n“Everyone ready?” Wyntor asked.

nNick, Jenny, and Trevor nodded.

nAfter talking with Nick some more, Wyntor had decided that the others also needed some equipment.

nWhile they didn’t have the money for the really good equipment, Wyntor was willing to give them an advance for their equipment. After all, it was important that his people stayed alive.

nBecause of that, no one was working with the Dreamer.

nRight now, it was eight a.m., which meant it would be Nick’s time to work with the Dreamer.

nFor the next couple of hours, Dark Dream would take a corporate trip to the Extractor market. After that, the normal shifts would start again.

nAt this moment, Wyntor stood in front of his employees, and Nick stood in front of Trevor and Jenny, facing Wyntor.

n“Good! Then, let’s go,” Wyntor said with a friendly smile as he walked towards the exit of the warehouse. 𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝙖.𝓬𝙤𝓶

nThe other three followed him with excited expressions.

nNaturally, all three of them had already gathered quite a bit of wealth, and they were more than willing to buy something useful with that wealth.

nAs the four of them stepped onto the streets, they drew the gazes of all the present people.

nSeeing three Zephyx Extractors walking around with their uniforms was quite eye-catching, but even more noticeable was Wyntor.

nWyntor wore a form-fitting suit with a mixture of grey, red, and dark purple colors.

nNot everyone knew what this suit signified, but the few that did were shocked and surprised.

nNaturally, as the CEO in a public place, Wyntor had to look the part, which was why he had put on his official suit for negotiations between companies.

nThe very few people who knew what this suit meant felt themselves lucky to see Wyntor.

nUsually, people of the Outer City didn’t have the luck to see one of the Melfion family’s progeny.

nThe suit Wyntor was wearing showed everyone that he was part of the Melfion family, and the color scheme indicated his status.

nThe grey color of the suit represented the Melfion family personally.

nThe red color represented Kugelblitz, the biggest Zephyx Manufacturer of Crimson Fungus City.

nAnd the darker purple represented Dark Dream.

nThis suit showed everyone that Wyntor was a possible heir to the Melfion family and that he had already made his own business.

nCompared to Wyntor, the three Zephyx Extractors walking behind him only seemed like his bodyguards or servants.

nJenny and Trevor knew that Wyntor was part of the Melfion family, and right now, they felt a bit proud that they were one of the few people working for someone with such a high status.

nNick didn’t pay a lot of attention to the people looking at them. His mind was fully occupied with thinking about all the things he would soon buy!

nAfter a couple of minutes of walking, the group arrived in front of a big warehouse, even bigger than the one Dark Dream owned.

nThis warehouse was probably over a hundred meters long and nearly as wide.

nIn front of the warehouse stood a group of guards who inspected everyone who passed by them.

n“This is the place,” Wyntor said to his employees.

nThe three people looked at the warehouse with interest.

nIt seemed quite big but unassuming.

nWyntor walked forward, and his three employees followed him.

nWhen the guards saw Wyntor’s suit, they performed a short but respectful bow.

nWyntor answered with a nod.

nOne of them opened a small sliding door and gestured for the group to enter.

nThe other three gave a short “hi” before they also entered the warehouse.

nThe door closed behind them, and the group could finally see what the marketplace for Zephyx Extractors looked like.

nIt was busy!

n“Wow,” Nick uttered in surprise, “there are probably nearly a hundred people in here!”

n“Yep,” Wyntor said with a smile as he looked at the group. “Since Newbies are not allowed in the Inner City without explicit permission, they all have to buy their things here.”

n“But Wyntor, there are still so many people here,” Nick said. “This is just one of the marketplaces, right? If there are already so many Extractors here, how many are there in the entire Outer City?”

nWyntor smirked. “In truth, this is the only marketplace for Extractors outside the Inner City.”

nThe three looked with surprise at Wyntor.

nThe only one?

nThey had assumed that it was only one of several marketplaces since they hadn’t even walked for two kilometers to get there.

nWyntor chuckled a bit. “It just so happens that the marketplace is very close to Dark Dream. It’s just a coincidence.”

n“So, this is everyone?” Jenny asked from behind Nick.

nJenny and Trevor were not very comfortable in Wyntor’s presence.

nThe first time they had met Wyntor, he had taught them about Dark Dream and gave them orders, and that single meeting already represented the majority of their time spent talking to Wyntor.

nAs the CEO, Wyntor had no official direct line of communication with the Zephyx Extractors.

nHe only talked to them as an HR representative, but even that way of communicating with them would vanish when they got an actual HR person.

nIf the two of them needed something from the company, they just had to talk to Nick, and Nick would talk to Wyntor if necessary.

n“It’s not everyone,” Wyntor said. “It’s about a third of all Newbies. Not all of the Newbies come here every week. Even more, Kugelblitz and Anatomy have permission to house their Newbies in the Inner City, and there are much better marketplaces there.”

nNaturally, all three of the Extractors knew Kugelblitz and Anatomy.

nKugelblitz was the biggest Zephyx Manufacturer of Crimson Fungus City, and their most famous Specter was the Crimson Fungus, which the city was named after.

nThe Crimson Fungus was the only level six Specter that had been captured and contained in Crimson Fungus City.

nAs the only Zephyx Manufacturer with a level six Specter, Kugelblitz naturally was the de-facto leader of Crimson Fungus City.

nHowever, there was also another very powerful and big Zephyx Manufacturer.

nAnatomy.
