The list of over one hundred people rendered the owners of various enterprises speechless.
Many couldn't fathom what those people did to be blacklisted by Freya Group.
However, they knew they should not think too deeply about it and should instead obey the instructions.
The following day, Steven and his companions set out to look for jobs. They were dismayed to find out that each and every business in Dellmoor had blacklisted them.
Two days later, everyone who left with Eren, Steven included, had been unsuccessful in their endeavor to find a job despite trying their luck at various businesses throughout Dellmoor.
Even if they were to offer their services for free, no one wanted to hire them. This was because the companies were afraid of incurring the wrath of Freya Group, and thus, none of them wanted to risk their own demise.
It was obvious to Steven and the rest then that they had been blacklisted by Freya Group in Dellmoor!
Upon realizing the gravity of the situation, Steven, Yelena, and the others were overwhelmed with shock. Their faces became ashen.
The most shocking revelation came from Galaxy Media itself.
Galaxy Media wasn't that renowned a company in Dellmoor, but Freya Group let them off the hook. In fact, it seemed as though Freya Group went as far as to blacklist Steven and the rest in an effort to make amends with Galaxy Media and gain their favor.
They couldn't believe that their previous company, Galaxy Media, was the most powerful company in Dellmoor.
After all, even Freya Group had to show respect to them.
Steven and the like promptly regretted leaving Galaxy Media.
Those who were not from Dellmoor were forced to depart from the city and seek employment in another area.
The rest were local residents who had families here. Hence, they convened in the park to discuss their plans for the future.
“Mr. Quinn, you're resourceful and well-connected, so please help us out! Without those two months' salaries, how am I supposed to pay my mortgage and car loan? If I am unable to secure a job soon, I will be in danger of defaulting on my loans.”
“Yeah, Mr. Quinn. Think of something to help us out!”
More than a dozen people who lived in Dellmoor gathered and expressed their grievances to Steven.
They were visibly anxious.
However, Yelena said naught a word.
“The connections I had in the past were nothing compared to the influence of Freya Group. I've been struggling to find a job, too. However, I noticed that Wrenna and the others were hiring at Galaxy Media yesterday. Should we return and inquire if they have any openings for us?” Steven suggested helplessly.
He was his family's primary breadwinner, so he was actually the most anxious among them.
Hearing that, the rest fell silent.
Although it was difficult for them to face, they eventually had to come to terms with the fact that they had no choice but to try getting a job back at Galaxy Media.
Adulting was hard as they had to juggle the pressure of paying for their mortgage and car loan.
“Mr. Quinn, how could you say that? Do you think Galaxy Media will hire us?” Yelena snapped when she realized no one was going to answer Steven.
“Shut up! If you had not taken the lead, we would not have made such a rash and ill-advised decision to depart from Galaxy Media!”
Anger crossed everyone's faces when they heard her words. After all, if it hadn't been for her, they wouldn't have betrayed Galaxy Media and ended up in this unfortunate predicament.
Now, not only had they failed to get a high-salaried job, but they had also been added to a blacklist circulated among all of the companies in Dellmoor, making it impossible for them to find employment in the area.
They could barely survive and had also dragged their families into their mess.
“Stop bickering. Since Galaxy Media is able to appease Freya, that means Mr. White has backing from someone of importance. If you want your jobs back, follow me back to the company. I have two tickets to the sold-out God of War event that will be taking place in Dellmoor next month. It's incredibly hard to get ahold of any tickets, so I'm going to try to get a job with these two tickets.”
