Saving the overbearing CEO

Chapter 145: Second World: How To Rob Another Omega's Alpha

Zhao Huangzhi silently watched the Marshal like a creepy stalker in middle of the night. Her grim eyes followed him as he walked out of Zhao Xieshu's pavilion. She wanted to lurch onto to him and tightly embrace him so he would never leave. In her fantasies this plan would work, Qie Ranzhe would love her to the end of time his eyes fixed on her alone.

But she couldn't go to him. Why couldn't she? It was because her mother forbade it. The Empress strictly forbade her as it would interfere with her plans but Zhao Huangzhi was distraught. She could no longer handle the gut wrenching pain she felt each time she saw the announcement on Valim Network and now she had to silently endure watching him walk out of that slut's house. She had to fix it and fix it fast before it was too late.

In hurried footsteps, she arrived at her mother's chambers weeping as though someone had died. 'Mother has to fuckin fix this right now!' she thought wailing at her mother's feet. "Mother....wh-what should I do? How can l deal with this pain? Do so-something....I be-beg of you," she said her voice brittle choking on her tears.

Empress Wuzhishu was distressed seeing her beautiful daughter, the crown jewel of the universe gravely to the ground heartbroken. She knew who caused her daughter such grievances intending to make them pay. That hoe's son had to pay for stealing her daughter's first love. She wouldn't just sit idle watching history repeat itself so she came up with a well thought out plan.

Her initial plan was to talk it out with her husband and make him see the error in his decision but the emperor wasn't upset in the slightest. In fact, he was happy saying this was his way of attaining power. Soon Zhao Xieshu would drag the Marshal's name through the mud and straight into a pit difficult to climb back from which meant Qie Ranzhe would lose the powerful families' confidence and be replaced as Marshal. This meant Emperor Zhao would set his plan in motion and acquire full control of UPSF fleet. He could already taste sweet victory but had to put his wife on a leash otherwise she would ruin his plan.

The Empress barely understood what her husband was yammering on about neither did she try and understand it. All she knew was phase one of her plan was ruined so she had no choice but to implement phase two. The plan was already thought through but hadn't been set in motion as yet when Zhao Huangzhi came in crying voicing her grievances. Watching her daughter suffering like this she decided to do something about it as it was unbearable for a mother to see her daughter cry this much.

"Okay, I understand. Don't cry, mummy will sort everything out, okay?" she said while stroking her daughter's hair with a brooding expression, "just listen to mummy and everything will be sorted."

Like spoilt child, Zhao Huangzhi nod her head in a agreement before saying, "Now, I want you to fix it no-,"

"Mum I need...to.....um," said a hesitant Prince Lazhie who walked into such a scene. His annoying  sister was crying like a paid mourner at a funeral with their mother gently coaxing her.

Zhao Huangzhi glared at with eyes full of disdain yelling, "Get the fuck out! Can't you see we are busy!"

Zhao Lazhie, "...."

"It's okay sweetie don't bother with your brother. Mummy will take of it right away. Soon the Marshal will be all yours," said the Empress beckoning her son to leave.

Zhao Lazhie didn't have to be told twice running off while thinking, 'Xie-dage is much more bearable than that evil woman....those two are so scary when they're scheming something.'

He hadn't gone far before he pausing in his tracks. This was a golden opportunity, a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity. Wouldn't Zhao Xieshu be forever indebted to him if he informed him of the impending danger in advance? With that in mind he rushed over to Zhao Xieshu's pavilion knocking impatiently as he didn't want to be seen by others as this would get him in trouble.

Irritated, Wen Qinxi hoped the door asking rudely, "What?" but he was soon struggling with Zhao Lazhie who was bulldozing his way into Zhao Xieshu's house. Zhao Lazhie squeezed in his head saying,

"Dage....leeetttt meeeee in," surprised that Zhao Xieshu was actually strong.

"You brat! You better say what you want to say outside because there's no way in hell am letting you in," said Wen Qinxi shoving his big head out the door while messing up his hair which was Zhao Lazhie's weakness.

"AAAAAHHHHH! Xie-dage why are you so mean?" cried out Zhao Lazhie fixing his disheveled hair, "see, you fuckin ruined it. I was here to do a good deed but now l don't feel like it anymore."

As soon as he said that he turned on his heel to leave but Zhao Xieshu yelled after him saying, "Wait!" before going back in the house for a few minutes. When he came back he was holding a glowing fragment of Xianore crystal a vital mineral in operating machinery throughout the universe.

Once Zhao Lazhie saw what was in Zhao Xieshu's hand his eyes light up like a christmas tree rushing over to grab it before his half brother changed his mind.

"I heard father refused to give you Xianore for your new mecha. So here, now spill it," said Wen Qinxi folding his arms across his chest all nonchalant. He was certain the brat wouldn't rat him out based on Zhao Lazhie's personality. The boy was more grateful and easy to manipulate than Zhao Huangzhi that's why he gave it to him.

"Xie-dage where did you get this from? AH! Dage tell me so I can get more," he said beaming like a kid that had just received the gift he asked for from Santa.

"You think I go out just to party and not make connections? Your information better be worth it otherwise you will owe me," replied Wen Qinxi curious to know what sort of good deed the kid was referring to.

"Xie-dage, you are much more beautiful than Huan-jie and l believe you deserve to be with the Marshal," said Zhao Lazhie his eyes fixated on the gorgeous Xianore in his hands. He could finally soar the skies again all thanks to Zhao Xieshu though forgetting it was the same Zhao Xieshu who got him grounded in the first place. See, easy to manipulate.

"Go on," said Wen Qinxi unfazed by his insincere flattery.
