The two men were discovered missing the following morning, and a search party was instantly organized to search for them. Hours later, the searching party returned with empty hands, as the men were never found. Their pictures were posted as missing in every nook and cranny of the island, and a large reward was offered to anyone who have any information about the men's whereabouts. An inquiry was set up about their sudden disappearance, but those investigating soon met lots of bottlenecks when all the witnesses suddenly vanished into thin air. Days later, the men's file was kept aside, as other matters of urgency soon arise, and the whole group of merchants, soon engrossed in their newfound challenge. A letter suddenly arrived from El Capone, and he had requested the foreign merchants to present him the sales record for the past ten years of their transactions, and the amount they had been selling a kilogram of opium to their respective customers. Secondly, the foreigners were ins
The phone inside El Capone's main parlour rang for a while, then picked up by Andrea, who just stepped into the room. "Hello, am I speaking with his royal highness?" The voice on the other side of the call asked. "No, his wife is on the line." "Libra is speaking, I need to talk to him." "He is busy and far from me, but speak, and I will deliver your message." The line remain silent for a while, and then the voice on the other side mumbled. "El Ramon visited me, and offered me a bribe to accept only his signature on the Country P's foreigners invoice." "So what was your reply?" "That he should give me some time to inform my comrades. He threatened to kill me if I refused his offer." "Thank you for informing us, I will tell my husband, and he will get back to you." "Please do, we are in precarious conditions." "Can I ask for your opinion about the ongoing crisis?" The man on the other side of the call paused for a while, groaned, and let out. "Though El Capone's decision wil
The new year celebration is a sacred festival that was introduced by the first mafia king of Greenwich island, either as a way to appreciate the whole inhabitants for their massive support to the crown or because of another reason that was best known to the inventor of this celebration.The festival had survived lots of years of practice and had suddenly become the custom of the inhabitants. During these three days, all dwellers were expected to be in the palace, as all their daily needs will be provided for by the mafia king, while rich men and important personalities seeking favour from the king will come with various gifts and money.It's always a get-together party, as the whole palace will be filled with music, games and various competitions. As the two heirs to the throne, custom demands them to appear inside the king's palace to relate with the people, and failure to do this will be unimaginable. El Capone and Banjo were seen in deep conversation, as they walked among the maf
The spectators inside El Ramon's palace, the following morning can be described in only one word.Innumerable!The hall was filled to the brim, and only those who were of noble birth were seen on chairs, while the majority of the spectators stood and gaped at the beautiful woman with an enthralling voice, as she sing the fable of the elephant that desire royalty and the cunning tortoise. Sometimes ago, the land of animals was plagued with wars and famine, and the two tusks of an elephant are needed for a sacrifice. Because the elephant is living far away in another land, an emissary is needed to trick one of the elephants into the midst of the other animals, who will be laying in ambush. After a long deliration, a tortoise was chosen to carry out this assignment. This chosen tortoise thought for a while, then decided on a course of action. It prepared a lot of sweet cake, then a drum, and walked for days, in search of the elephant's territory. Luckily, a lone elephant was seen ea
A lady of advanced age was seen in a modestly decorated room with little furniture, and in front of her was young a man of early thirty. Their moods were grave, as both were seen in deep discussion. "Did El Capone accept our offer?" The young man asked. "Yes, he won't have a choice but to accept." "Will he honour his agreement, when the time arrived?" "We will force him to, I have been circulating the rumours among the royal mafias about this." "Am afraid, mother." "You don't have to. You need to be bold and fearless before you can take what rightly belongs to you," the woman answered back, drawing her son closer, and then caressing his shoulder. "What if we calculated wrongly, and El Ramon emerged as the winner?" "I have been thinking of this as well, and I want to make some commitments with him, as soon as possible." "Isn't that dangerous, what if El Capone heard of this?" "How will he hear? Beside, snatching the throne was never an easy task." "So how did you plan on ach
The island of Greenwich was soon filled with indigenous living on other islands who came for the celebration. And most of the businesses in the land boomed and prices soon skyrocketed because of many people that were chasing a few products. The locked gate of the mafia king's palace was opened, cleaned, and alive with people who walk to and fro, as they await D-day. Feeding of the inhabitants started a day before the celebration, and different daggers soon emerged to slaughter the cows packed in a fenced area, for the occasion. Andrea was in charge and her voice was heard, as she instructs the chefs about the cooking arrangement. "We will be cooking several dishes, and I want everything done before noon." A lady walked forward and asked. "Are we feeding everybody, when the food is done?" "Yes, let everyone eat to satisfaction and merry," Andrea answered back, stepped forward, and was seen attending to other sections of people. A moment later, men in black uniforms emerged, and t
An unrighteous man will run when no one pursued him, but a truthful man will be as bold as a lion. The shivering woman was seen emerging inside El Ramon's palace, walked towards his main parlour, and was asked to join El Ramon immediately. The inside of the palace was filled with innumerable treasures, arts, and sculptures. And the woman peeked around with awe. "I want to know the woman he is meeting." El Ramon's voice jolted the woman back to reality, and she quickly stepped towards the mafia prince as the man in his front walked out. Dressed in White and matching suede, the man in her front looked more like a movie star than a prince to the throne of the largest island in Asia. "Good morning, your highness," the aged woman bowed, and let out. "Please sit down, and tell me what I should offer you." Contrary to the woman's expectations, the voice that addressed her was friendly and the smile on the prince's face was welcoming. So she smiled back and mumbled. "Thank you, but no
Dressed in a polo shirt and trousers, with waist coast of the same blue-dark wool, and a hat made of straw, a young man walked hastily after Kurt, and he was seen, stepping inside Johji Inn, after his target. As usual, he waved off the lady's attempt to embrace and dragged him towards their rooms, as his eyes were only fixed on his victim. "Please let go of my shirts, as I have no time to waste on frivolity," the young man screamed at a determined lady who jerked at his waistcoat. He saw Kurt enter the section meant for liquor drinkers, so he followed, and sat close to him.Disguised by his big hat that covered half of his face, his presence remained unknown to his comrade. So he ordered a bottle of liquor, brought out a novel, and pretends to be deep in reading, while his eyes focused on the man In his front. A moment later, a lady walked forward, stopped close to Kurt, stooped, and whispered into his left ear.When Kurt stood up and followed the lady, the mafia in disguise quickl
