Chapter 424: Empty pond
City A(10th Zone):
Time passed,
The night came again. The unknown beast egg has been digesting the energy. It has become hungry again and started absorbing the natural energy from the spring pond.
Seeing that Jeremy Night was shocked. He knows this was not possible for the ordinary lifeline beast. But his unknown beast egg has been shocking him from the beginning.
He quickly calmed his heart and started paying attention. He needs to become strong so that he can avoid the hidden arrows.
He was sure that once the situation got normal. The beast-taming forces would start attacking each other again. He has shown his talent again. It will attract unwanted eyes soon.
Time passed,
The next day has come as well. Jeremy Night looks around him. The colourful spring water has dried out. His heart was set on storms.
He doesn't know what to say.
"If others find out they would definitely ask me questions. When Audrey gave me a time limit of three days, I didn't know whether she had expected the spring pond to become dry," Jeremy thought.
He doesn't know what to do. Because the time limit for the 3rd day is still there. If he goes out, it would attract more attention. So he has decided to go out after the 3rd day.
He continued to stay in this empty pond. The unknown beast egg has become silent. It must be digesting the natural energy now.
At the same time, Jeremy Night is using his brain to think of a solution.
He was sure that if he said the spring water would disappear back to the ground, then he thought they would believe it.
But if he tells them the truth, then it might cause unnecessary problems.
...
Shadow Moon Organisation:
Sinag and Ada were worried about Jeremy Night. They haven't seen him for the last two days. They have decided to ask Leader Gisela.
They think Leader Gisela might know about his whereabouts. They came to see her in her office. Gisela was in her office.
She saw both of them outside and allowed them to enter. Sinag and Ada walked into her room. Both of them had worry on their faces.
Seeing that Gisela immediately understood.
"That kid is staying in the Reed Family's Field Area. He might return today," She said to them.
"Reed Family," Sinag uttered in surprise.
Ada was taken aback as well. Both of them knew about the Reed Family. One of the top beast-taming families in the city.
"Once he comes back. You can ask him the details," Gisela said to them.
Now that they know the answer. Both of them walked out of the office and went back to the lobby to discuss.
They were sure about Jeremy Night's day-to-day activities. So they don't know how Jeremy came in contact with the Reed Family.
In the lobby, they were sitting in cushioned chairs. They are looking at each other's faces in confusion.
Ada said, "I think he must have met them because of the Beast Taming Association's mission."
"You are right," Sinag uttered.
She had thought the same as well. Because it was the only place where Jeremy Night visited outside the Shadow Moon Organisation.
But Jeremy Night didn't say anything to them at that time. Then they have decided to ask Jeremy Night when he comes back.
Meanwhile,
Leader Gisela was contacted by the Central University of the 14th zone. She knew it was Jeremy Night's university. She could guess the intention behind this call.
She then sends them a message that Jeremy Night was fine. She also wanted the news to convey the message back to Jeremy Night's parents.
On the other hand, the rebuilding efforts are going on full swing. The City Administration is handling this work. But the City Governors are paying attention to some other matter.
They are monitoring the wilderness. The corrupted beasts have started coming back to the inner and outer areas.
It won't take long for the corrupted beasts to fill the wilderness again. At the same time, there is no activity in the core area.
The Spider Lord and Black Centipede Colossal beast were recovering from their injuries. Right now, they are hidden in another hideout.
Right now, no other Colossal Beasts have come to attack them. Because the other Colossal Beasts didn't know their whereabouts.
So they are focusing on healing. Even the Towering Ape doesn't know about their whereabouts. After dragging them back to the core area, it had left.
The core area is extremely vast and large. The low-tier corrupted beasts were going back to their places. But none of them were going to the area of the human settlements.
Because they lacked a leader. There are no higher-tier beasts to guide them.
...
Cave structure,
Time passed,
At night, Jeremy has decided to come outside.
He had been doing nothing since the morning. He thinks it's okay to leave at night. He walked out of the spring pond.
He began to check the storage ring for any new dresses. He sees the set of fresh clothes inside. He then began to change his clothing.
A few minutes later,
Jeremy Night started heading back to the exit. After going through the narrow path, he came to the exit and appeared outside.
The Head of the Patrol Guards and his team were there outside. Upon seeing him, they were stunned.
"I had thought you would come out tomorrow," The Head Guard said.
Hearing that Jeremy smiled and thanked the Guard.
He then informed Audrey Reed at night. He has decided to go back. After speaking to her, he ended the call.
Then he started going towards the exit. The Head Guard sent one of the members to accompany Jeremy Night to the exit.
Both of them headed toward the main gate. Upon arriving there, Jeremy thanked the guard before walking out.
Now, he has to walk on foot to reach the main street. He started doing that. The city is awake. The rebuilding efforts were going on. Most of the workers work night shifts as well.
