The sixteen individuals approached the conference table without much fanfare.
Since Toz had started walking across the bridge first, he was also the first to arrive, despite the young woman from the Obsidian Inheritance Kingdom subtly increasing her speed.
Toz didn't wait for anyone and sat down, much to the displeasure of the delegates from the kingdoms. The Obsidian Inheritance delegate's eyebrow twitched, and she huffed as she sat down opposite Toz.
The other participants of the peace talks also sat down.
No one said anything, and the pirates and delegates just sat in silence, watching each other, though most of the delegates' attention was focused on Toz, thanks to his attitude and actions.
Toz stared at each of them in turn before looking mostly at the duo from the Firebelt Kingdom. The tall, short-haired, and burly man stood behind the well-trained but rather slim woman with hair like fire.
