Julian was known by the CEO and CZE of Ghosty's Lab, but they hadn't met him yet.
Julian had made it a point to never come into contact with Ghosty himself.
Ghosty was an extremely old genius.
Ghosty alone had revolutionized the way Manufacturers worked and contained Specters.
Someone like that was bound to be unfathomably intelligent.
As long as Julian couldn't guarantee winning a mental battle against Ghosty, meeting him would be a horrible idea.
While the CEO of Ghosty's Lab was only an Expert, Julian also avoided meeting him.
The CEO was close to Ghosty, and if Ghosty suddenly noticed a change in his friend, he might grow suspicious.
A normal person might not grow suspicious when a previously closed door had opened without their notice, but a genius would definitely notice. The genius might even notice the door handle being in a different position than normal.
