The Dinner At The Tavern

The ministers were not the only people there as Questo who was now wide awake and hungry for a good meal was there too. The Merchant Guildmaster, Hocoin, was also there and felt that he should not even be here at all. After all, he had to decide where on earth (or ermm... Atopia) the various items should be stored. 

Jin could recognise a few of the faces even though he did not know their names since he had interrogated most of them during the Red Banquet so there was some familiarity to this meeting. Besides, those who had been interrogated were still trembling a little to be sitting at the same table as Jin. 

And to Jin's surprise, there were no lackeys behind them except for those who did not attend the Red Banquet and instead, a bunch of documents laid right beside each minister. Even so, those ministers who did not attend the Red Banquet had heard enough testimonies and only brought their most capable lackey to this meeting.
