Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 9

　　"We managed to gain entry last night and the force was finally stable, Lady Cleopatra. We are yet to spread out and gain more power and connection."

　　The red-haired woman wearing the most serene yet alluring expression nodded her head. "Good. Make sure to familiarize and adapt well with how things work here. Remember that despite our powerful mother base in Country R, we are yet to gain a strong hold here. Do not be over confident. Always be extra careful and alert."

　　"Yes, my Lady."

　　"Speak."

　　"My lady?" Zero was buffled by her lady's sudden question.

　　"Don't give me that confused look. You know very well that I can read you. What is it you want to say?"

　　"My lady, it's not that I do not trust your capability to protect yourself but I believe it is for the best that you take at least one of us to follow you around." Zero was nervous but he needs to be brave. He always valued his lady's wellfare and would be even ready to sacrifice his life for her. After all, she was the one who gave his life back when she bought his life almost two years ago at an underground bloody ring.

　　He was almost dead and his opponent was about to finished him off when someone from the ground, red hair with a mask that of an Egyptian Queen, intervened and promised to pay everyone in return of preserving his life. This brought a divided decision from the audience and even to the owner of the said arena but she added another interesting bet. She will also fight "Death", his current opponent, and winner takes it all, all or nothing. This excites the audience who were thirsty for blood bath and a loud cheer of agreement filled the arena.
