Chapter 246 Chapter 246 – Office Problems
With the Blood Hawk and the Blood Horse, Dark Dream now officially had ten Specters.
Within three years, Dark Dream had grown from one Specter to ten!
Even more, they also had 21 Zephyx Extractors, which was nothing to scoff at.
Back then, Cycle had seemed dangerous with their six Newbies and two Johns.
But now, Dark Dream had eight Johns and 13 Newbies.
Funnily enough, Dark Dream had even more Newbies than Kugelblitz.
Nick's workload had also changed.
Back then, he had been working with all of their Specters, and he hadn't needed to talk to his employees a lot since there hadn't been many.
But now, Nick was having a meeting with his team leaders daily about the teams and the issues.
Naturally, the bigger the company became, the more interpersonal issues cropped up.
One Extractor didn't like how another Extractor talked to them.
An Extractor came a bit late, which made the other Extractor mad.
An Extractor complained about another Extractor constantly criticizing them and telling them what to do even though they were not their superior.
On top of that, the issue of equipment and money also appeared more often.
Yes, the Extractors were earning insanely well in Dark Dream compared to other Manufacturers, but the fact that they had to buy their equipment completely on their own still left a bad taste in their mouths.
Some of the Extractors also complained about the Specters they were assigned to.
Of course, these complaints mostly came from the weaker Extractors.
There were three Late Newbies that Trevor had assigned to work with the Blood Horse, and these three were not happy in the slightest.
They had to fight for their lives every single day!
One mistake, and they could die!
Yes, there was always a stronger Extractor watching them from outside the Containment Unit, but they could still die!
These three all came from Ghosty's Lab, and they believed that they were being treated unfairly.
Naturally, they also started talking to other Extractors, and they found some like-minded individuals.
The three Early Newbies from Gemini, who were dealing with the Blood Hawk, felt the same way. This content originates from n0v3lbin•
They knew that being an Extractor was dangerous, but they were not supposed to risk their lives every single day!
The complaints were piling up, and it was even possible that Dark Dream would get their first protest.
In the end, Nick decided to give them what they wanted.
Ever since the incident with Horua, nothing bad had happened.
However, before he let them work with the Dreamer, Nick wanted them to sign new contracts.
In these contracts, they agreed to work with the Dreamer, even though Dark Dream did not think that it was a good idea to work with it.
Of course, before signing, they asked why they weren't getting the Puppy. According to what they had heard, working with the Puppy was the easiest.
Nick told them that they would be working with the Puppy anyway as soon as they became Peak Newbies and that everyone wanted to work with the Puppy.
He had to be fair in this regard.
In the end, they signed.
When Nick saw their signatures, he released a sigh.
He really didn't like doing this.
When Nick had talked with Wyntor, Wyntor had said that he had expected something like this to happen.
They were treating their employees too well, which spoiled them.
Because of that, Wyntor decided on the quickest way to solve the issue.
Yes, the Dreamer hadn't made issues in three years.
However, Dark Dream also hadn't sent anyone weaker than it to work with it in three years.
Until now.
The most vocal of the three Extractors was sent to work with the Dreamer first.
Everything seemed to work normally.
And then he started to have a seizure.
Naturally, Trevor had been keeping an eye on them, and he immediately ran in and brought the guy to a hospital.
As Trevor rushed the guy out, the Dreamer only looked after him with expressionless eyes.
Some hours later, the news came in.
He was dead.
His mind had shut down.
The two other Extractors felt a cold shiver run down their backs, and they refused to work with the Dreamer.
Naturally, lots of complaints followed, which prompted an appearance from Wyntor.
Wyntor only waved the contract they had signed.
And then, he told them to work with the Blood Horse or leave.
Surprisingly, the two of them still kept complaining, which was not what Wyntor had expected.
He had expected that they would falter and work with the Blood Horse.
Wyntor did not like that one bit!
