STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

Reed Family:

Audrey Reed told her father about Jeremy Night. Her father's name is Dante Reed. Dante Reed was surprised. He knows about Jeremy Night as well.

Jeremy Night is a famous name. He, too, had heard about the genius list. But he didn't expect her daughter to make friends with the kid.

After having dinner, his daughter went back to his room. But he couldn't stop thinking about what his daughter had told him.

Dante Reed's eyes flash with a gleam.

"A Tier-2 Beast Tamer did a solo mission in the inner part of the wilderness," He said to himself.

He refuses to believe that Jeremy Night hadn't faced corrupted beasts there. The Tier-5 Corrupted Beasts are large in numbers and can be seen there.

He had also heard that Jeremy Night had collected the Special healing herb. He knows that the special healing herb was not easy to find, either.

Such natural treasures are often protected by the beasts. So he assumed Jeremy Night had hidden things from his daughter. He became curious about this kid.

Before leaving, his daughter made a request. She wanted to open the Field Area for three days for Jeremy Night. He knows the deal between them.

Though the days were extended by 2. But he didn't mind. He is now interested in knowing this kid. He has this feeling that their family would benefit from maintaining connections.

So he had agreed to his daughter's request earlier.

But he didn't mention which day it would be. Because it would take time for the arrangements. When the things are ready, he will ask his daughter to call Jeremy Night.

Then he collected his thoughts before going to bed.

...

Shadow Moon Organisation:

The following day,

Jeremy Night wakes up to huge breaking news in the morning. He was casually browsing the news. But he didn't expect such a big incident to happen at night.

The breaking news is about the flying ant beasts. They have attacked many Mercenary teams that were coming and going from the place.

The Mercenary Teams were all attacked brutally. There were casualties reported as well. Now the whole City A is tense.

The locals were worried about the Flying Ant Beasts' attack. Because the flying ant beasts take them back to the bad memory lane.

Because the City A of the 10th zone had faced a flying ant beast attack before. At that time, many casualties had occurred.

Jeremy only read a few headlines. But he realised that the situation was bad. Because he had personally faced the flying ant beasts.

At that time, he thought it was his good luck that he had escaped that day. The flying ant beasts went to their colony on that day.

Jeremy then collected his thoughts. He closed the device before going to the bathroom to take a shower.

The bath lasted for 20 minutes.

Then he stepped out of the bath and changed to fresh clothes. After getting ready, he exited the room and went to the lobby.

Jeremy didn't even practise today. Because the flying ant beasts' news has changed his mind. When he came to the lobby, he saw Captain Sinag and others.

Seeing them, he walks up to them. They were all sitting on their chairs and sofa. Upon seeing Jeremy Night, the female beast tamers greeted them.

But the male members simply nodded their heads to Jeremy Night. They weren't interested in talking to Jeremy Night.

"Jeremy, sit," Sinag said.

Hearing that Jeremy sat on the nearby chair. Fredric and others were discussing the Flying Ant beasts.

"Did you see the news?" Sing asked.

Hearing that he turned towards Sinag and nodded to her.

"You should be ready. We can be called back anytime for the mission," Sinag said.

"What is he doing?"

"He is weak. Tier-2 Beast Tamer won't be helpful to anyone. He is a drag. I don't know why he is in our team," Fredric said all of a sudden.

His real self spoke today. But the faces of others change drastically. They didn't expect Fredric to still be adamant about the recruitment of the new member.

Albert frowned. He doesn't like the newcomer either. But it doesn't mean that you can deliberately create a problem for the newcomer.

George and Cedric remained silent as usual. They didn't have much of an opinion to begin with. They were just following the rules.

Sinag and others felt bad. Sinag doesn't want any friction inside the team. She knew how dangerous it could be.

She can tell that Fredric is speaking from a point of ignorance. If he had seen Jeremy's strength in person, he wouldn't dare to speak like this now.

Sinag then said, "Fredric, it's the last warning for you. If you do this next time, then I'll inform Leader Gisela. You are creating an unnecessary problem."

Her voice sounded harsh. The male members felt hurt. Fredric was pissed off.

"Am I causing problems?"

"Did you forget the murder of the previous member?"

"We need stronger members. Only then will the team be safe. I don't know why leader Gisela brought this outsider here," Fredric bursts out.

His voice was loud enough that it was heard by others as well. Including the staff inside the office. Some of the staff walked out and looked towards them.

So do the other members who were walking by. Everyone paused their footsteps and looked at the 3rd squad members.

Everyone understood that it was an infighting.

Fredric saw others' reactions as well. He closed his mouth and sat back in his seat. Sinag was in a bad mood. Fredric is being unreasonable.

He doesn't know that it's because of Jeremy Night that she and Ada were alive. She wanted to tell him about it. Then she found a stern gaze from Jeremy Night.

She then sighed inwardly. She understood that Jeremy doesn't want to expose his strength. Ada saw this as well. She is feeling helpless as well.

The topic of the previous member was a sad one. No one forgot that. But right now they have more pressing matters.

Jeremy Night didn't care about it. He is now thinking about the flying ant beasts. Because there is a possibility of a beast's invasion.

He had experienced one. So he knows how dangerous it can be. He wanted to contribute more and earn respect from members and others in the organisation.

Then he thinks everyone would have a favourable opinion towards him.

The staff and other members resumed their walking. But the staff quickly reported to Leader Gisela. Something is going on with the 3rd Squad.

The staff felt it necessary to report to their Team Leader.

Meanwhile,

Team Leader Gisela, who was in her office, was troubled by the news as well. Because she had reported the news to Head Neil earlier.

But Head Neil told her that the City administration didn't believe their reports. Not long ago, the Sand Blood Team went missing as well.

Later, it was found that Flying Ant Beasts were responsible for their disappearance. Now this breaking news has come. She is feeling worse.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Gisela receives the call.

Hearing that Gisela attended the call. Then she hears that it's one of the staff. She told her about the 3rd Squad. Her expression changes.

She knew some members didn't like Jeremy Night. She thought things would change over time. But it appears that she needs to talk to them.

She then thanked the staff before ending the call. She called Sinag immediately. When Sinag attended the call. She was surprised.

Because she was still sitting with members in the lobby. Seeing her expression, others became silent as well.

Gisela told her to come to her office with everyone.

Sinag's heart skips a beat. She understood that someone had told the Leader about them. Sinag then agrees to come.

Gisela then ended the call.

Sinag then turned towards others.

She said, "The Leader has summoned us. Let's go."

Hearing that the faces of others change drastically. Fredric's face turned dark. He was the one who caused the ruckus earlier.

Everyone had watched it as well. He thinks someone must have reported to the leader. Not only he, but others were having the same thought as well.

Since the Leader has summoned them. They had no choice other than to leave. Then everyone got up from their seats and started going towards Leader Gisela's office.

Soon, they reached the leader's office.

Creak!

After opening the door, they walked inside.

Jeremy knew Leader Gisela was going to scold everyone. The male members are especially going to hear harsh scolding from her.

The female members sat in their seats. The male members sat in the chairs as well. Those who didn't have seats stood behind them.

Jeremy is one of them. Others were Sinag and Ada.

Seeing that Jeremy Night was stunned. From this alone, he can tell who cares more about the team. Others are self-centred.

Gisela noticed it as well. She sighed inwardly.
