Ryo and the others arrived at the Center some minutes later. They entered the meeting room to see a group of people of all ages sitting on a large oblong table.
There were various boards parallel to the walls. They seemed to be the Xeno version of whiteboard discussions. They also had writings on them, though some were covered by curtains.
It felt…new, to say the least.
Anyway, the Lords and their cronies entered with a tense atmosphere around them.
They couldn't help but give Ryo and the others a look. Would they report on their arrogance?
