"Emergency call-up, everyone!"

"What? Everyone? What's going on?"

"Orders from the Boss."

"Right away! I'll take care of it!"

"Good. Run the emergency phone tree and get every last man in. Treat it as Jindogae One." (TL Note: Jindogae One—named for the Korean Jindo dog—is the South Korean military's highest alert, issued when armed infiltrators are suspected.)

"Yessir!"

"You've got one hour."

Thud-thud-thud.

At A.T Security CEO Han Jin-ung's words, the employee was already out the door.

At the word Boss, tension had come over his face.

The bonus scheme CEO Jang Tae-san had set was so absurd that Han Jin-ung worried the company would go under.

The employees' loyalty was beyond measure.

Once out of the rigid, rule-bound military, they hadn't had much to do.

To soldiers used to taking orders from above, cut off from the world, civilian life full of schemes was terrifying.

But the men who'd joined A.T Security had struck it incredibly lucky.

Nowhere else these days offered a job like this.

A paradise of perks that would…
