Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen

Chapter 11

Sy International.

"So you were able to contain this new growing force from Country R for such a good period of time

and yet suddenly things became out of control?"

"Yes President." Dmitri answered, trying hard to hide his fear.

"And why is that?" Rawlf was unsmiling now. The calmness in his voice is the very opposite of the

wrath that he will surely put his Spartan force into.

"I can't-"

"I?" Rawlf cut out. "Since when did my Spartan force start to be a one man team?" "Forgive me

President." Dmitri who was already on his knees trembled.

"Go on."

"We can't be sure about it yet, President. It's -"

"Can't be sure?" Rawlf once again cut Dmitri out. "Secretary Ryan as the head of my Athenian

Force, tell me, since when did my Spartan Force become so weak that they can't even be sure of their

own report."

Secretary Ryan fixes his eyeglass first before speaking. "I believe if that's truly the case President,

then the yearly core strengthening of both forces should be held a month earlier."

That was actually the safest answer Secretary Ryan could give. He valued his camaraderie with

Dmitri as both of them were the team leaders of Rawlf Sy's forces but his loyalty for Rawlf was beyond

and more than anything else. He knew that Dmitri wouldn't take it personally as both were extremely

loyal to Rawlf Sy.

The Athenians, to which Secretary Ryan leads, was Rawlf Sy's outer surface force that functioned

mainly with dealings with the government, economy, international trades and hacking. While the

Spartans Dmitri leads, is Rawlf Sy's underworld's force.

Actually there was another force but this force has been dormant for years now after Rawlf Sy

successfully conquered the whole economy and politics of Country P. The fearsome people of that said

force were spread around the globe having their best days in life and will only come back to Country P

if their King is to summon them. But of course, their vacation wasn't only for naught, they were also

around the globe collecting information, gaining strength, power and influence for their King.

If one is to dream, why not big enough, right? At least Rawlf Sy only dreamed of world domination

and not the universal one.

"Dmitri, you are temporarily suspended from your duties. You are not allowed to aid or intervene

with the operation until Ryan successfully finishes what you are supposed to do, in the first

place."

Dmitri's whole body trembled in humiliation. For an overachiever like him, taking his task from him

and giving it to anyone even that someone is capable of is a big humiliation for him. But he can't do

anything about it but to obey their King's decree.

"Leave."

Rawlf was storming inside but knew well not to show his anger. He doesn't really mind that another

underworld force was growing in his own land because after all, a little competition is good

entertainment until he will get bored and crush it into dust. What irked him the most is that he was

supposed to surprise and have dinner with his enchantress when an urgent call from Dmitri destroyed

his earlier plan.

"Speak." He directed to Secretary Ryan who didn't leave yet and was waiting for him to give him

the right to speak.

"President, this isn't confirmed yet but I think the underworld force is related to the Lady Boss."

Inasmuch as Rawlf would like to savor his little enchantress being called as the Lady Boss by his

subordinate, the matter is very serious right now. Much that it involved her enchantress.

"Elaborate."

"Dmitri mentioned that the Spartan had been suppressing the new force for a good period of time

and it was almost at the same time that the lady boss' arrival that the force seemed to have found a

new strength and gained a footing to finally be able to enter here and in fact stabilized now. Based on

the timeline it seems like it's the lady boss who helped the force and what's more, both were from

Country R."

Rawlf was deep in thought alone in his office after Ryan left. Until now, it annoyed him as to why

he hasn't been able to find who and how Veronica and her family suddenly vanished after the incident

four years ago.

It's too late for him to be informed that she was involved in a car accident and also too late for him

to know the severity of her situation. He decided first to gather his Persian forces and turned the whole

City I upside down as to who was responsible for her accident.

He planned to visit her by the next day but what awaited him was an empty hospital bed. And no

of her or of her family was ever found out. She seemed to vanish from the face of the earth. No tracks.

No leads.

He hauled a folder from his drawer. As he opened, he stared at the picture of the red haired

woman.

A dangerous smirk left his lips. "Very well then."
