Only I Have Two Towers Episode 223

Betting Complete

Yoo Su-yeon of the Auction House stared straight ahead.

Before her eyes, Jinhyeok sat in a modest posture.

After taking a deep breath, she parted her lips.

“So… asking to borrow money is all you wanted to say?”

“Yep. That’s right.”

“Nothing else at all?”

“Yep.”

“Don’t be like that, tell me now. Not even this much? Not even a speck? Nothing else?”

“Not even a speck of dust.”

She stared at Jinhyeok blankly for a moment.

“Haaaaah!!”

She let out a big sigh of relief.

Jinhyeok had suddenly approached with an extremely stern, solemn, and serious face.

Even sitting in a modest posture saying he had something to tell her, her heart had sunk.

“I was startled thinking you were going to say something else.”

“Something else?”

“For example…”

Yoo Su-yeon made an arrogant and swaggering expression.

“Hey Auction House! Haven’t I spoon-fed you enough by now? I’m going to work with global corporations from now on, so get lost, you countryside hole-in-the-wall shop! Something like that?”

“Was I such a bastard in your image? You even remodeled my house for free!”

“Oh no, absolutely not. I have a lot of guilty feelings, so my feet were tingling.”

Suyeon laughed and scratched her head.

Though they were close in daily life, as the owner of a trading company, she had never forgotten even once.

That Jinhyeok before her was a monster with incredible power and a superstar wanted by the entire world.

If global corporations or nations discovered Jinhyeok’s true identity?

They would somehow try to take him away by offering astronomical conditions.

In contrast, the Auction House was in no position to offer anything substantial right now.

That’s why she had been unnecessarily nervous.

“What a relief. It was just borrowing money. You can speak more comfortably about such things! Hey! Go bring all the money from the safe! Like that.”

“Suyeon, have you been reading a lot of martial arts novels lately? That’s how you talk to a servant at an inn.”

“Hehe. I do enjoy them quite a bit. Anyway, please really speak comfortably next time! Really! I’m prepared to give you the entire Auction House!”

Yoo Su-yeon spoke with sparkling eyes.

Shouldn’t that not be allowed?!

It was even scarier knowing she was serious.

Suyeon took out her tablet, tapped it a few times, and spoke.

“This is the cash the Auction House currently has. Sales are trending upward through collaboration with Generosos, but we haven’t been at it long and we’re still in a growth phase, so we don’t have much saved up. So I brought this. My personal account and the account Grandfather entrusted me to manage!”

She swallowed dry saliva at Suyeon’s bright smile.

If asked, she seemed ready to give up even her soul.

“I appreciate the sentiment, but I can’t touch Grandfather’s account…”

He was about to say that wouldn’t be right.

But the amount was too attractive for that.

“I can’t touch it, but I’m sure he’d be happy to see the account grow.”

She gave a thumbs up.

It wasn’t like he was betting on something dangerous.

He could win and pay back generously with interest.

“I’ll transfer it right away. 5 billion in total.”

His pupils shook.

Suyeon’s personal account instantly changed to 0 won.

“The Auction House has plenty to eat. We’ll make lots of money from now on.”

Suyeon smiled and stood up.

“Then I’ll go finish up my work!”

He covered his mouth watching her walk away.

To give such a large amount without even asking what it was for.

He firmly resolved to somehow live up to this infinite trust.

“Let’s see, let’s see.”

Original money plus salary coming in the day after tomorrow plus the 5 billion just borrowed plus.

A total of 20 billion in ammunition was created.

Ding.

He checked the arrived text message.

A text from Yun Mi-ri of the Player Hunter Bureau.

# Here’s the information you requested. You know this is secret from the team leader since I got it through unofficial channels, right?

After sending a thank you reply, he stretched.

With this, preparations for the jackpot were complete.

Poke poke poke poke poke.

He lifted the hidden Kancheo onto his shoulder.

“The old lady is looking for the Captain. In the backyard garden.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. What’s wrong with your face?”

One side of his fur was matted as if he’d been beaten up somewhere.

“That old hag dared to order the Captain around, so I gave her a drop kick to establish discipline.”

“But why is Kancheo the one who got flattened?”

“The old lady made something weird. A hand shot out like a counterattack.”

The combat level of their fights was gradually increasing.

It should be fine, right? They become friends through fighting.

Step.

Following Kancheo’s guidance, he went to the backyard.

Friends sitting under a large zelkova tree.

‘It’s been a while since I came here.’

The sacred tree where the village’s guardian spirit was said to live.

He rarely came here because he’d get in serious trouble if caught playing here.

‘I wonder if there’s really something there?’

A question suddenly arose.

He couldn’t check before, but now he could.

He opened his spiritual sight.

And he had no choice but to stop walking.

Swoooosh…!

Golden energy emanating from the zelkova tree and extending throughout all of Guwunri.

He could tell without anyone explaining.

That energy was protecting Guwunri.

Thick smoke poured into his vision.

“You can see it.”

Camilla, who had appeared beside him, smiled.

“The sacred tree is a pillar connecting the village and the sky. The pillar allows the breath of heaven and earth to meet. And this breath feeds on prayers, accumulates years, and transforms into energy that protects the village. That tree too must have stayed here for over a thousand years, watching over the village.”

The sacred tree, this friend was more grateful than he thought.

“Compared to the past, the energy is much weaker now. Faith isn’t what it used to be. But master.”

“Yeah?”

“I was wondering where I felt evil energy coming from.”

Camilla looked at Kancheo on his shoulder with narrowed eyes.

“You’ve brought an evil spirit with you.”

“They’re not evil spirits, they’re yodels. And don’t blow cigarette smoke at the Captain. Before I flying kick you.”

“I’ll let it slide since we’re in front of the Sinjang Tree. Can’t show an ugly sight here.”

I slowly nodded my head.

A chicken game where they beat each other with slingshots and long pipes.

It certainly wasn’t a pleasant sight for a third party to watch.

“Anyway, I got some help from the Sinjang Tree to hide that thing.”

Camilla drew a line on the ground with her foot.

“This is where the barrier begins. For those without permission, the tree will guide them to a different path.”

I was curious about what they were trying to hide.

But I could tell as soon as I went inside.

“Kuheooo…!”

A gigantic frog positioned next to the Sinjang Tree.

It looked at least 5 meters tall.

The bread spread out beside it was also enormous.

“Hehehe. What an excellent reaction! How is it? A great work created by the Star Alchemist in a snap?”

“It looks unpleasant.”

“Yodels whose eyes are just decorations should step aside. I asked the master.”

While Kancheo and Ellia beat each other up with their usual repertoire.

I approached closer to examine the frog.

One giant eyeball embedded right in the center of its body.

It belonged to the Black Dragon Drakan.

Gulp!

It certainly had a very grotesque appearance to show to anyone.

Camilla hadn’t borrowed the Sinjang Tree’s power for nothing.

“Now I can get from master’s house to here in 1 second?”

Ellia gave a thumbs up with her hair all disheveled.

I also gave her a thumbs up in response.

As expected of the Star Alchemist.

And while gently patting Ellia’s head, I carefully asked.

“By any chance, do you get covered in saliva every time you ride this frog too?”

“No? That was just in case of unexpected attacks? Here, the Sinjang Tree and Camilla’s barrier are protecting us.”

I was worried I’d have to shower every time I rode it, but thankfully not.

‘A highway pass has been created.’

I planned to place the other one at the Pangyo house.

Ultra-high-speed portals had been created between Pangyo and Yesan, which I traveled between most frequently.

Awesome!

I sat among my friends and took out my phone.

“It’s quite a flashy website.”

“It hurts my eyes.”

“Gambling sites are usually like this.”

“Is the Captain gambling?”

“Pfft. What gambling. It’s 100% win rate, so I’m just earning free money.”

I smiled casually and finished creating an account.

Of course, my hands trembled when I pressed the deposit button.

Sending 20 billion to this kind of site.

Even though my annual salary was 100 billion, my heart was still like a bean, so I couldn’t help but be nervous.

# Deposit completed!

“A lot of strange chips appeared!”

# Betting completed!

“They disappeared!!!”

I calmed my pounding heart while touching the fluffy Kancheo.

Quick betting for the jackpot completed!

Ding!

I checked KakaoTalk.

I wondered if they had already taken the money and run, but fortunately not.

# Sorry for being late. I’ve obtained the 5 enhancement scrolls you mentioned.

I threw an uppercut into the air.

They had said it might take a while since there were no items available.

As expected of Team Leader Jin Yun-ho.

He got them in less than half a day.

# I’ll come to pick them up! Thank you!

“I’m going to take the Auction House truck to the Player Hunter Bureau, so play here and come back.”

“Understood! Can I roast and eat sweet potatoes?”

Kancheo pulled out a large bundle of sweet potatoes from his bag.

“Oh? Where did you get those?”

“I secretly took them from Torongja.”

So he had pilfered them.

I offered a sincere apology to Torongja in my heart.

I’ll buy him something delicious later.

“Momo wants roasted sweet potatoes too!”

“Momo should roast them. If I do it, they might explode.”

“Sweet potatoes can’t explode!”

Teacher Daemomo quickly prepared a bonfire.

After telling them to enjoy their meal, I walked toward the Auction House.

Let’s hurry.

I had a lot to do.

“Pffft!!”

Crown Jackpot’s Cambodia branch.

Branch manager Chenda spat out the coffee she was drinking.

Chenda rubbed her eyes and checked the monitor once more.

“What is this? Is this real? It’s not an error, right?”

“No. It was deposited through normal channels.”

“Who is it?”

“Since they deposited with a coin account, we can’t know their real name. The ID they created on Crown Jackpot is Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.”

“Pfft…!!”

Chenda couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

It wasn’t just because of this old-fashioned ID.

The funniest thing was the categories that this chicken guy had bet the huge sum of 20 billion on.

A game predicting the number of tries needed to clear the fortress and which country would clear it first.

He had bet 10 billion each on 0 tries and South Korea.

“Isn’t this guy completely insane? Is he a chaebol? He’s just throwing money away.”

The moment the Fortress of Rakshasa opens and even one person enters, the number of tries becomes 1.

Moreover, South Korea had already given up on clearing it at the national level.

The proof was that instead of obtaining necessary items like other countries, they were selling them off.

This was embarrassingly beyond what could even be called long odds.

Chenda wiped her eyes after laughing until she cried.

She didn’t know exactly how much of a sucker this person was, but anyway.

“I’ll eat well.”

She had earned 20 billion for free.
