Kill the Sun - Chapter 459

Chapter 459 - 459 – Voted Suicide

On the last day, Kugelblitz accepted the offer, and several Specters were moved from Anatomy to them.

Naturally, the Extractors had already been handed over to Anatomy beforehand.

No one knew which Specters were purchased, but Julian told him that five Specter Cages were moved from Anatomy to Kugelblitz.

Most likely, none of these Specters were Hatchlings or Adolescents.

This meant that Kugelblitz must have forked over at least 15 Veterans.

Nick was not surprised in the least.

He had expected this to happen.

'If you don't cut a veggie cube into bite-sized chunks, they will choke on their own greed,' he thought.

However, as long as things didn't get any worse, Kugelblitz still had a chance at winning.

Julian kept laughing from beside Nick.

Nick just looked upwards with an apathetic gaze.

Meanwhile...

"Why are you that dead set on committing suicide?!" an angry shout reverberated throughout the room.

"I worked here for over a century! I gave my life for this!"

"And now, you want to destroy it for just a couple of Specters?!"

The other eight people in the meeting room looked at the furious woman.

The one who had just shouted was Aria Light.

Naturally, she had voted against accepting the offer.

This was the first time Aria Light had raised her voice in a meeting in several decades.

Her conduct had always been perfect.

But today, that streak of perfection ended, and she lost control of her anger for the first time in a long while.

And to be fair, how couldn't she?

Kugelblitz had just voted to accept the offer of all five Elders from Anatomy for ten Experts.

That was madness!

How could these people vote for this?!

"I know you don't like it," a sickly-looking man with a weak smile said softly from the head of the table, "but the board of directors has already come to a decision. Please, keep in mind that we all own part of Kugelblitz."

Aria glared at Wilfred Langley, the CEO of Kugelblitz.

Meanwhile, Vernon sat beside the furious Aria, and he looked at the table with a devastated expression.

Wilfred just drank some coffee.

Aria gritted her teeth, but instead of raising her voice again, she stormed out of the room.

Silence.

"I didn't know Miss Light had such a temper," one of the directors said.

Vernon looked up from the table and glared at the director.

The director just coughed awkwardly and looked away.

Some seconds later, Vernon stood up.

"I have to deal with some things," he said before leaving the meeting room as well.

Meanwhile, about 250 meters below this meeting room, some other people were also meeting.

"Kugelblitz has accepted the offer," Ghosty said to Herman Reichert.

Herman sighed. "Just as expected, their greed knows no bounds."

Silence.

"Will we join them?"

Silence.

Ghosty just looked out of the window.

A couple hundred meters away...

"Kugelblitz has accepted. What should we do, Mindy?" Cindy Wunder, the Chief Zephyx Extractor of Gemini, asked.

"Why are you even asking me, Cindy?" Mindy Wunder asked back. "We're always of the same opinion."

Cindy looked at Mindy for a bit.

Then, she looked at the table before a grin appeared on her face.

Finally, she looked at Mindy again.

"You know how spiteful I can be," she said.

Mindy looked back, and her grin mirrored Cindy's.

"Aren't we both?"

Down below...

"Hahahahaha," Julian kept laughing.

Nick just looked up with disappointed disgust.

Maybe he actually still had some hope hidden deep in his heart.

Sadly, even if that were true, it would have been extinguished as soon as he saw another five Specter Cages leaving Anatomy and going towards Gemini.
