76. Doyle had amazingly blitzed across America, confronting numbers of opponents simultaneously and catching all off guard. The largest chocolate conglomerates Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland fell surpisingly quick along with most of their subsidiaries. The American center was now securely under Doyles powerful control. Resistance was minor due to Doyles brilliant takeover strategies involving a combination of deftly executed financial instruments, and implied or actual violence. Contrary to Fritz's reports however some of the American East Coast Chocolatiers were attempting resistance and forming alliances to protect their Family interests like their European cousins.
77. In America, The Virginia-based Mars Family was on the phone with the Hershey's. They were reasoning that an attack on the center could be countered by an attack on the flanks. In England, John Cadbury was in council with his operations officers. In Zurich, Baron Callebaut was conferencing with all of Bavaria. In France, Cacao Barry flew directly to Brazil to influence their Ministers, and secretly, nearly a Million Brazilian Pawns.
Thats a lot of workers.
79. Like a striking diamondback rattlesnake, Doyle ordered a full strike at the Bavarian Dark Chocolate Cartel, supported by the Sicilian Commission, and His Holy See, himself! The attack was on with the deadliest of forces, the White Chocolate Knight and Bishop, supported by the very powerful Hershey and Mars Towers of Chocolates. Doyle could feel victory in his very grasp.
80. Anticipating the frontal assault, the Holy See ended his visit to his faithful followers in the US, flying back to the safety of the Vatican.
"COWARDS!" screamed Doyle to himself as he saw the enemy monarch flee to distant safety. Alas, in this royal game for power and control, and Chocolate! there is no safety anywhwere on the Board of Directors. He would simply make his next move, after consulting Fritz!
82. The communications was continuing around the world. As Don Donaldo had feared, Doyle may have bitten off more chocolate then he could consume. A coalition of large and small independents were forming against him. The various chocolate families and clans, light and dark, knew that Doyle must be using illegal methods to consolidate his position and dominate the global chocolate industry. No one could otherwise strike so boldly or quickly. Doyle and his like did not follow the square paths of either the dark or the light. He and his ilk were truely misguided, intending to monopolize, to conceal Truth, and to cheat the pawns and people of the Greater RHP Kingdom of small victories and the simple joys and pleasures in their lives ...and the means to possibly, with a bit of luck, find someone decent to share a bite of chocolate.
The RHP Kingdom is the teaming masses of pawns trying to improve their lot. The Coalition will, in time, illuminate Doyle's methods for all to see. This was their best tactic to win against the machine that Doyle had unleashed. Once the masses could see... a feedback scream would rise up from every tower and square in the Kingdom, "DEATH BY CHOCOLATE"
83. In the dark, dank dungeon of nicosia, la bella donna had been held captive for 18 hours. Her captives were cruel and demanding, denying her chocolate favors while insisting on her favors. She seethed with contempt as she smelled chocolates on their breaths, all the while taunting her with their demands. Alas, her revenge would come quickly when an RPG blasted the huge barricaded door of the compound and the armed militia stormed in, led by no other than Benito Roethilsbergio, from the American Special Forces Unit. SHE WOULD BE SAVED!

Sorry your Germaness what was it you wanted?"

84. Ben set the tortured captives free and immediately saw to their desperate needs. he gave each one several squares of 88% dark chocolate, and personally saw to the needs of the lovely and appreciative bella donna, who was in the lowest chamber, chained to the torture table, aching all over. he noticed the tear in her eye and trembling chin as he gently placed the square of chocolate on her lips, their eyes locked in a gaze of desire. he tasted a square with her, that they might enjoy the moment as one, remembering the times that they shared in Paris, and NYC, and London, and Moscow, and Berlin, and Sao Paolo.

She gasped. " I got a phone call this morning from my GP, Dr. Whatsinitforme, telling me that I have to loose 50 lbs or my heart will explode (and not from my love for you) so no more of this 88% dark chocolate for me, Now he didn't say, in words, that I couldn't have milk chocolate" She looked into his eyes and he knew what was coming. "How can I continue with these liasons with you if you can't partake of the food of love?" She turned away as he attempted to respond. It was over and as such he now had to decide if he must do the unthinkable and .......he couldn't say it, even to himself. He took the garrote from his back pocket and placed it arounfd her neck...it would be over in a moment.

86. These little sweet games that they played were such fun! The asphyxiating choking game was one of her favorites. La Bella Donna absolutely went wild with passion when she was being choked almost to unconsciouness. Her face blue and swelling, dropping away, near death, and then the release. It was almost as intense as the square of the 88% dark chocolate. Alas, they needed to flee, for the loyal Swiss Guard would soon be descending on the ancient castle. The entire chocolate empire was at stake on their next move.
87. "I see I got here just in time." Don Donaldo annouced from the dungeon doorway... but then his tone sweetened and he smiled knowingly at the woman he knew so well, "Oh but I waited just a bit so that you could have your "fun" Darling." The special forces medics had revived Don sometime ago and a few moments after Benito he too had found his way to the lower chamber, but he was a bit of a voyeur and his queen was nolonger in any immediate real danger... and he did know her so well. "Thank you for the rescue commander", Donaldo continued, "I trust you were well rewarded for your efforts."
Don brushed past the camoflauged commando and reached out to his wife. Instructively... as he passed the soldier on the chocolate free diet, he whispered... "Tooo impersonal, a garrote is no way to choke a Lover... bare hands, intimate bare hands, forceful, hard, and always in synchronus movement with the passion of the most intense dark chocolate."
He smiled and extended an outstretched arm with a knowing hand ready to receive her own.
89. Back in America, the White chocolate producers were delivering their full frontal attack. Facilities, territories, and agents were being purchased, or compromised, or, when necessary, eliminated, violently, if necessary, and to the death, in certain instances, all for the simple puropose of gaining world dominance of chocolate production. Victory was at hand. The Sicilian Commission was defenseless! Doyle could taste the bittersweet joy of conquest. He was about to ask for the hand of one lovely Bella Donna on her return.
