Only I Have Two Towers Episode 280
At Wawel Castle
Swoooosh!
He threw his body through the sprayed blood.
A barrage of bullets swept through where he had just been standing.
Lee Kang-san, who had hidden behind a statue, pulled out his phone.
Out of service range.
He had prepared quite well.
He raised his head and stared at the statue that clearly looked historic.
It’s unfortunate that he didn’t want to sightsee like this.
Crash!!
Without even a moment to catch his breath, an anchor came flying.
The anchor fell toward Lee Kang-san, smashing the statue.
I guess they decided not to preserve cultural artifacts.
He kicked off the ground and entered through a window to the side.
Clank. Clank. Clank.
Enemies who were already troublesome with just their awakening abilities, but were also wearing strange armor.
He could only wonder where they got such things.
“This rat bastard… Grrk!”
Several personnel entered, but he immediately cut them down and ran down the corridor.
Lee Kang-san’s ability was cognitive disruption and manipulation.
Since the range his ability could reach was limited, he had to avoid combat in open areas.
To humans outside his range, he would be nothing more than an ordinary person with excellent physical abilities.
Screech!
He used his ability again on the enemies appearing before his eyes.
Enemies whose cognition was disrupted and couldn’t even pull their triggers.
He slipped between them and slit their throats with minimal movement.
Since he didn’t know how many there were, he had to conserve his stamina as much as possible.
‘Did they blow the whole thing?’
He checked communications intermittently while climbing the stairs.
This place had been a tourist spot that ordinary people visited until recently.
Even if they had made it into a temporary headquarters, they wouldn’t have been able to cover every spot in such a short time.
He had to find those gaps.
Crack! Snap! Slash!
‘There are damn many of them.’
He had only climbed two floors, but his eyes were already starting to ache.
The moment he tried to go to the next stairs.
Whizz!
Several projectiles came flying.
He reflexively dodged by moving his body, but they weren’t ordinary projectiles to begin with.
Two projectiles that changed direction like guided missiles and burrowed into his side.
He deflected the rest with his knife to avoid additional injuries.
“Tch.”
He surveyed the encirclement that was gradually closing in.
Being a former soldier himself, he immediately realized.
Those weren’t ordinary hunters.
Military strike tactics that gradually strangled the enemy’s breath.
Moreover, the language he occasionally heard wasn’t Polish but Russian.
Perhaps more than one country was involved in this incident.
Clank.
He took a breath at the approaching footsteps.
He threw the pistol he had picked up upward while simultaneously diving downward.
Dozens of gun barrels and various abilities that smashed the pistol and moved down.
But he was one step faster.
His ability activated and the enemies were instantly swallowed by cognitive disruption.
Blood flowed from his eyes as he had to hold many people, but there was no time to dawdle.
Slash! Stab stab! Swoosh!
Lee Kang-san cut off their breath one by one in the middle of enemy lines with concise movements.
Step.
He turned his gaze to the suddenly appearing presence.
But this time he was too late.
A strong light flashed and stole Lee Kang-san’s vision.
And before he could perceive anything, tremendous impact was applied to the right side of his face.
Crash!!!
Lee Kang-san’s floating body was slammed into the corridor wall.
‘What… that speed…’
He tried to somehow hold onto his consciousness that was trying to fly away, but it was futile.
His body’s switch went off regardless of his will.
Rustle.
Brilliant blonde hair swayed in front of him.
A woman who confirmed Lee Kang-san had fainted and looked down at her own fist.
Blood was on it.
“Disgusting.”
Crash! Crash! Crash!!
Emotional punches flew toward Lee Kang-san.
Speed so fast it couldn’t be distinguished by the naked eye except for momentary flashes.
“General Anastasia, please stop.”
“Huh?”
Anastasia, who had widened her eyes, slapped the man’s cheek.
“Want to die? Where does a sergeant bastard get off giving orders to a general.”
It was quite painful, but the man’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.
He just continued speaking with the same expression as before.
“Didn’t the client tell us to bring him back alive? To use as bait to break the enemy country’s shield.”
Anastasia, who bit her molars, grabbed the man’s hair.
“Sergeant Alexei. I always tell you, fix that arrogant tone. Next time I might really kill you. Got it? No matter how much longer you’ve been in the military than me, what’s important. The rank difference is like heaven and earth.”
“You’re right. I’ll keep that in mind.”
Grind.
Even this immediate acceptance was displeasing.
It was obvious he seemed to be submitting but didn’t acknowledge it inside.
“Annoying bastard.”
Anastasia, who had roughly let go of his hair, turned around.
Being called to this Polish backwater was already annoying, but having that annoying Alexei with her too.
This really was the worst day.
Swipe.
Alexei, who wiped the blood from his lips, looked at Anastasia walking away.
Russian Army Major General Anastasia Krasova.
Though never exposed in official settings, she was a monster called Flash Anastasia who had entered the upper ranks of Russia’s unofficial player rankings.
She was also one of Russia’s strongest secret weapons kept hidden.
Crackle.
“This is Alexei. Major General Anastasia just caught the bait.”
# Oh really? You didn’t kill him, did you? I specifically asked you to keep him alive.
“Additional strikes were delivered after subduing him, but he’s still breathing properly. Setting aside his awakened abilities, this man is far from ordinary.”
# That’s a relief. Good work. Lady Anastasha tends to kill them right away. I’ll arrive in two hours.
“Yes. I’ll stand by.”
Alexei hung up the phone and looked around at his subordinates.
These were men who had received fairly high-intensity training, yet they were defeated so helplessly.
What a troublesome ability.
“The client will arrive soon. Until then, restrain his hands and cover his eyes with a blindfold. That should prevent him from using his ability.”
“Yes! Understood!”
Alexei took a breath and turned his gaze toward the window.
The silent interior of Wawel Castle.
Soon, a star would fall here.
The star of a nation unlucky enough to be caught in the trap first.
The Ducati dealership in Hannam-dong, visited after a long time.
Perhaps word had spread that I was a big spender due to my last purchase.
“Welcome!”
As soon as I entered through the door, I heard the enthusiastic greetings of the store employees.
I quickly bowed my head and swallowed nervously.
Next time I should come without making a reservation call.
‘Wait, no?!’
That might be even more inconsiderate.
While I was having these thoughts, Oh Jun-tae, who had sold me the motorcycle before, approached.
“Hello! VIP customer Yoo Jin-hyeok!”
“Hello! Oh?! You became a manager. Congratulations!”
“It’s all thanks to you, customer.”
“I don’t see that person from last time.”
Oh Jun-tae looked out the door with a sad expression.
Roughly speaking, it meant he’d been fired.
Not long after, the branch manager who seemed to have gotten rid of the villain approached.
Even seeing her again, she had the atmosphere of a student advisor teacher.
“Thank you so much for visiting our branch. I’m branch manager Lee Mi-young.”
“Hello!”
“I’m truly sorry the delivery was delayed. Even though we placed the order right on the day you called, it took quite a while. Since it’s so expensive, the transport procedures were rather complex.”
“Oh, this is quite fast actually.”
“Manager Oh Jun-tae.”
“Yes! I’ll escort you this way!”
I followed Oh Jun-tae and Lee Mi-young to the very back of the store.
I glanced around casually.
Last time, the motorcycle was displayed in the most prominent location, but for some reason this one wasn’t visible.
Perhaps I looked around too obviously, as Oh Jun-tae smiled.
“The motorcycle is beyond that door. This one is quite expensive and was already reserved. It’s being kept in a place only the branch manager can access.”
“Oh. I see.”
The door opened after completing a couple of authentication procedures.
It was like a secret base rather than a motorcycle store.
Through the open door, my new motorcycle finally revealed itself.
Oh Jun-tae walked toward the motorcycle wearing white gloves.
“The model name is Ducati Desmosedici NCR M20. Most parts are made of carbon for weight reduction, and the bolts are made of titanium used in large aircraft. It’s sturdier than your previous motorcycle while being much lighter.”
My eyes sparkled fiercely.
Carbon and titanium were nice, but above all, I loved the color.
Matte black.
You could say it’s a color that strikes a man’s heartstrings.
“The price is 400,000 dollars, currently 590 million won in Korean currency. Like the previous model, it’s a model that won’t disappoint as an addition to our VIP customer’s collection.”
I closed my eyes at the mention of Dueram 1st.
Calling it a collection, he probably couldn’t imagine it had been flattened like a pancake under a car.
Let’s call it a collection in my heart.
I examined the motorcycle while listening to Oh Jun-tae’s additional explanations.
Then I readily held out my card.
“One-time payment, please!”
“Thank you as always!”
Oh Jun-tae received the card while wearing white gloves.
Watching the two of them, branch manager Lee Mi-young bit her lips.
She almost couldn’t contain her joy and nearly let the corners of her mouth rise.
A customer who bought two of the highest-grade models that might sell one every few years, within just a few months!
Since there was a high possibility he’d buy more in the future, branch manager Lee Mi-young made a firm resolution at this moment.
Even after the sale, she would capture the customer’s heart with the best service ever!
Beep beep. Ding.
After completing the payment and necessary paperwork, I came out wheeling the motorcycle.
As soon as I reached the road, people’s gazes were drawn to me.
It couldn’t be helped.
Apart from the motorcycle looking expensive, not only the branch manager but all the store employees had come out to see me off.
Let me escape quickly.
“Well, I’ll be going! Thank you!”
When I started the engine, I felt a pleasant rumble.
‘From now on, your name is Dueram 2nd.’
Having finished naming it, I slowly pulled the throttle.
Dueram 2nd glided over the road, displaying both power and smoothness simultaneously.
Now that the crazy punk Ryu Seung-gwon had disappeared, there shouldn’t be any chance of it becoming a pancake, right?
As I was gradually picking up speed, something climbed up my back.
“Kancheoooo?!”
“Commander! Yodel Ranger Unit Deputy Commander Kancheo! I have manifested to participate in the test drive!”
Perhaps because he had the experience of being thrown off once.
He clung tightly to the back of my neck.
He was fluffy and ticklish.
“Momotari was being stubborn about coming too, so I beat him up and put him to sleep.”
“That was the right thing to do. Momo can’t go invisible.”
What kind of person rides around with a chubby kid without even a helmet.
I’d definitely get reported.
“That’s right. Then please go at maximum speed!”
“Okay. Then right away… Hm?”
I pulled the motorcycle to the shoulder as my phone buzzed loudly.
Yun Mi-ri from the Player Hunter Bureau.
“Yes, Mi-ri.”
# Hello! It’s nothing major, but Jaeung Construction Chairman Ryu Jin-su’s condition has deteriorated significantly. I don’t think he’ll make it through today.
I had made a request last time.
If Ryu Jin-su was on his deathbed, please call me without fail.
I smiled and spoke.
“I’ll come right away!”
I hung up the phone and pulled the throttle again.
Now that the destination for my first drive was decided, let’s go.
To extract information.
