"Because the chief of the Hausa is to be protected."
"Who says? Why?" Remo demanded.
Chiun was silent.
"Two-faced sonuvabitch. I'm going to get Smith to get the Washington pollsters to take the soap operas off again."
Chiun considered this for a moment. "There is no need for you to punish an old man."
"Then talk. Why was Obode to be protected?"
"Because when my ancestor many years ago left the Loni and they were overthrown…" Chiun paused.
"Get on with it."
"He left to go work for the Hausa," Chiun said. "For more money," he explained brightly.
"Well, I'll be. Talk about double-dealers," Remo said. "Has any Master ever played anything straight?"
"You know not the meaning of such words," Chiun answered.
"Yeah? Well, try this. Nina-upenda," he said, repeating the Lord word that Saffah had spoken to him.
"Thank you," Chiun said and Remo had to find out later from one of their guards that the word meant "I love you."
It made him feel good all over.
