STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 218: Breach of trust

Old factory site:

Billy's question caused a stir. Old man Derek frowned. He sensed some conspiracy behind it. He turned towards Romeo Barrett.

"Kid, what's going on?"

"Tell me the truth," Old man Derek asked.

Romeo Barrett felt the gazes of the senior students on him. He felt helpless inside. He didn't dare to offend them.

"I was kidnapped by Jeremy Night!"

Romeo Barrett's voice reached everyone's ears.

The faces of the high-tier beast tamers behind Old man Derek changed drastically. Even Old man Derek's expression darkened. His eyes flashed with anger.

"Ha... Ha... Ha...!"

A huge laughter erupted as the senior students began to laugh to their heart's content. Timothy and Billy were smiling ear to ear. They knew Romeo Barrett wouldn't dare to sell them out.

Romeo Barrett was scared. Even if he didn't offend the senior students, he was going to offend the elders and instructors. More importantly, he might offend Jeremy Night.

Meanwhile,

Jeremy Night, who was watching secretly, felt enraged. He had come to rescue Romeo Barrett, but he didn't expect him to be such an ungrateful person. He had falsely accused him.

Old man Derek said, "Maybe you don't know. We were informed by Jeremy Night. That's why we were able to come here sooner."

"If the university wants, then we can check your location by tracking your digital device. So don't lie to my face," he added.

Quiet!

Hearing that, the atmosphere quieted down all of a sudden. The loud laughter stopped as well. The senior students were not without brains.

They knew it was difficult to falsely accuse someone. In today's day and age, people can easily find out the culprit.

Billy looked at Romeo Barrett before turning toward the elder.

"Elder, I know you guys can learn the truth. But the problem here is you can't take action without Romeo Barrett's confession."

"Romeo Barrett won't tell. If you really want to arrest someone, then you will have to attract the STRIKER Department Representative, Jeremy Night."

"But if you are hell-bent on catching us, then I'll have to contact my parents," Billy, the second-year student, explained, standing cross-armed.

"That's right. I'll call my parents if the university falsely accuses us," Timothy said in a threatening tone. He was really not afraid of the university.

Old man Derek and the other elders' faces worsened. He came to realize that it was difficult for him to press them. He then sighed in his heart before saying, "You guys can leave."

"Harumph," Billy snorted.

Timothy revealed a cold smile as well. Then they left the place with others. They didn't know Jeremy Night was watching them leave.

Romeo Barrett was panicking. He knew these guys would leave unharmed. But he was stuck here.

"Trash!"

"I never thought the Attack Department Representative would be a coward like you," Old man Derek said to Romeo Barrett.

Romeo Barrett felt ashamed, but he couldn't refute his words.

"Let's go, we have wasted our time here." After saying that, Derek Gibson left with the elders.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, everyone left the old factory site.

Romeo Barrett was the only one left alone inside, while Jeremy Night was watching from outside. He didn't leave and wanted to see what he was up to.

He hated his actions right now. But he knew that many people would make the same decision. No one wanted to offend powerful senior students for someone else's sake.

His kidnapping was a trap set by the senior students. Their goal was to thrash him. But it ended up in failure.

From now on, he had to be wary of the senior students' schemes. He believed they must have known about his background. Despite that, they took such actions. It showed that he should be cautious of them.

Then Jeremy saw Romeo Barrett leaving the place with a dejected look. He thought that he might not be going to the university today.

About a few minutes later,

Jeremy Night walked out of the place. After coming to the street, he booked a flying car. He was not planning to go to the university.

He was going to visit the Beast Taming Store before going to the university. Jeremy understood something: as long as he stayed in the university, he would face schemes from the senior students.

After seeing that the First Year Department Head had shut his mouth, he clearly saw no safety inside the university. Even if he did something out of anger, the university wouldn't stand behind him.

"All those righteous talks, yet people bend their backs when facing powerful backgrounds," Jeremy thought.

He didn't expect one day he would face such situations. He was the son of City Governor Ron in City C. He had walked freely in City C.

No one dared to plot against him. Even the heirs of the other two City Governors saw him as a rival. They didn't cross their lines.

While he was contemplating his situation, the flying car reached his place. He then entered the car.

About 20 minutes later,

The cab driver dropped him off at the store. After paying the fare, he walked into the shop. His eyes swept across the customers and staff before finding someone.

He then walked up to the desk. A male staff member approached him.

"Customer, how can I help?" he asked.

"Is there any poison more powerful than toad poison?" he asked.

"Uh," the staff was stunned.

"Don't worry, it's for a mission. If there is a more powerful poison, it can poison powerful corrupted beasts before escaping," Jeremy explained.

The staff understood. He then asked Jeremy to wait for a second before leaving. Jeremy was doing this for a purpose. He knew how dangerous the Black Lake beast was.

That beast was really unkillable. Even his starlight energy failed to harm it. He could only pin his hopes on more potent poison.

The next thing he wanted to buy was the sharpest knife. Right now, both his katana and knife were basic grades. They could harm up to Tier-4 beasts.

Right now, he had to find something sharper to break the skin of the Black Beasts.

Shortly afterward,

The staff came back with a small bottle in his hand. Inside the bottle, the poison was purple.

"Customer, it's the poison of the purple-spotted snake. It's a beast of Tier-6 rank. Since it's a Tier-6 corrupted beast, its poison is more powerful than toad poison," the staff said.

Jeremy raised his head and asked, "Is there any more powerful poison available in the store?"

Hearing that, the staff had black lines on his forehead. This was the stock they had left. They didn't have anything more powerful than the purple-spotted snake.

"Guest, it's the most powerful poison we have in our store. If you want anything more powerful than that, you can check other stores," the staff said.

Hearing that, Jeremy frowned. He didn't have time to go to other stores. So he decided to buy this poison. Then he asked about the sharpest knife, but the price of the knife was expensive.

Shortly afterward,

He walked out of the shop with reluctance. He didn't want to buy such an expensive knife.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. He considered that the university might have a weapon storage room. He could borrow a good weapon from the university.

His mouth curved into a smile thinking about it.

Then he booked a flying car and returned to the university 20 minutes later.

At the university, he returned to his dorm room. He didn't know whether the news of Romeo Barrett had spread or not.

But he wouldn't care about it anymore. He cleared his mind of those thoughts and started to prepare for the next day's wilderness trip.

Meanwhile,

Inside the dean's office, Dean Carolyn was speaking to the two department elders. Her expression was ugly. She was really pissed off.

She had heard everything from Elder Derek.

"Those two really crossed the line," Carolyn said with anger.

"What was worse?"

"Jeremy Night might inquire about the incident later," Derek told her.

A confusion flashed in the eyes of Elder Kayla.

She didn't understand why these two were worried about that kid. As far as she knew, that kid was the STRIKER Department Representative.

Sigh!

Carolyn sighed. She was now more worried about Jeremy Night. The senior kids would definitely go after him.

If something happened, then she really would have to pick a side. She felt a headache while thinking about it. She knew the root cause of the problem.

It was the STRIKER Department. So far, some families had tried to do something, but the warnings from the Heath and Knox families had stopped them.

Now the senior students belonged to different forces stirring up trouble. She knew she had to do something.

After the discussion, the two elders left. She knew Elder Kayla was confused. But there was something she didn't want to tell her.

...

On the other hand, Billy and Timothy were attending classes inside their respective departments with their friends. Others had no clue regarding what they had done.

It was just the beginning; they would act against Jeremy Night even more in the coming days.
