All the members were startled at Joel's sudden shout.
"What's wrong Joel?" Grandpa asked knowing that Joel was a boy with calm demeanor.
That was why he was able to manage Markus, even able to control that spoiled grandson of his at times. He won't shout this suddenly unless there was some major news.
"You are 'Dark Queen' right?" Joel said with excitment.
He had been with Markus since he ascended his throne three years ago, and had known him the most. He was the one who was present with him in his darkest years, thus he knew every single detail of his life.
As Markus was third best hacker, Joel was always well informed with the hacking world and there ranking. Afterall anything related to Markus had to go through him, thus he was always updated with all types of news in any field which had slightest contact or involvement from Markus. .
So having a woman sharing the third rank with his boss was something Joel was well aware for the past two years.
Two years ago, a male and female had suddenly emerged out as third winners for the hacking competetion organized on international level. Fans had even gone to the extent of naming these idols as 'Dark Emperor' and 'Dark Queen'.
But never in his dreams would have Joel thought that this 'Dark Queen' would turn out to be his young miss!
Kizy simply hummed in responce shocking Joel completely.
"What is this 'Dark Emperor and Queen'?" this time even Mary could not help but become curious. Afterall this was something related to her son and daughter-in-law's identity.
"Young Madam, Boss is known by name 'Dark Emperor' in coding world for his third rank. But he is sharing this third rank with a female who goes by the codename 'Dark Queen'. And this-" Joel was about to continue when suddenly elder madam interupted.
"Don't tell me she is Kizy?" Grandma said.
"Yes elder madam you are right." Joel said after adapting himself to all the new sides his young miss was showing.
In just a span of mere 48 hours since her disappearance from banquet to carelessly accepting her new identity, this young miss was shocking him with every move.
She was able to dodge him from following her, she was able to find the culprits behind poisoning while hiding herself for an entire night, she was able to calmly think through all clues for searching the mysterious man on 31st floor, she had hacked into there company's defence system, she was the one to rescue boss from death's door, she also seemed good at sports and athletics and now she turned out to be the mystery woman 'Dark Queen' on whom several tech savvy youth across the globe had a crush on.
The five members kept chatting before Grandpa recieved a call from Mr. Lee.
"Master we were suddenly saved by some people but I was not able to trace them. Were they sent by you?" Mr. Lee asked in a guilty voice.
Because he was there major partner in C City, but he was unable to save his grandson. And then they were rescued by men who were superior than him.
"Yes Mr. Lee, those were my men." Grandpa said while looking at Kizy.
"Master I wasn't aware about other brothers from our gang residing in C City. I was too ignorant, you can punish me however you want." Mr. Lee said.
If this has happened earlier, grandpa would have definitely punished Mr. Lee but now he wasn't that angry anymore.
"Its fine Mr. Lee, you tried to protect Markus as much as you could. Thus I won't punish you." Grandpa said and ended the call after few more minutes.
"Master, Elder madam, its getting late and since boss is safe and would return soon, I will take my leave now." Joel said.
"Stay for dinner with us." grandma suggested.
"No elder madam, thank you but I will definitely stay for dinner some other time. I should go now." Joel said.
Since they didn't wanted to force him, grandpa allowed him to go back.
"Kizy why don't you both stay here at mansion today? You must be tired and so would Markus be after returning. Better stay for tonight and then leave tomorrow morning." Grandma tried to at least make Kizy and Markus stay.
"Grandma, I will follow what Markus suggests." Kizy said.
Afterall she didn't knew if Markus ever stayed at this place, and if Markus was to reject her idea afterwards, that would put her in an awkward spot.
"Who is he to suggest? If I tell him to stay, he will stay! You tell about your opinion child." Grandma said a little angrily.
"I will follow your words then." Kizy said with a cheeky smile, trying to look cuter. And it was successful.
"Such a filial child." Grandpa said happily.
"Yeah I guess she is the only child Evans family has." Suddenly Markus spoke while entering the hall.
"Are you all right? Is anyone injured?" Grandma and Mary asked at the same time.
"Finally you know that this person is your child as well." Markus still said in an dramatic way.
"Stop your nonsense and answer." Finally grandpa ordered from behind.
"Yes I am fine and three of team A members have been shot but it isn't that serious and they are getting treated right now." Markus immediately answered in a serious tone.
"Thats a relief." Grandpa said sighing.
"Did you send those men?" Markus immediately asked.
"Yes." Grandpa said in a single word as he still hadn't made some valid explanation yet.
"But as far as I know, our people never had rocket launchers. But our rescue had used rocket launchers to blast the enemy cars." Markus questioned.
"Let's have dinner first, you both can discuss the details later on." Grandma suddenly chirped in between.
Markus could sense that something was wrong or he was missing out on something, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
"Okay." He replied after a moment and the family of five had there dinner.
Grandma tried to divert the attention as much as possible and Kizy was helping her out with the same.
"How did you know that we were in danger? I remember that neither me nor Mr. Lee were able to call for help." Markus suddenly asked interupting the conversation between Kizy and grandma.
"Because of Kizy." Grandpa answered seriously.
Kizy signalled grandpa not to tell, but grandpa ignored her and explained the whole elevator scene including how she went to the lengths of hacking into company system to search original footage.
"You were able to hack into my system?" Markus asked with doubt.
"She is that 'Dark Queen'." Grandma proudly said, interupting grandpa from breaking the news, as if she was more proud of Kizy being the 'Dark Queen' while her own grandson was 'Dark Emperor'.
"What?? What do you.. Cough.. cough-" Markus suddenly chocked on his own food.
Mary passed him water. Markus gulped the entire glass down before calming down but his shock was still visible from his expressions.
"You are seriously that 'Dark Queen'?" Markus asked.
Kizy just nodded a little embarassedly as Markus's expression were even more exaggerated than Joel.
"Woah. Why god why? This can not happen!" Suddenly Markus said in a dejected voice.
