"Don't try to fool me with official jargon! All I know is that there's a problem with the secret realm under your jurisdiction, and you must give me an explanation!" The burly man blocked the entrance and continued to shout loudly and stubbornly.
"A level 30 boss appearing in a level 2 secret realm? And your alliance still has the face to stand here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately resonated with the surrounding beast tamers!
A large portion of them were students who had just completed their awakening ceremony. If they hadn't been lucky enough to avoid that giant spider, they might have become its dinner by now.
"No, it's not level 30."
A low, angry voice rang out from behind the crowd.
It was Bell, who was trying his best to suppress his anger.
"What did you just say, young man?" The burly man looked at Bell with a doubtful look.
"I said, that beast is not level 30." Bell walked slowly into the crowd, approached the middle-aged woman from the official side, his eyes full of anger like substance, gritted his teeth and said, "That beast is a level 40 beast that has undergone two awakenings!"
"Hiss, what?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present took a cold breath!
The sudden appearance of a level 40 beast here meant something, and everyone present naturally knew what it meant.
It could even be said that if Shana hadn't stopped the beast deep in the secret realm, everyone present would probably not be alive now.
"Young man, are you telling the truth? You're just a bronze-level beast tamer. How could you escape from the mouth of a level 40 beast if you really encountered one?"
The burly man's face was full of doubt, and his suspicion grew even stronger when he saw the beast tamer level medal on Bell's chest.
"That's right. You're just a bronze-level beast tamer. How could you possibly survive encountering a level 40 beast?"
The middle-aged woman's gaze flickered and she quickly followed the burly man's words, questioning sharply, "You must know that spreading false information is a serious crime under the alliance law! I see you're just a student, and it's understandable that you could have made a mistake in your perception during an emergency situation!"
"Please believe that the alliance will give you a satisfactory answer, please leave the secret realm and go to a safe area first!" The middle-aged woman shouted sternly.
She also knew that if she didn't offer some benefits, these people would never give up. Then she spoke again with a deeper meaning, "In light of this incident, the responsibility lies with our alliance's oversight of the secret realm testing process."
"As the manager of the northern secret realm, I will personally approve this secret realm quota for you, refunding all the secret realm fees paid, and giving you an extra secret realm entry quota."
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd fell into deep thought.
After all, no one present was rich or noble. They were naturally very happy to get a free pass to enter the secret realm.
The people looked at each other, and then one of the students shrugged indifferently and said, "Ah, well! Anyway, I didn't encounter that level 30 exotic beast. Let's just leave first…"
As long as one person started everything, there would definitely be an endless stream of people following suit.
The middle-aged woman's lips curved into a smile. The secret realm's abnormality was considered a major accident within the Alliance. No matter how you explained it, as the supervisor of the secret realm, she had to shoulder the responsibility that could not be pushed off.
But with her deliberate manipulation, what was originally an important incident was directly reduced to a common mistake.
Then she looked at Bell, who was still standing beside her, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. However, she concealed it well, extending her left hand with a smile and saying, "Please hand over your bracelet to me, which is your pass to enter the secret realm, if what you said is completely true.
"I'll give you an extra chance to enter the secret realm!"
Bell sneered, he was an old hand in the workplace in his past life, and he knew everything about what the other person was trying to do!
"Isn't the bracelet not only a pass to enter the secret realm, but also has the function of recording the types of exotic beasts encountered?" Bell said coldly.
The middle-aged woman's expression suddenly changed when she heard this. She thought Bell was just a student and wouldn't know about the secrets of the secret realm.
Bell saw the woman's expression change drastically and knew that he was right. He was not making a wild guess. Before entering the secret realm, he had heard an exploration team mention the ranking of the secret realm's bosses.
Since the Alliance could accurately calculate the time when each team killed the boss, there must be a corresponding method to record the exotic beasts encountered.
If nothing went wrong, it should be the bracelet that the alliance distributed to every beast tamer before entering the mystic realm.
"So what?" The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes and her tone was full of disdain. She didn't believe that a mere bronze-level beast tamer could cause any trouble.
"I won't disrupt your original plan," Bell said coldly.
He was telling the truth. The middle-aged woman had already planned to minimize the incident and turn it into a small matter.
"After I leave the secret realm, I will also keep quiet about this incident.
"Even if someone asks me, I won't tell them about meeting a level 40 exotic beast."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's face once again displayed a fake smile. She thought to herself that this kid was quite clever and said casually, "Okay, I'll let it go this time. Since I'm in a good mood, just tell me how many times you want to enter the secret realm."
"No." Bell took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that surged in his heart. "I have a friend who's being attacked by that level-40-30 exotic beast.
"No matter what the alliance's goal is, you should send beast tamers to rescue her now. This is your alliance's responsibility!"
Bell managed to hold back from cursing so far. It was completely unrealistic for him to handle the Level 40 mutant beast by himself.
And right now, the only thing he could do was to remain calm. Engaging in an argument was meaningless and would only infuriate the other party, wasting precious time.
Beast Tamer Alliance! Be a f*cking human!
The middle-aged woman's eyes flickered uncertainly. After thinking for a moment, she just chuckled lightly and said four words, "I'm sorry, I can't help you.
"Right now, there is no beast tamer in the entire Northern Secret Realm Alliance who is confident enough to confront a Level 40 exotic beast. I can't take the risk.
"Putting aside you beast tamers, you have already assumed the risk of life and death before entering the secret realm. Even if you encounter any accidents during the exploration of the secret realm, it has nothing to do with our alliance.
"Moreover, even if there is a secret realm anomaly, the alliance is indeed partially responsible, but who dares to say that anomalies won't occur there?"
The middle-aged woman retracted her left hand and pointed to the crowd leaving the secret realm orderly not far away. She said with a smile, "And you're wrong about one thing, very wrong.
"Look at these people. Even if you reveal this incident, what's the use? Who will believe a Bronze Rank student beast tamer?
"Don't forget, you're just a person…
"And I have hundreds and thousands of witnesses!"
