STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 690: First solo mission

5th Zone, City A

Jeremy Night made a decision and entered the abandoned building. He went to the second floor and entered the room on the right side.

He was sure that the old man would definitely come looking for him. He hid inside the room.

Meanwhile,

The old man, a Tier-5 Beast Tamer, was walking on the sand path. He carefully looked around before ensuring that no one else was here.

He planned to kill the newcomer without using his Lifeline beast because the authorities knew his Lifeline beast.

The members were already on the run. If his actions were exposed, it would further enrage the governors.

He then reached the front area. He used the help of his Lifeline beast to confirm the presence of the target.

After knowing that the target had entered one of the rooms, the old man smiled. He then entered the building and decided to search the rooms one after another.

But there was no need for that. Normally, Lifeline beasts can sense the presence of living things.

The old man used the help of the Lifeline beast to reach the exact room. He saw the room’s door was locked. The target could be hiding inside.

He brought a huge double axe from the storage bracelet. The double axe had a very sharp edge.

He held the two axes in his hands.

"It’s been some time since my double axe tasted blood," the old man muttered.

He then kicked the door with a heavy kick.

Boom!

The door blasted away from the kick. The old man then flashed inside.

He looked around to search the room. Then he saw a blur before his eyes. Before the old man could realize...

Pfff!

The old man’s two arms were severed. Both arms separated from the body, and a torrent of blood gushed forth from the wounds.

Aaahhhh!

The old man let out a blood-curdling scream. He saw both arms carrying the double axes fall to the ground.

Blood dyed the floor.

Jeremy Night appeared in front of the old man. Before the old man could summon his Lifeline beast...

Pfff!

Jeremy slashed down again. The blade in his hand moved before cutting the throat of the old man.

The old man was in disbelief. Until his last breath, he couldn’t believe he was killed by a Tier-3 Beast Tamer.

The old man fell to the ground.

Jeremy Night then appeared. He had sneak-attacked and killed the old man successfully.

If he had appeared boldly in front of the old man, the old man would have brought out the Lifeline beast.

Things could have escalated. Now that he had removed the person who stalked him, he could go back to the organization now.

30 minutes later,

He returned to the Red Moon Chamber quietly. He didn’t speak with anyone and went back to his room.

He is going to busy himself practicing blade moves and thread moves.

....

Meanwhile,

The Beast Taming Teams from major forces were doing their best. They knew it was impossible to fool the Governors. The Governors wanted results.

Time went by.

Numerous hideouts were exposed by the Beast Taming Teams. Not only that, but many criminals were caught hiding in the hideouts.

The Governors are happy about the result. It’s one of the ways to appease the locals so that they can forget the corrupted beast appearance in the city.

But the Governors avoided touching a few important places. This included the underground tunnel. Instead of destroying the tunnel, they decided to send three teams.

A day later.

The mission came to an end. The three Governors once again appeared and thanked the Beast Taming Teams.

Hereafter, the Beast Tamers can go back to their organization and continue their missions in the wilderness.

The city officials will take care of the rest of the matter here. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Actually, the Governors were unwilling to end the mission. But pressure from Central University 5 and the Beast Taming Association forced them to change their decision.

They had got what they wanted in the end.

So, the Governors ended the mission.

...

Red Moon Chamber

Melinda and her team sighed in relief. They were worried that the mission would continue. But fortunately, they heard the good news.

The Governors didn’t make things difficult for them. Even the other major Beast Taming Forces wouldn’t target them on this matter.

They had caught criminals from the underground tunnel. It was a major breakthrough.

Even Head Harold was happy that the mission ended without any casualties. Now they can focus on missions in the wilderness.

They have many pending missions, so he ordered the Beast Taming Teams to split up to complete more missions.

Only in that way can they complete the missions faster.

...

In the room...

Jeremy Night was following his schedule. He got a call from Team Leader Melinda. He attended the call and learned that everyone was going to take on missions.

It was an order from Head Harold. Hearing that, he told her about his wish. He wanted to do a solo mission.

Melinda was surprised. She knew about the friction in the team. Nobody in the team had a good impression of Jeremy Night.

But she knew the strength of Jeremy Night. If they were to do missions together, the team would be a lot safer.

But she respected Jeremy Night’s wish, so she agreed to let him do his solo mission.

20 minutes later,

After getting ready, he left his room and went to the lobby. He then approached the staff and asked about the missions.

The staff all knew about Jeremy Night’s current strength. He was qualified to take a mission.

So, the staff showed him some of the Tier-3 missions on the screen.

Jeremy was happy that the staff didn’t make things difficult for him. He then quickly found a good solo mission. It was a simple plant and fruit gathering mission.

These plants are necessary for making medicinal liquids. His breathing method was related to healing, as well.

He showed interest in the mission. The staff didn’t reject it. The mission itself was for Tier-3 Beast Tamers.

These missions are specially arranged for them so that they can get familiar with the wilderness.

After selecting the mission, he found out there was no time limit. He can do the mission without any worry.
