STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 607: Part 2: Departure

10th Zone, City-A

The Beast Tamers who accepted the Tier-6 Mission from the mission board had left the area. They had already started their work.

A large number of people entered the wilderness. They went to the same site where the murdered students had been buried.

They found other corpses as well. They dug up those bodies and stored them inside containers, intending to hand the corpses back to Central University.

Even if they failed to collect information, they could still get rewards for the corpses. They knew the Beast Taming Families behind the deceased would not forget their help.

While some of them started looking for the corpses, others were genuinely interested in the investigation.

For example, there were Beast Tamers whose talents related to scouting and surveillance. They were working hard to collect information.

...

Meanwhile,

Dean Parker had succeeded with his plan. So many people were undertaking the mission. He didn’t know when the results would come in.

However, he was able to convince the Beast Taming Families. The families were relieved, believing that their family members’ corpses could be found.

The other forces were curious about the mission as well. They didn’t know about the client behind the mission. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The information was only known to the Head of the Beast Taming Association. The Head of the Beast Taming Association received calls from the heads of many forces.

But the Head of the Beast Taming Association refused to tell them. He knew why these families were calling him.

Everyone was interested in the reward, but he didn’t even know what it was. When he asked Dean Parker about the reward, Parker refused to tell him.

He got angry in the moment, but then he recalled that Central University was as powerful as the Beast Taming Association.

He thought it must be an instruction from the higher-ups. Otherwise, he believed Dean Parker would have told him.

So, he didn’t disturb Dean Parker. However, he kept receiving constant calls. Everyone thought he was the one refusing to tell them.

A day later,

The Head of the Beast Taming Association received a call from Headquarters. The news had reached their ears already.

He immediately told them what he knew from Dean Parker, including the information about the reward.

The higher-ups believed him. They, too, thought that Central University’s Headquarters was involved in this matter. So, the higher-ups didn’t bother to dig further into the matter.

The Head of the Beast Taming Association sighed in relief. He was worried that the higher-ups would scold him and force him to reveal some information.

Fortunately, that did not happen.

...

Meanwhile,

The Beast Tamers recovered more than 20 corpses. They were all handed back to Central University 10.

Dean Parker and other instructors gave them rewards. Although the reward was not any treasure, it was credit points.

The Beast Taming Families started giving them credit points as well.

While this was going on, the media was reporting on the deaths. It was disclosed that someone or a group had murdered the students.

The mission was about finding their information. The locals and other small and medium-sized forces were terrified.

For them, Central University 10 was one of the top forces. No one dared to offend them. But someone had caused this much trouble; it must be another top force.

But they didn’t know which force it was. The heads of various forces were shocked as well. The Head of the Beast Taming Association knew the crisis was severe. But he never expected it to be this severe.

Dean Parker refused to tell the reason. Now, he knew why. He was sure that it was not them.

Then who targeted Central University 10? Many of the students who graduated from Central University are part of the Human Alliance.

He realized that the matter was going to turn into something big.

...

Shadow Moon Chamber

The following day,

Jeremy Night woke up early. He got out of bed and started his morning routine. Today was the day he was going to leave the 10th Zone.

A new journey awaited him.

After completing his morning routine, he went to take a shower. He spent 20 minutes in the bathroom. Then, he walked out and changed into fresh clothes, though not his uniform.

After doing that, he started to get ready. He began to pack his things. Most of the items were already inside his storage ring.

An hour later,

He walked out of the room and closed the door. He took his keys and headed towards Leader Gisela’s room.

When he got there, the door was open. He walked inside and found Leader Gisela was already there.

He immediately greeted her. Gisela knew Jeremy Night would come because it was the day he was departing for the 5th Zone.

She looked at him and said, "When I first recruited you from the 14th Zone, I didn’t expect you to progress this fast. Not only did you contribute during the Beast Invasion..."

"You have completed many important missions as well," she added.

Jeremy Night smiled and said, "Leader, it’s all because of you and Head Neil Moon’s support. Even Seniors Sinag and Ada helped me a lot."

He then thought of something. Although he had already informed his parents, he decided to contact them again before leaving.

He spoke with Leader Gisela about it. While they were discussing it, Head Neil Moon called her.

Gisela answered the call. She heard that Head Neil Moon wanted to meet Jeremy Night before he left for the 5th Zone.

She ended the call and turned towards Jeremy Night.

"Head Neil Moon wants to see you. You can go see him now." After saying that, she took out a ticket and gave it to him.

Jeremy accepted the ticket.

She then said, "I sent you the map of the 5th Zone, as well as some important information about the distribution of forces there."

Hearing that, Jeremy thanked her before collecting the ticket into his storage ring.
