Chapter 65: Doubt Not 1
The meeting hall prepared in the Alliance Leader’s Palace.
It was not until the afternoon that the meeting place was prepared.
A long table where the leaders and key figures of each faction would sit was placed horizontally, with the North Heaven Alliance’s executives seated on its northern side.
South of the table, the martial artists of the Xumen Clan who had arrived the previous night and the Wunsan Sect who had arrived earlier that morning were waiting, divided between the left and right sides.
The seats for the leaders were occupied by a mix of Yunshan Sect’s Sect Master and Elders, Ximen Clan’s Young Master, and the North Heaven Alliance’s top brass.
However, the three seats considered the most honored were empty.
After surveying the gathering, Woo Tae-jeong, the host in charge of hospitality, said something to his subordinates, and only then did two of them slip away somewhere.
Jong Woo-gyeom, the head of the Unsan Sect, spoke to Chief Woo Tae-jeong with an unpleasant expression.
“Wasn’t the meeting supposed to start at the hour of the Rooster, 5 PM? It’s been quite some time now. Where is the Alliance Leader? And what about these empty seats?”
Woo Tae-jeong, the sect leader, looked at Jong Woo-gyeom, the head of the sect, with a cold expression. The Unsan Sect was the closest power to the Bukcheon Alliance and had provided significant assistance to the previous leader. Yet, to appear after such a major battle had ended and start complaining about the time made him want to snort in derision. His words were far from polite.
