Chapter 57 - Shes Xero (2/2)
”Her? Are you telling me that all these time that the person who's called Xero is a she? Is she the same person that Ralph looked for long time ago?” He asked when he remember that Ralph was assign to look for the person who almost bankrupt the entire country by hacking and crippling the economy. It was a fright and disaster back then. No one knew what happen but it was scary every time the phone rang only to be told they are on the verge on being the poorest country with no way to survive.
”It's the same person. I manage to find her before Ralph does. He was close though.”
Tristan frowned.
”Are you saying that...” He couldn't finish the question when he saw his grandfather nod.
”She's Xero. The sole reason Googol exist. It was to protect her.”
Tristan's heart went thumped. As if it was hit by a truck but still manage to hold on and beats faster than normal. He remembered something.
”Was she doing any mission last few days?” He asked. She was pregnant. And he saw the situation at the abandoned warehouse. And he heard her voice over the phone as well. Although he refuses to believe it at that time but hearing all of this from his grandfather, he had to accept the truth.
”If you're talking about the incident at the abandoned warehouse, yes. She was there. She was the leader. And even though i did warn her not to danger herself since she dropped the bomb on us, it was futile. Ever since i found her, it's easier to let you boys come home rather than making her tell what did she eat for dinner. She follows her own instinct and the wildness in her. The mission that day can be considered a small matter. She doesn't even need to be on the field. But because we're dealing with MUTINY, it's not something that we can take lightly.” His grandfather answered without having any intention to hide it from Tristan. He felt like Tristan should know and hopefully he might be able to control Alicia before she could harm herself. No matter how skillful and amazing her IQ is, it's still better for her to take care of herself since she's carrying another life within her. It's not something that anyone can overlook.
”Will she keep on doing the mission?” Tristan asked after he kept quiet for a while.
”No. I let her use the computer and that should made her stay put. I put a banned on her. Not allowing her to use the computer since every time she touch it, she will alert every other country who's looking for her as well. But since you're with her, i uplift the banned and just so she would stop pestering me into getting another mission nor bother others in her main group.” Duke Cullen felt his life feel calmer now that he gave her the permission to use the computer. At least the upcoming trouble would be handle by Tristan. And he could have his time off like right now.
”Is it dangerous to let her use the computer?” Tristan asked. He was curious. Why would his grandfather do so much for Alicia and to put that sort of banned on her.
”You'll find out soon enough. I'm guessing she already alerted the government.” Not long, his phone rang and he glance towards the caller id before sighing.
”You should go back and let her sleep. She's already on the move.” Duke Cullen showed the name on his phone before picking up the call. Tristan who saw the name could only gulped down hard and hastily head home. Even though he was still bewildered by the truth and about her real identity but what he does know that whenever she's with him, that's the real her. No matter what her identity is, she will always be his wife. The mother of his kids. That is all matters.
