.
‘She’s even worse than Ellia in that regard.’
Ellia loves bizarre and strange objects.
To find them, she doesn’t mind arduous journeys like last time.
She at least maintains minimal activity levels, but Camilla doesn’t.
Camilla loves lying down or half-reclining.
Thanks to that, she suffers from more severe lack of exercise than Ellia, who is 2,000 years older.
“I’ll have to make her exercise later in the new house.”
“I’ll take charge of supervision.”
I can already picture them wielding slingshots and long pipes at each other.
“There it is! Resid Hilt!”
Jinhyeok double-checked the documents Dominic had given him.
They had arrived.
The lodging where they’d stay for a week.
“We can shower, rest a bit, eat lobster, and then go to the tower.”
“Let’s eat in the tower. Can’t have the hotel reeking of lobster.”
“As expected of the captain! So smart!”
She gave a thumbs up.
Today’s planned climbs: 15th Floor of the Mythic Tower and 71st Floor of the Tower of Despair.
They planned to have an outdoor lobster party on one of these floors.
They entered the hotel.
‘Whoa.’
A red carpet stretched from the entrance to the front desk.
Large golden lion statues lined both sides.
A place that perfectly fit the description “dazzling.”
“Welcome to Resid Hilt.”
“Hello.”
He went to the desk and handed over the documents.
“You’ve made a VIP corporate reservation. Welcome. I’ve confirmed your Oriental Suite reservation.”
Even before checking in, he instinctively realized.
It was definitely going to be an amazing room.
With a name like that, it would be cheating if it wasn’t amazing.
“We’ll carry your luggage for you.”
“I only have one small bag. I’ll carry it myself.”
“Understood. The Oriental Suite is all-inclusive. Please call anytime you need meals or snacks.”
His ears perked up.
All-inclusive?
A fatal yet dangerous temptation.
But he planned to eat in moderation.
He couldn’t cause trouble for Black Wings, who had made the reservation.
“You can use the dedicated elevator next to the central one. It will operate when you tap your key card. Well then, please have a comfortable stay.”
“Thank you.”
He exchanged greetings and headed to the elevator with a spring in his step.
Should he start by ordering some beer and fruit snacks?
It wouldn’t be bad as a warm-up before the lobster feast.
Then what should he order for dessert? While pondering this.
He sensed a presence.
Footsteps getting closer.
They should stop around now, but they didn’t.
Exactly one step away.
Finally, they stopped.
And a hand reached out.
Someone’s touch on his shoulder.
When he turned his head, fingers touched his cheek.
It was a prank he used to play on his elementary school desk mate often.
The first thing that entered his vision was the white, slender finger touching his cheek.
He raised his gaze a little more.
Neatly trimmed black bob hair that reached mid-neck.
Below that were drowsy-looking eyes.
No, correction.
Looking again, they weren’t drowsy but very unfocused.
One hundred percent.
She’d been day drinking.
He took out a hangover remedy from his bag and offered it to her.
The woman stepped back and stared blankly at the bottle.
“Do I look drunk?”
“Completely.”
“I didn’t drink.”
“That’s even more surprising.”
It happens sometimes.
People who naturally have that energy level even without alcohol.
Anyway, since she said she wasn’t drunk, there was no need to give away his precious hangover remedy.
Ding!
He got on the elevator that had just arrived.
He needed to escape quickly.
“Where are you going? We haven’t talked about anything yet.”
“The door hasn’t closed yet.”
“Pfft.”
The woman laughed, finding something amusing.
She was a strange person. Really.
“Seeing you take this elevator, you must be in the Oriental Suite?”
“That’s right.”
“That’s the room I originally reserved.”
“Oh… I see.”
“I came to check in and found out it was taken. They showed me the terms I signed, and it was there. Content about prioritizing VIP reservations and how assignments could be pushed back even after confirmation. In font smaller than dust.”
“I… I see.”
He slyly pressed the close button.
The door slowly closing.
Thud!
A hand came in.
The door opened again.
“How about it? I want to sleep in that room.”
A woman poking her face through the open door.
“Want to use it together?”
A mysterious smile formed at the corners of the woman’s lips.
