A wise man once opined that 'wisdom is the best thing every human can ever seek for, as having it will make life to be endurable.'To him, a fool will be ensnarled in his trap, while the wisdom of a man can save a nation.In as much as the criteria of knowing a wise man is through his patience, wisdom is broader than that. To be wise is to know when to be cautious, and when to throw caution into the wind. Know when to talk and when to keep your mouth shut and listened. And most importantly, when to act, and when to be inactive. A wise man is a thermostat and not a thermometer. The formal takes control of its environment, and the latter reacts to it. A wise man doesn't react but is always in control, and that is why they are difficult to be manipulated. In comparison, a wise man can be likened to a wild tiger. Always calculates as they suddenly pounced on their unaware victims, tore them into shreds, and showed the world the foolery they were made of. But because most societies app

Greenwich dock is located on the extreme side of the city and had been the centre of commerce for the island since the foreigners came. Because most of the investment on that parcel of land, and even over the sea beyond was constructed by the foreigners to facilitate easy movement of opium to the outside world, they had been handed the right to be in charge of the security and running of the place and the royal house only supplied mafias whenever the foreigners demand them. Since the mafias are autonomous and will be paid for by the foreigners, they were quickly corrupted and soon became sympathetic towards their new masters. At last, the foreigner's dominance over the island became absolute, and the royal house had no choice, but to wait until the expiration of the contract form. Lots of trucks were parked inside the wall of the dock and two mechanics were seen working on one of them. "Go inside and ignite the engine," one among them informed his comrade. "Alright, boss." A mom

The mercenaries were shocked at the sudden emergence of the royal house mafias, and believing they were betrayed by their client, they quickly leapt at lady Agatha before she can fire the second shot, knocked the gun off her hand, scooped her up, and disappeared into the thick forest behind them. When the mafias arrived some moment later, they saw the dead body of a tall bald man, saw the footprints of the rest of the mercenaries, and quickly raced after them. "Lady Agatha Is been kidnapped," one among the mafias in red uniform informed his comrade as they plunged into the thicker forest. "We must get her back now, or else -" "Or what? Is it our fault that she keeps endangering her life?" "Her fault or not, we won't be spared if anything happens to her." "Hey, look out!" "What's that?" "I can see them hidden behind some trees. I bet they were about to shoot at us." "Take cover behind the trees." What ensues after was a long time of gunshots exchanged between the party. As th

The three foreigners left prince El Ramon's presence. They walked through the long corridor and arrived at a security post where they were thoroughly searched before they were allowed to pass through. The fresh breeze that welcomed them as they stepped into the palace compound was welcoming, and the men breathing out with relief nodded at the mafias at the palace doorpost, then stepped among the tall flowers and soon got lost among the vast garden that adorned the mafias palace. Because it was during break hours for the maids, the garden was filled to brim with beautiful ladies of various shapes and colours, and they all stare at the three foreigners who gawk at almost anything they see.After nodding, greetings, and several salutations, Augur set eyes on the lady he was seeking, signalled to his comrade, and they stepped closer to the two ladies who were giggling under a large tree. "Greetings to you, fairest among all the maids in this palace," Augur bowed at the fixed stared ladi

Augur was among the late dawdler that remained in Johji Inn, even after the DJ had disconnected his gadgets. Since all the generators that served light to the Inn had been shut down, the area was thrown into pitch darkness, and the voice of some unlucky ladies of service was heard in their endeavour to get customers for daybreak. When he was about to give up, a lady walked closer, leaned over and placed her hand on the stunned man. "Who... Oh, is you." "Aren't you a man, why are you scared?" "I was lost in reflection and didn't see you coming?" "Are you here alone?" "Yes. Others have left when they believed you aren't coming again. Why did it take you so long?" "Your conversation with me arose suspicious among the maids. I need to wait till they were all deep in sleep before sneaking out of our quarters." "And the guards at the gate allowed you to go out at this time of the day?" "They did. After I promised to bring them some bottles of liquor. Why did you ask to see me?" "W
