STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 72: Feeling suspicious

Jeremy Night and others exited the city through the gate. Robin and Rudi looked at each other. Robin nodded his head to him in assurance.

Rudi was of two minds. He was not sure whether Robin would be able to succeed in his plan. He didn’t want anyone to trace it back to him.

Jeremy Night was walking forward. The other Beast Tamers were walking side by side. It was the open wilderness. Wherever their eyes swept across, they could only see open vast land with vegetation.

Jeremy’s excitement was still not over. He still hadn’t inquired about their mission location. If the mission was to hunt and kill the Corrupted Beasts, then they would have already marked the place.

He then turned towards Robin for answers. He saw Robin and Rudi talking to each other. Jeremy shook his head and decided to see what everyone was up to.

As time passed, everyone was moving in one direction. Jeremy’s eyes flickered. He could tell that everyone had a destination in their mind, but no one was telling him.

Finally, Jeremy found something suspicious. Either they were purposely avoiding him, or it was just a coincidence.

Robin was aware that Jeremy was looking at him. He had already informed the second years. They must be waiting for them.

Their job was to lead Jeremy Night to the second year. Then they could leave the place. So he didn’t want to inform Jeremy Night just yet.

Time passed,

Everyone was moving in a straight direction. All the Beast Tamers were talking and laughing while moving forward. Jeremy Night noticed something important.

Everyone was laughing and talking, but no one was serious. This was open wilderness. At any point, any Corrupted Beast could sneak up on them.

"What’s going on?" Jeremy asked in his mind.

He looked at Robin and Rudi again. For some reason, Robin was avoiding his gaze. Not long ago, he was so talkative.

Jeremy tried to contact Rudi. But Rudi was walking side by side with Robin. He couldn’t even get a chance to speak to him. As seconds went by, he further noticed that everyone was keeping a distance from him.

Now, Jeremy thought that it was not a coincidence. It was like some tactical understanding between the others. There was something going on. Others knew it, but he didn’t.

Jeremy’s eyes flickered. He took out the Black Katana from the storage ring and held it tightly in his right hand.

Seeing that, others were startled. The gap widened further.

Tud!

Jeremy Night paused his footsteps and stopped moving along with the others.

Robin, Rudi, and the other Beast Tamers noticed it. Some of their faces turned ugly. Rudi’s expression turned dark.

Robin still showed a neutral expression, but he was surprised in his heart. He didn’t expect Jeremy Night to notice anything.

They had been executing the plan well from the very beginning. Now they were a short distance away from the meeting point.

The second-year students must be waiting for them there.

Seeing that Jeremy was staying on the same spot and refusing to come along with them, Jeremy Night decided to convince him to walk further for a few minutes.

Then not only he but they would also be able to relax.

"Jeremy, what happened?" Robin asked.

"I’m the one who is supposed to be asking you guys this question," Jeremy Night replied in normal tones, looking at the others.

The expressions of everyone changed. Jeremy Night noticed that they no longer had any friendly gazes. They must have another intention behind inviting him to join their mission.

"You have misunderstood us. There is a meeting point ahead. We will take a rest there and discuss the mission," Robin lied.

This time something happened to Jeremy. It was like something had awakened inside him. He did not believe everything, especially not taking their words directly.

Since he suspected something was wrong, he didn’t want to tag along with them anymore.

"No, I’m not joining you guys. I have some other work to do. I’ll be leaving." After saying that, he turned around to leave.

"Wait!"

Robin lost his cool. His good-guy expression faded away. Now he looked angry and cold.

"Jeremy, you can’t do this at the last minute," Robin said.

"I don’t care; I’m leaving," Jeremy Night said without turning back. He was still carrying the black katana in his right hand. But in reality, Jeremy Night was testing them.

If they weren’t doing anything wrong or planning anything wrong, then they wouldn’t mind him leaving. But that was not the case with them.

"Some of you go ahead and inform the second years. The rest of us will stop him," Robin said to the others in a loud tone.

Hearing that, a group of people quickly left. The rest of them summoned their lifeline beasts and tried to surround Jeremy Night.

This all happened within minutes.

Jeremy Night’s eyes turned cold. He understood that this was some kind of setup and that he had been successfully lured here. Intense anger flared up in his heart.

He thought that first years wouldn’t have such strength. Now hearing that the second years had something to do with them, he couldn’t help but feel confused.

"So the second years are behind them. But why?" Jeremy Night asked in his mind.

Jeremy saw that everyone who had surrounded him was looking at him with hostility, including Robin and Rudi. Jeremy didn’t want to hurt them.

For him, they were just weak Beast Tamers. The lifeline beasts summoned by them are not strong. It’s difficult to fight against him because he was stronger than the lifeline beasts.

Jeremy forcibly broke the circle using the katana blade. The blade’s power immediately sent first years backward. This also created an opening in the encirclement.

Swoosh!

Jeremy Night used the narrow gap to escape from the encircling. At the same time, Jeremy Night was spotted running without looking back.

Robin and Rudi looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces. The place where Jeremy was heading was not a safe place either.

There were vicious Corrupted Beasts living there.
