STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 679: Bleak future!

5th Zone, City A

Jeremy returned to the organization quietly. He didn’t think much about the killing. He believed that the killers were from some criminal organization as well.

He had not seen anyone nearby during the fight, so no one knew about him.

He then collected his thoughts and returned to his room.

The following day,

He woke up early and did his morning routine. He entered the practice room an hour later and flipped the switch.

Natural energy started entering the room from the inlet. In the blink of an eye, the natural energy filled the room.

He walked into the middle of the room and sat cross-legged on the floor. He closed his eyes and started running the inner healing method.

Then, white-colored mists got closer to his body. Next, the natural energy entered his body and started circulating inside.

As the natural energy flowed through his veins and inner organs, the cells began to absorb it.

Seeing that the cells were greedily absorbing the natural energy, he felt satisfied.

Not long after, the unknown beast egg inside the mental zone activated. It started to absorb the natural energy from the room.

Jeremy Night continued to repeat the process.

Two hours later,

Jeremy ended the practice and walked out of the room. He then went to the bathroom and spent 20 minutes in the bath.

Then, he walked out and changed into comfortable clothes. He sat down on the sofa, took his device, and began to watch the online news.

He wanted to know whether any news about the killers was published. To his surprise, the news feed was filled with the corrupted beast’s appearance in the city. The matter had still not died down.

As time went by, he continued to read the articles. Soon, his eyes caught some interesting news. It was about the disappearance of the criminal gangs in the city.

Many neighborhoods soon found out that thugs who had been menacing their streets had disappeared all of a sudden.

It had not occurred in just one part of the city, but all over. Especially after the appearance of the higher-tier corrupted beasts.

Seeing that, Jeremy could connect some dots. He thought someone might have taken action against them.

He believed that, other than the City Office, no one would attack the criminal organization under the current circumstances.

His eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He stopped reading the news articles. Instead, he started looking for attack ideas.

His starlight power had transformed. He could separate a single thread of layer from the solid starlight power.

He had numerous ideas about how to use a single thread of the starlight power, so he was now looking for new ideas related to it.

He found a small community online where they discussed different talent abilities. He specifically searched for the word "Threads."

Soon, he found information on spider-type corrupted beasts. Jeremy was taken aback. He did not expect the forum to be discussing the beasts’ abilities as well.

His curiosity was piqued, so he became completely engrossed in reading the posts. Maybe he could get some benefits from these online posts.

...

Office

Head Harold was reading the daily reports. They were collected by spies, so most of the information was accurate.

Rarely were mistakes reported. He found out that attacks on the Red Moon Chamber members had reduced.

It brought him great relief. Then, he continued to read the report.

There were no targeted casualties reported in the wilderness, but Harold knew the matter was not over.

The city officials might be taking action now.

The criminal organization members could be hiding low-key right now. He decided to warn the members to be careful.

He thought that once the matter was settled, the Skull Gang members could target them again. But he was not going to let that happen.

He had already discussed this with Head Neil Moon.

If they targeted them again, then both of them would take action. Even the City Governors wouldn’t have a reason to stop them.

Meanwhile,

The members were still not ready to go to the wilderness. They wanted the commotion to settle down.

But the members who were from the Beast Taming Families had started taking missions from the Beast Taming Association directory wearing their family uniforms.

In this way, they could continue to earn money, but nobody would target them because of their Red Moon Chamber identity.

This matter couldn’t be hidden from other members and elders. Those without a background were truly helpless. They had started to regret their decision to join the Red Moon Chamber.

If they had acted privately, even the identity of the Beast Taming Association would have been enough to scare the criminals.

But the 48th team had invited calamity by poking a hornet’s nest. All the criminal organizations had united to avenge the Skull Gang members.

They had made an example out of the Red Moon Chamber. Hereafter, no one would take up crime-fighting missions.

Even the somewhat strong Beast Taming Families had warned their descendants not to select such missions.

Once they incurred the wrath of the criminal organization, it would be the end of their lineage.

On the other hand, Melinda thought about Jeremy Night from time to time. She had been trying to meet him in the lobby, but she later found out that Jeremy Night never left his room.

Everyone thought that the current situation had scared him. Even strong beast tamers were targeted by the criminals and died.

In their opinion, the newcomer must be thinking about going back to the 10th Zone.

But no one made fun of it. Even their native members showed signs of resigning.

Once the dust settled, there would be a mass resignation. One that would definitely shake the foundation of the organization.

Unless their head reached the level of Tier-9, so that he could withstand the pressure of the backer behind the criminal organization, or they joined some other big force.

Everyone was waiting for things to take their turn. Until then they have to watch and wait.
