“ You want to deal with that hacker before he steals more file .  The more time passes , the more files he will steal . “ said Daphne .

“ Daphne do you know about computers ? “ asked Daria a bit in disbelief .

“ It is my secret passion . I am very good at coding . “ said Daphne .

The professor knew nothing of the sort . Damon looked at her doubtfully .

“ Fifty employees that are carefully selected from their abilities are finding it hard to deal with this hacker yet you say alone you can deal with him ?…..Of course I would find it doubtful . “ said Damon .

Daphne sighed as she really didn’t have the strength to argue with him and convince him .

“ How about we discuss this after I have dealt with him ? I wanna use all my remaining strength in dealing with him not arguing with you , your highness . “ said Daphne with a tired expression .

“ ..but you worked hard all night doing the report on these books . You may make a mistake while you deal with the codes . “ said Daria , even though she was finding it hard to believe herself that she was good at coding .

“ No need to worry . I received an unpleasant news and now I need something to which I can vent my anger at and this is perfect . “ said Daphne .

“ I am placing the financial documents security of my company in X country worth two billions to a student who doesn’t even have a degree in computer science and has pulled an all nighter ?! Not to mention she is just stepping in because she is driven by her emotions . “ said Damon .

Daphne sighed as she listened to his words . She could understand that those concerns were right .

“ I have a computer science degree and I had to pull an all nighter thanks to a certain someone . It wasn’t my free choice . As for my emotions , they are my best drive . “ said Daphne .

Damon still doubted it despite being surprised by the fact that she had a degree in computer science .  

“ I know you all doubt me now because I can’t show you any proof but I ask of you to just trust me . You are already losing too much confidential data . Since your entire team is trying without success…What’s wrong with trying it too ? You are not gonna lose more than what you are already losing . “ said Daphne .  

Damon couldn’t really argue back and got up from his seat surprising Daria and the professor .  

‘ Even if it is in our interest that the matter is solved as quickly as possible…..to think that Damon would allow someone else to sit on that chair .  Even I…..rarely sit on it . ‘ thought Daria . 

She went sitting on Damon’s hair and placing a headphone on her ear . As soon as her fingers touched the keyboard , Daphne started to type at an incredible speed . She was so fast that she just kept looking at the screen and typing nonstop , simply glancing a few times at the keyboard . Butler Arnold entered at that time and remained shocked when he saw Daphne sitting on Damon’s desk in his office .  he rubbed his eyes thinking he was getting old and his vision was playing a joke on him until Daria held his shoulder and shook her head telling him to be quiet . Arnold glanced at Damon and saw his calm , serious expression as his eyes were solemnly on Daphne .  After Daria explained the situation ,he also looked at her in disbelief . The sound of the keyboard filled the room for the next twenty minutes . Daria’s phone rang taking everyone’s attention and it was the head of the tech department .  

“ Why did you call ? “ asked Daria . 

“ It’s working……His highness Damon is a genius . The stolen files are being returned . What technique did he use ? “ said the head of the tech departments over all the other companies .  

Damon could hear their words as he was close to Daria .

“ Daria , please hand me over the phone and put it on speaker . I need to talk with them . “ said Daphne without lifting her eyes from the computer screen .  

Daria went close to her and did as she told her .  

“ How many work units are you ? “ asked Daphne . 

“ Who is this ? “ asked the head of the tech department .  

“ It’s not the time for introductions . Just answer my question . “ said Daphne .  

“ Five units ! “ said the head wondering who she was .  

“ Unit one and two secure the files , unit three back up the security layers and unit four meanwhile unit five can make some coffee for everyone . “ said Daphne with a smirk when she noticed that she found the bug in the system . 

“ What ? But why you…. “ said the head but Daphne cut his word right there .  

“ Do as I tell you damn it . We don’t have much time . “ said Daphne .  

“ Did you hear that ? Do as she says . “ said Daria . 

“ Y…Yes , your highness . “ said the head nervous when hearing her angry tone .  

After ten more minutes passed , everyone waited anxiously for the result .  She pressed the keyboard one last time , took a piece of paper , writing something on it and sighed relieved as she leaned on the chair comfortably . 

“ Is it done ? “ asked Daria .  

“ Yes ! The files are secured . The security system has been updated and this is the address from where the signal was coming from . “ said Daphne handing over the paper to Daria .  

Damon smirked as she stood in front of him with an annoyed look on her face . Her annoying look started to seem rather cute to Damon .  

“ I saved you all these precious datas , gave you the location of the person that was trying to hack your system and you won’t let me rest for at least five minutes in your chair ? “ said Daphne who couldn’t believe how stinky he was .  

She sighed displeased as eh got up from the chair . She hated to admit it but his chair was rather comfortable .  

“ Did you release your anger ? “ asked Damon .  

“ Well , it certainly was helpful . Now that I finished everything , I will go have some rest then…. “ said Daphne as she suddenly felt a headache .  

She rubbed her eyes a little as she tried to regain her compose but she felt her head hurt again with her vision becoming blurry . Daphne lost her balance and Damon held her in his arms . 

“ Daphne ?! “ said Daria worried along with the professor .  

“ She seems to have fainted .  She worked hard the whole night and now . Arnold , call the doctor . I will take her to her room . “ said Damon .  

“ Yes , your highness . “ said Arnold .  

“ Daria , you take care of the rest . Professor , you better head back to your other students and check on them .  “ said Damon .  

“ Yes brother ! “ said Daria as the professor nodded his head , bowing lightly and heading back to the library .  

While Arnold went to call for the doctor , Damon walked back to Daphne’s room with the unconscious Daphne in his arms .   

“ So , you are a human being after all… “ said Damon staring at her with a smile as he softly caressed her cheeks .

When he arrived in front of her room , he saw Lion standing in front of the door , ready to knock on it . Lion clenched his fists with an angry look on his face when he saw Damon holding Daphne in his arms . He couldn't believe his eyes . More than the fact taht he was holding her , he was worried for Daphne while wondering what Damon had done to her for her to be unconcious in his arms .

“ What is going on here , your highness ? “ asked Lion clecnhing his fists angrily staring at Damon .

" You should keep your expresison in check first , Lion Morningstar of the devil clan . " said Damon smirking .
