Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3)
And martial-type hunters, who possessed no special supernatural abilities but trained their bodies to the limit and used magical energy.
Magic-type hunters, capable of controlling elements such as fire and ice.
The hunters of this world were mainly divided into three categories.
Supernatural-type hunters, who used extraordinary powers such as telekinesis or bodily transformation.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Jin Myeonghak was a martial-type hunter, publicly known as the Fist King.
Martial-type hunters followed a path quite similar to the martial arts found in murim novels.
“Chairman! orbit A Dungeon Break is occurring right in front of us!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
The rules of that barrier were simple.
A gigantic red dome covered the sky above Daehangno.
Jin Myeonghak looked out the car window.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
“Chairman, should we wait for reinforcements? adapt The first unit will take approximately five minutes to arrive.”
Of course, no one in their right mind would voluntarily enter such a hell.
Normally, it was an unwritten rule that the Association Chairman didn’t personally participate in situations like that.
Those inside couldn’t leave until the dungeon was cleared, but it was possible to enter from outside.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
However.
After all, the cliché was for the Chairman to simply give orders from the rear.
What kinds of things could happen inside during those five minutes?
Five minutes.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
“I’m telling you to drive through the barrier.”
“Step on the accelerator.”
“Excuse me?”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
VROOOOOOM!
Tak Sanggu squeezed his eyes shut and stepped on the accelerator.
The twelve-cylinder engine roared.
The black limousine passed through the barrier and entered the Hyehwa-dong roundabout.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
An ordinary car would have been crushed like a sheet of paper after such an impact.
BOOOOOOM!
And without slowing down, it headed straight toward the ogre that was about to attack a mother and her daughter.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
CRASH!
Then the rear door opened.
However, the limousine, equipped with special armor, withstood the collision and sent the ogre flying through the air like a bowling pin.
Whitish smoke began rising from the dented hood.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
The person who stepped out of the vehicle was a young man.
And he maintained a completely calm expression, not even blinking at the presence of the ogre. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com
He wore an immaculate designer suit without a single speck of dust on it.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
A Rank A gate.
This was a catastrophe that couldn’t be resolved simply by adding one more hunter to the available forces.
And furthermore, its danger level had increased considerably because of the Dungeon Break.
However, the situation changed completely if that hunter was Jin Myeonghak, the most powerful man in South Korea.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
“It’s Chairman Jin Myeonghak! arcade It’s really him! airport We’re saved!”
“I-it’s Jin Myeonghak…!”
“What’s the Association Chairman doing here…?!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
But for its own Chairman to personally charge into the scene was something completely extraordinary.

It was already unusual for the Association to arrive in time for an emergency.
The people who had fallen into despair began stirring with excitement.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Tak Sanggu shared that exact doubt.
“But wait… Did the Association Chairman really come all the way here in person…?”
Someone murmured.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
During the years he had worked under Jin Myeonghak, he had never seen him personally intervene in an operation.
Then what the hell was wrong with him today?
He had always limited himself to lifting a finger from the rear to give orders.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
There wasn’t a single part left intact.
While everyone’s eyes were focused on Jin Myeonghak, Jin Myeonghak himself had his eyes on something else.
‘No, wait, shit. aluminum Doesn’t this mean the car is a total loss…?’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
‘But why the hell did that lunatic Tak Sanggu have to crash the car into an ogre?!’
It was the expensive wine he had planned to drink after work.
A red liquid was dripping from beneath the dented door.
I’d ordered him to enter the barrier, not run over a monster!
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
At least the entrance had been spectacular.
And it couldn’t be said that everything had gone badly.
However, what was done was done. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
‘But wait… Doesn’t that car cost more than a billion won…?’
And for a politician, few things were as important as putting on a good show.
My stomach hurt at the thought that I’d caused such a financial loss on my very first day after transmigrating.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
“Grrrrrr…”
However, with so many people watching me, I couldn’t allow my emotions to show on my face.
So I pretended to be completely calm and fixed my gaze on the ogre that was beginning to get up.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
The ogre was absolutely furious.
THUD! aspect THUD!
How dare a miserable human interrupt its mealtime?!
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
If it went to a hospital for a medical certificate, perhaps they’d prescribe about three hours of recovery.
Watching it, I confirmed that, just as I’d expected, it hadn’t suffered any significant injuries.
The ogre began running toward me.
ROOOOOAR!
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
An ordinary person would probably have wet themselves.
A creature the size of a small building was charging straight toward me.
However, strangely enough, I didn’t feel the slightest fear.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Without taking one hand out of my pocket, I raised my right hand slightly.
The body of a Rank S superhuman who had undergone a complete physical transformation.
That creature was weak.
The instincts engraved into every one of its cells were telling me something.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
In murim novels, didn’t they call this the Finger Flick Divine Art?
VROOOM…
I brought my middle finger and thumb together and made the motion of snapping my fingers.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Extremely dense internal energy flowed through my meridians.
Internal energy began rising from the depths of my dantian.
All that energy concentrated into a single tiny point at my fingertips.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
And then I fired it toward the ogre’s head.

BOOOOOOM!
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
And the head of the ogre charging toward me disappeared.
Blood and brains sprayed across the surroundings like rain as the decapitated monster collapsed lifelessly.
A thunderous noise resembling a cannon blast shook the entire roundabout.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
When the gigantic creature hit the ground, absolute silence enveloped the roundabout.
THUUUD!
The people couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
That was the terrifying Blood Ogre that had massacred an entire unit of hunters.
“WAAAAAAAAH!!!”
The moment they understood what had happened.
Yet it had just died with its head blown apart by a simple snap of the fingers.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
“We’re saved!”
“Chairman! audit Long live Chairman Jin Myeonghak!”
“The ogre…! amateur He killed it with a single snap of his fingers!”
“Long live the Association Chairman!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
‘Phew, I suppose that wasn’t too bad?’
I let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
Cheers of jubilation erupted, mingling the joy of having survived with admiration for such utterly overwhelming power.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
In reality, although the Finger Flick Divine Art seemed like a simple technique, it was an advanced skill that consumed an enormous amount of internal energy. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
A simple snap of the fingers or a punch straight to the face?
And after using it, I realized it was quite inefficient.
If you thought about it logically, which was more powerful?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Naturally, a punch had to be much stronger.
Because it was spectacular.
However, there was only one reason I’d used that technique.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Until just moments earlier, that Blood Ogre had demonstrated absolutely overwhelming power.
Ma Donghak, who had witnessed that entire scene, felt a chill run through his body.
Perhaps because this body’s instincts were completely dominated by the desire to show off, I’d unconsciously ended up resorting to a flashy technique.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
But there was something even more surprising.
However, now its head had exploded from a simple snap of the fingers, with such ease that it seemed less difficult than twisting a small child’s wrist.
‘Is this… really the level of power a human being can attain?’
After all, the fact that Jin Myeonghak was extraordinarily powerful was already common knowledge.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
There wasn’t a single citizen who didn’t know that.
The Chairman of the South Korean Hunter Association, a master of the Transformation Realm known as the Fist King.
However, positive opinions about him were limited exclusively to his abilities as a martial artist.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
A tyrant who cared only about his own interests, suspended the licenses of hunters he disliked, and lived surrounded by luxury at the taxpayers’ expense.
His personality had a terrible reputation.
Then why was the Association Chairman, known for being a tyrant, here?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Had he suddenly decided to reform himself?
No.
Had he arrived in Hyehwa-dong purely by coincidence?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
The Association Chairman had always been this kind of person.
There was only one possibility.
None of those explanations made sense.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Slander propagated by powerful interest groups and the corrupt board of directors to destroy the reputation of Jin Myeonghak, a true reformer.

All the negative rumors about Jin Myeonghak must have been fake news spread for political reasons.
‘Could it be… that the media and powerful elites have been deceiving us?’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Ma Donghak hurriedly looked around.
However, this was no time to get carried away by admiration.
Upon realizing this, Ma Donghak felt a burning emotion rise from the depths of his chest.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
And new creatures continued emerging from the red rift.
To close the gate, it was necessary to eliminate the boss monster that had to be somewhere inside.
The situation was far from over.
Monsters were still roaming the streets.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
No matter how powerful Jin Myeonghak was, there were physical limits.
Even if he could kill all those monsters by himself, he wouldn’t be able to simultaneously protect the civilians who would die during the fighting.
However, the Blood Ogres visible in the surrounding area alone already numbered several dozen.
In the end, it seemed inevitable that there would be an enormous number of casualties.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
The doors opened, and numerous agents dressed in black suits began stepping out of the vehicles.
SCREEEECH!
That was when.
Dozens of black sedans and vans passed through the barrier and skidded into the area.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Then someone stepped forward to stand in front of them.
Faced with this completely unexpected situation, the agents seemed somewhat confused.
They were Association agents.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
It was Tak Sanggu, Director of Security Strategy.
“Director! This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. sphere What the hell is going on?! arctic You told us this was supposed to be a ceremonial reception…!”
“D-Director!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Tak Sanggu slowly swept his gaze over the surroundings.
And his mind began working frantically once again.
He was a genuine expert at claiming credit and orchestrating spectacles.
Tak Sanggu hadn’t risen to his current position through sheer luck.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Once again, his mind instinctively found the answer.
For that reason, his career as a public official and his talent for showmanship were practically inseparable.
Even when two people performed exactly the same work, the recognition they received could be completely different depending on who presented the report, when they did so, and how they presented it.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
However, during a catastrophe, what mattered wasn’t who was more powerful.
A level of strength capable of shaking heaven and earth.
What mattered were the numbers.
The power Chairman Jin Myeonghak was demonstrating was extraordinary.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
The moment that figure reached three digits, the incident would be considered a tragedy, regardless of what they had done.
[Hyehwa-dong Dungeon Break: ○○ casualties.]
But what would happen if the number was small?
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
The exact same incident would become a “miraculous response that managed to minimize casualties.”
The people lying bloodied in the alleyways.
The people trapped beneath the rubble.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Most of them didn’t even know how to fight.
For every life they managed to save from that moment onward, the figure appearing in the news would decrease by one.
Administrative personnel, employees from the General Affairs Department, and facility maintenance workers.
Tak Sanggu turned his gaze toward the agents standing before him.

However, that didn’t matter.
“Attention, all personnel! arch Current situation Code Red! academy From this moment onward, we are commencing the operation! adopt Codename Aegis!”
After all, you didn’t need to have a hunter rank to carry stretchers or clear rubble.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
The shield of Zeus in mythology.
“Yes, sir! acquire Understood!”
Aegis.
“Our objective is not to exterminate the enemy! portal Protecting civilians is our highest priority! arctic Noncombat personnel will primarily assist the injured, while combat units will focus on containing the ogres!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Their mission was to ensure the citizens’ safety and facilitate their evacuation. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Tak Sanggu’s orders were brief and precise.
They were not to attempt to kill the ogres by exposing themselves to unnecessary danger.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
However, they were still Association agents.
Originally, all those agents had been summoned to participate in the Association Chairman’s ceremonial reception.
“Defensive units, to the front! echo Deploy magical energy barriers in front of the roundabout! academy Two layers! acoustic Focus exclusively on defense! attic Rescue team, enter the commercial building at three o’clock first! portal Get the people trapped beneath the rubble out!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
A semitransparent wall appeared in front of them.
The moment they received their orders, they began moving with coordination so perfect that it seemed unbelievable.
Bluish magical energy poured from the hands of the agents specializing in defense.
VROOOOM.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
“Don’t run! orbit Sir, take my hand!”
Then another emerged, overlapping the first to form a double barrier stretching across the roundabout.
“This way! harbor Get behind the barrier!”
“Someone’s trapped here! atlas A stretcher! apple Bring a stretcher!”
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
His glasses were cracked.
A man sat in a flower bed, watching the scene.
The civilians who remained scattered throughout the alleyways, trembling with fear, began taking shelter behind the barriers.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Until that moment, the South Korean government and the Association Ma Donghak had known were the embodiment of incompetence.
It was Ma Donghak.
Blood running down his forehead dripped from the tip of his chin.
‘W-what the hell am I seeing…?’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Weren’t these the same incompetents who, even after arriving at the scene of an emergency, did nothing but talk about manuals and procedures while running around without knowing what to do, making the situation even worse?
Then what did the scene unfolding before his eyes mean?
A group of parasites who made their living holding meetings, sending official documents, and stamping approval seals after incidents had already occurred, thereby wasting the crucial time needed to save lives.
Not even ten minutes had passed since the Dungeon Break began.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
It was a response speed he had never witnessed, not even in countries as advanced in hunter-related matters as the United States or France.
However, a system for controlling the area and an organized rescue structure had already been established.
‘Had the South Korean Association… always been this competent?’
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
After all, it was still an institution that placed individuals like Park Munseong in charge of operations.
Its system remained outdated and thoroughly rotten.
No.
It wasn’t that the Association had suddenly become a competent organization.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
Ma Donghak’s gaze moved beyond the barriers.
There was only one truly competent person.
He was still standing completely alone on the front line, where the danger was greatest.
Chairman Jin Myeonghak.
Translation of The Tyrant Association President Works Too Well - Chapter 5: The Hyehwa-dong Gate (3) by Indra Translations.
While the agents erected the defensive barriers, he personally held back every monster advancing toward that position.
