El Capone was seen in the parlour of his royal palace, and beside him, his red wolf.
Dressed in a cowboy cap, a white T-shirt with open buttons, and blue jeans. The young prince looked like a Hollywood actor as his gold medal swayed on his airy chest. Despite his grand look, El Capone wasn't cheerful, and this can be seen from his disgusted frown. Minutes later, his wife strode into his presence, kissed him on the left cheek, and smiled to ease his scowling face."We will be attacking the foreigner's factory tonight," El Capone smiled and let out.
"Yes, I was aware, and I have to confess that I had a bad premonition about this."
"You know I have no time for woman intuition and soothsaying." The young prince answered back, stood from his chair, and raised his arms to button his shirt.
"I don't want you to go tonight, and I will be happy if your second-in-command will also stay at the palace with us," the beautiful lady in a pink flowing gown and matching white slippers let out with a pleading gaze.
"You are joking, how am I going to be hidden under my roof when my men are out there fighting for the king's decree?"
"Please, I beg of you," Andrea whispered, stepping close to her husband, and clinging to him.
"You can tell your men that your wife demands your service tonight.""You are kidding, right?" El Capone smirked back.
"Whatever, I won't allow you to step out tonight, except we are going together."
"And what will you be doing there, singing and playing your piano as we slaughter each other ?"
"Then spend tonight with me, you can resume your duty to the crown tomorrow."
El Capone gazed for a while, smirked, hissed, and exclaimed. "I can't believe you are stopping me from performing my duty!"
"Only for tonight, dear husband, only for tonight," Andrea answered back, jerked her husband's right arm, and pulled him towards her chamber.
The vow of every real man is valid, and only a woman can cajole, coax or entice him against it.The case of El Capone was not different, as he was soon seen on the lap of his beautiful wife, who weaved his red curly hair."Banjo seemed a bit pissed when I instructed him to stay behind." El Capone whispered from his romantic position.
"He is always happy at the sight of blood, and his anger was anticipated."
"Now tell me the reason why you want me to stay at home tonight, we have been chit-chatting for hours." El Capone let out, raised his body, and peeked at the innocent look on his wife's face.
"I just want to be with you tonight, and thank you for indulging me."
El Capone soon laid back into his formal position.
Knowing Andrea, whatever reason prompts her to make such outrageous demands will only be divulged to him at the right time. And for now, he believed it was for his advancement, not for any selfish interest.She can have her wish tonight, hereafter, the gods will have theirs.And at the end, the land of the gods will be free from the grasp of the invading Country P merchants.Hours after El Capone had slept off, Andrea was seen tossing on the bed. She soon raised herself on her two elbows, peered at her sleeping husband, whose snoring by now had become a lullaby to her, and muttered to herself."I need to be prepared, and have a plausible reason when I will be delaying him next time."
She was aware she is playing a deadly game, and any mistakes will be drastic.
"He will be happy tomorrow," Andrea murmured, looking grimly, and resumed her murmuring.
"Or maybe furious, and believe it was all his fault, and he would have to make a difference if he was with them."Whatever, her husband is saved tonight and will remain protected, as long as she is alive.
As for the men who were sent tonight, Andrea muttered a brief prayer for their survivor. But deep inside, she knew the truth. They were nothing but sacrificial lambs. They were a gang of fifty mafias, and they were seen galloping on the back of horses on their way to a mission."Halt!" The man in the front screamed out, raised his right arm, and draw the reign of his horse to stop the beast's movement.
"We will walk from here, don't forget what the boss said, we must leave no survivor."
"Aye, there will be no survivors." One among the men answered back.
"I can see some light far off, I think they are still awake." Another man said in a whisper.
"We will walk close, then wait for a while if we see any movement on their farm." The team leader let out, hopped down his horse, and was soon followed by the rest of the mobs.
"It's too quiet and unsettling." One among the men whispered."Of course, it will be quiet. We are in the wood alone, Arnold." The leader of the team smirked back.
"Yes, but why are the insects and the rodents silent as well?" The man called Arnold asked.
"Your stupid question is enough to frighten them off, so you better keep your mouth shut, or I will blast it off with my shotgun."
And Arnold shivered back and quickly stepped off the reach of his angry senior.
Minutes later, they emerged at a tight route, walked for another minute, and suddenly, gunshots were heard all around them.
And the screaming of the men as they were shot soon filled the silent night.In a few minutes, all the men were slaughtered without knowing who pulled the trigger. Or maybe it doesn't matter to the dead.El Ramon was seen walking to and fro in his room, and his forlorn gaze portrayed an anxious man.
And in truth, he is.The phone in his hand vibrates, and he quickly accepts the call and asked."How Is it?""Done sir," a voice a the other side of the line answered back.
"Did you check their faces... Is my brother among them?"
"Yes, we check their faces, but your brother is not among them."
El Ramon whistled in frustration, disconnect the call, then fling the phone on the table in his front, and muttered out. "At least, El Capone men were caught, and this will reduce his constant assault."
Though he had wished for his brother's life, that is the only solution.
And the thought of the possibility of this tonight had left him in an excited mood. Yet, the fact that the information was accurate was a thing to be celebrated. Soon, his wish will be fulfilled, and the land will once again be united under him.True to Andrea's expectations, El Capone is as furious as a wounded bull in an arena, when he was told of his men's death. He glared at his wife and then asked. "Are you satisfied that the mission failed and my men were slaughtered?" "Dear husband, you should be grateful for my premonition, as am sure I would have been a widow now," Andrea muttered back with a sly grin. "Maybe I could have saved them." "You can't, they were attacked suddenly and your presence won't have made any difference." El Capone looked at his wife with anger for a while, then stormed out of her presence, and was seen shouting orders at his men. Andrea smiled as he stepped out, and was soon lost in thought. "The fish has taken the bait, now I need to plan on how to make use of this." She muttered to herself, and soon stepped after her husband, and saw him discussing with Banjo. "How can they know of our coming, I suspect there is a spy among us!" Banjo exclaimed. "Yes, my men were killed without firi
It was a night, and only the stars in the sky served as a light for the mafias as they sneaked close to their destination. Far off, four men in black uniforms were seen circling a campfire, and the heat from the flame drives their cold away. And at their back, a factory builds in a rectangular shape and covers over half a hectare of land. "Shh," the voice belonging to El Capone whispered. He raise his right hand, point to three of his men, and signal to them to follow him, while others quickly scurried toward the factory, some meters off. The blackwitch mafias were deep in discussions, unaware of the danger in their back. "The sky is getting dark, and the stars are getting chased off by the dark cloud." One of the men on a seat around the fire mumbled. "Yes, it will rain soon." "Our shift will soon be over, and let the rain fall for eternity if it chose after." The third of the men on the seat check the wristwatch in his hand and mumbled out. "Am feeling sleepy, am sure th
Three people were seen in deep conversation, inside El Capone's palace. "El Ramon had employed the services of snipers shooters, and will be distributing them into all the foreigner's farms and factories." Andrea let out. "Really, how did you hear about this?" Banjo asked with an unbelievable gaze. "Walls have ears," Andrea replied, facing El Capone, and said. "You need to plan about this when next you are attacking them." "Yes, we will put this into consideration," El Capone answered back. He looked at his wife for a while, then at his right-hand man, and said. "He is getting desperate, as he needs to get rid of me." "Can't we reason with him, perhaps we may be able to avoid further bloodshed?" Banjo asked with a concerned look. "No," El Capone replied. "Talking to my brother is like talking to a rock, and will yield no fruit." "So what are we going to do? If he is so desperate to get you out of the way, then we must also plan on how to get rid of him." "Leave him, Banjo.
The middle man between the country P merchants and the black ninja assassins is a tall man of over six feet with a barrel chest. And he was seen walking towards Johji inn, as the sun left the sky, and was taken over by the twilight that comes before darkness. Dressed in a white flowing garment and brown leather sandals, the man hummed along without a care in the world. "Keep walking and don't dare turn back," a voice with a feign crisp let out. The man obeyed, walked on, and pretend he wasn't the one addressed. "You want the service of the black ninja?" 'Yes, my client needs your service." "Heard you need ten assassins?" "Aye, the target is important and influential." "The black ninjas charge based on the risk and circumstances of the target, are you ready to pay for the service of ten professionals?" "My client is aware of your reputation and price, we are ready to pay whatever it cost." "Who is the target?" "El Capone." "El Capone?" The voice that answered back sound
To weaken El Capone, the foreign merchants started visiting the royal farms, holding meetings with farmers, and soon convinced them to revolt, and promised more money for their output. Since the royal house is the one regulating the price of opium, the farmers were only given what the house believed it's an appropriate price.So when Priest and his men promised the farmers to double what they were usually paid, their greed take over and riots burst out on most of the farms under the King's control. When El Capone heard of the ongoing riots, he called some of the team leaders among his men and they were seen discussing in the open space before his palace. "Have you all heard about the ongoing riots and strikes on our farms? " Yes." "That's the effect of the poison of the foreigners." "They will all be killed, along with the erring farmers." El Capone smiled when he see the fire in his men's eyes. In truth, he was blessed with faithful mafias who are ready to die for his sake. "
The environment is lively and joyous, and all humans around swirl to the sweet voice of Andrea as she entertained all guests with her music. Her entrail voice soon send all of them into reverie, and they muttered along with her. 'Life is short, unpredictable, and brutalHumans only live for a while, then gone like the morning dew on grassesRich or poor, strong or weak, all fate awaits us allThe King, the prince, and the commonersHumans, aliens, spirits, and beastOne day we shall embark on this journey of no return What will end is our picture on bannersAdieu they will sing, adieu to the departing soulAnd the carcass shall soon be dumped in a six feet holeSo when you are alive, eat, drink, and be merry Cause death may soon sneak on you when you least expectThe agent of dooms has no moral respectHiya ho... No respect. Hiya ho... No respect!' Men in tears wiped it off with the helms of their clothing, and their red eyeballs soon glowed when Andrea switched to a faster tempo
After several more hours of waiting, a letter arrived and the dispatcher quickly ride off, before the guards could respond to his sudden appearance. One of the guards, after checking the sealed envelope promptly hurried inside to deliver it to his boss. "A man on a power bike just tossed this inside the palace," the guard let out, with a bow. El Capone was in his usual melancholy mood, and he peered at his man with a deep scowl. "What's inside?" "A letter, I guess." El Capone looked closer at the envelope in the man's palm, and the logo seemed familiar. "Deliver it to Banjo, and informed him to come to me now." The man nodded once, turned around and soon scurried out of sight. A moment later, Banjo appeared in front of his boss, and the unhappy look on his face is enough for El Capone to know the source of the message. "Am sure it's from your agent, where are my merchandise, and mercenaries?" "They claimed the goods and the men were all ambushed by El Ramon, and they can't
The mafias in red uniforms sneaked close to their destination, and they soon emerged near the farm in a few hours. Banjo signalled to some of the men with him, pointed to some men laying under the palm trees, and some section of men crouched close to them. "This place is guarded by fifty blackwitch mafias and four mercenaries, attack the mercenaries, while we locate the opposition gang," Banjo whispered to the outgoing men in red uniform, signalling to the rest of the mobs with him, and they sneaked towards the lookout post that was placed at every strategic location. Seconds later, he pointed four fingers, then jerked his fingers towards the left side of them, and all the men glared at the men in black in a circle. "They were engrossed by the chess game in their midst." One among the men whispered. At a signal from the Banjo, four men fixed silencers to the nozzle of their guns, aimed at the men and four click sounds send the unaware mafias to their graves. "Two more men wer
