The foreigner's headquarters was not left behind in the ongoing renovation of the Island, and foreign expatriates were invited to construct a fortress within their fenced mass of land. Because the dead king had declared that area of land as Country P's merchants' property, they do not need to seek permission from anyone as they were free to use the land as they desire, as long as the contract lasted. Men with shining skins from nutritious food and pot belle from excess wine and beers were seen gazing at the ongoing work, and offering their unsolicited advice." "We need a big mansion with enough security checkpoints, high towers, and different underground routes that will lead inside and outside of the rooms to different locations far from here." "We know what you want, and we are assuring you that your desire will be fulfilled. Just be patient and watch us as we do our work." "We won't accept smaller parlours and rooms. It must look royal and must be more glamorous than the mafias
Money, they say is like a river, and those who knew its banks will never lack. Because Madam Shasha was ambitious, cunning, and bold enough to take the risk involved, she had amassed millions of dollars in a few weeks. And with this rate, she will soon be the richest woman on this island, a title that was never owned by any inhabitants of this island, except, of course, the wives of the mafias. And this is just the beginning. The smiling woman could imagine the kind of wealth awaiting her when Priest finally climb the throne of the mafia king. Innumerable!Born fifty-nine years ago into a peasant family, Madam Shasha had grown up in deprivation. And it was the greatest shock of all when she emerged as the prettiest lady on the island despite her impoverished feeding and clothes.Numerous men seek her hand in marriage. The super-rich, the powerful mafias, and the prosperous merchants all come with various gifts only for one purpose, to marry the most elegant lady on Greenwich islan
And the men were right, the royal house had got wind of the incident, and a meeting concerning the whole security force of the island was called by El Ramon.All the royal mafias gathered in the large hall that was constructed for the purpose, and they all seat in line to await the crown prince of the island. Because freedom of speech is assured and not freedom after the speech, the men whispered among themselves to avoid eavesdroppers who may carry theirs talking about to the ears of those on the throne. "A man that brought home a maggots-infected wood is the one that invites the presence of lizards to his house," one among the men said in a proverb, and others agreed with him by nodding their heads at his wise saying. "We can't just open our eyes and watched the island destroyed because of our prince's leniency. It's Madam Shasha's turn today, who knows who will be following." "I agree with you, and I suggest we demand a right to own weapons and bodyguards. We can't always rely o
As the adage goes, two people can never be ignorant of lies. If the one we are lying to those not know, the liar must know it's a lie. In the case of Madam Achia and Andrea, both knew Madam Achia was lying about her denial of her son's visit, and the two couples were seen in discussions as soon as the woman left their midst." "That woman is a pathetic liar and nearly fools me with her crocodile tears." "Imagine crying like a banshee on top of lies. She is fit to be an actress." "I agree with you. So what should be done now?" "What's on your mind?" El Ramon was about to speak, then changed his mind as a guard strode inside and announced, "the board of committee of the royal treasury are here." "Allow them in." Libra lead the men inside, and they all bowed and seat in front of the two couples. "Welcome, I hope you are not disturbed by my sudden invitation?" "Not at all, we know is for the growth of this island." "I welcome you once again into my palace, and I won't beat around
The breeze that blows the news of Madam Shasha's sudden disappearance soon blows it to the ears of the Country P merchants, and they were seen gathering inside their usual joint, as they discussed the unexpected turn of events.Contrary to their usual mood, the men's faces were filled with sadness and anxiety. "I still find all this doubtful and believe Madam Shasha planned this, then disappeared with our money," Augur sighed and let out. "I agree with you. How are we sure she even ordered the service of the black ninjas? We have been trusting her blindly all this while," Aries announced. Priest shake his head, and said, "I don't think she conned us. But I believe the royal house is responsible for this kidnapping." "Why did you think so?" "Look at the steps El Ramon had suddenly taken. Just as if he had been planning this all this while and just waiting for the right opportunity." "You have a point. But what about the rumour of the white angels? I heard they were led by Madam Ac
Back in the foreigner's headquarters, the three Musketeers were seen inside Priest's private quarters, as they gave him feedback on their mission. "Can you now see that Madam Shasha was truly kidnapped?'' The priest announced as soon as Aries completed his part of the story. "Yes. None of her staff knew her whereabouts. And they all agreed that she won't even dare to breathe when away from her Inn." "And did you meet the assassins?" "No. Their agents insist they must remain anonymous for secrecy's sake." "Have heard so many tales of the black ninja's agent, and I wish to see her even once. Just to satisfy my curiosity." "I can arrange that," Aries replied with a grin. "How, will she come over here?" "Yes. She had agreed to be my unofficial consort." "Is that not dangerous? She is a dangerous woman from what I have learned about her so far." "Have warned Aries that he is playing with fire. The black ninjas are not to be messed with." "Am up to the task. Have you forgotten tha
"We now have enough evidence to arrest the foreigners," El Ramon announced after hearing madam Shasha's confession. "Yes. I suggest we rescue Madam Shasha and bring her here." "I will inform our men when they come tonight. Until then, there is little we can do." "I never expect her confession to be so fast. Whatever means they use is very effective." "In truth, it is. We have a lot to learn from the white angels." "I suggest we host a party and invite all the important royal mafias and honourable men, then play this cassette and let them hear with their ears." "Good idea. They can ask her any questions they have after." "And I will issue the arrest of the foreigners as well." "But what about our business with them? This island can't survive without their ships, knowledge of the sea, and a place to sell the goods. That was why your father had been tolerating them for so long." "Yet, we can't allow their treachery to go unpunished." "That was why we create the white angels. Let
Madam Achia's house was ransacked for hours, and just when the mafias were given up in their search, one among them kicked a bowl on his way, and the bucket tumbled and the severed head of madam Shasha rolled into sight.The mafia that saw this peered closer, looked stunned, and cried out, "please come and see this strange thing." "Where?" "What is it?" "A human head." "Oh my goodness. This is madam Shasha's head." "What? Let me take a look." Andrea peered out of the midst of the mafias, stare at the head for several minutes, turned at the woman at her back, and asked, "how did her head enter your house and where is the remaining part of the body?" "I have no idea of this accusation. Asked the lady you sent to plant the head here." "Aliya. Come over here." "Here am I. Your majesty." "Did you bring this head over here?" "Before all gods. I only came here with my handbag, and the gateman can bear my witness." "Where is the gateman?" "Here am I. Your majesty." "What did you
