The lone traveller walked through the night and arrived at the front of the palace's big black gate. Since the mafias were alert at the other side of the gate, it was promptly opened, after the lady had identified himself. "Is her majesty available to attend to me?" "Yes. She is expecting you. Can you hear the sound of her guitar and her melodious voice?" "Aye. Did she always bless you with her gift every night?" "Not always. You are lucky tonight." "Am always lucky. Ain't I?" Both pairs walked through the long corridor and passed various checkpoints and numerous gates that are guarded by red eyes mafias. After being checked for any concealed weapons on the seventh time at the last gate, they were admitted into Andrea's compartment of the palace, and the mafia signalled to the lady to go ahead. As the lady walked closer, the power of Andrea's melodious voice gripped her consciousness, and she had to admit the gods were benevolent by giving humans the gift of music. Afraid to
When Zuma arrived at the palace the following morning, he was shocked to see the lady who was arrested yesterday seating inside the palace and sipping from a bottle of liquor in her hand. "Welcome, please seat down." Though the seat beside the lady was vacant, the angry mafia chooses to seat some miles off, bowed at the man on the throne and the lady beside him. "You did a marvellous job over there and am impressed with the changes in the inn in a few days." "Thank you, your highness." "Your experience is needed in the palace, so I have decided to promote you and make you the leader of the mafias in charge of the east flank. I hope you will make judicious use of this opportunity." "Thank you, your highness, for the trust you have in me. I'm happy my little effort was noticed." "Indeed it is. You have made so many profits, secure the inn more and brought lots of changes in the administration of the Inn. These are achievements that deserved accolades." "Have buttered up with this
As usual with Johji Inn at this time of the day, the place is as dry as desert land when Jade stepped through the gate, and all eyes fell on her as she walked closer, staggering like a barfly. Shocked by the appearance of the lady, the ladies of attendance can be seen gathering to talk over the unexpected arrival of who they thought will be locked up inside the cell in the palace. "Is that not the lady that murdered the mafia, why is she here and not in the chain?" "Maybe she is innocent. I can't believe a fragile lady like her can murder that huge mafia." "Can you see the way she is walking, I guess she is drunk or on drugs." "Shh. She is closer to us." "Are you afraid of her? Why should I lessen my voice?" The lady watched her as she stepped passed them, then tiptoed after her, when she walked towards the sections made for managers and administrators. "Where is she going?" "Let's follow her and see." The lady who just emerged is far different from the Jade they were used to
As soon as the sun lost its hotness, Johji Inn soon became filled with the legs of customers who seek for liquor, sex or just to feed their eyes. Hours later, the DJ's music collided with the time the stars emerged in the sky and the noisy place quickly became more disturbing by the loud music and the gags of the drunk customers. Only a few people noticed the lady dressed in a white backless top and blue skimpy skirt as she emerged out of the administrative's section, stepped into the liquor section and ordered a bottle of the strongest liquor in the store.Being a single lady in such an environment, all the male eyes around soon divert towards her exposed flesh and a bold one among the secret admire stood up from his seat, picked up his bottle of liquor and walked toward the half-closed eye lady who waved to the wild beat. "Hello, mind if I seat with you?" Since the lady appeared to be deaf or just ignoring him, the tall and well-muscled man with a bald head sat with a grunt, sipp
Jade wasn't sleeping and had heard the splashing of the gasoline as it was poured from outside. As a result of the overwhelming smell, she needs no soothsayer to inform her of the content that was poured inside or the reason for such absurd action. "Hey get up, we need to get out of here." The tall man grunted back, rolled on his back and snore louder. She knew she had no choice than leaving the drunk and sleeping man, so she stood up, whacked the heavy stool on the wooden window and hopped out of the room. To make judicious use of the large land, the formal owner of the Inn had joined all the lady's rooms with the Inn's wall, and the windows lead directly out of Johji's fence. Constructed over a large wasteland, few people had the resources to build their houses in that area and those who can afford it preferred to spend their money in profitable places and not in a slum with the commoners. As a result of this, only the Inn stood in its glory among the vast land that is now cove
The priest was rooted in a spot as the two assassins disappeared into the darkness and were gone instantly.A moment later when he regained consciousness, he raced after them and searched through the darkness, then gave up at the realisation that they had left mysteriously the way they entered. Without wasting time, the anxious-looking foreigner pressed the alarm button and the whole headquarters became alive with noises that blared out from several speakers that had been fixed at various spots inside the headquarters. "Who pressed the alarm button?" Augur who just arrive at the muster point in front of the veranda that lead into their section of flats asked with a sleepy face. "I did. I just had some visitors from the black ninjas." "What! How did they manage to penetrate inside here?" "Either from the front gate or the rear gate. The alarm system on the wall wasn't tampered with, which signifies they didn't the fence." "Here comes the leader of the guard in charge of the front
To claim Andrea was relieved when she found out that the corpses were that of two males was an understatement, she was extremely delighted. In as much as she couldn't reckon how Jade had disappeared from the room and was replaced by a man, the fact her wild friend is alive made her smile boldly as she walked into El Ramon's section of the room, stooped to pet the wolf who yawn lazily on the doorway, stepped over it and emerged in the presence of the prince in white short and singlet. "I have good news and bad one. Which one should I tell you first." "The bad news first. At least, I will use the good news to console myself." Andrea pushed him feebly to the chair, leapt on him and removed the medallion on his neck then let out, "this is mine now." "And the good news is that Jade is alive? Well, your both are bad news to me because will be losing the treasure I cherished so much." El Ramon snorted out with a disappointed gape. "So sorry, my dear husband. A promise is a commitment an
Jade has successfully sneaked out of Greenwich island and was seen sloping on a long plastic chair beside a seashore and enjoying the sunshine that usually comes before heavy downpours. To most passersby who had come to seek fun in this serene environment, she was just a fragile and helpless girl who had probably sought loneliness to forget a heartbreaking. Little did they know the lady who closed her eyes in feigned sleep had murdered countless people, and only enjoyed the contentment that comes after taking human life.What she feels whenever she snuffs the life out of her poor victim can be compared to the euphoria that is only felt by the gods. Since they were the ones who determined if someone will live or die, feeling like them whenever she copied from their potential is something to be proud of to a sadistic mind like Jade. Her smile became considerable when she remembered how she had snuffed life out of her miserable victims, and her journey through the forest until she arri
