Onishi released his newfound lover from an absurd position, stand up from his kneeling posture, and breathed out loud."Did you enjoy the lovemaking?""Aye. It keeps getting better.""I wish we can make a baby now. High time we have an heir to the throne of Greenwich.""Too late. There is an heir already.""I don't understand.""Prince El Ramon's wife delivered a boy and he is with the mafia's assassins as we are speaking.""We must kill him. We can't afford to let him grow and claimed the throne.""Killing a baby is the least of my headache. Did you think your plug will supply mercenaries strong enough to defeat them?""The men you were talking about were trained and spent all their lives combatting. My plug knows a lot about them and he will send those who are capable of eradicating them.""Am scared of them. They look unbeatable to me.""No mortal is indomitable... Don't worry, my plug's men were up to the task.""Let's be on our way," Onishi mumbled as he picked up his clothing to
After swallowing more bottles of scotch, the crossed-eyed barman signal his visitor to follow him, and the trio walked out of the inn, into the dark environment, and were swallowed by the overwhelming darkness. "My clients were already waiting for us, please walk fast." Onishi hold Angel's hand and both sauntered with fingers intertwined, circled the large inn, and arrived in front of a small barn that was built with planks. "Follow me inside," the barman muttered, and the creaking of the door as it was pulled sounded louder in the silent night. Where they emerged was an empty barn, except for several wooden boxes and black polythene bags. And several lanterns hung on the roof turn their shadows into grotesque images. "It's okay. No need to grip my fingers in fear." "Am not scared." "You are." The light from their host torchlight lead the way, and the two gentlemen and a lady wobbled after it. Suddenly, the sound of the creaking wooden door as it was closed sounded for the s
Augur was the first to step into Priest's room after Sheila left, and he stood in horror at the lifeless man sprawling on the mattress in his pools of blood. He knew who did it and why she did what she did.It had seemed absurd when Sheila brought the suggestion, and it takes Augur's slow mind some days to accept the decision he made in a moment of anxiety."Why should everybody die because of a man's decision? The priest is fighting a lost battle and will bring everyone down along with him.""I agree, but what can we do? He is the most influential, richest and all my future is tied to him.""Kill him and take over your company. I will inform prince El Ramon of your service and beg him to support you.""Did you think he will agree with that?""Yes. This island still needs your services and knowledge of the sea. Even though your ships may be impounded by the prince, he won't still have the courage to send his men into the open sea without an experienced sailor.""Even though it was Pr
Harmony returned to the ranch as soon as the assassins left and only lasted for a while. "You killed him to look for the Prince's favour, isn't it?""I already told you the truth. It was Sheila that murdered him. I only lied to them to save our heads.""Tell that to a clown. You are the one that murdered him, and I feel pity for the poor lady you were lying on. Who knows what you did to her.""Keep your mouth shut and get off my sight. If you are too blind to comprehend the situation we are in, then there is no point proving to you that I did everything for all of us."The short, fat and equally mean-looking man shakes his head in disgust, hissed and let out, "did she help you to murder him, and then got murdered by you, or did you do it all alone.""Keep talking and I will put a bullet in your skull.""I had suspected there was a spy among us but had never believed it was one of the three Musketeers.""Tell me more!""Did prince promise you his post if you killed him?""Aye. And som
The seven beasts were in a melancholy mood since the news of Jade's death, and nothing seemed to be working to make them happy. Not even the presence of the gift from the royal palace."El Ramon and his wife send us a ship and invitation to the palace for their wedding and coronation.""You guys should go and leave me with the baby. I'm not in the mood for celebration after losing my only daughter.""Jade's death is painful to all of us and it will be difficult to forget her. Yet, we can't keep living in this miserable mood forever.""Please let me be. I want to mourn her as long as I can. Go without me."The five men sighed, shrugged, and hissed. And then walked out of their ranch and were immediately lost in the dawn that covered the world at its time. It was the cries of a baby that brought the lost thought man out of his reverie, and he immediately stood up and wobbled closer to the baby couch far off, picked him up and began to sing a lullaby and dance along. Thirty-one years a
'Click.'The merchant looked stunned when the gun in his hand produce no sound, and he pressed the trigger again and again. A sudden uppercut send him rolling on the ground, and two hands jerked him up and then smacked him on the floor. "Wound you have shot me if there is a bullet in the gun?""No. Ahh! Am dying.""Take him out and bring me his head... And you, why are you so dumb that he snatched a gun from you and shoot at me? I would have been dead meat if I had not out rule putting bullets in your guns whenever you are around me in the palace."Am so sorry, my lord.""Too bad. I was considering your past service to the crown and this is the reason why I will spare your life. Collect my gun and every other thing belonging to me and stripped him of his uniform.""Please forgive me, my lord.""Get off my sight."The life of a mafia prince is difficult, and any leniency may result in a drastic outcome. That is why is easier to climb the mafia throne than to remain on it for a long t
"Why did you agree to trick me?""Am sorry, your highness. Her majesty made me do it.""Where is she?""I have no idea.""This may cost you your life. Speak now.""Before all gods, I have no idea where she went to. I was ordered to remain indoors and not to attend to anyone until she comes back.""What kind of clothing did she wear?""An oversize black gown, scarf and black net... She was talking to herself and I believe she is on her way to search for Jade.""Gush!" El Ramon exclaimed, cast a killing look on the kneeling lady, shakes his head and announced, "I will be back for you. Remain indoors and don't attend to anyone."The lady was too shocked at his shrieking voice, and the prince did not care to wait for an answer, but breathed out loud and stormed out of his wife's room."Where is Banjo?""At the rear gate.""Call him for me now!"He was still fuming and walking from one end of his palace to the other end when Banjo strolled inside, bowed and let out, "here I am, my lord.""
All Banjo's efforts to locate Andrea proved abortive, and after searching through the nook and cranny of the Inn, he shrugged, hissed and instructed some of the men at his back to go into the town and search for her. All the ladies of services claimed they haven't seen any stranger except for a lady who believed she saw someone in a black tuxedo and head scarf."Where is she?""I have no idea. She informed me she is a new worker here, and I advised her to stand on her feet and look for customers.""Did you see her after?""No.""Did she talk with anyone else?""Not sure. I was picked by a rich merchant and we were together afterwards.""Don't hesitate to inform any mafia around whenever you see her again.""I will. Did she steal something from the palace?""Worse than that.""Any bounty on her head."Banjo nodded his head, stepped closer to the lady and whispered, "she is supposed to get married to my best friend in two days. My friend is dying from her absence, and I had vowed to ca
