Tongkat Ali of Life

This is the last room you want to be. Ice room is actually a torture room. You rather be dead than to be in the Ice room. 

Ice room is actually a freezer where we kept our stuff to remain fresh. I can’t tell you the exact location because we have few Ice rooms around Asia.

 Only Godfather can authorize the team to use the Ice room. Before the victim was brought to the Ice room, he will be blindfolded & the hands and leg will be tied by cable tie.

Godfather does not want anybody to know the location of the Ice room. Godfather only let few of his trusted godson to handle the Ice room. 

Once the team reached the destination, the team will wear the leather jumper to keep the team warm. The team will also wear mask to ensure the victim does not recognized anyone of them.

 After we done, we will remove the blindfold and the cable tie from the victim. We will strip him naked.  Godfather has designed a special wrist & ankle tie to the victim that his or her hand will spread out when we control it at the other end. 

There will be a big block of ice, 3 feet high by 4 feet width by 7 ft length. The team will get the victim to lie on the thick block of ice.  The longest record time that a victim is able to withstand without feeling the pain is 5 minutes.  

Once the skin touches almost zero degree, the victim will feel the numb and after awhile the pain. If the victim still does not admit his or her wrongdoing or give us the information that Godfather needed, the team go to plan B.  

Plan B: The team will splash a bucket of water on the victim’s body. At this time, the victim will feel extra cold and the water that drip down to the block of ice will causes the victim skins to frostbite.  The victim can’t move his or her body too much.

If the victim tried too move too hard, the skin will tear and stick to the block of ice. The coldness of the Ice room made the victim’s blood flow very slow and it will not mess up the place. So far, the team has a 100% success rate of getting information from the enemies. 

As soon as the team gets the information needed, the team will release the victim.

 The team encourages the victim to tell others about the Ice room.

The samurai sword that I carried was getting heavier and heavier after the fight at club Monaco. 

Rain was falling down and it helps me to clean up the blood on my body.

Some bloodstains still stuck on my white shirt. 

Behind the alley, I was hiding, I didn’t know how many had died in the fight but I knew that I survived. 

I felt the pain on my arm from the cut.

I looked at the cut and it was a deep cut.

I need to go somewhere to clean up myself. 

Monaca’s Club was a club that Godfather usually hangs out. 

As usually, part of the club belongs to Godfather.

It served Japanese foods but I don’t know why it called Club Monaco. 

Once Kidd told me it called Club Monaco because Godfather went to Monaca and felt in love with the place there but it still doesn’t make sense. 

The rival group dragon Inc. was planning to assassinated Godfather, it was a well-planned set-up. 

Godfather was lucky, when we reached the club; I felt the urge to release myself, I went to the washroom, which was at the back of the club. 

While I was passing through, I accidentally knocked on the guy shoulder, I saw a tattoo mark on his arm and from that moment on I felt something fishy. 

I rushed to Godfather and whispered it in his ear and later he asked Kidd and I to check the kitchen.  

True enough, most of the working stuffs looked suspicious. 

We tried to call the person in charge of the club but we couldn’t get him on the line. 

Later we found out he and the whole families were murdered due to his loyalty to Godfather. 

We went to our car to get our equipments.  

We went into the club pretended nothing happened. 

We waited for the culprit to show up. 

As many believes that once you are in, you will not able to get out. 

This is not true. 

As long as you keep the secret of the organization, you are safe. 

If you do not keep the secret, you will be punishable by accidental death. 

The higher ground will make the call and most of these people are call the professional. 

Why did I quit? 

I did not quit.

I am just temporary on-hold my post until the time comes. 

I told godfather that I would like to further my studies. 

Godfather gave me a substantial amount of money. I refused to take.

I told him that he had done so much for me and if I can’t pay him in this lifetime, I will re-pay him again in another lifetime.  

Godfather asked me to remember the code of Ormata*.  

These code should no be revealed to outsider. 

When I need help, go to a certain place and asked for a name. 

The person will ask you some certain question which you have to answer preciously. 

If you answer the wrong answer, you will be killed. 

If your answer is right, read out the 10 rules of Ormata*. 

Whenever help you need, your brothers will assist you.

~ Sex, Lies & Videotape ~ 

The culprits who setup Godfather engaging sexual activity in a hotel room have been executed. 

All he wanted to do is to tarnish Godfather’s name & reputation. 

The tape was sent to his office. 

He played the tape in his office room. 

He called Kidd and I up to the room. 

We were shocked to see but Godfather calmly said, “Do I look like a star now?” 

Godfather was a regular at the hotel. 

We went to the hotel security’s room and check all the in and out on that particular’s room. 

We got the man’s face, we ID him and we checked his background. 

We waited for him outside his house in a car.

When he got out from the house, we got out from the car and gives him a taste of the teaser gun. 

When took him to our meat shop, stripped him up, hanged him up on the meat hook. 

We splash him with a bucket of water to wake him up. 

We give him one minute to realize where he was. 

“Who paid you to setup the surveillances camera in Orchard hotel room 6606?”

Kidd asked. We could tell that he was cold and weak. 

“If I tell you please make it a quick death,” he requested. “OK” Kidd answered. 

Yes, he did tell us who did it. 

Kidd took out a gun, attached a silencer on it, points the gun to his and pulled the trigger. 

Later we put the body in the meat cruncher where nobody where his flesh and bones we crushed to tiny pieces.

To give some respect to the body, we gave some silence prayer.  

We threw the parts to the sea. 

May his soul rest in peace.

When I was in Singapore, I always carry a backpack. 

Inside the backpack, there was a shirt, a cap, glasses, sunglasses & a novel. 

If you go out wearing a dark color shirt, make sure you bring along light color shirt. 

The public transport or the MRT is the best getaway.  

Always make sure you have your MRT card on hand (which you top up whenever the credit is finish). 

If you suspected something is not right, get to the nearest MRT station.  

Get into the train and change your clothe immediately; & put on the cap and/or glasses.

Try to stay away from the CCTV

Chapter 12

“Brother that God forgot to give”

He is Godfather’s son. 

He is a brilliant man, graduated from Oxford. Major in Business but he don’t look like a graduate. 

We are about the same age. 

I knew him through Godfather.

He was the one who took me to the doctor after I got slashed by the samurai sword. 

We become instant friends. 

After I was working in Godfather’s office, we even become closer. 

We usually hanged out after work to discotheque & karaoke.

Get to know all types of girls. 

Every morning woke up with different girls on your bed. 

Go to work late. 

The best thing was whenever I go to work late, God father will asked Kidd where did he took me the night before. 

Then we started talking about which girls we took home and Godfather will jokingly asked why we didn’t invite him along. 

Kidd will always answer, “How am I going to explain to mum if she ask me?” 

We laughed.

Chapter 11

Chapter 10 

 ”Identify your brothers like a mother identify her son”

 How to identify the brotherhood? 

No special handshake. 

No special design tattoo. 

No password or code word. 

No kiss on the ring.

Our brotherhood base on royalty. 

First mistake, you are forgiven. 

Second mistake will be your last. 

Yes, we do have the brotherhood book.

We called it the ‘royalty book.

This ‘royalty book’ is kept by in a valve somewhere.

Nobody really knows where it is actually kept. 

I only saw it once when Godfather had the brotherhood meeting held once a year. 

It was taken out because the ‘royalty book’ needs to be transferred into computer database (before computer age). 

The royalty book we kept in metal box. 

Four of the trusted brotherhoods hold the key to open the box. 

After these royalty books were transfer into the computer, the book is destroyed. 

The royalty book contains few hundred years old of our brotherhood history. 

How our organization rises and falls.

And later rises again.

Chapter 9 

“Remember the words of our ancestors as it will bring us to the future”

How big is the organization? 

The more money you have, the bigger your organization will be. 

In Asia, our organization expands to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, and Vietnam & Indonesian. In every country, we have our family.  

For example: In Malaysia in every state we have a family.  

The family runs the business their own ways; as long as the money will be channel to the main company. 

The headquarters is in Singapore and which we controlled the whole organization. 

The organization is so impress that we have foundations to ensure the family have been taken care of. 

The children in the family will be supported by the organization to ensure their future will be taken care of. 

And when these children graduated, they will pay back by donating to the foundations that actually belongs to the organization. 

It is like a big circle. 

Those children who want to join the organization will be given a normal office job.

When they are ready, the truth will be revealed to them. 

For those children who have no interest in education, they are still be taken care but the truth about the organization will only be reveal to them when the time is right.

Chapter 8

“The first kill was hard, the next one is easy..”

Have I killed a man? 

I once used a fork and jabbed it into a man’s neck.

I didn’t mean to kill him.  

He was too stubborn.

We have warned his not to sell any illegal sustain in our area.

He thought he was able to control the area.

He was dead wrong. 

We had a talked in a kopitiam.

His men and my men were there. 

Argument got pretty tense up.

I grabbed something in my hand and jabbed it to his neck. 

Blood was oozing out from his neck.  

The fight started. Kidd took me away from the fight scene.

We escape through the back door.   

The next day, Kidd and I went to his funeral and we saw his wife and two little kids we kneeling down. 

The wife didn’t know it was us who did it. 

I wondered where were his men now? 

I got to find out later that he was only a puppet to somebody; selling drugs on the street.

He lives a fast lane life. 

I felt sorry for him.

I felt sorry for myself.

I have killed a human being. 

I paid my last respect to him. 

Gave some money to the wife and walked out from the funeral parlor with Kid watching my back
