Chapter 2: Transmigration (2)
“Chairman, we must take precautions. athlete Even if the probability is low, if it really is a Rank A gate, we won’t be able to contain it with the forces currently assigned to us!”
Of course, he had to agree.
Jin Myeonghak nodded.
Seo Jiyeong adjusted the folder of documents in her arms.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘But paying fifteen billion won is insane.’
After all, it was obvious that the gate would eventually go out of control.
“Rejected.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“But human lives are at stake!”
“It costs too much money.”
“…Chairman.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Seo Jiyeong’s voice rose involuntarily.
None other than Jin Myeonghak, the Association Chairman known as a genuine tyrant.
Immediately after uttering those words, she realized whom she had just challenged.
However, she wasn’t willing to take back her words.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Myeonghak sighed inwardly.
Because she firmly believed she was doing the right thing.
Come on, had he said they should let people die?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Besides, he had an alternative.
He simply didn’t like that contract, which demanded an upfront payment of fifteen billion won regardless of whether the hunters ended up fighting or not.
Three Rank A hunters or one Rank S hunter.
It wasn’t that he minded spending money to evacuate residents, block roads, or deploy medical personnel to the scene.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
And sitting in that very room was one of the most powerful Rank S hunters in all of South Korea.
That way, he could save at least fifteen billion won.
Jin Myeonghak himself.
‘Wouldn’t it be enough if I simply went myself?’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Organizations worked like that surprisingly often.
Simply because he had never done it before.
He could imagine why.
However, nowhere in the report was the possibility of the Association Chairman personally going there even considered.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
He knew this body was powerful.
However, there was still something that worried him.
There didn’t need to be a logical reason to rule out an option. adjust If something had never been done before, it simply wasn’t done.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
But would he really be able to use that power?
When he directed his consciousness toward the area below his navel, he sensed a dense, heavy energy.
Jin Myeonghak remained silent for a moment and steadied his breathing.
He needed to find out.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Oh, so this is internal energy?’
It was a completely new sensation, but for some reason, he had a vague idea of how he was supposed to move it.
And then.
He circulated a small amount of that energy toward his hand.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
A mixture of wood dust and metal began falling between his fingers.
Crack.
When Jin Myeonghak looked down, he discovered that the armrest of his chair had disappeared.
Something crumbled beneath his palm. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

Because, as he stared at the destroyed armrest, a memory from the synchronization belatedly surfaced in his mind.
However, his admiration didn’t last very long.
He really was strong.
Wow.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
What kind of chair was that?
A custom-made chair crafted by an Italian artisan who had spent six whole months making it.
Its price was around forty million won.

Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘…Would it be possible to buy just the armrest?’
‘…Shit. academy It’s barely my first day, and I’ve already destroyed forty million won.’
Of course not.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Then he heard a sharp intake of breath in front of him.
“Ah…!”
Jin Myeonghak’s brow furrowed involuntarily.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘What’s wrong with her?’
The woman was staring fixedly at his hand.
More specifically, at the last particles of metallic dust falling between his fingers.
When he raised his head, he discovered that Seo Jiyeong had gone completely pale.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
First, he had rejected the proposed measures.
Then, his secretary had attempted to protest.
He tried to reconstruct the situation from her perspective.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘…Well, I suppose she has reason to be frightened.’
And in response, he had reduced part of his chair to dust while frowning.
Jin Myeonghak parted his lips slightly.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Immediately.
He had to explain himself.
However, before he could do so, Seo Jiyeong’s knees gave way.
“I apologize, Chairman. airport I was insolent enough to speak out of turn. acid I will accept whatever punishment you consider appropriate for my behavior. advance However, I beg you to reconsider the matter of the Hyehwa-dong gate. athlete At the very least, we must issue an evacuation order.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Her expression was so solemn that she seemed prepared to die.
“Even if we can’t secure combat forces immediately, we can still evacuate the civilians. ability I beg you to at least allow us to do that.”
“No, wait…”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
She was practically the image of a loyal subject risking her life to offer one final piece of sincere advice to a tyrant.
It was a misunderstanding.
‘No, please, don’t do this!’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
However, at that instant, the movement technique ingrained in his body activated reflexively.
Jin Myeonghak hurriedly rose from his seat, intending to help Seo Jiyeong to her feet.
A complete misunderstanding!
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘This is driving me crazy.’
Crack!
A series of cracks spread out from beneath his shoes, forming a spiderweb-like pattern.
The fractures stopped just before reaching Seo Jiyeong.

How much would it cost to repair that?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Furthermore, she was also a promising candidate to become a Rank S hunter.
Who was Seo Jiyeong?
She was currently his secretary, but in the future, she would become the informant who exposed his activities from within the Association.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
There was absolutely nothing good about making someone like her regard him as a “tyrant incapable of listening to reason.”
‘All right. arcade I’m going to apologize.’
If they maintained a good relationship, perhaps someday she might even put in a good word for him in front of Lee Hanseong.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
I had simply lost control of my strength.
I hadn’t meant to frighten her.
The quickest way to resolve a misunderstanding was to offer a sincere apology.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
I would authorize the evacuation, so she could leave.

That was all I needed to say.
I was very sorry.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Thank you very much.”
“Fine! arctic I’ll authorize the evacuation, so get out of here!”
‘Huh?’
The words that came out of my mouth were completely different from what I had intended to say.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’ll begin preparations immediately!”
Seo Jiyeong bowed her head deeply.
After getting to her feet, Seo Jiyeong quickly left the office.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
[You have selected “Intervene.”]
That was when a message appeared in a corner of his field of vision.
“No, wait. arch This isn’t what I wanted…”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘What? arena Her loyalty increased after all that?’
[Heavenly Mandate points will be calculated according to the outcome of the incident.]
[Seo Jiyeong’s loyalty has increased slightly.]
Although his words had been quite aggressive, perhaps he had managed to convey his intentions correctly after all?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
She leaned against the hallway wall, breathing heavily.
As soon as the office door closed, Seo Jiyeong’s legs began to tremble.
***
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Her heart was pounding so violently that it felt as though it might burst out of her chest.
Cold sweat ran down her back.
“Pant, pant…”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘I wouldn’t even have had a chance to resist.’
The Association Chairman had reduced a chair to dust simply by closing his hand.
What would have happened if that power had been directed at her?
And when he stood up, the marble floor cracked.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
She wanted to protect people and contribute, even if only a little, to building a better world.
However, she had managed to get out of there completely unharmed.
Seo Jiyeong had joined the Hunter Association full of dreams and aspirations.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Of course, she had heard countless disturbing rumors about Jin Myeonghak.
However, she believed it was wrong to judge someone based solely on rumors.
And that conviction had borne some fruit.
She had believed that if she tried to persuade him with enough sincerity, perhaps she could get through to him, even if only a little. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

“Well, well! afford If it isn’t our dear Seo Jiyeong! riddle So you managed to walk out of there on your own two feet?”
That was when a carefree voice echoed from the other end of the hallway.
A man with carefully slicked-back hair, dressed in an expensive designer suit, approached.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“…Director.”
Although he officially held the position of Director of Security Strategy, in practice, he also served as the Association Chairman’s chief of staff.
It was Tak Sanggu, Director of the Association’s Security Strategy Office and Seo Jiyeong’s direct superior.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Judging by that expression, it looks like you got a good scolding. acquire What did I tell you? attic I warned you that going in there wouldn’t do you any good, didn’t I? alert And to think I’m giving you all this advice as someone with more life experience. galaxy This advice is worth its weight in gold!”
Tak Sanggu clicked his tongue.
“…What strategy?”
“Well, at least my strategy worked.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
That was precisely why Seo Jiyeong had ended up meeting alone with the Association Chairman despite being a newly hired employee.
“Come on, it was obvious the Chairman was in a bad mood. accent Why would I go in there too? atlas If someone was going to get scolded anyway, what was the point of both of us having to endure it? canvas That would’ve been completely inefficient!”
That man had sent her straight into the lion’s den because he didn’t want to get scolded.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
And someone like that was the director in charge of South Korea’s national security?

Seo Jiyeong couldn’t help but sigh.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Human lives are at stake.”
“So, what did the Chairman say about hiring those Americans?”
“Seriously, Miss Seo Jiyeong, as righteous and noble as ever. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. antenna What kind of reward do you expect to get by behaving like that…? atomic Tsk, tsk.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“He rejected the proposal.”
“But if there’s even a possibility that a disaster might occur…”
“Here we go again! palette Then how about we send out an emergency alert? abstract Attention, everyone! legend Evacuate Hyehwa-dong immediately because there’s danger! echo Everybody out! aluminum You love emergency alerts, don’t you, Seo Jiyeong? academy Come on, let’s send one right now! antique What do you think?”
“See? advance From the beginning, a Rank C gate should’ve been treated as a Rank C gate. auction You’re just making unnecessary trouble for yourself.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“What do you mean, perfect?! arctic Who’s going to take responsibility if nothing ends up happening? arcade You’re new, so you won’t have to answer for it, but I will!”
“And what happens if the gate really does go out of control?”
“I think that would be perfect.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Why the hell did Tak Sanggu have to be like this?
Seo Jiyeong bit her lips hard.
“Then it’ll be a tragedy. aluminum Tragedies happen constantly in this world. atom How are we supposed to save everyone? arch That’s God’s responsibility, not our Association’s! harbor We simply do what we can, collect our salaries on time, and that’s it. arch Understood?”
Even the Association Chairman had been capable of listening to her.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“It’s true!”
The Chairman Jin Myeonghak that Tak Sanggu knew was certainly not someone willing to take responsibility.
“What did you say? atomic An evacuation order? aspect Are you sure you didn’t mishear him?”
“By the way, the Chairman ordered us to issue an evacuation order.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Well, perhaps he understood that my words were sincere.”
“But… how did you manage that?”
Unlike a certain someone who only thought about saving his own skin.
And now that man had made a decision that meant personally taking responsibility for the consequences?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
And from within emerged a figure whose shadow seemed particularly imposing.
That was when the office door suddenly swung open.
Of course, she kept that last part to herself.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Seo Jiyeong also lowered her head respectfully.
It was Jin Myeonghak.
Tak Sanggu bent forward in a ninety-degree bow.
“Chairman! riddle What a pleasure to see you!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“…”
A suffocating silence took over the hallway.
Jin Myeonghak’s gaze settled on both of them.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, yes! antenna Tak Sanggu, Director of Security Strategy, at your service! aluminum What measures would you like me to take? beacon Would you like me to order her to write a formal letter of apology, or would you prefer that I reduce her salary…?”
“Chairman! ability I was just giving Seo Jiyeong a severe reprimand! riddle How dare she overstep her authority and contradict you in such a manner! admire Since she’s only recently joined us, she still doesn’t fully understand her responsibilities. adapt I beg you to be generous enough to forgive her! altitude I’ll personally make sure to teach her a proper lesson so she learns how to behave! arcade Honestly, I don’t know where she’s left her common sense! action This is precisely the problem with young people from the MZ generation!”
Tak Sanggu began breaking out in a cold sweat before opening his mouth.
“Director Tak.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Hyehwa-dong.”
“Ah, understood! apron What will our destination be…?”
“Prepare the car.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
There was no way he intended to personally inspect the site.
Why did he suddenly want to go to Hyehwa-dong?
Hyehwa-dong?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Physical punishment.
Then only one possibility remained.
On a previous occasion, the Chairman had tied an employee to the back of a car and forced him to run behind it.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
Although the Chairman himself had insisted on calling it “physical training.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
That meant Tak Sanggu could also end up tied up alongside Seo Jiyeong.

The problem was that when he did those kinds of things, he sometimes also held superiors responsible for failing to properly control their subordinates.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Good. anxiety We’ll leave for Hyehwa-dong in two hours, so prepare everything.”
“Understood!”
That was good news.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
After all, Hyehwa-dong was practically next to Gwanghwamun, where the Association’s headquarters was located.
‘Well, I think I can handle that.’
“Ah, and one more thing, Tak Sanggu.”
“Understood!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“…Excuse me?”
“Yes, Chairman!”
“Take good care of Seo Jiyeong. galaxy Don’t be too hard on her. portal If she makes a mistake, explain things to her patiently instead of constantly scolding her. apple Understood?”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Y-yes!”
“It seems there was a small misunderstanding earlier.”
Then Jin Myeonghak turned to Seo Jiyeong.
“And you, Secretary Seo.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“…Seo Jiyeong.”
After saying those words, Jin Myeonghak disappeared back into his office.
The door closed, and silence returned to the hallway.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
The Jin Myeonghak that Tak Sanggu knew was a capricious tyrant.
“Did I hear that wrong?”
“Yes, Director.”
Although it wouldn’t be surprising for him to do just about anything, even within his chaotic behavior, certain rules existed.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“What do you mean by a technique?”
But had he just admitted that there had been a misunderstanding?
“The Chairman never says things like that. wizard It seems he’s changed a little.”
“That’s a technique he’s never used before.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Exactly. apple That’s why, for us, it’s bad news. orbit It means the Chairman has added another technique to his repertoire.”
“And wouldn’t it be a good sign if he’d changed?”
“…Well, I wouldn’t exactly be happy.”
“Seo Jiyeong, imagine you’re fighting someone you’ve already faced several times, and suddenly, he uses a completely new technique. athlete Would you be happy or worried?”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Of course.”
Perhaps the Chairman really had changed a little.
“Do you really consider that a technique?”
Although there was another possibility, however small.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
The probability was low.
Or perhaps Seo Jiyeong possessed something he didn’t know about.
Perhaps around five percent.
However, Tak Sanggu wasn’t willing to dismiss that possibility.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Really?”
“Ah, Seo Jiyeong, from now on, you can speak to me comfortably, without so many formalities.”
When it came to his own career advancement, he couldn’t afford to ignore even the slightest opportunity.
‘The Chairman clearly told me to take good care of her, didn’t he?’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
“Of course, of course! riddle Think of me as your own older brother and speak to me as casually as you like.”
Had she really started speaking informally to him immediately after he gave her permission?
“Thinking of you as my older brother seems a bit much. voyage But all right, then I’ll speak more casually with you from now on.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 2: Transmigration (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Is this what young people from the MZ generation are like?’
