Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 116

　　Baelforce Headquarter

　　Later that night, Zero called for the subordinate he tasked with the delivery of the envelope containing money for his long lost birth mother.

　　Her name was Donna Fu, a former staff of his father and later became his father's mistress because of her own youth and beauty.

　　Later, the affair bore fruit and because his biological father's position that time is critical, his mother decided to run away afraid that her pregnancy would be endangered by his father's family.

　　Donna Fu safely gave birth to him but at the age of five, when his father found out of his existence, he forcibly took him away from her, leaving the woman in despair.

　　His father was a smart man, he might have been involved in affairs but at the end of the day, he would still choose his wife who has a family that could help him in his ambitions.

　　The child was successfully taken away to be raised in his father's home but at the age of seven, he ran away.

　　But in reality, his father's wife tasked her men to send him to an orphanage away from City I.

　　How it affects his mother, Zero wouldn't want to know. He stopped himself from knowing. With the lives he took selfishly to survive, he is not deserving for any sort of happiness of having a mother. Zero, forced himself to be indifferent.

　　He lived his life in the orphanage for more than three years until he was abducted at the age of ten and was sent to Country R to live a life better than death, to live or to die is based on your capability, endurance and personal selfishness to live until the Lady Cleopatra has saved him at the age of seventeen, three years ago when she was just an assassin. And until now, he has served Veronica with all his loyalty.

　　After all, true to her words, as she renamed him Zero, the first of none of her later subordinates, together, they established Bael Force five months later and right then, her lady rose to fame by her ruthless actions towards her enemy or to those who dared to touch Bael Force.

　　Cleopatra is Veronica's underworld given name because of her deceitful beauty, a femme fatale but it's only the men in the underworld who created this idea because aside from using her beauty, they couldn't accept that a woman has the capability to bring down and trampled on other powerful forces in the underworld.

　　Until they each taste their medicines and experience first hand how that Lady Cleopatra could be destructive.

　　The name just stayed. Lady Cleopatra or Queen Cleopatra, everyone, even the larger underworld force leaders would warn their men not to mess with her force, the funny named Baelforce.

　　Every strong and ferocious underworld leader in Country R could only twitch their mouth every time they had to pronounce this poorly thought out underworld force's name.

　　What do they expect, the leader of that quick, fast, concise, and destructive force is a woman!

　　"Sir Xian said that Donna Fu did not bother to talk to him afterwards. Maybe your mother didn't mind fussing over it." Siete said carefully, afraid that his words might offend the leader.

　　"You're done ." Zero replied. After all, isn't that what he wanted? He shrugged off then continued with his work.

　　Sy International.

　　Rawlf was reading and signing the last batch of documents he needed to review.

　　It it is so that everything is still on track even if he will be gone for a week due to his incoming out of the country travel for Country R.

　　The telephone near him rings. "President, your brother arrived. Shall I send him to your office or in the conference room?"

　　Secretary Ryan reported. "Send him here to my office."

　　"Okay President." After some time, there was a knock on the door and soon it opened. Secretary Ryan stepped in and so the man behind him.

　　"Older brother." Ric greets his older brother with a smile.

　　Rawlf nodded. "Sit first," he told Ric and he turned to Secretary Ryan, "Send for some refreshments here. What do you want, Ric?"

　　"Coffee, please. Dark and less sugar." Ric replied, turning to Secretary Ryan. The secretary nodded and went out of the room to let the brothers talk.

　　For the past years many had changed and developed. For example, Rawlf's relationship to his brother. The night he met him, which was also the same night he met Veronica for the first time in Clandestine Place, he also started to look out for his younger brother.

　　That same night, he talked him out of shifting to an entrepreneurial course and so the latter obeyed because he wants to get closer to his formidable older brother.

　　This bore fruit because since then, Rawlf has also become his mentor every time he faced a problem in his academic aspect.

　　Ric just graduated last year and so Rawlf assigned him to Sy International's City M branch as the finance department staff.

　　Everyone needs to start from scratch and so Rawlf wanted to teach this to his younger brother which Ric readily accepted and soon, the young lad rose in ranks due to his hard work and also because Rawlf paved the path for him.

　　Two months ago, Ric was promoted as the finance department supervisor.

　　"How is your trip?" Rawlf asked him as he walked towards the lounge area where the young man was seated.

　　"Ah, brother, why all of a sudden?" Ric rather asked in return. Since their sibling relationship turned better, Ric is even now comfortable to talk freely around Rawlf.

　　"Your sister in law and I planned to travel out of the country. I need you here to help Secretary Ryan while I'm not around."

　　"Woah! You! You didn't even tell me that Vivi will soon become my sister in law and you haven't told me that you both already have children. Brother you are indeed legendary! You're so far ahead of everything!"

　　Ric exclaimed with admiration in his eyes. His previous exhausted mood turned bright. Rawlf could only massage his nose bridge.

　　"We'll have family dinner tonight. You can rest and visit your mother then attend dinner at home around seven."

　　"Alright. When are you leaving by the way?" "Next week Monday."

　　"Brother! It's Sunday now! So that means you'll be leaving for tomorrow?!" Ric once again exclaimed and stood up

　　Rawlf nodded.

　　Ric slumped back on the sofa like a wilted vegetable.
