News and tea...

Rio and the others came back to the hotel late at night. 

As it was already very late, they decided to submit the report in the morning and thus they went back to the hotel Arya for rest.

Each of them are strong awakener and could have avoided sleep for more than a month easily, but it's always good to have a proper rest after all. This helps relieve stress.

Hotel Arya, Rio's Room, Morning.

As usual, Rio sipped his tea while sitting on the couch and watching the news on the TV.

'The mission has already as good as completed… which means next we will be preparing for that long-awaited meeting of gods…' (Rio)

In Rio's honest opinion, it's not a big deal to go to that 'Meeting'. He basically doesn't care about any other thing besides 'that'.

'The only reason I am going there is because of 'that' chance… I will have another stealing opportunity once I win the tournament…' (Rio)
