Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2)
First, he had said he didn’t need escort vehicles and had ordered them withdrawn.
At Jin Myeonghak’s order, Tak Sanggu’s mind began working frantically once again.
“…Excuse me? album Do you mean absolutely everyone?”
“Exactly. beacon Summon everyone except the external mercenaries.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
However, who was Tak Sanggu?
At first glance, those orders seemed completely contradictory.
But now he wanted to gather all available personnel from headquarters in Hyehwa-dong?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
A sudden revelation struck him, like a monk who had just attained enlightenment.
A crisis of this magnitude was nothing he couldn’t handle.
A man who had overcome countless difficulties to rise to the position of Director of Security Strategy.
‘…Ah!’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
There was no way the Chairman would be satisfied with a miserable procession of a few cars following him like ducklings.
The ceremonial protocol!
He imagined the scene that would unfold when they arrived in Hyehwa-dong.
Exactly!
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Only a reception of such magnitude would be worthy of the dignity of the Chairman of the Hunter Association of South Korea!
The instant the car door opened and the Chairman set foot on the ground, they would all bow simultaneously and greet him with voices so thunderous that they would shake heaven and earth.
Hundreds of Association employees perfectly lined up on both sides of the road.

Tak Sanggu immediately took out his phone.
‘How shortsighted I’ve been.’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
That was an extraordinary mobilization order normally issued only during a situation approaching a state of war or when a national emergency was declared.
[Tak Sanggu: Seo Jiyeong, we have an emergency. portal Gather all available personnel from headquarters in Hyehwa-dong.]
Mobilize all available personnel?
Seo Jiyeong’s eyes widened as she read the message.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
The Chairman had taken that five percent probability she had told him about seriously.
Since it was practically impossible that a foreign power had invaded the country, only one explanation remained.
‘I knew it. galaxy The Chairman isn’t like the rumors say.’
He hadn’t overlooked that possibility.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Behind those dry, cutting words lay a genuine sense of responsibility.
A man willing to shoulder all responsibility while everyone else tried to protect themselves.
However, he was completely different from those hypocrites who delivered wonderful speeches while caring only about their own interests.
It was true that his manner of speaking was blunt and rather harsh.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Seo Jiyeong felt a deep emotion welling up in her chest.
If only he showed a little more of his true feelings, surely such terrible rumors wouldn’t circulate about him.
A true leader who acted without hesitation when the safety of citizens was at stake.
A leader capable of understanding the essence of a newly hired secretary’s words and listening to her sincere advice.

However, there was something that worried her.
‘…Could he actually be a bit of a tsundere?’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
[Seo Jiyeong: Everyone right now? altitude But why?]
Then why mobilize all personnel immediately?
[Tak Sanggu: But why? arcade Seo Jiyeong, I told you that you could speak to me casually, but it seems you’ve taken that a little too seriously.]
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Seo Jiyeong suppressed an incredulous chuckle.
[Tak Sanggu: Ah, yes, that’s true. armor I did say that. adapt Very well. orbit Keep up that bold attitude. matrix I love how straightforward and uninhibited you are.]
At first, she had thought Tak Sanggu was one of those old-fashioned, authoritarian superiors, but it seemed that, after all, he was someone who could be reasoned with.
[Seo Jiyeong: But you yourself told me earlier to treat you with the same familiarity as my older brother.]
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Seo Jiyeong frowned as she stared at the screen.
‘…A ceremonial reception?’
[Seo Jiyeong: Understood!]
[Tak Sanggu: Well, putting that aside, why do you think he needs so many people? armor Obviously, he wants a much grander ceremonial reception. canvas You know the Chairman’s style. wizard He can’t stand being made to look ridiculous.]
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
How could Tak Sanggu have served the Association Chairman for so many years and still not understand his true nature?
There was no way the Chairman was thinking about something like that.
Where had that suddenly come from?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
[Seo Jiyeong: …Come on, that can’t be it. apron Surely he gave the order because the situation at the site is urgent.]
[Seo Jiyeong: Yes, yes. shadow I memorized them. athlete Always address him as “Mr. audit Chairman” instead of simply “Association Chairman.” portal Never offer him a handshake first. anxiety Don’t maintain direct eye contact for more than three seconds…]
‘Could it be that he doesn’t know how to read situations?’
[Tak Sanggu: What do you mean, that can’t be it?! admire The problem is that you still don’t know the Chairman very well. album Stop arguing and gather everyone! antique From the administrative staff at headquarters to the assault units, the maintenance team, and the cleaning staff! auction And call the mayor of Jongno District immediately! galaxy Tell him that the Association Chairman will be coming personally and that he must prepare an appropriate reception. echo Do you remember the protocol rules I taught you?]
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
‘Seriously, he’s so dramatic…’
[Tak Sanggu: Tsk! alien Have you lost your mind?! apple How could you put all that in writing in a message?! acoustic Don’t you know what confidentiality means?! action Do you want to disappear without a trace?!]
Seo Jiyeong let out a soft sigh as she read Tak Sanggu’s response.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Even now, at first glance, the atmosphere didn’t seem too different.
Marronnier Park, Hyehwa-dong.
Normally, it was a lively place frequented by aspiring actors handing out theater flyers and young people waiting to meet their friends or romantic partners.

Both the temporary fences and the container’s exterior walls were carelessly surrounded by tape reading “NO ENTRY.”
Inside it was the Hyehwa-dong gate.
With the exception of a gray container installed at one end of the park.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
And from inside that structure, shouting could be heard.
Next to it stood a two-story container structure serving as a temporary operations center.
The fact that people continued strolling leisurely just a few meters away from a gate was a demonstration of the lack of safety awareness that had spread throughout that society.

A man with long, disheveled hair, crooked thick-framed glasses, and a worn-out jacket slammed his fist violently against the desk.
“Chief Park! alert Please take a proper look at these figures! atom This is no time to keep talking about manuals and procedures!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
It was Ma Donghak, Director of the Korean Hunter Wave Research Institute.
The device’s needle was pointing toward a red zone.
The man placed a crude-looking device in front of the person he was addressing.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, yes. avalanche I heard you perfectly well, Director.”
Park Munseong, Chief of the Gate Safety Department of the Jongno District Office, responded with little interest.
“The waves are experiencing completely abnormal fluctuations! acid This isn’t the usual frequency of a Rank C gate! arena There’s an extremely high probability that it’ll rise to Rank A or higher! atomic Furthermore, if we look at its cycles, not only do we not have two weeks left, but it wouldn’t be strange if it went out of control right now!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
“A toy?! shadow This is the MD-1, a device I’ve spent ten years developing! acoustic Its sensitivity for detecting magical energy is fifty times greater than the Association’s official equipment!”
“Then let me see if I understand… You want us to immediately issue an evacuation order in the middle of Seoul, without even having authorization from the district mayor, based solely on that old toy nobody knows where you got?”
“No, Chief Park! airport I’m telling you this is a real emergency! airport This is no joke!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Chief Park responded in a flat voice as he took a sip of coffee.
What mattered were certifications, procedures, and the assignment of responsibility.
As a public official, what really mattered to him wasn’t the performance of that device.
“Ah, of course. shadow Fifty times more sensitive. arctic How impressive. atomic I’m sure your wife is delighted with all that sensitivity.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
“…Excuse me?”
“It’s certified by the American Gate Safety Institute!”
“Then, is your device certified?”
“KO certification. acquire I’m asking whether your equipment has national certification.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
“But I’m telling you it received certification in the United States!”
Chief Park was perfectly familiar with that American institute.
It was one of the most prestigious institutions in the world in gate measurement technology.
“No, I’m not asking about foreign countries. acid I’m asking about Korea. shadow Are we in the United States?”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
“The device passed that institute’s performance tests! alpha I even attached the certificate with the test results right here!”
“No, I’m not asking about foreign countries. autumn I’m asking about Korea. beacon Are we in the United States?”
However, what did that matter?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
After all, just the previous night, he had dined with an executive from a KO certification agency.
The only thing Chief Park needed was the official Korean certification seal. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
“So, in short, it doesn’t have national certification.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
“I’m simply following the rules. arrow If you think this is unfair, get KO certification first. arctic The process should take about five days, so we can talk again then.”
Some people might call that collusion or corruption, but working exclusively with certified institutions was simply the most efficient way to do things.
“Five days?! canvas The magical energy could go out of control in five minutes, and you expect us to wait five days!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
“Director, you can’t keep asking me to make exceptions. avalanche Do you think South Korea’s public administration operates according to my whims?”
“Human lives are at stake!”
“Yes.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
He bit his lips hard.
Ma Donghak ended up outside the operations center, practically thrown out of the place.
Chief Park glanced at his watch, pretending to be very busy.
“All right, all right. antique If you’ve finished drinking the coffee from our break room, you’d better leave. anchor I’m a busy man too. canvas And next time, please make a formal appointment through the district’s public service office.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
“Ah, Mr. orbit Director! adapt Watch where you step, or the gate might suddenly explode! amber And since you’re heading out, I seriously recommend taking the opportunity to visit a psychiatrist!”
Behind him, he could still hear Chief Park’s mocking remarks.
Once the director had disappeared, Chief Park clicked his tongue inside the operations center.
“Damn it. adapt What a rotten way to start the day. arrow Some lunatic just had to show up and bother me.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Originally, he had planned to wait a little longer to see how the situation developed.
However, with an individual like that causing such a commotion, he thought it would be best to get the problem off his hands as soon as possible and pass it on to another guild.
He needed to arrange a meeting for that evening.
He picked up his phone.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Those were aspects that couldn’t be verified simply by reviewing a few documents.
Of course, for a guild to take charge of that gate, it was essential for the official responsible for the site to conduct a thorough “verification of its qualifications.”
And naturally, it was an unavoidable custom for those thorough interviews to take place in luxurious Japanese restaurants or exclusive nightclubs with private rooms.
It was necessary to check whether the guild had a solid financial position and whether its representative had the proper mindset.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
They would surely be eager to get their hands on the Hyehwa-dong gate.

“Perhaps I should entrust this matter to the Black Bear Guild.”

— Notify the Association immediately!
— W-what the hell is that?!
The screams were coming from outside the container.

“Ah, please… What’s all the fuss about? arctic Seriously, young people these days don’t have a shred of manners.”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.

‘Impossible…! aspect W-why is this happening…?’

But these were red.
That meant the gate had reached at least Rank A.

“H-hiiik…!”

However, Chief Park took out his car keys.

And naturally, the people trapped inside would end up facing the monsters emerging from the gate.

“Argh! amateur Park Munseong! portal You’re the highest-ranking official responsible for this place! harbor Where the hell do you think you’re going?!”
Ma Donghak felt around the floor until he found his broken glasses and put them back on.
Chief Park ignored Ma Donghak and ran out of the building.
“Shut up!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
Documents were flying everywhere, and the employees were too busy gathering their belongings and fleeing outside.

Ma Donghak ran up toward the second-floor container where the broadcasting room was located.
BAM!
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
The problem was that his eyes were entirely unfocused.
“Activate the evacuation announcements immediately! acquire Can’t you see what’s happening outside?!”

He opened the metal door and entered.

“You’re the one in charge! atlas Turn on the microphone!”

Their sense of smell was approximately five thousand times more sensitive than that of human beings.

Accompanied by a grotesque sound, the tank’s upper body disappeared.

“Shit! attic What’s that damn variant doing here?!”
Blood Ogre.
“I-it’s a Blood Ogre!”

At that instant, their fate was practically sealed.

The appearance of such a creature proved that the gate had risen to at least Rank A.

‘Where? advance Where should I go?’

The ogres’ movements seemed suspiciously organized.
Like sheepdogs herding a flock of sheep.
‘It’s a trap!’
Instead of indiscriminately killing everyone they encountered, they roared while driving the crowd in a particular direction.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
However, the terrified crowd didn’t listen to him.

A chill ran down Ma Donghak’s spine.

In front of them was the barrier.
“Move! anchor Get out of the way, you damn idiots!”

Behind them, a horde of ogres.
THUD. atomic THUD. canvas THUD.
They were completely trapped.
Accompanied by powerful vibrations, the ogres began slowly closing in.

Their enormous mouths opened into monstrous smiles.
“Ah… Ahhh…”
People clung to one another, collapsing to the ground as they wept uncontrollably.
“Please, save us… Please…”

All he could do was watch helplessly as those people were about to be massacred before his very eyes.
“Mom…!”
Ma Donghak could do absolutely nothing.
It was a living hell, filled with screams and wails.

She was about five or six years old. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
That was when a little girl trying to escape tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
Unable to get up, she began crying uncontrollably.

It was a futile act.
A woman rushed out from the crowd and, without hesitation, threw herself over the little girl to shield her with her own body.
“No! riddle Ahyeon!”
And one of the ogres approached her.

She clung to a hope as thin as a thread.
With an ogre’s strength, crushing a mother and her daughter into a mass of flesh at the same time would take no effort whatsoever.
However, that mother had chosen to sacrifice herself.

The woman covered the little girl’s ears and squeezed her eyes shut.
A gigantic shadow fell over them both.
‘Please… Please, at least spare my daughter…’
Perhaps, if the monster ate her and was satisfied, it would leave her daughter alone.

He hated himself for his helplessness, for having detected the warning signs and still failing to change absolutely anything.
Ma Donghak also closed his eyes.
And he hated that country, whose administration had done nothing but follow bureaucratic procedures even in the face of an imminent catastrophe.
The people looked away.

A deafening explosion shook the entire roundabout.
BOOOOOOM!!!
It was at that very instant.

However, the bodywork, reinforced through a special magical energy treatment, managed to maintain its structure despite the tremendous collision.
A black limousine smashed through the barrier and shot straight toward the ogre.
Under normal circumstances, a car would have been reduced to an unrecognizable heap of metal after such an impact.
“GRRAAAAGH?!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
On the contrary.
However, the creature didn’t die.
The impact sent the Blood Ogre, which weighed several tons, flying a considerable distance.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
ROOOOOAR!
The ogre let out a thunderous roar.
All they had managed to do was enrage it.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 4: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (2) by Indra Translations.
A man calmly stepped out of the vehicle.
As though responding to that roar, the dented limousine’s rear door opened.
Someone who recognized his figure murmured.

The most powerful man in South Korea had made his appearance.
Jin Myeonghak.
“I-it’s Jin Myeonghak…”
