The bad news broke out that Morte Veloce turned his back on Regina and the whole team is stressed on how to compromise. Of course, partly, may sisisihan but it was immediately resolved. Still, they are figuring out if paano sila magcocompromise.

Meanwhile...

Morte Veloce is at a phone conversation with a mysterious persona.

"Catherine Romanova! Or should I call you, Catherine the Great?" -Morte

"Cut the Crap, Morte. Have you done as I asked?" -???

"Yes, of course, императрица! " -Morte
***[pronounced as 'imperatritsa' which is Russian for empress]

"Good. Just continue as ordered, Morte, and you will soon receive your prize, the membership in the council you have longed. Una volta che la finta regina muore, il re dei re giace accanto alla tomba del suo amante... Prenderò il suo posto. E sarai il secondo più potente" -????
***[Una volta che la finta regina muore, il re dei re giace accanto alla tomba del suo amante is Italian for Once the fake queen dies, the king of kings lies next to his lover's grave.]
***[Prenderò il suo posto. E sarai il secondo più potente= I will take his place. And you will be the second most powerful]

"Твой итальянец впечатляет, моя императрица" -Morte
***[Pronounced as Tvoy ital'yanets vpechatlyayet, moya imperatritsa, Russian for "Your Italian is impressive, my empress."]

"Your Russian is crude. A shame. Bring me the piglet before the day ends or Re dei Re will hear of your misconduct." -???
***Re dei Re is Italian for King of Kings. In here, Catherine is referring to the highest supreme leader of the European division of the syndicate. More explanation and background about the syndicate shall be provided in the next UD.

"Yes, Catherine. And what of the pig and the boar, Catherine?" -Morte

"Leave them to me. Do go on, Morte. Tick tock, tick tock..." -??

"Thank you, Catherine. хвалить громко, винить мягко" -Morte

"хвалить громко, винить мягко. Ciao, тупица." -???


***[хвалить громко, винить мягко pronounced as khvalit' gromko, vinit' myagko, Russian for 'Praise loudly, blame softly'. It's originally patterned from "I praise loudly, I blame softly". This is one of the quotes of Catherine the Great, an empress of Russia who ruled from 1762-1796, the longest reign of any female Russian leader. Known more for her affairs of the heart than for affairs of state, she nevertheless greatly expanded her country's empire.]

***[Of course, Ciao is Italian for goodbye. тупица pronounced as tupitsa is Russian for dimwit or dumbass.]

A/n:

Just a hint, Catherine Romanova in this story is used as a codename by the leader of one of the most powerful Russian syndicates. I don't have a name for her syndicate yet but I'm thinking between: "Romanova" or "Dynasty" just cause Catherine the Great is from the Romanova dynasty. I'm considering "Vormir" (Vormir is actually German for in front of me but parang walang connection sa Russian eh. Except that this could be in honor of Natasha Romanoff who died at Vormir to get the soul stone). Maybe "Cancer" or "Stroke" ? coz I wanted something equivalent to Silent Killer but when I searched at the internet, the silent disease is high blood pressure, eh ang cringy. I'm also thinking if "Femme Fatale" is good.

"A Femme fatale is a strong woman who knows what she wants and how she wants it. She has the ability to seduce any man she wants by being witty, clever, seductive and a little bit mysterious. ... A woman like this knows what she wants from her life and she won't settle for less than she deserves.. "
- Keller, C. (2018). IF YOU HAVE THESE 10 TRAITS, YOU ARE A TRUE FEMME FATALE. Retrieved from https://herway.net/life/if-you-have-these-10-traits-you-are-a-true-femme-fatale/

Anyway, Catherine the Great may or may not be a new character in the story. You may or may not have already encountered her sa story. Take a guess kung sino si Catherine.

Also take a guess if sino yung piglet, pig, boar, fake queen at re dei re. Altho it's kinda obvious haha

Just uploaded a bonus scene for hintz and all and pambawi kasi alam kong nainis kayo sa ginawa ko kay Clarke yesterday hahaha.
