Queen's POV

I have never tasted more ridiculously cooked chicken in my life. The damn thing is overcooked. Even I wouldn't feed this to people I capture. Its as hard as rubber and it is going to take me 100 years to chew it. This is the third time I have been served shit like this.

Even Sehun who cannot boil water, could have cooked this better.

I pushed the plate away and stood up, absolutely disappointed in the food they gave me.

The door to my room opened with a bang and I was startled. Two guards stood there. One of them walked towards me. Taking my hand, he pulled me to walk along with him. I resisted so he tried.

"HEY LET GO OF ME FUCKER", with that I pushed him away.

He seem pissed and took hold of me. The second one joined as they pulled me along. I bit his arm and he yelped, giving me time to back off. While I was busy trying to fight these two men who were manhandling me, suddenly a new person entered. I knew him.

He was Leo, Namjoon's main henchman.

Before I could react, he punched me hard. My face fell to the side. In another moment he put both my arms together in front of me and cuffed them.

I yelled as he grabbed my hair and pulled me to come with him. I screamed as his hold on my head tightened and I struggled to keep up with him. From the way we were heading, it looked like he was taking me to Namjoon's office.

He kicked open the door and threw me to the floor. And by threw I mean literally yeeted me into the room. My head hit the ground and I winced in pain.

Calming down, I gathered myself to stand up using my elbows as support since my hands were tied. All the other boys were in the room as they just watched this drama unfold.

Namjoon stood up as he walked towards me. Judging by his face, he looked pissed. Why was he mad? Was it because I kept complaining about the chicken not being properly cooked?

He grabbed the collar of my shirt as he rammed me into the wall behind. I winced a second time as my head made contact with the wall. At this rate my skull was going to crack open.

"Where is your brother?", he asked.

"My brother? What? How am I supposed to know where he is?", I shot back.

He sniggered, tightening the hold on my collars making it difficult for me to breath.

"Your brother escaped from your house. He also managed to somehow shoot my men and go underground in a way I no longer can track him. A mere dumb 19 year old school boy did that!? And that too just four hours after your call with him?"

"I don't know where he went", I struggled to speak. "And I have a police gun at home which he could have used. I haven't said anything out of the blue to him. Ask Taehyung. Also don't call him dumb because he really isn't. Only I can call my brother dumb"

Namjoon turned to look at Taehyung who nodded. With that he let go of his hold and I stumbled. I took a deep breath as I got a grip on myself.

EXO. They must have taken him to safety. That is the only possible explanation. An unexplainable joy erupted within me knowing they couldn't use Daniel anymore as a bait.

"Now that your brother is not in my hold anymore, you serve no purpose to me. Just like you said when we captured you. You could easily turn against me. You pose more as a threat. Apologies but I cannot let you live now. End her Leo", he declared.

"Are you sure boss?", Leo asked. He had a quite conflicted look on his face. The way he was looking at me, it looked like he knew something. Like he was hesitant to kill me.

"Do it", Namjoon gritted his teeth.

Leo hesitated as he kept looking at me and then turned to Namjoon. The latter clenched his jaw as he was fuming with anger.

"DO IT NOW LEO"

My eyes widened as Leo reached for his gun. No, I couldn't die. Not like this. Not without taking revenge for Sua.

Leo removed his gun as he cloaked it. Raising his hand, he pointed it at me. Just as I saw his finger go to the trigger, I used all my forced as I kicked him.

He fell back and all the boys stood up the moment they saw this. Using my tied hands, I pushed them down with all my might, hitting him on the head which caused him to fall once again, bleeding this time, as the metal cuffs hit his skull. Using this opportunity I grabbed the gun from him as I pointed it at Namjoon.

6 other guns were immediately in my direction but I did not let that faze me. Namjoon did not even flinch as he kept looking at me. Instead he raised an eyebrow and just looked at me in a taunting manner, challenging me to shoot him.

Sexy mf

"Yes you are right. With my brother disappearing, I can easily turn against you. I have no worry or fear because you cannot use him against me. But, I realized something. Even without my brother's bait forcing me, I still want to be a part of this. In the past three days I have sat in front of a wall and stared at it. And it made me realize one thing. Being a government servant yielded me nothing. They left me to die here and no one will ever acknowledge my sacrifice. I am just a 'dead on duty' officer to them. I got no fame, no money and most importantly no power. And I want that power which I know you can give me. Because there are people who have wronged me and those dear to me in the past and the only way I am taking revenge on them is when I am powerful. And that is why I want to be in this Mafia"

With that I dropped the gun which was in my hand as a sign of peace. The heavy metal object hit the ground with a thud as it fell at my feet. Namjoon watched it after which he turned his eyes towards me.

Silence.

Please tell me my impromptu monologue was going to save me. All those improvs I did with Kyungsoo in the past were going to aid me right now. Tell me I did not fuck up by throwing that gun down.

Namjoon stood up as he walked towards me. I was 1000% ready to be slapped or punched but instead he bent down and removed a key from Leo's pocket as he opened my cuffs.

Freeing my hands, he threw the cuffs to the side. After staring me in the eyes for 5 seconds, he spoke.

"Welcome to the Mafia Kang Sua"

Oh my god. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. My heart seemed to have almost stopped. Composing myself, I nodded in acknowledgment and followed it with a bow.

Someone hand me my fucking oscar because my acting skills are fucking impressive.

Third Person POV

Suho immediately came running downstairs as he heard that Daniel was here. The moment he had gotten Kyungsoo's call, he had gone into a frenzy. He saw Baekhyun and Chanyeol standing there and avoiding his eyes while Kyungsoo's shirt and arms had blood dried on them. The young boy clearly looked scared out of his wits.

"What the fuck did you three do?"

"Chanyeol and Baekhyun did damage. I did damage control. So nothing out of the usual", Kyungsoo answered.

"What!?", Suho was confused. He turned to Daniel who was standing there silently.

"Are you okay Daniel?", he asked.

"I am okay", the younger replied.

"Oh uh just so you know why we go you here. We are you sister's coworkers and we thought that—", Suho began trying to salvage the situation. He couldn't tell Daniel the truth so he had to make up some story.

"You don't have to lie Suho. I know who you are. You are EXO. And I know who my sister is. She is your boss, Queen"

Suho's eyes widened as he looked at Chanyeol and Baekhyun, convinced one of them had spilled it. He saw Baekhyun pointing at Chanyeol slyly while the taller just stood there with a I am sorry look.

"We four will have a talk later. Daniel please come with me"

The younger nodded and followed Suho. He led him to a guest room. "There is blood on your face and clothes. Please clean yourself, I will have new clothes sent for you. Once you are done, I would like to have a word"

Without a word, Daniel walked into the bathroom, clearly shaken by today's events. For starter he had seen those two men being shot and now he came to know that his sister was a Mafia boss. He'd often heard news about how Queen was one of the most dangerous person in Korea and how top international agencies like Interpol and FBI had ongoing investigations on her. But when he saw his sister Hyelin, he couldn't believe it. Was she just good for her own family?

He opened the sink as he splashed cold water on his face and scrubbed it until the blood wore off. The cold water helped him calm down a little. But he still had to be wary. He was in a Mafia's house. He couldn't trust them blindly. What if in his sister's absence they harmed him?

But then this was his only option. He couldn't return to his house. Not after the guy named Kyungsoo had shot Bangtan's men. If he went back and got caught, they'd think he did it.

Walking out of the bathroom he saw a pair of jeans and a shirt there and he changed into it. He had no idea who these belonged to but they fit him well.

When he went into the living room, Suho was sitting there waiting for him. He quietly took a seat opposite him.

"Do you feel better now?", Suho asked and Daniel nodded.

"Hyelin Noona called", Daniel spoke. "Just four hours ago"

"She did?", Suho was stunned. "It means she is alive"

Daniel nodded. "She said she was okay. But then abruptly the phone got cut. I heard some male voice before it got cut so I assumed the people who are holding her captive must have snatched it"

"That is fucking great news. Thank you Daniel", Suho was happy as he held the man's shoulders and rocked him slightly.

Daniel smiled. Suho seemed like a good man. He must be since Hyelin trusted him with the Mafia. Another looming question took over his
mind as he directed it to Suho.

"Why do you think they have kept her alive? I don't know much about the Mafia but one thing I know is its a ruthless business"

"Your sister", Suho began "must have made a deal which they couldn't refuse"
