"Put the captive in the dark cell" Dragon Fist instructed his men regarding the one-eyed leader of the Dead Owls
"Master, how about we interrogate him to know their movements and plans? Besides, we know nothing of their leader too..." one of the warriors suggested to Dragon Fist
"he looks like he would rather give up his life than talk. We will likely not get anything out of him, so let us not waste precious time on him. Come, let us go in Master Lu..." Dragon Fist finally ushered in Master Lu and his entourage.
***
At the headquarters of the Dead Owls
"fools!!"
Ki Mun, the woman leader of the Dead Owls spat angrily
"Please be calm my Lady..." Yom, her right-hand man tried to pacify her
"the men who came back must pay with their lives... flopping this mission is death, I have told them"
Yom gave her a sideways glance. They surely would flop this mission anyway, so why was the Lady so angry. He had given her a suggestion to ambush Master Lu and his group on their way to the forest while the rest of the men would be at Mt. Chi, attacking Dragon Fist.
She had however dismissed the idea and insisted on allowing Master Lu to arrive at Mt. Chi before launching the attack.
How she thought their warriors would have defeated Master Lu and Dragon Fist together was honestly beyond him.
"we can't keep killing them. We are losing men that way. We have already lost a lot of them. Please rethink this..."
"urrgghhhh" she wiped off everything on the small table in front of her.
"Prepare for another attack. This time, I will be present there myself"
"My Lady, it is best to let sometime pass before we motion another attack..."
"of course. Enough of all these talks that make me upset. Come, calm my nerves" she looks lustfully at Yom who immediately draws near and allows her roam her hands all over his body. She pulls his clothes off and things start to get heaty when a knock on the door jolts them out of their trance.
"damn it..." she cursed angrily.
"Leader, we have urgent report"
"it had better be an important one..."
"there's a message from Mt. Chi. They want you to appear at the suburbs for negotiations at evening tomorrow".
"and if i do not?"
"They have One-Eye, they threaten to kill him if you do not react to this message"
"hahahaha... it is his own foolishness that got him caught. He is not worth negotiating on. I will not honour their message. You can go"
"Yes Leader"
