Over the next couple of minutes, Mundus and Zarren from Anatomy arrived.
They just threw a glance at Nick before sitting down at their position.
A minute later, Aria Light and Vernon Melfion entered.
Aria greeted everyone with a friendly voice, while Vernon just greeted a couple of people with some casual words.
"Oh, Julian isn't here? What a shame," Vernon said, looking at the empty seat beside Nick.
Then, he just turned to his own seat and sat down.
He hadn't looked at Nick even once.
However, Nick had expected as much.
The incident after Wyntor's death had completely ruined his relationship with the Melfions and had soured Dark Dream's relationship with Kugelblitz.
While Kugelblitz wasn't actively going against Dark Dream due to Julian "being friends" with several of their shareholders and Vernon, they also didn't show much politeness to them.
