Joel was even more alerted now. Because his boss was never the one who would pay attention to any female. Till now, the only woman who could grab his attention was their young miss, and he knew that boss had stopped his search for her background months ago.

"Who is it boss?

" Joel said.

"Search for Paula. I don't know anything other than that about her name. So it might be a little difficult for you to search for her. Thus I am giving you three days to find every single information about her.

" Markus said and ended the call.

Joel, on the other hand, didn't even get the chance to complain.

'Three days!! Only three days to find out about some woman named Paula!! Boss, what do you take me for? And who the hell is this Paula who made the boss call me in the middle of night, disturbing my sugar sleep.' Joel complained to himself.

But immediately started working on it, forgetting his sleep.

Next day onwards, everything was back to its regular routine. Markus and Kizy would go to the office and work, return late in the evening, have their dinners and sleep.

On the third day, Joel was early at the Markus's office, waiting for him with a file in his hands.

Markus and Kizy came together to the office as usual. But after watching Joel there, Markus turned to Kizy.

"You remember yesterday's presentation?

" He asked Kizy.

"Yeah.

" Kizy said.

"There are four mistakes in the presentation. Go to the accounts department and market department, find the mistakes and get them corrected. Return back to the office once you are done.

" Markus said.

For Kizy, this was easy work. So she simply nodded, knowing that there must be some important matter for Markus and Joel to discuss and left quickly.

Once Kizy was gone, Markus entered the office, followed by Joel, who locked the door behind him.

"Boss, I found information about Paula. Paula Jordan.

" Joel said, placing the document on the desk.

Markus nodded, showing he was listening.

"She is a 52 year old divorcee. Has four companies to her name. Probably got them as alimony after her divorce.

She was interested in Kevin, Young Miss's father after meeting him at a celebration party.

After that, she waited for an opportunity, and helped her father out. She helped him grab major deals, getting closer to him till he was head over heels for her, even forgetting his beloved wife, Miss Kate in the process.

He had a fight with Miss Kate, three years ago, wherein Young Miss had left the house with her mother permanently and Paula started living with him.

Soon, she made him leave his own house and live with her at one of her villas, situated near the outskirts of A city.

Both of them live there even now. Mr Kevin is very successful now, and he gives the credit to Paula for the same. In short they both are happy together, enjoying their own days while having no one to care about.

" Joel said and paused.

Markus, who was looking through the documents while hearing Joel, raised his head, looking at Joel.

"But these are superficial details and this is what everyone else knows. There is more to the story.

Paula's previous husband had divorced her for some mysterious reason which is unknown, even giving all his property to her without keeping anything for himself as alimony.

On top of all this, she has a son, almost three years older than you. But he is even more mysterious, his location unknown. Nobody has ever seen him, and if not for our intelligence, even we would have never known about this son.

Alas, the most important information about her is that she has some connections in Z city.

" Joel finished his report.

But all of them made the situation even trickier.

"Z city.. interesting.

" Markus said with a smirk.

There were only three largest black markets present in this world, one of them being Z city. And anyone with connections from any of these three were truly dangerous characters.

"There is one more thing, boss.

" Joel said.

"Continue.

" Markus replied, keeping the file aside, knowing that it wasn't useful.

"Jason had searched for her three years ago. I guess he had found the same information we have found now. But after that, he stopped searching.

" Joel informed him further.

"Of course. Anyone with brains would never go and search for someone related to Z city on their own. That place is way too dark. What Jason did is not wrong.

" Markus said and paused, trying to remember something.

"Wait. Do one thing, you go and pause the search for now. And while you are going, ask Kizy to come and meet me here immediately.

" Markus said.

"Yes boss.

" Joel said and bowed before leaving.

After two minutes, there was a knock on door and Kizy entered.

"I found all the four mistakes, corrected three of them and was thinking how to correct the four when you called me. But luckily I found the solution while coming here.

" Kizy said excitedly, happy that she succeeded at her job.

"Great work.

" Markus said, genuinely praising her before continuing.

"But I called you for some other reason. Have a seat first.

" Markus said in a serious tone.

"Go on.

" Kizy said while sitting in front of him.

"You remember you informed us via Jack that Aaron had a lot of weapons, probably from the black market?

" Markus asked.

"Yeah.

" Kizy said, sincerely listening to Markus, knowing this was something serious.

"Was there any special weapon or anything else which is not found in regular black markets?

" Markus asked.

"Yeah. In fact I had tried to ask him about his sources, even mentioning that only three places can sell some of those weapons. But his replies were ambiguous, not giving out anything.

" Kizy replied.

"You know about those three places?

" Markus asked in a surprised tone, never thinking that even Kizy would know about it.

But on second thought, if Jason had known about these places, Kizy would also know the same, thus he calmed down a little.

"I not only know about them, but I have been to one of them personally.

" Kizy said casually, but this literally shocked Markus.

"Are you for real? You went to one of these places? Which one?

" Markus asked in a still shocked voice.

"Green triangle.

" Kizy replied.

Green triangle, was a roughly triangular shaped island, situated far away from other countries. It was a world in itself, different from the normal world.

"Woah!! You are far ahead than me.

" Markus said, his voice a little complaining.

"Just went there to meet more people last year.

" Kizy said.

"Wait wait wait. Last year? Like for the Gala held last year, where all the major groups from the entire globe, including Z city and Imperial nation, were invited?

" Markus able, not being able to keep calm anymore.

"Hmmm.

" Kizy replied.

"What 'hmmm'!!! You went to the GALA!!!

" Markus exclaimed.

"Yes.

" Kizy said a little awkwardly, not knowing if that was something wrong or right from Markus's reaction.

"But wait. Only people with invitation were allowed. Not to mention the invitations were only sent to the most powerful groups. And off course no one would dare to trespass the Gala. So why were you there?

" Markus asked confusedly.

"Because I was invited.

" Kizy said.

"You were invited? You are not that special to receive the invite though.

" Markus said, disbelief written on his face.

"Yes I received the invitation. In fact my entire group was invited.

" Kizy said.

"You mean Jason and your team?

" Markus asked, still not believing it.

"Yes.

" Kizy said.

"But why will they invite you? If they can invite small groups like you, they could have definitely invited any local gang as well.

" Markus said, looking down on Kizy.

"What? Small group? Does 'Black Command' sound like some small group? Are you serious?

" Kizy said, not knowing what else she should say.

"Of course a small group. Do you think 'Black comma-

" Markus was speaking when he suddenly paused.

"Wait!! What did you just say?? 'Black Command'? As in THE DEATHBRINGERS: BLACK COMMAND?

" Markus said, his tone severe.

"Yes. Finally you know.

" Kizy said, sighing.

"But you never told me about your group.

" Markus said.

"Oh. I forgot. I thought I would have told you about it yesterday. But no I was wrong. So, I was a part of 'Black Command'.

" Kizy said after a minute, remembering she had never told her group's name to Markus.

"How can you forget such an important thing!!

" Markus exclaimed but Kizy simply smiled in response, not knowing what else she should do.

"So Jason must be Black thunder, the leader of 'Black Command'. Then you would be Black Rose or Black Diamond.

" Markus said and paused once again.

"You.. you… you are Black Diamond right?

" This time Markus was literally shouting.
