STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 638: Malicious rumours

5th Zone, City-A

Central University No.5

"I’m going to see how he can contact Catherine again." After saying that, Jessie left the place.

Clint and Travis exchanged looks. They were not going to get involved in this matter because the Rosewood family was not an ordinary family.

They didn’t want to anger Catherine. They thought Jessie was unnecessarily making things big. Then, they left the place.

The news spread to the senior students who kept an eye on Catherine Rosewood.

There were Senior brothers and sisters from the Rosewood Family studying in the University as well.

When they heard the news, they were not happy. They decided to inform the family later.

On the other hand, Catherine was stunned. She was sure that no one was present there during the meeting with Jeremy Night yesterday.

Then she realized someone might have noticed her presence yesterday. But she was not afraid. It would save her the time of explaining to people, including her family.

She thought her father might have done the investigation already. She hoped that no one knew about the green necklace gift.

Otherwise, there would be more people pissed off. Then Jeremy Night could face more attacks from University students.

Red Moon Chamber

Harold Red was in his room. He was going through the report. The elder responsible for the intel sent him a report as well.

After finishing the first report, he turned towards the second report and started going through it. His eyes glinted with understanding.

The name of Jeremy Night was mentioned in that report.

"This kid met with the girl of the Rosewood Family," Harold thought.

He doubted the meeting was a coincidence because he didn’t know what the university student was doing at the shopping mall.

He knew something about the girl. He hoped that kid would be safe. It was best for him not to come in contact with descendants of the Beast Taming Families.

He then called Melinda and told her to warn Jeremy Night. Melinda was shocked. Head Harold told her about the Rosewood Family’s kid.

Melinda didn’t suspect anything. She thought the meeting must have been a coincidence. But they didn’t know anything about the green necklace gift.

She then agreed to advise him.

Head Harold ended the call. He then shifted focus to other works.

...

Room

After stabilizing his new strength, he once again went inside the practice room. He started practicing the blade, from the basic steps and footwork.

He wanted to master the new strength. It didn’t take long for him to repeat the process many times.

Then he started practicing the blade one move.

Time went by.

That evening, he ended the practice and walked out of the room. He then went to the bathroom. He spent 20 minutes in the bath.

Then he walked out and changed into comfortable clothes. He was feeling good after the breakthrough and then continuous practice.

But he still needed more time to control the new strength. Then he took out the digital device and leaned back. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He saw there were many unread messages. He opened the first one and saw the message was from Melinda.

Seeing that, he was surprised. He then opened the message and began to read it. His eyes flashed with surprise.

Senior Melinda wanted to meet him in the evening. It was exactly evening time, so he got up and left his room.

He came to the lobby. He saw that members were going about their business. His gaze fell on the waiting area.

Then he saw Senior Melinda seated on the sofa. Before he could think further, he felt the gazes of people on his back.

Their gazes were filled with mixed intentions. He ignored them and walked up to the seating area.

His arrival caught her attention.

Melinda was reading a book. She raised her head and saw him. Her eyes flashed with surprise because she found the aura of Jeremy Night had become stronger again. She could feel it.

"Did you break through again?" She asked.

Hearing that, Jeremy was not surprised. She could tell the change in him.

"Yes," Jeremy replied.

Melinda was shocked again after getting the confirmation. How long has it been? First mid stage, then the Peak stage soon.

She then collected her thoughts and stood up.

She said, "Walk with me!"

Hearing that, Jeremy nodded to her and started following her. Both of them then exited the building.

They started walking towards the garden. While walking, she started talking about Catherine Rosewood.

She then asked, "Did you meet her?"

Jeremy was taken aback. He couldn’t believe that she was able to know.

"Yes." After saying that, he started explaining the events.

A few minutes later,

"I even think there is something wrong with the meeting. But I couldn’t pinpoint it. I only knew that there were people following me," he said to her.

Melinda then said, "Your meeting with Catherine Rosewood could have been a coincidence. But someone saw you two and spread malicious rumors."

"Rumor?" Jeremy uttered.

He was hearing it for the first time.

Melinda smiled and said, "Your meeting with Catherine Rosewood is widespread now. Someone leaked the news."

"Head Harold called me earlier to warn you. He doesn’t want you to come in contact with the rich family kids," she added.

Jeremy understood her concern. But they didn’t know about the green necklace. That’s why he spoke to her.

Then they came to the garden and found a chair to sit down on. She then shifted the topic and started talking about the front line battle.

"The battle is going to come to an end in one or two days," she said.

"Then everyone can go to the wilderness again," she added.

Jeremy was interested in the wilderness.

He asked, "Is there any way for me to enter the wilderness?"

Melinda’s eyes flickered. She said, "If you want to stay in the Red Moon Chamber for a long time, then you have to follow the rules."

Jeremy smiled and said, "I wanted to contribute. If you find any opportunity in the future, you can call me."

Melinda nodded her head and said, "Take your time first to reach the Tier-3 stage."
