Kill the Sun - Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Chapter 326 – The Situation

?Nick walked back into Dark Dream.

He didn't seem different from usual at first glance, but if one looked a bit closer, one might notice a slight difference.

Nick was still friendly, but there was a certain coldness to his gaze now.

However, no one took notice of that difference.

As soon as he returned, he went back to work.

He was hiring new people, evaluating Specters, collecting Zephyx, and so on.

It was almost like nothing strange had happened today.

Everything had returned to normal.

For the next couple of days, Nick avoided Wyntor.

Whenever they accidentally saw each other, Nick looked and walked away.

Wyntor could only sigh.

If he had known that Nick would have been so hung up about Horua, he wouldn't have asked the Dreamer to kill him.

At the same time, Wyntor also regretted telling Nick.

'Did I do the right thing?' Wyntor asked himself.

'Should I have told him?'

'In due time, he might have recovered.'

'But he also deserves to know the truth.'

At this moment, several different facets of Wyntor's personality clashed.

Wyntor had been taught to put profits and power first, and he had always acted according to these principles.

But when he had seen how much Nick had suffered from everything, he just felt guilty.

Nick was his first real friend, and Wyntor felt horrible about putting him through so much pain.

Wyntor felt like telling him was the right thing to do, but that might have also compromised his profits.

'I just didn't expect that he would be so hung up about this. I thought he would have gotten over it already,' Wyntor thought.

Wyntor remembered when Nick had choked him until he was unconscious a couple of days ago.

At that moment, Wyntor had believed that he would die.

That had probably been the most terrifying moment of his life.

Of course, facing the Blinding Light when he was a child was also terrifying, but he knew that he wouldn't die from that.

Yes, jumping into the sewers and fighting the Dreamer was also scary, but Wyntor knew that he could get away thanks to his ability.

But when Nick squeezed Wyntor's neck, he felt like there was nothing he could do.

"And why are you telling me this?" Vernon asked.

Nick looked to the side and sighed.

"I can't work with Wyntor anymore," Nick said.

"I realize that, when all of this happened, Wyntor was only 17 years old. While I probably won't be able to forgive him, I can't ignore the fact that he was just a kid who made a mistake."

"For a month, I tried to get over this fact."

"But whenever I see him, this unending rage comes out, and the only thing I can do is to walk away."

"Otherwise, I might do something I will regret."

Vernon nodded as he kept listening.

"And after thinking about all of this for a long time, I've come to a decision," Nick said.

"Wyntor owns 70% of Dark Dream, which means that he might as well own all of it."

"Additionally, Dark Dream will eventually be sold to Kugelblitz."

Nick took a deep breath.

"I've decided to quit Dark Dream."

Vernon had already expected something like this.

"What are you planning to do?" he asked.

Of course, Vernon already had an inkling.

"I'm selling my 30% of Dark Dream to Wyntor," Nick said.

Vernon's eyes shone.

"And at the same time, I am applying for a job at Kugelblitz as Zephyx Extractor."

Vernon looked at Nick with an interested expression.

That was an interesting proposition.

BANG!

Suddenly, the door shot open, and Vernon immediately frowned.

People were supposed to knock before coming in!

Vernon looked over and saw one of their receptionists.

He wanted to admonish her, but her face was white, and she seemed like she had something urgent to say.

"Yes?" Vernon asked, keeping his annoyance at her intrusion secret.

"Sir!" the receptionist said urgently.

Vernon looked at her as he started to get worried.

Nick just looked forward.

His eyes were cold.
