STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 198: Part 2: Javier’s target

City A:

A few days passed since the disaster ended. Most people managed to save their lives during the incident. The injured were getting treatment as well. Yet, some unavoidable death tolls were recorded.

Since then, the city is slowly recovering to normal. People are recovering from the disaster's aftermath. Yet, the truth was not known to the public.

The City Governors decided to investigate the case behind the scenes. If the news about Goldcorp's involvement in the incident were leaked, it would cause panic among the people.

Not only in their zone but in the cities in the surrounding areas as well. The consequences would be severe. So the three City Governors were careful.

Meanwhile,

Rick was staying low-key. He didn't engage in any other activities, especially after secretly learning that the City Governors were going to talk to the founders. He became alert.

He asked his assistant to erase any leftover traces and to cover any loopholes left behind. But he didn't know about his assistant's activities.

On the other hand, Javier was doing all the things that were instructed of him. At the same time, he had dispatched a few men to watch over the first-year university student, Jeremy.

He told his men to teach that kid a lesson when he left the university. He was doing this despite his master Rick asking him to stay low-key.

Javier knew that his master wouldn't like it, but he didn't take the matter of teaching Tier-1 Beast Tamers seriously. So he didn't report to him.

...

Central University 14:

The atmosphere in the university had returned to normal as well. The Beast Tamers went back to their studies and practice.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years were engaging in their activities as usual. The first years were still discussing Jeremy Night and Victor Scott, but their topic was only discussed among themselves.

No one wanted to discuss it in front of Victor Scott because he had been in a bad mood lately. Even the Control Department students were staying away from him.

Meanwhile,

Jeremy and others had been busy with their activities. Jeremy had been regularly visiting the training facilities as he wanted to raise his Beast Taming Rank.

But he soon found out that his unknown egg lifeline beast needed rich natural energy resources. If he stayed there for a long time, his progress wouldn't be that great.

On top of that, the natural energy in the environment there was not dense and pure compared to some places in the wilderness.

Jeremy had one such place in mind. He thought that if he went there one more time, he could become Rank 6 sooner. But that place was dangerous.

Last time, he accompanied Senior Violet Heath and her team. But when they returned, there were few survivors. He was not stupid enough to check other places.

He was only looking for a new environment filled with pure, rich natural energy. He was not looking for treasures, as long as he didn't wander around and go to the restricted area.

For example, the Black Lake. If he avoided that place, he could be safe. After gaining some clarity, he decided to leave tomorrow.

But before that, he needed to refill his supplies, such as the beast repellent odor, since he had been to that dangerous place.

He knew that the corrupted beasts living there were stronger than the beasts roaming the wilderness.

He still had toad poison. He wanted to buy a few other items as well, such as poison gas, which might help him from being swarmed by the beasts.

So, Jeremy immediately left the university. He didn't even share his plan with Instructor Jacob and the others. If Instructor Jacob knew, he wouldn't allow him to leave.

Meanwhile, Daniel Stone and Betsy Lowe were busy training. He didn't want to go on a mission with them unless they were ready.

After arriving on the street, he booked an air taxi. It didn't take long for the flying air car to arrive and land in front of him.

Jeremy then told the driver to take him to the store. After knowing the fare, he entered the vehicle. The flying car hovered above the ground before heading toward the destination.

Not long after the flying taxi left, two flying black cars followed it. They were the men sent by Javier, who had been waiting since last night.

They hadn't expected to meet the target so soon.

About 10 minutes later,

The flying car landed in front of the store. Jeremy stepped outside and paid the fare to the driver. He didn't even notice the two black cars landing not far away from them.

Jeremy then turned around and looked at the store. This was the same store where he usually shopped. He then walked up to the door.

Creak!

He opened the door and stepped inside. He saw customers buying items; there was quite a crowd here.

He then walked up to the desk, where a staff member quickly came to see him.

"Customer, what do you want?" he asked.

"Show me the latest poison series. I need poison gas," Jeremy said to the staff.

"Yes, we have a poison series with us. I'll go and bring the products for you," the staff replied before leaving the area.

Meanwhile,

A few men dressed in black tuxedos stepped out of the black cars. They saw the target going inside the store. One of them immediately called Javier to inform him.

When the call was connected, Javier learned the details. He was surprised to hear such good news so soon.

Old man Javier thought that if someone bought items from the store, there was a possibility that person would go to the wilderness.

He then ordered his men to strictly follow the target. If the target went to the wilderness, then they could enter the wilderness to teach that brat a lesson.

After saying that, he ended the call without specifying whether he wanted the brat dead or not. But he believed his men would go for the kill.
