STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 631: Gym Street

5th Zone, City-A

The following day,

The organisation was busy. The members were eager to take their missions. Those who had completed their missions were ready to submit their reports.

So, the number of people was high. Among them, there were members who were discussing gossip.

The news of the young recruit was a trending topic these days. Everyone was hoping that someone would complain about it.

But so far, no one did. Even the Elders were silent about it. They didn’t know which team the young man was assigned to.

Suddenly, Melinda’s name was mentioned. They had seen them last night coming in together. Melinda was the one who brought the young man to the organisation.

They were spotted together again. It showed that the young man was going to be under Melinda. He could probably join her team later.

The teammates of Melinda were present among them as well. They disliked the news. Melinda is a Tier-5 Beast Tamer.

If she is looking after the recruit, it shows that she is going to let him join their team. The team members didn’t like it. They decided to confront her about it.

But Melinda was following the orders of Head Harold. Others didn’t know about it.

...

Meanwhile,

Jeremy Night entered the practice room. He didn’t know about the things happening outside. So, he focused on his practice time.

Time went by,

He ended the practice two hours later. He got a message from Senior Melinda, so he ended his practice earlier.

Then he walked out and went to the bath. He spent 20 minutes in the bath. He then walked out and changed into casual clothes.

After getting ready, he left the room and went to the lobby. He met with Senior Melinda there. This time, he felt numerous gazes on his back.

The members didn’t hide their actions. Their faces were filled with dissatisfaction.

Suddenly, a burly middle-aged man approached them. Senior Melinda seemed to know him.

"Rick, what is it?" Melinda asked.

The burly man’s name was Rick. He was one of her team members.

Rick stood cross-armed. His gaze fell on the young man before turning towards her.

"Melinda, do you know what you are doing?"

"Nobody likes the news of the young beast tamer joining here. He is just a Tier-2 Beast Tamer. There is a rumour going on that he is going to join our team."

"Is that true?" Rick asked.

Not far away from them, the members were watching the show. They could hear their conversation.

Even the staff stopped working and looked towards them. They were dissatisfied, but so far, no one had caused a problem for the young man.

No one went that far.

Jeremy Night was angry in his heart. He disliked the fact that people judged someone based on the book cover. They didn’t know anything about him.

Melinda’s eyes flashed with a glint.

"Rick, Head Harold has given me the order to guide the young man. If you have any problem, you can ask him," Melinda said.

"Head Harold," Rick uttered.

He gulped his saliva. He had thought it was her own doing. But he didn’t expect the founder to support this young man.

Then he felt his face burning. He didn’t have the guts to face the founder. So, he left the place.

Gasp!

The staff exclaimed. They had suspected it earlier. But they didn’t expect the news to be true. The founder was supporting the young man.

No wonder he was recruited despite being a Tier-2 Beast Tamer. Everyone had mixed reactions. Some of them felt glad that they didn’t target the young man.

Otherwise, the consequences would have been dangerous.

Melinda was pissed off. She brought Jeremy Night outside. She didn’t expect the team member to be so foolish.

She thought someone must have instigated him to ask the question. Then they arrived at her car. She sat in the driver’s seat.

She asked Jeremy to take the back seat.

Shortly afterwards,

The car departed from the place. They left the organisation. The spies outside, as usual, ignored the flying cars.

"It’s good that no one caused any problem. They forgot that the organisation has become strong because of the merger. It’s all thanks to Head Neil Moon."

"So you don’t have one but two Tier-8 Beast Tamers behind you," Melinda said while driving the car.

"Don’t take these people’s reactions to heart," she added.

On the other hand, Jeremy Night didn’t take the Senior Beast Tamer’s behaviour to his heart. He was used to this kind of situation.

So he said, "I’m fine, Senior."

Melinda nodded her head. She then thought about the destination. First, she wanted to show him the places of the underground organisation.

They had their own area of operation as well.

[Gym Street]

It didn’t take long for her to enter the area where there were fewer flying vehicles. But the people were using the footpath.

This particular street had gym buildings on both sides. At the end of the street was a massive towering building.

It was the Association for Bodybuilders. Melinda’s eyes flickered.

She didn’t go deeper inside. Instead, she halted the car and turned towards Jeremy Night.

"Do you find anything different about this place?" she asked.

Hearing that, Jeremy looked at the street through the window. He was using his sharp eye power. He found many bodybuilders walking by.

He noticed the buildings on both sides of the street were mostly gym buildings. His gaze then swept across before finding the towering building at the end.

He saw the name board identifying it as the Association Building. He didn’t find anything wrong. This seemed to be a place filled with gym enthusiasts. Maybe he could come here to train his body.

He then said, "Senior, this place seems to be good. Maybe I should buy a membership here. I have long wanted to train my body."

Hearing that, Melinda was dumbfounded. She knew about his information. She then realised his main talent had to do with his physique.
