Chapter 212 Chapter 212 – Last Person
Two men entered the room.
One of them looked quite old and had white hair.
The other one looked middle-aged and had black hair that seemed to turn grey at different spots.
Nick was a bit surprised since those two looked to be the oldest people who walked into the room, but at least one of them had to be a Specialist.
This meant that at least one of them could live for well over a hundred years without visibly aging.
So, was one of them just very old?
Chances were that they were even older than Vernon.
At that point, Nick remembered Wyntor telling him that Ghosty's Lab was the oldest Zephyx Manufacturer that was still in business. nOve(lb.1n
Apparently, it had been in business even before Kugelblitz had been founded.
Every other Manufacturer had vanished.
They had either been absorbed by one of the others or had been sold and rebranded.
Two of them even got destroyed by their own Specters breaking out and wreaking havoc.
The two people greeted everyone in the room, and they even talked quite a bit with Vernon and Aria.
As the city's third most powerful Zephyx Manufacturer and the numerically biggest, Ghosty's Lab definitely had the status to casually talk to Kugelblitz.
After greeting all the other Extractors, the two of them turned to Wyntor and Nick.
Surprisingly, the two of them walked around the table to offer a handshake.
Wyntor respectfully accepted the handshake.
"Herman Reichert, CEO of Ghosty's Lab," the older man said.
"George Meander, CZE of Ghosty's Lab. People generally refer to me as Ghosty," the other man said.
"Wyntor Melfion, CEO of Dark Dream," Wyntor said with a polite smile.
"And you're Nick, right?" Ghosty asked with a smirk as he looked at Nick.
Nick blinked a couple of times in surprise.
"You know me?" he asked.
Ghosty chuckled slightly. "I remember your file. I was the one who told Albert about you."
Nick's eyes widened!
It was him!
He was the reason how Nick managed to become a Zephyx Extractor in the first place!
If Ghosty hadn't sent Albert to Nick, Nick would have never understood his ability, and he would have never found Wyntor.
He would have stayed in the Dregs for the remainder of his life.
"You know Albert?" Nick asked.
Ghosty nodded. "He used to work for us before he left to work for the city. He was one of the best Extractors I've ever had the pleasure to work with."
"How is Albert doing?" Nick asked.
Nick hadn't seen Albert in almost two years.
"He's busy with some confidential things. Not even I know exactly what project he's involved in. I only know that the city views it as very important," Ghosty said.
"We can talk some other time," Ghosty said after seeing Herman motioning him to leave. "It's a bit awkward to talk in such a crowded room."
"Of course!" Nick said politely.
Nick watched Ghosty with wonder.
Obviously, Ghosty's Lab was named after him, which meant that he was probably quite capable and famous.
"He's the second oldest person in the city," Wyntor whispered to Nick. "Many breakthroughs in how we deal with Specters exist only because of him. He also had a major hand in the creation of the modern Containment Units."
"As far as we know, he's the first person ever that managed to capture a Force Specter."
Nick took a deep breath.
This meant that he was essentially sitting at the same table as a living legend.
However, Nick couldn't think about these things for long since the doors opened again rather quickly.
This time, two people with green uniforms and the emblem of a puppet walked into the room.
The two of them were men with black hair that looked to be in their thirties.
As soon as Nick saw them, he felt nervous.
