Confounding Variable
Familia Hotel.
Roughly half an hour had passed since Darius and his team had arrived at the hotel. They were currently in the banquet hall, waiting for the others to arrive there.
Out of the four teams, only three teams managed to survive, and out of the three teams, only two teams had already gathered in the hall. Iliana's team was still in the way as they also brought civilians with them.
Darius looked around the hall, the people inside it, and the staffs preparing for the food. The room was eerily quiet despite the activity, amplifying the solemnity of the already solemn mood.
While the staffs didn't look like they understood what was happening, they could deduce something bad must have happened. On the other hand, the students wore a stiff expression on their face.
