Chapter 17: The Chief's Table
The great hall of the Iron Crane Sect held six hundred people, and every one of them was eating.
Long tables ran the length of the floor under teal and white lanterns.
At the head, on a dais, sat the Alliance Chief, a heavy old man with a white beard.
On his right sat Ok Hwa-rim in pale grey, pouring tea.
She looked up as Woo-jin and Mu-yeol came in.
Her whole face lit.
"There they are," she said, rising. "My brave boys. Come, sit, the soup is hot."
Woo-jin did not sit.
Mu-yeol walked up the center aisle beside him with Dull Bell on his back, and six hundred cups stopped halfway to six hundred mouths.
Mu-yeol had left Yoo-chan and the Hall's people at the gate, where the captain had kindly kept them waiting.
He had left the cart there too, with the bandages and the bound Sparrow in it.
Woo-jin stopped at the foot of the dais.
He had a cloth bundle under his arm.
"Chief," he said, and bowed. "Deputy Chief. I ask leave to speak to the Alliance."
"Woo-jin," the Chief said, with a frown. "It is a feast."
"It is about the feast's other guests, sir. The twenty men who rode out with the Hall's party under the Deputy Chief's banner."
A murmur ran down the tables.
Woo-jin untied the bundle and tipped it onto the cloth in front of the Chief.
