Only I Have Two Towers Episode 072

Jumping Right Off

A heavy silence settled over the private jet.

It wasn’t as chaotic as before, but the situation hadn’t calmed down.

The cookie tin was still stuck to the ceiling.

However, if there was one thing that had changed, it was the aircraft’s route.

The private jet was flying toward Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as Jinhyeok had demanded.

Xiao Chen sat with his arms crossed, glaring at Jinhyeok.

Normally, he would have lightly ignored it and smashed his head into the wall.

But he couldn’t do that.

Those eyes that glinted with a subtle, flickering madness.

Xiao Chen knew this type of person well.

Crazy bastards who would actually do what they said they’d do.

That kid hadn’t attached the bomb just for threats.

If his demands weren’t met, he would really detonate it.

“Kid.”

“Yes?”

“Do you think you’ll be safe after doing this to me?”

“Yes.”

Jinhyeok answered so nonchalantly.

He wasn’t even angry anymore.

“If you think the advantage from this situation will last forever, you’re mistaken. The moment we get off this plane, that bomb won’t be any problem.”

“We’re on the plane right now. And besides, you not only deceived me into boarding but also tried to make me sign that contract, so let’s call it self-defense.”

He almost shouted.

What kind of self-defense involved installing bombs on a private jet just because things didn’t go your way?

Jinhyeok checked the direction on his map app and looked up.

Then he looked back and forth between Jingyan and Xiao Chen.

“Is there no WiFi by any chance?”

He wasn’t asking to be cheeky.

The KakaoTalk messages and missed calls that had piled up while his phone was confiscated.

He felt he should contact Se-yeon and Jin Yun-ho who were probably worried.

“The Korean Air Business I was supposed to take also had in-flight WiFi service.”

There was no way such a nice private jet wouldn’t have it.

Xiao Chen, who had been staring dumbfounded, waved his hand.

From that moment, data started connecting.

‘Oh shit.’

What he had just checked was only a fraction.

KakaoTalk messages began piling up as if they had been waiting.

Somehow Jin Seo-yeon and Yoo Su-yeon had also sent messages.

# I’m fine, so you don’t need to worry.

He copied this message and sent it to everyone.

As soon as he sent it, the ‘1’ disappeared and a voice call came in.

“Hello.”

The security guards flinched, but Xiao Chen shook his head saying it was fine.

# What are you doing calmly saying hello! Where are you right now?

The audio quality was a bit choppy but at a level where conversation was possible.

As expected of a private jet, excellent WiFi.

“I’m on someone named Xiao Chen’s private jet right now. He said he’d take me to my destination, so I got on.”

# Mr. Yoo Jin-hyeok?! This is Jin Yun-ho! Are you okay?! Has anything happened to your safety?!

“Yes, I’m completely safe. This is my first time on a private jet and it’s nice.”

Xiao Chen’s eyebrows twitched.

What the hell was this kid?

He could have easily sent out a rescue request.

Though the kidnapped person himself seemed to have no intention of doing so.

“There’s no problem at all. Oh, there is one thing.”

# There is?!

“We have to fly for quite a while but they’re not giving me food. The business class I had reserved included in-flight meals and snacks.”

No answer came from the other side.

The data hadn’t cut out.

They had just lost words because the problem was too absurd.

“I’ll have a good trip and come back. See you in Korea.”

# No, wait a minute. Uh… what should we do?

It seemed they couldn’t decide whether it was okay to end the call like this or not.

“If the scenery is nice, I’ll send you photos sometimes. Thank you for worrying about me. I’ll hang up now.”

Only after ending the call did Jinhyeok notice that everyone’s attention was focused on him.

Jinhyeok shrugged and casually started browsing the web.

Sweat ran down Xiao Chen’s back.

After seeing that behavior, he was certain.

‘He’s crazy.’

The vast landmass of the continent, China.

China also had them occasionally.

Guys who claimed to be the representative madmen of their region.

He thought Jinhyeok in front of him might be Korea’s representative crazy bastard.

Xiao Chen let out a deep sigh that seemed to make the ground cave in.

“Jingyan.”

“Yes.”

“Bring him some food. And get me a drink too.”

“Understood.”

At this point, he had no choice but to admit it.

He had picked up something seriously troublesome.

“You are a Runner. Judging by how much fuss the Hunter Bureau people made just because you got on my private jet.”

“Do you know Team Leader Jin Yun-ho?”

“This isn’t the first time I’ve taken a Korean Player. He called and growled at me every time. The woman you called Se-yeon, don’t tell me she’s that Holy Knight?”

“Oh? You know a lot.”

Xiao Chen clicked his tongue lightly.

“Weren’t you in a position where you had to hide the fact that you’re a Runner?”

“If possible.”

“But you’re relaxed even though I found out.”

Jinhyeok smiled.

When he first started climbing the Tower, he had tried to hide his identity at all costs.

With a level below 10 and proportionally low stats, all he had was the basic swordsmanship of the Black Knight Order.

It was a time when he had no choice but to rely entirely on Seira if anything happened.

But now the situation had changed a lot.

Kancheo and Dark, Momo and Ellia had joined the party.

There was still a long way to go, but Jinhyeok’s power had also risen incomparably from back then.

He had no intention of groveling to forcibly avoid even the unavoidable.

‘Oh.’

Jinhyeok’s eyes lit up.

Just as an awkward atmosphere was about to flow, the in-flight meal appeared.

It was full of delicacies that looked expensive at first glance.

How dare you hold out on me when you had something this good.

“I’ll eat well.”

It wasn’t just empty words.

Xiao Chen clicked his tongue as Jinhyeok really began eating heartily.

What kind of brain structure must one have to be able to swallow food in this situation?

“Eat plenty. It might be your last meal.”

“Yes.”

Without a care, he moved his fork continuously.

Poke poke poke poke.

Kancheo diligently poking his leg from under the chair.

He should give him something since he’d smuggled the bomb into his bag, but it wasn’t easy with Xiao Chen constantly watching.

Swish swish.

Occasionally timing it right, he slipped chunks of meat under the table.

Kancheo quickly caught and ate them.

While Jinhyeok and Kancheo worked together to demolish the in-flight meal, a security guard approached Xiao Chen.

“We have them on standby at Lijiang Airport.”

Xiao Chen nodded.

His anger had subsided considerably from earlier.

However, separate from that, he couldn’t just let him go.

Since he’d found out that he was a Runner.

Even if he was going to leave, he’d have to spill everything about how such miraculous climbing was possible before going.

“Phew.”

After quickly finishing the in-flight meal, he leaned back.

Though there was quite a bit, it was somewhat lacking since two of them ate it together.

Xiao Chen, who had been sipping his drink, opened his mouth.

“There’s no place to land a plane at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. So I was thinking we’d go to Lijiang Airport.”

“No. We’ll arrive soon, so please keep going.”

“Don’t you understand? Not being able to land means you can’t get off either.”

“I’ll manage to get off on my own.”

It had been exactly three hours since departing from Incheon Airport.

Through the window, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain covered in snow began to come into view.

Jinhyeok got up from his seat and walked toward the back of the plane.

It was the position where airborne troops typically jumped in war movies.

“Wait, don’t tell me you’re going to…”

Xiao Chen and the security guards, their eyes widening, got up from their seats.

Whether they did or not, Jinhyeok placed his hand on the lever.

“If you touch that…”

Before he could finish speaking, he pulled the lever.

The cargo door began opening with a whooshing sound.

Jinhyeok squinted his eyes at the strong wind seeping in.

‘This is intense.’

For a moment, he almost closed it again and said he’d obediently go to Lijiang Airport.

‘He must have prepared something.’

Giving him the in-flight meal was just reluctant; Xiao Chen had no intention of letting Jinhyeok go.

As such, a bold escape was necessary here.

Gulp.

Swallowing dry saliva, he looked down at Hermes’ Shoes.

‘I’m trusting you.’

After steeling his resolve, he turned around.

People looking at him with expressions that said, “That crazy bastard wouldn’t really…?”

Jinhyeok smiled and waved his hand.

“That thing on the ceiling isn’t a bomb. Well then, bye.”

“You…!!”

The moment he realized it wasn’t a bomb, Xiao Chen kicked off the floor while wreathing himself in his ability.

And he reached out his hand, but.

Whoosh!!

Jinhyeok had already flown away behind him.

‘That fool!!’

The current altitude was ten thousand meters.

It wasn’t a height from which a living being could jump and survive.

Even on this private jet, only Xiao Chen could land safely from this level.

Jumping from such a height meant he would die soon.

But why was it?

He should definitely die. It would be normal for him to die.

Thump.

His heart began beating with a strange anticipation.

Jinhyeok had jumped without a moment’s hesitation.

Somehow, he thought he might survive.

If it was that properly insane lunatic.

They say when you’re too scared, you can’t even scream.

That was how Jinhyeok was now.

‘Though I had no choice, it was excessively bold.’

Reflecting on himself, he used the ability of Hermes’ Shoes.

Instantly, his weight dropped to less than 1 kilogram, giving him a floating sensation.

When he spread his arms and legs wide like a flying squirrel, he felt his fall slow down a bit more.

He was still falling downward, but it was much better than before.

‘Wow.’

Below, the mountain range of snow-covered Jade Dragon Snow Mountain stretched out long.

Even though it was dark at night, it was beautiful enough that the word “spectacular” naturally came to mind.

‘My eyes are going to burst.’

Of course, leisurely appreciation was difficult due to the wind hitting his eyes.

If he’d known this would happen, he should have stolen at least some goggles.

‘Life is truly unpredictable.’

Until recently, he’d been diligently tapping away at his keyboard in the basement, trying to awaken.

And now he was doing bare-body skydiving from an impossibly high place.

Naturally, he decided not to tell anyone about this.

If he told his parents or younger sibling, they’d all say the same thing.

That he was crazy.

It would be the same if he told Cheon Se-yeon or Jin Yun-ho.

‘Why is this fun?’

Even while tears streamed down due to the wind, a smile formed on his lips.

Experiences he never thought he’d be able to have.

Now he finally felt that life was becoming interesting.

Though he’d be too scared to do bare-body skydiving twice if asked, anyway.

How much time had passed since he jumped?

The snow-covered mountain below began getting closer.

Rustle.

Seira manifested at the right timing and caught Jinhyeok with both hands.

Seira wrapped dark energy under her feet and landed just like that.

Kuuuuuung!!

A tremendous roar spread throughout the entire mountain.

From the aftermath of the impact, pure white snow shot up into view.

“Are you okay? Master.”

“Perfectly fine.”

Jinhyeok, who had been carried in a princess carry, gave a thumbs up.

Tears were still flowing, but his body was completely unharmed.

“Thank you, Seira.”

Jinhyeok, who had been set down, stepped foot onto the mountain.

The snow had accumulated so much that if he hadn’t reduced his weight, his feet would have sunk deep with each step.

Standing on one side of the high peak, Jinhyeok took a deep breath.

He had arrived at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
