Chapter 144: Jeremy's tough decision
Central University 14:
Dean's office,
Jacob was taken aback. He was hoping that Dean Carolyn would do something. Instead, she suggested a clever plan. But this would also involve Jeremy Night and his family.
"Dean, what if Jeremy Night's family is dragged into this?" he asked.
Carolyn replied, "I know what you are worried about. But someone from the Human Alliance can stop them. Otherwise, there are some powerful families who can stop them, but they are in top zones."
"If you want me to help, then you can give me evidence. I'll share it with the Human Alliance. It's too risky to confront them directly," she added.
Instructor Jacob nodded before saying, "I'll report it to him. But he wanted to talk to you earlier. If you want, I can make a video call."
Carolyn shook her head.
She said, "Tell that kid not to get involved in this matter. Even if it's about collecting evidence, it should be done via the City Administration."
"In this way, no one can suspect anything wrong," she added.
"Okay, I'll let him know," Jacob said.
Then they spoke about a few other things before he left the dean's office.
"Mighty Order, what are they up to?" she asked herself.
Already, they were wounded by the beast invasion. Now the criminals were acting behind the scenes. Like Jacob, she was also worried that their actions might cause harm to City C.
But without evidence, she didn't want to jump to any conclusions.

Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Jeremy left the training chamber in the evening. After the small evolution, his overall strength had increased again. There were 5 more ranks to go. But the higher the rank, the higher the difficulty.
After pushing down these thoughts, he returned to the mansion. When he got to his room, he went to take a bath to cleanse himself.
About 20 minutes later,
He got out of the bath. Then he changed into casual clothes. Jeremy then sat on the sofa. He came here to do some maintenance. Instead, he was busy practicing the explosive steps.
But the environment here was calm. If he had stayed back at the University, people would have come to challenge him. He doubted whether he would have gotten any time for practice.
Beep!
His thoughts were disturbed by the sudden call. He saw that the person who was video calling him was none other than Instructor Jacob.
He immediately thought of the illegal organization called the Mighty Order. He then accepted the call.
The projection of Instructor Jacob appeared above the screen.
"Jeremy, I spoke to Dean Carolyn," Jacob said.
Hearing that, Jeremy's eyes flickered.
He asked, "Instructor, what was the result?"
Jacob didn't plan to hide anything, so he started to tell everything.
About 10 minutes later,
Jeremy's expression turned ugly. He had thought of using Central University's influence to counter the illegal groups. But he hadn't expected the dean to be this passive.
She wanted the City Governors of City C to deal with this. What could the City Governors of small City C do?
Jeremy then turned his attention towards the projection of Instructor Jacob.
"Instructor, I don't think it's wise to involve the City Governors. If the people behind the illegal groups decide to attack, then my own family would find themselves in danger," Jeremy said in a solemn tone.
"I know. That's why she has asked for evidence. Without evidence, even she was not ready to offend them. The illegal groups' origin is from another zone."
"It's wise for you not to go after them. Your strength is still weak. If you want, you can come back and do some other mission," Jacob replied.
"Okay, I'm coming back in a few days," Jeremy said.
Then they spoke about a few other things before ending the call. But Jeremy's mood was worse. He felt slightly betrayed. He knew that Dean Carolyn might be thinking about the overall picture.
She didn't want to offend the organization from the other zone. But he couldn't stay silent. The illegal groups' activities were threatening City C.
He didn't know what they were planning with all those beast corpses. If they harmed or killed powerful corrupted beasts, then their chances of retaliation would be high.
Normally, Tier-6 and above beasts could think like humans. If they harbored any ill intentions towards City C, then it would be troublesome.
A cold sweat bead appeared on his forehead.
He told Instructor Jacob that he would return after a few days. But in reality, he needed time to come up with a solution to fix the problem.
He couldn't ignore the threat.
Like Dean Carolyn suggested, he could inform his father, who was one of the City Governors here. But he knew if his father learned about this, then he would involve himself in investigating this matter.
Then the people behind the illegal groups would definitely target his father. He didn't want to see such a situation.
After calming his heart, he decided to investigate this matter by himself. If possible, he would try to collect the evidence.
Jeremy then looked at the time on the clock. He could go outside to buy necessary gadgets. After making the decision, he stood up to dress again.
About a few minutes later,
He wore a navy blue tuxedo and mask before leaving the mansion. The Night Family Guards immediately saw him. But he stopped them from following him.
The Night Family Captain and the guards were shocked. Only the Captain realized that their young master might be here on an official mission, so he didn't disturb Jeremy Night.
Shortly afterward,
A flying car arrived and landed in front of Jeremy. The cab driver immediately recognized him. But upon seeing him using a mask to cover his face, the driver decided to pretend.
Jeremy hopped inside the car and told the driver to drop him in front of a store affiliated with the Beast Taming Association.
Last time, he bought the gadgets in City A. But that was for a different mission. Now he needed to buy some safety items, like the toad poison.
