Only I Have Two Towers Episode 071

Blow It Up?

Hannam-dong Officetel.

Se-yeon, who had finished showering, stretched.

‘Why do these damn rifts keep appearing one after another?’

She clicked her tongue while pouring beer.

Every time she tried to do something, a rift would appear.

Normally, she would have been deployed alongside other Freelance Hunters, but this section was the 50th floor range, deadly poisonous even without monsters.

Se-yeon was the only one in this area who could be deployed without equipment setup due to her divine protection, so there was no choice.

Se-yeon sprawled on the sofa and opened Instagram.

Mindlessly browsing Instagram while drinking beer like this was her pleasure.

# Xiao Chen spotted at Incheon Airport!

‘Xiao Chen? Why is that crazy Grandfather here again?’

It might seem rude, but what could she do? It was the truth.

Se-yeon had also met Xiao Chen before.

Xiao Chen, who had suddenly asked for a fight just because she looked strong.

Back then, their cleared floor levels were similar, so she had somehow managed.

‘Now I’d get beaten up.’

While Se-yeon was struggling in the 80th floor range, Xiao Chen had climbed up to the 100th floor section.

Even when they fought back then, the old man was so strong it was terrifying.

Now he must have become incomparably stronger.

‘He’s probably the world’s number one among grandfathers.’

After shrugging her shoulders, she continued reading the comments.

‘Xiao Chen kidnapped someone at Incheon Airport? What kind of attention-seeking is this?’

No matter how wild Xiao Chen was, he wouldn’t go that far.

He was someone who maintained certain boundaries.

# It wasn’t kidnapping, he followed on his own?

“That makes sense. Another clueless fool who doesn’t know how the world works… Pfft!!”

She spat out her beer.

Beer dripped from her mouth and her freshly worn pajamas got soaked.

But none of that mattered.

‘What, what is this?’

A photo had been posted in the comments.

A man surrounded by menacing-looking men in suits, following Xiao Chen obediently.

The image was blurry, but the face was unmistakable.

‘Why is he there?’

She brought her phone closer to her face to see more clearly.

No matter how much she tried to deny it, looking this way and that, there was no doubt.

It was Yoo Jin-hyeok.

‘Why is he at the airport? Why is he following that Grandfather?!’

Se-yeon jumped up and searched for Jin Yun-ho in her contacts.

And just as she was about to press the call button.

# Jin Yun-ho.

A call came in.

“Hello…”

# Jinhyeok has been kidnapped!!!

Jin Yun-ho screamed almost desperately as soon as she answered.

This was a first.

She had never seen this man so panicked.

“What happened?!”

# I don’t know. I’m heading to Incheon Airport right now.

“Can’t you stop the plane from taking off?”

# I already requested it from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but they refused. They said Xiao Chen’s private jet can’t be touched by anyone right now. They said it’s classified information they can’t tell me, but it seems he entered with diplomatic status.

“Damn. I’ll come too.”

# I was thinking if we revealed that Jinhyeok is a Runner, even the President might step in. But that seemed too rash, so I held back.

“You did well. And you saw that photo, right? Jinhyeok is following on his own from the start.”

A deep sigh came from the other end of the phone.

Currently, all sorts of thoughts were running through Jin Yun-ho’s mind.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Jinhyeok.

However, all the circumstances and timing matched up too perfectly.

All indicators pointed to defection.

“See you at Incheon Airport! I’m hanging up!”

There was no time to wait for the elevator.

Se-yeon leaped off the balcony.

Divine light enveloped her body.

Meanwhile, at Incheon Airport.

Jinhyeok let out a quiet “Ooh!” as he passed through the VIP Exclusive Passage.

It was a private space where he wouldn’t encounter other passengers.

The design and decorations were top-class luxury itself.

He was trying to restrain himself to avoid looking unsophisticated, but it wasn’t easy to hold back.

‘They’ll give me my phone back, right?’

The phone that had been confiscated before entering the VIP exclusive area.

Since Xiao Chen had also handed his over obediently, Jinhyeok had given his without complaint.

‘There’s even a VIP Lounge.’

A spacious buffet area appeared with the smell of delicious food.

No one was using it.

Xiao Chen was the only one with usage rights for today anyway.

“Even if you’re hungry, wait a little. There’s more delicious food on the plane.”

At the end of the exclusive passage.

People who had been waiting bowed their heads.

“Wait a moment. I’ll finish talking and come back.”

As Xiao Chen walked over there and paused for a moment.

His Secretary Jingyan approached.

“Don’t get on.”

He looked at Jingyan who had spoken quietly.

What he heard wasn’t Chinese, but Korean.

“It’s not too late yet. This is Korean soil. Leave before Xiao Chen returns. The Security Guards won’t be able to stop you roughly either. If you get on that plane like this…”

Jingyan looked at Jinhyeok.

“You’ll regret it. And then it’ll be irreversible.”

She knew too.

She had just met Jinhyeok today for the first time.

She had no obligation to risk danger and say such things.

Nevertheless, she felt sorry.

For this peer who was naively following along, not knowing that his freedom would disappear from now on.

– I want to follow you!

So far, no one had ever refused Xiao Chen’s proposal.

Because everyone who caught his eye without exception became powerful figures or celebrities.

But they only realized later.

That to gain power and fame, they had to give up their freedom.

That they had to become puppets who could never go against Xiao Chen’s words.

“Thank you. But I’m fine.”

Jingyan’s eyes wavered.

“You wouldn’t be fine, that’s why I’m saying this…”

“I’m fine.”

She couldn’t say anything more.

Xiao Chen, who had finished his conversation, was coming back.

Jinhyeok gave a light nod and turned his head away first.

“Take off.”

Jingyan’s mouth opened slightly, just a little.

Usually when someone hears such a warning, they would hesitate at least a bit.

But there wasn’t a trace of such hesitation in Jinhyeok.

Like someone going on a picnic, Jinhyeok cheerfully boarded the private jet.

Jingyan shook her head as if feeling sorry.

It was too late now.

The private jet that took off from Incheon Airport had reached a safe altitude.

‘Is this a converted military aircraft?’

It was far from the gleaming private jets seen on TV.

An aircraft with the massive size and structure of an airborne unit or transport plane.

While he was looking around, Xiao Chen, who had been silent until now, leaned forward.

Was he going to serve in-flight meals now?

“You’re a Runner, aren’t you?”

Good thing he wasn’t drinking anything.

If he had been, he would have sprayed it on the old man’s face.

Xiao Chen didn’t wait for Jinhyeok’s answer.

“You have to be a Runner. With this level of power, the only ones whose names or faces aren’t known in Korea are Runners.”

“Even if I said no, you probably wouldn’t believe me. But how do you know what level my power is?”

Xiao Chen pointed to his own eyes.

“These aren’t ordinary eyes. I can see what others cannot.”

“Like ghosts or spirits?”

“I can’t see those. It would be more accurate to say power or energy. So, are you a Runner or not?”

“I’m not.”

“You’re skilled at lying. Your eyes didn’t even waver once. Well, that’s fine.”

When Xiao Chen extended his hand, Jingyan brought over a document.

“Sign this. I’ll make you strong enough to be counted among the world’s best.”

“I won’t naturalize.”

“At least read it. It’s not about naturalization, it’s about belonging to me.”

“To me, naturalization and that are no different.”

Xiao Chen let out a hollow laugh.

“I have to acknowledge your spirit at least. You’re the first person who hasn’t been intimidated in front of me to this extent. But even that needs to be done in moderation to be tolerated.”

Xiao Chen hardened his expression and looked around the plane.

“You’re the only one who boarded this plane. There’s no one who can help you. Do you understand your situation now?”

“Can I ask one question?”

“Go ahead.”

“Is this plane going to Lijiang? I boarded because you said we could get there quickly without layovers.”

“I heard Koreans are very suspicious. That doesn’t seem to apply to you.”

A sinister smile formed on Xiao Chen’s lips.

“Why would we go there? This plane is going to Shanghai.”

“I see.”

Xiao Chen frowned at Jinhyeok’s nodding response.

‘Why is this guy so calm?’

It wasn’t just a matter of being composed or not.

Jinhyeok answered with complete indifference, as if it wasn’t his concern at all.

Jinhyeok let out a quiet sigh.

‘If we’re going to transfer in Shanghai, I should have just taken business class.’

At least that would have provided in-flight meals, but here the atmosphere didn’t suggest they’d even give him food.

Moreover, he had boarded to get there quickly, but now it would take even longer – unacceptable.

Jinhyeok shrugged and reached into his bag.

Shortly after, his hand emerged holding a round cookie tin wrapped tightly with packing tape.

Before anyone could say anything, Jinhyeok stuck it to the ceiling.

Then he took out Hermes’ Shoes from his inventory and put them on securely.

Question marks appeared on everyone’s faces as they watched.

What on earth was this person doing?

“How long do I have to watch this ridiculous act?”

“I’m done.”

Jinhyeok dusted off his hands and smiled.

“This is a bomb.”

“What?”

“I’m confident I won’t die even if this explodes.”

It wasn’t a bluff.

It would be cold, but if he wrapped himself in Dark’s Thousand-Year Ice before the explosion, he would survive without a scratch.

Being thrown into the void was also no problem.

Hermes’ Shoes would eliminate the weight.

“Turn the plane around. To Lijiang.”

“Your joke has gone too far. Don’t you know who I am?”

“I do. But being a ranker doesn’t mean you can prevent bombs from exploding. Well, of course, even if the plane crashes, Grandfather would probably survive.”

Arrogance needs to be kept within limits to be considered cute.

Xiao Chen’s face contorted menacingly.

And just as he was about to say something more.

“You don’t believe me? That this is a bomb.”

Jinhyeok handed over another cookie tin.

“This will explode in one minute. Go into the Tower and check it out.”

Grind.

Xiao Chen clenched his teeth and took the cookie tin.

Then Xiao Chen disappeared into the Tower.

Jingyan looked at Jinhyeok with a pale face.

The bomb wasn’t frightening.

But Xiao Chen, who would be angry because of that action, was frightening.

Not long after, Xiao Chen reappeared.

“You crazy bastard brought this kind of thing on the plane!! Do you really want to die!!”

He grabbed Jinhyeok by the collar in excitement.

He couldn’t help it.

The cookie tin that had just exploded inside the Tower.

Its power was truly tremendous.

Enough to easily obliterate this private jet and more.

“Since you’ve grabbed my collar, Lijiang won’t do. Let’s go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.”

“I’ll kill you right now…”

“You told me earlier, didn’t you? To understand the situation well. I’ll return those exact words to you. It’ll explode if I die, and it’ll explode when time runs out. So.”

Jinhyeok lightly drew a circle with his finger.

“Turn the plane to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Oh, and bring me my phone. I want to check the map to see if we’re going properly. Otherwise…”

A smile formed on Jinhyeok’s lips.

“Should I detonate it?”
