It was the smoke from afar that first caught the attention of those in pursuit of the prince, and they arrived at the scene a few moments later. Since the arson had taken place at night, the fire had almost razed the whole Inn down before help came, and it was the debris of the once glorified inn that was met when Jade and two overgrown bearded men arrived. "What happened here? This Inn was standing in its glory when we passed here yesterday," Jade announced after gawking at the remain of the Inn."It was burned down by an angry customer or through the staff's negligence. I think we should ask around.""That must be one of the staff. I suggest we go closer to find out.""We are after Onishi and not to find out the cause of a fire outbreak, " Jade mumbled, stepped after her two comrades and grumbled when her pessimism was ignored."Be quiet. It will take a few minutes, and who knows maybe the man we seek is connected to this.""Huh!""Hello, madam. So sorry for your loss."The recept
The clean-shaven sailors docked the ship inside Greenwich wharf, stepped out of the ship and were met by several armed mafias awaiting them with weapons raised."One more step and you are dead men," a voice shrieked among the grimly looking mafias, and the owner of the voice stepped out, peered at the two strange men and announced, "by the degree of Imperial royal highness, you were under arrest and your ship is confiscate.""Put your weapons away and take us to your prince.""Who are you?""We have a message for your prince.""Put the weapons away, but don't hesitate to blow their skulls to pieces if they dare make any stupid moves," the mafia in charge notified his men, stepped in front of the newcomers in tight sailors' uniforms and signal them to follow him."I suggest we handcuffed them, they looked dangerous to me.""Yes. I have never seen their faces before, and I bet they were mercenaries from the foreigners.""Handcuffed them.""Impossible," one of the sailors answered back,
Even though the sun is hot in the sky, making the exhausted prince sweat from head to foot, and his eyes red from hunger and exhaustion, Onishi walked for hours because his pride will not allow him to beg for a free ride. Knowing how impossible is it for him to trek over twenty kilometres distance, his mind was looking for a way out of his predicament, when his eyes caught sight of an Inn by the roadside. "Let me search for my sucker here."Been a large Inn with several ladies of services in attendance, the presence of the prince was overlooked as he strolled into the liquor section, sat with a sighed and peered around. Just like Johji Inn, the ladies of service were glamorous and nudely dressed, the Inn smelled nice and the sound from the speakers nearby completes the setting. Having no cash with him, his eyes flickered with hunger, and he was about to throw his pride aside and beg for a cup of liquor when he felt a lady of service studying him from afar, then walking closer when
It was Andrea's booming voice that woke the two men out of bed and after rubbing their eyes and smiling to appreciate the dawn of a new day, they both stood up, went into the bathroom and had a warm water bathe, then got dressed, and then walked into the prince and his wife's presence.Andrea stood up from her piano, bowed at the two men, and then sat at her usual place beside her husband."I hope you enjoy your night," she asked after their visitors had sat at the chairs close by."Of course, we slept like a log of wood and it was your music that dragged us out of bed.""What about the ladies of service I ordered for you? I hope they took you to nirvana with their warm honeypot.""Oh... No. We send them out of our room and warned them not to disturb you, but to go back to their inn.""Why will you do that? I paid a fortune to bring them down here, and you still have the gut to reject them. Tell me, are they not pretty enough for your liking?""Of course, they are beautiful. We had bo
Jade and her accomplices had vowed not to return to no man's island until Onishi is found. Since giving up is out of the option, the three assassins stepped into their fourth inn, peeked around, and then wobbled into the liquor section. and this was the reason why they lodge at an Inn overnight, and then resumed their mission as soon as brightness chased the darkness away. So far, all the Inns visited had produced no positive results.After seating down around a table and ordering some bottles of liquor, the three customers' eyes darted around the inn to search for their target. Moments later, Jade's eyes fell on a familiar face, and she immediately signal to her comrades, stood from her seat and walked towards the ladies of services who had been gawking at them since they emerged inside. "Your face is familiar... Have you ever worked in Johji Inn before?" "Aye. I remember you-, Jade! Am I the right?" "Yes. It's good to see your face again. How is life treating you?" "Good and b
Since their arrival on this island, Priest and his lucky survivors had been hidden inside a small cottage in a ranch far from the main city. Luckily for them, their hideout was owned by a Country P citizen trading over them and this made Priest's mind to be relaxed in terms of safety, but filled with anxiety at the absence of Onishi. All hope, dream and desire seemed to be dashed against the wall when the prince reported that no mercenaries is waiting for him, and he knew he was only waiting to confirm if this is a joke before ordering his death. When the silence becomes intolerable, Augur who is seating close to Priest and staring at his dejected face asked, "What's the way out now?" "We need to wait until Onishi comes. I don't think there is anything we can do in his absence." "Except he had been swindling us all this while, there is no reason why he shouldn't be here by now." "Barrymore is right, it's over twelve hours since we last heard from him." "Yes. Even if he trekked f
Four heavily armed men stepped into an overcrowded Inn and a fight occur immediately. A moment later, the booming Inn was like a deserted cemetery in the middle of the night and only the staff and some die-hard customers were seen gawking at the bloodstained men who seemed to be enjoying the whole scenario"You all ran off after starting a fight with us. I never knew this island is filled with pansies.""Who is the manager of this inn?"Come and have the money for everything that was destroyed during the quarrel," One among the men cried out in loud voice, dipped his hand inside his trouser and brought out some piles of cash."Hey! Are you deaf?"When no one came out of hidden, he dropped the money on top of a table close by, signalled to his comrades, and they all walked out of the rectangular-shaped inn, into the large compounds, and closer to the gate of the Inn."To the next Inn.""Am hungry. Let's look for something to eat.""Hey... Look up." A car drove into sight, parked far o
The room is small, clean and tidy. And only a tiny mattress beside the window served as the furniture. After removing his shoe, the weary prince sat with a growl and lolled his back on the blue-painted wall."This is my room and you are safe as long as you are here.""Thank you, I owe you my life and will forever be grateful to you.""No need to pledge forever indebted to me... What will you like for breakfast?""Am not hungry, please. My situation is overwhelmingly and had denied me of my appetite for food.""I insist that you eat something to regain your strength for the task ahead.""First tell me how you planned to help me."The lady removed the little clothing on her body and sat naked beside Onishi."First and foremost, you must realize that Priest won't forgive you for betraying him, neither will he agree that the failed mission is not your fault," she paused her speech, breath in loud, fixed her eyes on the man in his front and resumed, "attack is the best form of defence, I
