Only I Have Two Towers Episode 254
Bungee Jump
Ryu Jin-su’s pupils shook violently.
Suddenly a Runner?
‘Impossible.’
Countless question marks floated through his mind.
How on earth?
Did someone among those who received the commission confess?
No.
He had already considered that.
These were people who moved for money and died for money from the start.
He had not only rerouted the path thousands of times but also made sure to cut off all tails along the way.
“Seeing how surprised you are, it seems I’ve come to the right place.”
Jinhyeok, brushing off glass shards, continued speaking.
“No need to be so surprised. There’s someone at the Player Hunter Bureau who can eventually track down even the smallest clue.”
El Colmillo of Los Saillus, who had sworn he would never reveal anything.
That resolve couldn’t even last 5 minutes under the mind-breaking interrogation.
El Colmillo spilled everything from his birthday to his name, unit composition, and even his securities account password.
In that process, we obtained one account number and handed it over to Yun Mi-ri.
Not long after, Yun Mi-ri returned with the name Jaeeung Construction.
“We’ve met before, haven’t we?”
I looked at Ryu Seung-gwon sprawled against the opposite wall.
Did we come too suddenly? He looks quite shocked.
“You got new teeth. Wow, all gold. As expected of a chaebol family.”
Leaving the stammering Ryu Seung-gwon behind, I looked at Ryu Jin-su, the owner of Jaeeung Construction.
Indeed, should I say he’s the chairman of a company.
He had regained his composure in that brief moment.
“May I ask one thing? Honestly, I don’t quite understand. Your son getting beaten up is certainly something to be angry about, but is that really all there is to it?”
Fifteen missiles had fallen right in the middle of downtown.
It was too excessive for revenge over a son who got beaten up outside.
Ryu Jin-su let out a low breath.
“Living in South Korea and still being this clueless.”
“Clueless about what?”
“Do all people look the same to you? Us and you?”
Ryu Jin-su chuckled and shook his head.
“Your delusion has limits. What you did wasn’t simply hitting one person. You brazenly rebelled against South Korea’s order without fear. Jaeeung Construction is the company that built the foundation of South Korea when it was all collapsing from war. Our bloodline is different from the likes of you from the very starting point. You should actually be grateful to me. Originally, I should have captured and killed your family first, but I showed mercy.”
“Oh… I see.”
I was somewhat speechless.
I thought this kind of chaebol family only appeared in dramas or movies.
I guess there can’t only be companies like Genex after all.
“Then let me ask the next question. How did you know I was a Runner?”
“The reason it’s hard to find Runners is because we couldn’t specify targets. Just knowing your name, Yoo Jin-hyeok, makes it instantaneous.”
I nodded.
This was somewhat expected.
I was someone living in a basement studio apartment without any particular job.
But not long after, I not only bought the Seopan-gyo Mansion but also frequently hung around with celebrities like Jin Seo-hee and Cheon Se-yeon.
While certainty was impossible, inference was entirely possible.
“I see. I don’t need to ask the last question. Your answers so far have given me certainty. That you’re the one who dropped missiles on our house.”
“So what? What changes just because you know that?”
Ryu Jin-su spread his arms wide.
“This isn’t the middle of some civil war country. This is the middle of the capital of South Korea, governed by law. And I’m the chairman of Jaeeung Construction, whom even broadcasting companies and political and business figures can’t treat carelessly. So what can you do? To even touch a hair on my head, you’d have to go through dozens of lawsuits and trials. Decades would pass in that process.”
“For a chairman to be this clueless.”
Ryu Jin-su’s eyebrows twitched.
Jinhyeok was throwing back the exact words he had just said.
This absurd arrogance made his insides boil with rage.
Meanwhile, a smile appeared on Jinhyeok’s face.
“Do I look like someone who cares about such things?”
A bitter sneer also formed at the corner of Ryu Jin-su’s mouth.
“If you want to bluff, find somewhere else.”
Ryu Jin-su spread his arms once again.
“Hit me if you want to hit, torture me if you want to torture, do whatever you want to your heart’s content! But you better be prepared to handle the consequences!”
He had come this far through all kinds of hardships.
He was prepared to calmly accept whatever this young punk might do… Huh?
Ryu Jin-su drew a question mark.
His nape was suddenly grabbed.
When he came to his senses, he had been thrown out through the broken window.
Yoo Jin-hyeok looking down at him with an indifferent expression.
“You crazy…”
He wanted to curse, but it was impossible.
Because free fall due to gravity had begun before he could.
“Ah, ah, Father!!!”
Ryu Seung-gwon bolted upright as Ryu Jin-su disappeared from view.
“You son of a bitch!!!!”
He kicked off the ground while wrapping himself in his awakening ability.
But in less than a second.
Crash!!
He had to return to the wall.
“Kugh!”
Ryu Seung-gwon collapsed, spitting blood from his nose.
Terrible pain was felt from his shattered nose.
The power was incomparable to last time.
Step.
While blood poured from his nose, Jinhyeok walked over.
Ryu Seung-gwon barely managed to move his hand and pressed a button on his phone.
He didn’t know where this signal would lead.
But since Ryu Jin-su had told him to press it in emergencies, they would appear soon.
The force that would reverse this situation.
Beep beep. Beep beep.
The phone’s vibration created small ripples in the pool of blood.
Someone walked through those ripples and extended slender fingers.
The woman who had been looking at the screen expressionlessly threw the phone away.
“Kh, kugh… Balikits… Why…!”
“Oh? You’re still alive? Was it too shallow?”
Roche tilted her head and walked over.
The man lying face down used his last strength to draw up his ability.
More than ten projectiles were instantly formed and fired.
Roche dodged the projectiles with bizarrely fluid movements.
“This monster… Cough!”
The American Man frowned.
Balikits had definitely come here on the same commission as the man.
They were undoubtedly on the same side.
But not long after receiving the personal information of the one known as Runner.
-Click.
The lights went out.
-Kwaaaaang!!
About a dozen grenades were scattered in the darkness.
Half were cut down and half were injured by the completely unexpected ambush.
However, those who had gathered were not pushovers either, so they somehow took combat positions, but.
-Sgaaak!
It was impossible to fight on equal terms with Balikits who had already adapted their eyes to the darkness.
As a result, the current sea of blood was created.
Roche approached and looked down at the man.
“That gleam appearing from unspecified empty space was troublesome.”
Roche looked down at her pierced side.
Besides this, there were quite a few injured areas including her shoulder and around her neck.
Even with the ambush and favorable environment, it was this much – if she had been careless and charged head-on, she would be the one lying sprawled now.
Puuook!!
After finishing off the man, Roche turned around.
“Ow ow… It hurts.”
Roche took a couple of deep breaths and continued walking.
Roche stared at Jinhyeok’s personal information in her hand.
“So he really was the Runner.”
Roche had witnessed Jinhyeok’s tremendous prowess on the ship to Greenland.
However, she couldn’t confirm that he was the Runner.
The first reason was that there were so many hidden masters in the world, and the second reason was that the gap was too large compared to the publicly known Runner’s abilities.
Especially the mysterious woman Ellia who had healed and protected her, and Odongtong Momo who should have been at the hotel but suddenly appeared on the ship.
She couldn’t even get a sense of what kind of abilities they were.
But today she could be certain.
Yoo Jin-hyeok is the Runner.
“Hmm. What should I do.”
A smile full of interest was drawn on Roche’s face.
With this, the debt was repaid.
Since there was no more debt, she could do as she pleased.
She hummed while clutching the wound where pain was rising.
Korea, huh.
She thought it would be boring and unremarkable.
It’s an interesting country.
Press! Press! Press!
Jinhyeok standing in front scratched his head.
“By any chance, when are they coming? I think I’ve pressed it about three hundred times.”
Bewilderment appeared on Ryu Seung-gwon’s previously confident face.
‘Th-this damn!! Why aren’t they coming!!’
It was already past the time they should have arrived, but there was still no response.
Something must have gone wrong.
Grab.
A face lifted up by the hair being grabbed.
Ryu Seung-gwon’s pupils shook terrifyingly.
He was different from the publicly known Runner.
The human before his eyes was a psycho.
If not, it would be impossible to casually throw people out of buildings.
“Your implants are well done. You must have gone to a good dental clinic.”
As Jinhyeok aimed his fist, Ryu Seung-gwon held out his hand.
“W-wait a moment…”
Bang!!
“Keueoeoeoek!”
Once again, corn kernels poured down.
It was a familiar sight that made one wonder if it was déjà vu.
Smack!
After knocking out the groaning Ryu Seung-gwon, he walked to the window.
“Heo… Heoek… Heuk.”
Ryu Jin-su was sprawled out with his legs giving out, even drooling.
Before throwing him, he had requested Renia in advance.
To pick him up again when the ground was right in front of his nose.
“Y-you bastard… I-I won’t forgive you…!”
“Ugh.”
He stopped walking toward Ryu Jin-su who was even foaming at the mouth.
Perhaps because he had properly wet himself, anger rose to the top of his head.
He wet himself but blamed others!
He crouched down while keeping some distance.
“From what I’ve heard, Jaeung Construction here will soon be blown to pieces.”
“N-n-nonsense.”
“Digging up existing crimes, creating non-existing ones. No one will protect Jaeung Construction. No one would want to make enemies of all institutions in South Korea.”
This was the reason he didn’t kill Ryu Jin-su.
Camilla had said repeatedly.
Death without suffering is a blessing.
So he intended to make him watch.
The sight of Jaeung Construction, his pride and everything, being shattered and scattered.
By the way, it’s truly grateful.
Even though he hadn’t done anything particularly for the country, they cherished him like this.
“Let’s end the useless chatter here.”
There was still something he needed to hear from Ryu Jin-su.
It seemed strange no matter how he looked at it that Jaeung Construction had pulled off something of this scale alone.
Let’s manifest Camilla and make him confess everything.
Crackle crackle crack.
He drew a question mark at the bizarre sound.
For some reason, Ryu Jin-su’s facial features began to twist.
And not long after.
“A failure, then.”
An unfamiliar mechanical voice was heard.
