Only I Have Two Towers Episode 046

The One Who Should Feel Sorry

The construction site was left in ruins from the battle between Jo Gang-tae and Yoo Jin-hyeok.

Screech.

Jin Yun-ho, Gu In-jun, and Min Yu-gyeong got out of the sedan that had come to a stop.

The three people walked toward the collapsed site.

They weren’t in as much of a hurry as when they had rushed out.

Because they had already seen it on the way here.

That the fight was already over.

Even as they walked side by side, there was no conversation between them.

Their eyes were looking at the site, but in their heads, the video they had just watched was replaying over and over again.

Jin Yun-ho, Gu In-jun, and Min Yu-gyeong – all of them without exception.

“Groan…”

A moan could be heard from a distance.

The three people walked there and stopped.

Gu In-jun was the first to speak.

“Team Leader. What floor has Player Jo Gang-tae cleared?”

“45th Floor.”

“Huh.”

Gu In-jun and Min Yu-gyeong, who had let out exclamations, held their foreheads.

The battle had been far too one-sided given the conditions.

While watching the fight, the two had formed a hypothesis.

The hypothesis that Jo Gang-tae’s cleared floor count might be lower than what was known.

But this was wrong.

The reason Jo Gang-tae was overwhelmingly defeated wasn’t found elsewhere.

The Runner was simply overwhelmingly stronger than Jo Gang-tae.

“Wh-who’s there?”

Perhaps sensing people nearby.

Jo Gang-tae, who had barely regained consciousness, raised his body.

Jo Gang-tae’s face lit up as soon as he saw Jin Yun-ho’s face.

“T-Team Leader Jin Yun-ho! You know me, right?! I’m Jo Gang-tae! Please help me! I fell into a trap and got completely beaten…”

Smack!!

He couldn’t even form the question of what this was.

Heavy slaps continued to fly at him.

“Groaaaan…”

Only after his head was completely knocked down did Gu In-jun stop Jin Yun-ho.

Jin Yun-ho, who let out a deep sigh, grabbed Jo Gang-tae’s hair.

“Jo Gang-tae, you bastard. You better be prepared. I’ll make sure you rot in prison for life. If you want to run away to the Tower, go ahead. I don’t care if you die to monsters with your limbs tied up or starve to death.”

He really wanted to beat him to within an inch of his life.

That’s how furious he was.

Was it because the Hunter Bureau would be criticized due to Freelance Hunter Jo Gang-tae’s incident? Or because he destroyed buildings in the Old Town? Neither.

For touching Honorable Stair Climber Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok.

This single fact made his head throb with rage.

“Haah.”

Jin Yun-ho squeezed his eyes shut.

He had hoped no flies would swarm around.

So he had been making plans in various ways to somehow divert people’s attention away from the Runner.

Of course, he couldn’t prevent the Pantheon updates themselves.

At this rate, there was a high probability they would continue updating.

But the public was the type to quickly get used to and adapt to things.

After some time passed, this alone wouldn’t have drawn the same level of attention as now.

If only Lee Chang-gi and Jin Yun-ho had been careful with their words and spent just a little more time.

This crazy whining bastard had completely ruined everything.

Swish.

He looked down at his phone.

It wasn’t just Tower Site and social media.

With slight exaggeration, every site on the internet was on fire.

# Runner Captures the Divine Jo Gang-tae!

# You call yourself divine? At least match the standards before coming!

# Scoundrel Jo Gang-tae’s Downfall! In front of the ‘real deal,’ cleared floors and expensive equipment were meaningless!

The comments were absolutely explosive too.

Praise for the Runner and tremendous mockery toward Jo Gang-tae.

There was plenty of content that would make Jo Gang-tae himself feel faint if he saw it.

Runner here, Runner there.

This fire wasn’t something that could be put out through effort.

# Team Leader Jin Yun-ho. Even the god of cover-ups couldn’t stop this.

Even Lee Chang-gi, who had been making calls everywhere at first, had declared surrender.

Now they could only watch.

To see what form this massive conflagration would take when it returned.

“You damn bastard!”

Jin Yun-ho kicked Jo Gang-tae once more and turned around.

“The transport team will be here soon, so In-jun, take him to the Hunter Bureau. Yu-gyeong, follow me.”

“Team Leader!”

Gu In-jun looked at Jin Yun-ho with pleading eyes.

“Can’t I come with you? Yu-gyeong can handle Jo Gang-tae.”

It was obvious where Jin Yun-ho would be heading from now on.

That’s why Gu In-jun wanted to see him too.

The very spark that had ignited this uncontrollable fire – the Honorable Stair Climber Runner.

“You don’t have healing abilities. No.”

Jin Yun-ho coldly refused and resumed his stopped steps.

Min Yu-gyeong followed behind, waving her hand with a smile.

“Good work, In-jun. See you at the Hunter Bureau.”

Gu In-jun squeezed his eyes shut.

At this moment, he was so envious of his colleague.

“Phew.”

Gu In-jun exhaled and placed his hand on his left chest.

His heartbeat was still fast.

It had been that long.

Since he’d seen such a spectacular battle that made him unconsciously open his mouth.

Though one-sided, it was a hot fight that set a man’s heart on fire.

How could anyone not become a fan of the Honorable Stair Climber Runner after seeing that?

“P-Please, Hunter… please spare me…”

Smack!!

“Shut up, you piece of trash.”

Gu In-jun struck the crown of his head and began dragging Jo Gang-tae by the scruff of his neck.

The crime of preventing him from going to see the Runner.

For this offense, he planned to hit him a few more times before the transport team arrived.

Thud.

“Groaaaaan!”

Jinhyeok covered his mouth with his fist and screamed.

Seira, who had just lightly touched it, shook her head back and forth.

“Fortunately, your entire hand isn’t broken.”

Poke.

“Kyaaahhh…!!”

“It seems like two or three fingers.”

The final strike that had shattered Jo Gang-tae’s armor.

There wasn’t no recoil from that at all.

The iron chains wrapped around his hand had been smashed to pieces, and the hand that took damage beyond that had become bloody.

“Master, the final move was too reckless. It’s only because the aura-wrapped chains absorbed most of the impact, otherwise your entire arm could have been shattered.”

“Yeah… I guess I got carried away without realizing it.”

He decided to honestly admit it.

Blinded by such a clear opportunity, he had struck out refreshingly.

“The judgment itself was excellent. If you don’t finish when you can finish, variables arise in battle. Kancheo.”

“I brought it!”

Seira received the wet towel and began wiping Jinhyeok’s hand.

“However, Master is not Dark. You need to prioritize your body more and fight more carefully.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. Seira. So could you wipe a bit more gently?”

“The General’s eyes look like they’re about to pop! They’re super red!”

“He’s just trembling all over!”

Kancheo and Momo left their commentary line by line.

“Does it hurt here? How about here? Here too? No? Then what about here?”

“We need to check thoroughly! If it hurts, don’t endure it and tell us!”

Kancheo and Momo began poking here and there on his body with their short, chubby fingers.

Watching the two of them, Jinhyeok made a sad expression.

He didn’t even have the strength to shout “Stop it, it hurts!”

“Oh? Someone’s here! Two people!”

Not long after Kancheo spoke, the doorbell rang.

Kancheo dashed over in stealth mode and poked his head out the window.

Kancheo returned and reported his reconnaissance results.

“It’s that Hunter Bureau team leader! There’s also a woman I haven’t seen before! Same clothes!”

“Really? Everyone cancel manifestation.”

Jinhyeok got up and walked to the entrance.

Then he took a deep breath and opened the door.

“Yoo Jin-hyeok! Are you alright?!”

Jin Yun-ho approached anxiously after waiting impatiently.

Jinhyeok smiled and nodded.

“Yes. I’m fine. Don’t worry…”

Poke.

Yu-gyeong touched his hand without hesitation.

‘You endured well, Yoo Jin-hyeok.’

He almost let out an unseemly scream.

“Hmm, this is broken though?”

As Yu-gyeong tried to touch it once more, he quickly spoke up.

“I think my fingers are broken. My wrist and arm are fine though.”

“May we come inside for a moment? Hunter Min Yu-gyeong can treat you.”

Moving to the Hunter Bureau Hospital would be best, but doing that now would be like advertising to the entire Hunter Bureau that Yoo Jin-hyeok is a Runner!

“Please do.”

Jinhyeok politely bowed his head and stepped aside.

Jin Yun-ho, who entered inside, looked around the house.

‘Don’t do it.’

Jin Yun-ho reminded himself and turned his eyes away.

It wouldn’t be polite to examine something when he’d been graciously let into the house.

“Could you sit here and extend your hand?”

Yu-gyeong closed her eyes and brought her hands together.

The bracelet on her wrist glowed, and something began to emerge slowly.

“You don’t need to be surprised. It’s my spirit.”

A plump spirit imbued with light green energy clung to Jinhyeok’s arm.

“Oh. The pain is subsiding.”

“This is Lilly, a healing-type spirit. She maximizes physical recovery.”

“She’s a wonderful friend.”

“It won’t be completely healed, so you need to be careful until it’s fully recovered. When things calm down a bit, you should also visit a nearby hospital to see if it’s properly set.”

“Yes. I’ll definitely go. Thank you.”

He leaned back against the sofa.

Now that the pain was gone, he finally felt like he could live.

Jin Yun-ho, who had been staring at Jinhyeok intently, opened his mouth.

“I completely misjudged Player Yoo Jin-hyeok.”

“Huh? Did I make a bad first impression?”

“No, that’s not it. I just thought you were quiet and calm like a lake, someone who loves peace. I thought you’d stop at nothing to avoid conflict, but when you judge it necessary, you’re incredibly bold.”

“Haha… I suppose so.”

Jinhyeok scratched his head.

It wasn’t completely wrong.

If he had wanted to avoid it at all costs, he could have just thrown away the pen Jo Gang-tae had planted and gone into hiding.

But what could he do?

To borrow Kancheo’s words from before, Jinhyeok was also a cider-path who absolutely hated being a sweet potato dragged around.

Jin Yun-ho, who was about to ask another question, swallowed his words.

‘…Let’s stop.’

He decided not to ask this.

He was convinced even without an answer.

Although there were still parts that hadn’t been clarified, he was certain that the protagonist of the abandoned factory incident was also Yoo Jin-hyeok standing before him.

“Hmm.”

Jin Yun-ho let out a long sigh.

Because of Jo Gang-tae’s trolling, Old Town had already been exposed.

Even without knowing the detailed address, anyone could easily find their way to the vicinity.

If a specific country or organization decided to dig deep, they might discover that Yoo Jin-hyeok is a Runner.

‘He doesn’t intend to hide it completely anyway.’

The mindset of ‘it’s good if I’m not caught, and if I am, so be it.’

To put it a bit roughly, Jinhyeok’s stance was ‘What the hell? What are you going to do about it? What can you even do?’

‘The one getting anxious is this side.’

Though Jinhyeok had a very easygoing personality, when he said he didn’t want to belong to the Hunter Bureau, he was more sincere than anyone.

So asking again would be meaningless.

The Hunter Bureau was the one with regrets, so they had no choice.

-Even giving Felix’s subspace bag to an outsider was too generous. Getting additional support will be difficult.

Lee Chang-gi had clearly said that, but now the situation had changed.

“Yoo Jin-hyeok.”

“Yes?”

Jin Yun-ho leaned forward and smiled.

“Let’s move you. The Hunter Bureau will provide full support for housing costs and all moving expenses.”

An Honorable Stair Climber.

He must be protected at all costs.
