All Chapters of A CAT HAS 9 LIVES: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Hi, my name's Jericho Clay and I'm a sixty-five years old farmer. I got murdered by my wife and my best friend and was suddenly reincarnated into the body of one of the most ruthless Mafia boss of all time, Giovanni Israel. It was fun while it lasted. More importantly, I've got nine lives to save Israel's criminal empire from the clutches of the mysterious Lorelei Capello. No joke, I got to discover one of Israel's brothers was a traitor but I handled him just right. Now I have a new mission. The mission in Tokyo Japan. I was going to find Nagisa, a frontman to Lorelei. I have no idea what's in store for me but I'm pumped up for action. Closing my journal, I put it away and ran my hands over my face. I reached out for my cigarette case and took out a cigarette and burned the end up. Drawing in the rich smoke, I sighed contently and relaxed more in my chair. Man I felt great. Israel's customized cigarette was one in a million but the cost of these cigarette was highway robber

I walked into the room, my free hand holding the end of my cigarette. Knife, Ginny and Sienna were waiting for me. They all looked up as I walked in. I didn't wait for anyone. I began talking. " Alright, everyone listen up. I arranged for this meeting cause we're on a special mission." I paused to let that sink into their skulls. When no one answered, I proceeded. To Ginny, I asked, " what've you got for me, Ginny?" Ginny had grown thinner. I could tell the snow made her that way. Still, Ginny wasn't the type to go less attractive. She was always attractive wether thin, fat or slim. Ginny crushed her cigarette. She was seated beside the window. " Nothing special. I showed knife Nagisa's home. Her family are made up of numerous families all together. Uncles, grandparents, aunties, cousins and so on. It's an extended family. They're scattered across Japan. Nagisa lives with her Uncle. She works as a geisha at her uncle's Chashitsu." I frowned. " What's a Chashitsu?" " A Cha

What is it like to spend an evening with a geisha? I recently got to do this. Horuto, Nagisa's uncle was organising an evening with a couple of geishas in a private tea house, of which he was the owner.A Toyota 2000GT drove outside the Horuto's chashitsu. I came down the car and tossed the keys to a waiting grinning Japanese servant boy. " Take care of her," I said to him and adjusted my suit. The boy nodded and bowed. There's one thing I love about Japan. They do know a lot about accuracy and order. I've enjoyed their parking service. It's nice. I stared at Haruto's Chashitsu. It was just as Knife had described it to me. Chashitsu is a Japanese architectural space designed to be used for tea ceremony gatherings. Aside the teas, Haruto's Chashitsu also has an onsen. An onsen is a natural hot spring bath, and thanks to its plentiful volcanic activity Japan has lots of them. Onsen water is geothermally heated beneath the ground and rises to the surface bubbling hot. Haruto st

Sienna had dressed into a kimono and was titivating herself before the mirror. She was at it when her shoji door slid opened, revealing Nagisa. Sienna took in a deep breath as she turned around and faced Nagisa.She was aware this pretty Japanese girl would be difficult. With the little information Jericho had fed her ears with, she was certain she could take Nagisa down. Nagisa hadn't changed out of her geisha outfit yet. She still held that captivating look that had stunned Jericho. She knew Nagisa had made an impression on his mind. Whatever the reason was, she was prepared to carry out her duty to Israel. She must protect Jericho and earn his loyalty same way she had always done to Israel. " You asked for me?" Nagisa asked and it was surprising how soft and compelling her voice sounded. " Yes," Sienna said, brushing a strand of her hair aside and working her charm. " That was an extraordinary performance you did back there. I love it."Nagisa bowed slightly. " Thank you."Sie

Nagisa sat at the back while Knife drove. I sat beside her, sticking the tip of my gun under her rib cage. I had taken the trouble of having her handcuffed. She wouldn't be causing any trouble as long as I had her hands cuffed behind her back. Sienna sat at the passenger seat at the front. She kept staring at Nagisa and I through the rear mirror. It had been a smooth operation. We sneaked out of the Chashitsu before the servants would realize the massacre. None of us said anything to each other during the long drive. You could feel the tight tension in the car.Suddenly, Nagisa spoke, " Where're we going?"I didn't know if to answer her or not. Knife glared at her through the rear mirror. His expression told me he disapproved of her greatly." Shut up," I said, threatening her with the gun. " I don't wanna pull a bullet through your heart."Nagisa smirked at me. " Try it. You wouldn't dare open fire in traffic. If you do, you'd be inviting the cops."The traffic was getting slow. Th
