Dean felt lucky that he had run into one of the founders of NIRV. Through his research, he had found that there were three individuals who had founded the corporation and brought it to what it was today, and now he was with one of them.
On top of that, out of the three founders, this one in particular was a researcher, the man who was said to have discovered how to create an Altered from beast fossils in the first place.
Dean had great confidence in this man but was wary of such a person who showed next to no fear when around him.
Following him, the two had gotten into an elevator and continued their silence. They reached the 8th floor, which was just under the 9th at the very top. It wasn’t a particularly tall building and far wider in the first place.
What Dean did notice was that a pass was needed to press the buttons on the elevator, so his plan of forcing himself in and trying to figure things out himself would have been quite difficult.
