Only I Have Two Towers Episode 279

People Who Disappear

Yeongsang Guild Lobby.

Momo jumped vigorously and climbed onto the table.

“How’s Momo’s jumping power!”

Momo crossed her arms proudly, looking incredibly dignified.

It was a height even a kitten could climb, but I gave her a thumbs up anyway.

“Momooo! Our Momo is so cute today too!”

Yoo Su-yeon rushed over and squished Momo’s cheeks.

“Huh? Our little Momo seems to have gotten a bit chubbier?”

“Momo ate tons of eel yesterday!”

“So that’s why your belly got rounder too?”

“My belly was always round!”

Yoo Su-yeon hugged Momo as if she was dying from cuteness.

Jin Seo-hee, who was nearby, also sneakily approached and reached out to touch Momo’s cheek.

Jin Seo-hee made a blissful expression the moment her hand made contact.

She couldn’t keep her hands off Momo during the last housewarming party either, and now she seems completely addicted.

“Wait! You have to stop squishing!”

“Why? Older Sister wants to keep squishing?”

“Then you can’t open the warehouse!”

“Oh right. You came to deliver items.”

It seemed to finally dawn on her.

Yoo Su-yeon stepped back, scratching the back of her head.

Jin Seo-hee also stepped away with a regretful expression.

I shook my head watching them.

‘The charm of Mohwang.’

How could I not understand that feeling?

As someone who always maintains a left-Kancheo right-Momo or left-Momo right-Kancheo formation at home, I understand it a hundred times over.

“Wait just a moment!”

Had even a minute passed since Momo disappeared into the Infinite Warehouse?

Crash!

An enormous amount of magitech equipment poured onto the floor.

Yoo Su-yeon approached with a puzzled expression at the unfamiliar appearance.

“Ohhhhhhh!!”

As soon as she read the description, she collapsed with her characteristic reaction.

“What’s wrong? What is this… Huh!!”

Even Jin Seo-hee, who usually had poor reactions except when it came to Momo, covered her mouth.

“Teacher Daemomo!!”

After trembling for a while, Yoo Su-yeon prostrated herself in front of Momo.

“Mm!”

Momo patted Yoo Su-yeon’s head with an incredibly mature expression.

These two have a strangely good chemistry.

I smiled at Yoo Su-yeon continuously shouting “Mohwang.”

This was somewhat the reaction I expected.

While the grade itself wasn’t high and they couldn’t be used outside the Tower, magitech equipment had excellent performance compared to their level restrictions.

Especially the firearms that were significantly lighter than existing guns.

Non-combat classes couldn’t help but drool over them.

“J-Jinhyeok?”

Yoo Su-yeon and Jin Seo-hee turned to look at me.

Their eyes were asking intensely.

Where on earth did I get these things?

“I guess you could call it a treasure room I discovered by chance. This is everything.”

I didn’t say I could bring more.

This quantity was only possible because I had swept up… no, received everything the Management Bureau soldiers had been using.

Unlike before, Etherapolis was now researching and developing various things other than weapons.

If I requested them to make more, they would gladly comply, but I didn’t want to do that.

“This is enough! No wait, it’s overflowing! This will do!”

Yoo Su-yeon threw an uppercut into the air.

Perhaps because the blocked waterway had opened.

Various ideas about how to utilize these items were already bubbling up.

“If we put these out, they’ll all sell immediately.”

Yoo Su-yeon nodded at Jin Seo-hee’s words.

“Right. But I think it would be better to milk them for as long as possible. So that new customers can flow into the Auction House.”

People don’t give up familiar things unless there’s a special reason.

Even when a better hair salon opens nearby, people still go to their usual place for this same reason.

Since the Auction House was also new to the industry, it was experiencing similar difficulties, but now a weapon that could cause a reversal in the market had appeared.

Firearms that were incredibly light and didn’t require carrying bullets.

I was confident that people would give up familiarity and visit the Auction House.

What about after that? I was confident.

Price and quality were among the Auction House’s greatest weapons.

“Jinhyeok.”

Yoo Su-yeon stood facing me and clasped her hands together.

“I will worship you as a god.”

“Pardon?”

“Me too.”

Jin Seo-hee joined in as if she had been waiting.

Perhaps from spending time with Yoo Su-yeon, she had become much more mischievous than before.

“But Suyeon.”

“Yes?”

“Is it okay to eat all those snacks? Pig Momo looks ready to finish them off.”

Munch munch munch!!

I wondered where our Mohwang had gone.

She was hunting the snack container placed in the corner.

“She can eat them all. I brought them from France, but I was going to give them to Momo when she came anyway. Oh right.”

Yoo Su-yeon held out a document.

“Jinhyeok, you’ve had such a tremendous impact on the Auction House’s growth. Not just today, but from before. So I organized the Auction House shares a bit. This might seem somewhat presumptuous.”

I wondered why she said that.

# Yoo Su-yeon 33.4%.

# Jin Seo-hee 33.3%.

# Yoo Jin-hyeok 33.3%.

It was because she had taken only 0.1 percent more.

“You can think of it as receiving additional settlement according to the percentage below, in addition to the existing item payments.”

I stared at the document for a moment, then took the pen.

And after crossing out the number next to my name, I rewrote it as 10 percent.

“This is enough.”

Even now, besides receiving sales proceeds, I was getting various benefits from the Auction House.

The Auction House not only asked me first when they got rare items, but also somehow obtained and gave me anything I needed for free.

And in the midst of all that, 33.3 percent.

It was too much for someone who just brought items and didn’t even participate in management.

Most importantly, my salary had become 100 billion, so my financial situation had become comfortable too.

“All settled! No changes allowed.”

I quickly drew the line before the two could say anything.

After staring for a while, Yoo Su-yeon and Jin Seo-hee grabbed my hands.

“We’ll worship you as our one true god!”

“Really… Me too.”

While I smiled awkwardly.

Momo, who had finished off a whole container of snacks, came running over.

“Momo wants shares too!!”

Mohwang demanded shares with snack crumbs all around his mouth.

I pulled Momo over and gave him a thumbs up.

“I’ll give Momo 100 percent of my shares.”

“What!?”

Momo’s eyes shook violently.

The owner gets 10 percent but I get 100 percent!

“Totally awesome!”

I petted the grinning Momo while looking at the documents with the share allocations.

From a basement unemployed guy to becoming a major shareholder of the rapidly growing Auction House.

I’ll have to go home and brag about this later.

“Let’s have some coffee first! I’ll brew you a delicious cup!”

“Momo too!”

“I’ll make you iced cocoa, Momo!”

“Great!”

I walked away with Momo tucked under my arm.

Since yesterday was busy, let’s enjoy a leisurely tea time today.

Krakow, Poland’s second largest city.

Lee Kang-san from the Korean Player Hunter Bureau stretched as he got off the plane at the airport.

“This is killing me.”

When he was young, he used to travel the world with just a backpack.

But now that he’s over forty, even taking a plane is torture.

“Even business class is brutal for 14 hours.”

He grumbled as he exited the airport.

“Ugh.”

They say early spring in Eastern Europe is no different from winter, and it’s definitely cold.

Lee Kang-san looked around and made a phone call.

# Yes, Mr. Kang-san. Did you arrive safely?

“My whole body aches, but I made it. But I don’t see the Polish Hunter Bureau people who were supposed to pick me up?”

# Really? I heard Europe is excessively laid-back, maybe that’s why? Hold on.

“Miss Miri, looking at this Krakow place, the Vistula River stretches out beautifully making it quite a lovely city, you know? Wasn’t it a mistake in many ways to send an old man like me to such a place?”

# You’re always cooped up in your room just smoking cigarettes. You need to go somewhere like that and refresh your lungs.

“Miss Miri is the only one who worries about me. Well… I know you sent me because my face isn’t as well-known compared to the other guys, but I’ll express my gratitude anyway.”

# Your modifiers are unnecessarily long. Oh, you should see them soon. They say they’ve almost arrived.

He nodded and lit a cigarette.

“Now shall I hear it? The reason you sent me all the way here.”

# I sent you an encrypted text message.

“I forgot the password so I didn’t read it. Too lazy to read anyway. Just tell me verbally.”

# You remember the terrorist attack that happened in Busan two years ago, right?

“I remember. We identified the culprit but they vanished like they evaporated. We still haven’t found any solid clues, so it’s a complete mystery.”

# That’s how it was. But this time we found them.

“What?”

# They were among the bodies found slaughtered in a group near Jaeeung Construction. And investigation revealed they’d been working for some organization for three years since the Tower appeared.

“That would be CrownJackpot.”

# It’s not confirmed yet, just suspicion stage, so the National Intelligence Service was quietly investigating. But this time those agents disappeared. First two people, then two more who went to find them, then four additional dispatched agents – eight people total.

“Must be chaos. Eight valuable assets disappeared.”

# Yes. That’s why they requested support from the Player Hunter Bureau.

He exhaled smoke while looking around Krakow shrouded in darkness.

It looks like such a quiet and peaceful city, but disappearances?

I’m trying to see it a bit differently.

Vrooooom.

Lee Kang-san got up as a vehicle approached.

“Looks like they’re here.”

# Mr. Kang-san.

“Yeah?”

# Be careful. The last four who disappeared were players in their 70s.

“Hey now. What unnecessary worry. You know, Miss Miri. I’m stronger against uniform humans than diverse monsters. I’ll contact you again.”

# Yes. Take care.

He hung up and walked toward the sedan that had stopped.

People got out of the driver and passenger seats and bowed their heads.

“Sorry we’re late. I’m Bickowski from the Polish Player Hunter Bureau.”

“I’m Krzysztof.”

“Don’t mention it. I’m Lee Kang-san.”

After shaking hands, he got into the back seat.

“We’ve set up a temporary search headquarters at Wawel Castle with government cooperation. We’ll head straight there.”

Lee Kang-san nodded and spoke.

“Thank you for your active cooperation. Actually, this isn’t really Poland’s concern when you think about it.”

“How could we ignore it when a friendly nation’s agents disappeared in Poland? We received orders to cooperate actively.”

“Well, well, I don’t know where to put myself. Please take care of me.”

After driving for a while enjoying the city’s night scenery.

The vehicle arriving at Wawel Castle began to slow down.

Despite being a famous tourist spot in the city, Wawel Castle was quieter than ever due to access restrictions.

Lee Kang-san got out of the car and looked around the castle.

Even shrouded in darkness, it’s a place where subtle grandeur seeps out.

“Please come this way.”

Lee Kang-san followed the Polish personnel.

How long had they walked like that?

Just before entering the castle’s square, Lee Kang-san spoke up.

“I have a question.”

“Please go ahead.”

“Is this originally Polish culture? Having people hidden everywhere for surveillance even though I’m from a friendly nation?”

The two personnel stopped walking as if on cue.

A brief silence passed, then an answer came.

“That’s unfortunate. It would have been better if you’d just pretended not to know.”

Lee Kang-san’s lips curved into a long smile.

“What kind of consideration is that for someone I just met?”

He immediately removed his eyepatch.

I heard Europe was more relaxed compared to Korea.

But it looks like today’s going to be tough.
