LADY ESSEX AND HER ASSOCIATES PREPARE TO ATTACK A RESTAURANT IN TOKYO by Hamlet MISTRESS KIAANA MADAME TACHIBANA Lady Essex sat at her desk at the Justice League Headquarters in Tokyo once more feeling so pleased with herself and the success of her Mission so far. Her ultimate Mission was to eradicate crime from the face of the earth altogether and to establish the Norselandic Divine Matriarchal Empire of Righteousness across the world with the Queen Goddess Anna-Christiana as the Supreme Ruler and Empress. The leader of the criminal organization she was determined to destroy Yakuza in Japan was Kenichi Hinoda the sixth and current Kulichi (Supreme Godfather) of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Japan's largest Yakuza organization. The next battle to be won by her was to persuade every person and business in Shinjuku area of Tokyo to open an Account and Mortgage with the Justice Leaugue Bank . This was going to be the hardest battle of all as there were just so many businesses and residents in the Shinjuku area. It was quite an affluent area and more businesses and people were moving into the area every day. She decided to start by making an example of one business that refused to open an Account or Mortgage.She would force the business to open an Account and this would be an example to every other business in the area. She decided to start with a restaurant called Rokkasen .This was a very posh and expensive chain of restaurants owned by Emi Yazuko .He was known to write books on Japanese cookery and appear on TV .He would be earning at least Y12013000 a year.What's more his restaurants attracted rich company directors who lived in the area.and contributed extensively to the Yakuza. The restaurant in Shinjuku alone had a turnover of over Y7510700 a week.The JLB was desperate to get their hands on his money! Lady Essex decided to use the usual carrot and stick approach that always worked.First of all She would write to Yazuko giving him details of all the benefits of opening an Account with the JLB.The letter would finish by stating that if he was not willing to open an Account she was then prepared to take a more physical approach.If he was still not willing then she was prepared to go to the restaurant with her Crimefighters Kiaana and Tachibana and to 'persuade' him to open an Account.If that still did not work she was prepared to use extreme physical violence that could involve him and his friends being beaten and if necessary killed and the restaurant smashed up.Whatever happened the Lady League would get the money! She began by writing a letter that she would send and also e mail to him.

YOURS IN ANTICIPATION LADY ANASTASIA ESSEX THE MANAGER WARNING YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY ARE SERIOUSLY AT RISK IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT A GENEROUS OFFER MADE BY THE JLB. While she was awaiting a reply Lady Essex decided to do some research on Yazuko himself. She was particularly interested in all this undisclosed income. From her expert financial knowledge and accountancy training she knew how to read a Bank Account and work out what exactly was a person's real income. She knew most of Yazuko's 's income came from illicit and criminal activities. She then accessed the Police database to see if Yazuko or any of his brothers had criminal records. She was right as usual! She looked at the Database and found out that Yakubov and his 2 brothers Akihito and Hideki were heavily involved in Yakuza and criminal activities in particular drug running and money laundering and child prostitution. So, some of this money from the restaurant was being used to finance crime! Lady Essex was determined to deal with this bastard!This war on the Yazuko's would combine Operation Open an Account and Operation Kill All Criminals all in one What an excellent result for her! Just then the phone rang. it was none other than Shojiro Yazuko the famous chef and restaurant owner himself! 'Is that Jostiff Essek ?'he said in what appeared to be a broad Japanese accent. 'Oh Yazuko how good to hear from you at last! Have you decided to open an Account?' 'I no wann open Account with your bank! You canna threaten me!' 'Oh yes I can Yazukoi! You're going to hand over your money to the Bank.In fact because of your criminal activities I have decided to take over your restaurants and sell them all you bastard!' 'If you come to my restaurant I bring all my friends they break your legs!' he shouted. 'I'm sorry Yazuko it's the other way around. I'm coming around to your restaurant with my two Crimefighters and by the end of today you will all be cripples and you will probably be dead!' 'You canna do this!' he shouted though Lady Essex could hear the fear in his voice as he knew she meant what she said. Lady Essex then summoned the two crimefighters Kiaana and Tachibana into Her office. They all looked stunning as usual dressed totally in their black leather outfits. 'Right Ladies' said Lady Essex 'We have a dangerous Mission ahead We're going to fight the Yakuza and take over a restaurant. It will be a fight to the death that will end up with us taking the restaurant over. The bastard of an owner has openly refused to open an Account as I told him to and what is more is a criminal. Death is the only answer. I want you all to change into your fighting outfits, equip yourselves with cats, knives and knuckledusters. This fight will be even more violent than you have ever experienced! . I want you all back here in 10 minutes.' 'Yes, Lady Essex!' they all shouted out eager to obey their wonderful Boss. They were back in less than 10 minutes dressed from head to toe in shiny black leather their leather masks making them look even more terrifying. They all went out into Lady Essex's car. The restaurant was situated quite near to the JLHQ. It was a large plush restaurant that charged extortionate prices to its wealthy customers. Lady Essex saw there were many cars parked in the road. It was clear that the whole Shinjuku Yakuza had turned up. The Thrre Women stood outside the restaurant hitting their crops by the sides of their boots. Lady Essex was itching for a fight as she turned to the two crimefighters. 'Come on Ladies! LET'S BEAT THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF THESE BASTARDS!'
