STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

City Gate:

The old man’s mumbling was heard by the other elders. Before the 5th Elder could speak, the 4th Elder, who had red hair, spoke.

”Let’s ask them!”

After saying that, the 4th Elder went to ask the injured people. The 1st Elder was an old man who squinted his eyes. The Outer Circle Council has no real power.

So he thinks it’s unwise to enter this mess. The 5th Elder understood this as well. She furrowed her eyebrows. The 2nd Elder is another old man with black hair. He is a few years younger than the 1st Elder.

The 3rd Elder is an old woman. She is watching everything in silence. She was dressed in Heath Family Elder attire.

They were all looking in the direction of the 4th Elder.

”Tell me what happened?” the 4th Elder asked. He was someone who wanted to gain a reputation and climb up the ladder in the family power structure.

He had long wanted to enter the Inner Circle. But the Inner Circle was full of old people. He didn’t want to get sick and old before getting into the Inner Circle.

Right now, he saw an opportunity.

One of the Heath Family Beast Tamers recognized him. His eyes shone bright.

He said, ”4th Elder, this is what happened....”

About 10 minutes later,

”What?” The face of the 4th Elder changed drastically. He couldn’t believe that their family’s young miss could be so foolish. She had been completely fooled by a first-year brat.

”Are you telling the truth?” he asked.

The Beast Tamer hesitated before nodding his head fiercely. The people around him knew the truth, but no one dared to expose it.

Because if they exposed the matter, then they themselves would receive punishment from the family. Some of them exchanged glances and felt fortunate that Miss Violet was not there.

If she had been there, she would obviously support Jeremy Night.

Not far away, the University Beast Tamers team saw the whole incident. They were planning to inform Dean Carolyn.

”What if he provides the recorded video?” one of them said.

”I don’t think that’s true. He must have been bluffing at that time.”

”Whatever!”

”We should inform Dean Carolyn so that we can escape from the punishment.”

They quickly united and prepared to speak against Jeremy Night.

The 4th Elder’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.

”Where is he?” he asked.

”Jeremy Night has already left,” the Beast Tamer said.

”No wonder,” the 4th Elder’s eyes flickered.

At the same time, the other Outer Circle Elders listened to the conversation as well. They felt anger as well.

Only the 5th Elder remained neutral despite feeling angry.

”Don’t jump to conclusions.”

”Miss told us not to trust these people,” the 5th Elder said.

”Hmmm, how could they be wrong? Everyone is speaking in one voice. Even the University Beast Tamers are staying silent.”

The 2nd Elder spoke for the first time.

”There are ways to learn the truth. Let’s get them back to the family first,” the 1st Elder said.

Hearing that, others agreed because they too felt it was unwise to stay there, especially since the reporters had yet to arrive. They wanted to leave before their arrival.

...

Heath Family:

Violet Heath and Vivian returned to the family.

”Miss, it will be sunrise soon. You should get some rest first. You can speak to the Family Head later,” Vivian suggested.

Violet furrowed her eyebrows.

She said, ”I’m afraid these people will falsely accuse Jeremy Night, so I need to inform my dad at least.”

After saying that, she rushed out to find her father. Surprisingly, she learned from the butler that her father was out of the city right now. She thought it was bad timing.

Vivian, following her, was shocked as well. She had no doubt those people would shamelessly accuse Jeremy Night. Earlier, she had not been different from them.

But after learning about Jeremy Night’s unusual identity, she cut off her negative thoughts. She knew that offending the wrong person would invite calamity to the family.

Violet was not happy. She decided to meet the Main Elders. But the Main Elders were all in retreat. No one was allowed to disturb them except the family head.

Violet bit her lips. She had no choice but to wait until morning.

Her expression didn’t go unnoticed. Vivian’s eyes flickered. She knew if Miss hadn’t explained to her, she would have attacked Jeremy Night at that time.

She felt a chill thinking about it. Now the same mistake might happen.

”Miss, why don’t you inform Dean Carolyn first?” Vivian suggested.

Hearing that, Violet’s eyes lit up.

”It’s a good idea, Vivian,” she said before returning to her room.

Then she recorded a video message describing the whole situation before sending it to Dean Carolyn. She knew Dean Carolyn very well.

She wouldn’t believe just one side’s argument. She would investigate first. But she was not afraid. The exploration mission was something beyond their capabilities.

It was a miracle for all of them to survive.

Guardian Vivian left. She then went to sleep.

...

Jeremy Night was in his room doing the same thing. He was recording a video message as well. But the information was from his perspective.

He was talking about everything, including the strange environment where the natural energy was abundant and pure.

He noted that the average strength of corrupted beasts was stronger than the beasts roaming outside. Because of this, he had to give his all to kill the beasts.

Then he mentioned the Black Lake. He didn’t hide anything. He spoke about how that place was creepy. He couldn’t see the end of that lake. Then he recounted his encounter with the hybrid crocodile.

More importantly, he didn’t forget to mention the hostility in the team, where both the Heath Family Beast Tamers and the University Beast Tamers were against him from the beginning.

They forced him to explore the Black Lake. Because of their large-scale investigation, the terrible beasts hiding in the Black Lake were disturbed.

They launched a surprise attack, killing half of them on the spot. Jeremy didn’t lie about his escape either. He said it was impossible for him to save everything with Tier-1 power.

A few minutes later,

He was done recording and sent it to Dean Carolyn.
