Chapter 154
Five days later, Uncle Bien is finally able to sit on the bed. His wounds were carefully bandaged
and he is strictly told not to move around to avoid its opening.
Uncle Bien who is known for being stubborn surprisingly obeyed the middle aged female doctor.
Veronica and Rawlf shared a look after realizing the situation.
"You should have let me fight them then." Rawlf said.
"It's alright. If not because of them, I won't be here." Uncle Bien replied. "What are you talking
about?!" Celerina Wang said angrily.
"Do you know that you almost died!"
"Relax." Uncle Bien pacifies his younger sister. "Hmp!"
Veronica giggles on the other hand.
"You should rest well uncle. Don't worry, you will personally deal with them once you're well." "How
about that pair of father and son?"
"Rawlf and I were already dealing with them. They're still alive though, in case you also wanted
them."
Uncle Bien moved his hand. "They're yours."
Rawlf smiled, Veronica's eyes went sharp. While Celerina just shook her head listening to their
conversation.
Returning to the castle, Rawlf looked for his father as he had something to talk with him. It is
something to do with Rudolph and Allia Ming. The father and son's conversation only lasted for a few
minutes.
After Rawlf left his room, the old master Sy was left in another haggard expression. This is what
butler Pito saw after entering the old master's room.
"We will leave and return to Country after two days, Pito." "President?"
"Late. I was too late."
Butler Pito heaved a sigh inside because truth be told, he knew that indeed, the old master Robert
Sy is too late. Time sure can tell but for someone who was already near the finish line, Butler Pito could
only sigh once again.
"Yes, President." Butler Pito nodded in obedience.
The week passed and after making sure that the twins were safe under Vlad, since Alex was off
somewhere enjoying his Island life in the Pacific, the couple started to move and deal with some
people.
Those who were proven to betray Uncle Bien and sided with Victorino were instantly killed.
Both Katarina Cang and Pyotr were shipped to Country R. The rest of the Cang family were left in
Country P with Rawlf's go order for the men there to deal with and with Zero asking Veronica's favor,
they were instantly dealt with.
Despite not feeling anything for either his father nor his relatives, Zero at least showed them a little
pity and dealt with quickly.
Back in Spartan force, Country R base, Pyotr was locked up in a different cell far from Katarina
and since Veronica isn't directly acquainted with the man, she didn't bother to visit him. She will give
him to Rawlf to deal with.
Katarina on the other hand is another matter.
Veronica clenched her fist while walking to the underground cells of Spartan base. The clicking of
a woman's heels already made Katarina expect who the woman is.
Looking outside, indeed she wasn't wrong. Calmly, she looked at her, no guilt, no fear, very calm.
"How are you Veronica?" Katarina asked.
This made Veronica smile instead of being angry. "I am good Katarina. How about you?"
Katarina shrugged off.
"Same as usual but slightly disappointed."
"Hmm. Disappointed because your plan failed….. Big time?"
Katarina smiled back.
"You could say that," she replied nonchalantly.
"So…. Would this be the usual ending? Your plan failed and since you're hopeless now, would you
tell me your reasons why you tried to harm me?"
Hearing this, Katarina guffawed.
"What…Oh goodness, I never take you for one to think this is a story, Veronica. So, in this story,
am I the villain and you are the heroine?"
Veronica raised an eyebrow.
"I consider myself neither a heroine nor a villain, Katarina. I'm not good enough to be the heroine
nor bad enough to be the villain."
"Then what are you, Veronica?" "I am Veronica."
Katarina was silent.
"Then I am Katarina. Maybe in another time, we could have been friends."
"I would never wish for that to ever happen, Katarina. Much that you tried to harm them twice, five
years ago and now."
"Truth be told," Katarina paused,
"I didn't know then. But who knows what I would do then. But you know, seeing them for the first
time that time at the mall, I also wanted them for myself." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Katarina then stared at Veronica, watching her expression and seeing the fierce expression on her
face, she smiled.
"No matter how strong of a woman you are, if you're a mother, you'll always be one I guess. You
weren't able to maintain your calm expression when they're the ones being concerned."
Veronica didn't reply. She watched and observed Katarina. To kill her directly is simple and easy
for her, but Veronica wouldn't want to give her that.
"Your family, gone... That man named Pyotr, gone... Your power and influence, gone. Knowing all
those things you once had were gone, I admire you for still being composed and calm, Katarina."
Veronica sneered inside. Because the only thing she saw Katarina had that strong reaction in her
face were the words, power and influence.
Truly a greedy woman.
"Do you want to know the reason why I did those things, Veronica?" "I do." Veronica simply replied.
"Why don't you fight me, Veronica? Either I win or lose, I'll tell you everything about it." "Fight?"
"Fight", Katarina paused,
"Why, are you scared, Veronica?
In your years in the underworld, you never learned how to fight?"
Veronica smiled, her expression couldn't be told whether she's really happy or just masking her
real emotion with it.
"I trust you have honored your words, Katarina. Fine, I will have you take good care of, food and
the things you need to prepare."
"No need for all those unnecessary things, Veronica. Tomorrow night."
"Whatever suits you." Veronica took her steps back and walked away. Her eyes held a very sharp
look in her eyes.
'Should have been your last days to enjoy good things in life before I judge you Katarina. Should
have been fine, whatever suits you.' Veronica thought.
"And in fact, I will make it grand."
