Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 149

　　Seeing that Veronica was fighting her exhaustion because of anxiety for their children and family's safety, Rawlf brought her first to a sleeping quarter assuring her that everything is under control.

　　He didn't leave until he saw that Veronica fell asleep.

　　He changed first from another set of clothes before going to talk to Vlad, his most trusted man in the Persian force who at the same time managed the team. Vlad is a very serious man however, he has the habit of wearing butler suits.

　　Other people who just met him would think he is just a butler and not the second in command of the vagabond Persian force.

　　Entering the conference room and seeing Vlad already seated inside, Rawlf fired the question right away.

　　He knew that Veronica had the right to know everything; however, Rawlf would at least want to filter the information first.

　　"What's the real status?"

　　"Everything is truly under control , however, Sir Bien, the madam's uncle…. We lost track of

　　him."

　　"What do you mean?" Rawlf's tone turned gloomy.

　　He's really not a caring person for those aside from Veronica and their children, however, Veronica's uncle Bien was the one who helped Veronica and their children when he wasn't with them yet, in fact, he save them and took care of them as well. He has a big amount of gratitude and debt towards uncle Bien and even if he would try to make it up for him, a lifetime wouldn't suffice.

　　"We just lost track of him last night. We couldn't contact you to inform you since you're traveling. However, the other members from the force were patiently looking for him. We also coordinated with the force of the Lady Boss here and both joined forces to find Sir Bien."

　　"Get ready, we'll go to the castle."

　　Vlad stood up and bowed in obedience to go out of the room to prepare his men. He just got out of the door when she saw the Lady Boss rushing, obviously looking for Rawlf.

　　He called her out and seeing him, she quickly approached him. "Where's Rawlf."

　　'She must have known it already.' Vlad thought.

　　Before he could answer, the man in question was already behind him.

　　Veronica passed him by and walked inside. Vlad shrugged off and walked out to get the remaining force ready.

　　Back in the castle, Victorino and Victor were lounging in the living area, wine glasses in both hands while the Sy couple, Wang couple and sons and the twins were being confined in a corner.

　　The elders' expressions look grave, their eyesight not moving away from the twins. On the other hand, the Persian forces in the shadows were standing by, high alert. "Where is Bien?!" Eddie Wang spoke in anger.

　　On the other hand Victorino took his time sipping on the wine. After some time, he look at Eddie Wang who was on a wheelchair from head to toe,

　　"You know, I still couldn't understand what Celerina like about you. Too soft. Too weak. And you end up being almost disabled because of your feebleness."

　　Victorino mocked.

　　The three Wang brothers, after hearing their father being ridiculed, instantly stood up to punch the man; however, they were forced to sit back when two men pointed their guns towards Baelfire and Baelfair.

　　This is why even if the three Wang brothers were skillful in hand to hand combat, they could only sit on one corner because they're afraid they will put their nephew and niece in danger.

　　"That's right. Do something, try me… and you'll see how the bullets will pierce through those children's brains."

　　Victorino laughed, not even flinching that he's talking about little children here.

　　The people were silent, very silent because of the anger in their hearts but smartly decided not to worsen and triggered the other side.

　　Victorino then turned towards Celerina,

　　"All those years, I've been patiently waiting for you thinking that you'll come back after realizing you wouldn't find anyone else better than me. Years later, indeed you return but because you were exiled from that country and because of that man's"

　　Victorino pointed at Eddie Wang, "weakness", he emphasize and continued,

　　"Your standard in men is unexpectedly low, Celerina." Victorino then laughed in contempt.

　　He stood up and walked towards Celerina. He pulled her by force seeing that Eddie Wang was holding her.

　　This results in Eddie Wang from falling down the wheelchair. Butler Leo who was on the other side quickly approached to help him up and so were the three Wang brothers however, Victor suddenly fired a shot towards the twins direction and everyone looked in horror, their blood boiling.

　　They heaved a sigh of relief seeing that the fired gunshot was a little far from the twins. The gunshot also stopped them from moving any further. Eddie Wang crawled towards Victorino who was still pulling Celerina with him, his intention obvious.

　　"Dad!"

　　Edcel quickly went to help his father

　　However, seeing how Eddie Wang was miserably crawling after them, Victorino stopped and pulled Celerina back to where Eddie Wang was.

　　"Beg me Eddie! Beg me! Beg me like the little sissy that you are!" "Go! go and kill me! But leave my wife alone!"

　　Victorino laughed once more in mockery. The face of the Wang brothers furious yet helpless. The twin's position is far from them so no matter how swift and fast they are, they would endanger the twins once the men from the other side saw them if they start to fight back.

　　Madam Vanessa Sy on the other hand witnessing the whole scene shed tears.

　　She's afraid of whatever will happen to her beloved grandchildren but she's shedding tears seeing how devoted Eddie Wang is towards Celerina.

　　She couldn't help but feel envy for the first time in many years. But after realizing that the situation right now is dangerous, Madam Vanessa ignored her straying thoughts and watched the men who were pointing their guns towards the twins very closely.

　　Among them, Madam Vanessa is the closest to the twins and if worst comes to worst, she will no doubt jump in front to shield them, even if the exchange will be her own life!

　　Old master Sy who turned weaker and older after his talk with Vanessa last time also thought the same however, with his slow movements, he's of no help, even old Butler Pito wasn't able to help.

　　The situation in summary is very tense.

　　On the other side, the Persian force who were on the ceiling and some on the underground and some inside the spaces of the walls in the castle were on standby.

　　"When are we going to take action Boss?" One man asked their unit leader. "When someone gets hurt."

　　"Is emotional hurt not included?"

　　Hearing this, the rest of the men on the underground looked at their colleague with the same thought, 'What do you know about emotions?!'
