Chapter 1085: Part 3: Final Chance

City A (4th Zone)

Inside the special practice room, Jeremy Night was busy practicing. He forgot about the outside noise. He could feel the slight improvement in his physique.

At one point, he had thought his body had reached its limit. But every few hours, his body cells started absorbing the natural energy again.

It showed that there was still room for improvement. So, he continued absorbing the natural energy.

On the other hand, Stella was one step away from a breakthrough. At any moment now, she could break out from the egg.

Fine, thin cracks had appeared all over the surface of the lifeline beast egg. The egg was shining with a bright white light.

Postnoon

The manager and the admin staff were almost biting their nails. They were worried about Jeremy Night. They had thought the young man might come out before noon.

Now the time was well past afternoon. Still, there was no sign of the young man coming out. The admin staff went to the manager.

They voiced their concerns, but the manager himself was worried. He had already made up his mind to inform the higher-ups later in the evening.

So he told the admin staff not to disturb Jeremy Night until then.

Evening time came

Inside the special practice room, Jeremy opened his eyes. His body cells were no longer absorbing the natural energy.

He didn’t know why, but he felt his body had truly reached the limit of Tier-3, 9th Rank - Peak.

It had been a long time since he had pushed his body to the limit without the help of the feedback energy from Stella.

He felt good about himself. He decided to try his best hereafter during each future breakthrough.

He then collected his thoughts and shifted his attention to the lifeline beast egg. He saw big changes on the egg.

The thin cracks had increased, spreading all over the egg’s surface. The egg looked livelier and brighter.

He didn’t know why he had this feeling that Stella could come out at any time. He didn’t want to miss the opportunity to see her break out from the egg.

So he didn’t try to practice again. Instead, he observed the egg. He didn’t want to call out to Stella, as it could disturb her and break her concentration.

Stella continued the absorption. A few fragments of her broken memories fused together. She knew her kind.

It made the breakthrough process faster.

Outside

The manager had been keeping an eye on the clock from time to time. Seeing that it was past evening, he decided not to wait any longer.

He would inform his superior. It was up to him to make any further decisions. His direct superior was one of the elders here.

The elders answered to the Head of the Beast Taming Association here. The manager headed directly to the office.

He arrived there in two minutes. The office was located in the same building. The manager asked for permission.

He specifically mentioned it was an urgent matter related to the special base. Right away, he was given permission to enter.

The manager entered the office. He saw an old man in his seventies sitting cross-legged on the ground. There was no table or desk inside the room.

The elder had been using the office as a practice room. The old man felt the manager’s presence.

He opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the manager. The manager immediately felt a powerful pressure bearing down on him.

He broke out in a cold sweat. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The old man was a man of few words. Though he was ranked higher than the manager, he rarely interfered in the administration.

But this time, it was related to the special base. The old man raised his eyebrows and asked, "What’s with the special base?"

The manager heard the question. Only now did he feel somewhat normal; the invisible pressure had vanished.

He then briefed the old man on the situation.

A few minutes later,

The old man was surprised internally, but he didn’t show it on his face. He thought that the young man from the special base could be using the special practice room for a breakthrough.

And it was the first time he had heard of the special base recruiting a Tier-3 Beast Tamer as a member.

There were many elders in the special base. If they had all agreed, then they must have seen something special in that young man.

He then inquired who gave the golden card to Jeremy Night. The manager answered him.

When the old man heard about Senior Dave from Dave’s Lab, he was not surprised. He knew that person worked closely with the special base.

He had made significant contributions to the Beast Taming Association. That was why the Head of the Beast Taming Association gave one of the golden cards to that person.

Now that the young man from the special base was using it, he thought the young man must have been surprised by the pure energy there.

Even if an accident happened inside, it would not be their fault. It would be the fault of the Beast Tamer.

He then said, "The young man could be going through a breakthrough. There is no need to disturb him."

"If something happens, no one can blame us. So you guys can rest assured. Tell the others not to disturb him as well," the old man said.

Hearing that, the manager nodded his head. He was then granted permission to leave. He left the office, and the old man resumed his practice.

The manager stepped outside and sighed in relief. He had done the right thing by reporting the matter to the elder.

Since the elder had said there wouldn’t be any problem for them, they could stop worrying about the young man.

The manager then went to the admin desk. He met with the day shift staff and shared the news with them.

He told them to inform the night shift staff as well. There was no need to think about the young man anymore; let him practice inside the special practice room.

There was no need to disturb him. Hearing that, the admin staff all agreed.
