STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 275: Cancellation & Clinging to grudge!
Central University 14:
The following day,
Jeremy sits on the sofa after getting ready. He has decided not to go out. He then takes out the digital device to browse online news.
He wants to see whether anything has been reported about the Red Squad Team. Many articles appear on the news feed. He begins to go through them one by one.
About 10 minutes later,
His tense eyebrows relax. There is no news about the Red Squad Team this morning. He thinks that the higher-ups of the Red Squad Team have yet to confirm their death.
Right now, they must be thinking one of their team went missing in the wilderness. If they hadn't returned to the city after a long time, then the mission case will become a death case.
He thinks it will be a matter of time before the Red Squad Team confirms their death. If the news media learns about this case, their reporting could damage the reputation of the Red Squad Team.
Jeremy is expecting them to send another team to investigate. He hopes that his father won't have a hard time. Besides, there are also two other City Governors.
He believes the possibility of the worst-case scenario is low.
Outside,
Everyone is discussing Jeremy Night's absurd condition. The impression of Jeremy Night hits rock bottom overnight. Earlier, everyone used to be afraid of him because of his strength.
Now many have started to think that May Lindsey and Victor Scott's S-Grade Talent is beginning to play. Jeremy Night had an initial start greater than others, but he is just an A-Grade Talent.
He can't compare to the two S-Graders.
...
Red Squad Team:
Manager Alex has finally lost his patience. He hasn't been able to confirm the status of the missing team. He has decided to inform the founders. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
He quickly sends them a message one by one. It doesn't take long for him to get a reply. Currently, they are busy with their personal matters.
But they are clearly angered by the news. They don't know whether any Tier-6 Beast has found and killed them. So they don't want to take any risks without knowing anything.
They ordered Manager Alex to keep the information for the time being. It will be discussed when they return. The information has brought peace of mind to him.
He had thought they would blame him. Instead, they blamed it on the Tier-6 Corrupted Beasts. Even he began to realize that the possibility of them being killed by a Tier-6 Beast is higher.
So he ruled out other possibilities in his mind. He didn't know that one of their team was actually eliminated by a Tier-1 Beast Tamer.
Manager Alex then canceled the mission to find the Iron-winged Panther's cub. If he sends another team, it's similar to sending them to their death.
Meanwhile,
Another team of the Red Squad is waiting patiently. They have picked up the underground network task, but they haven't been able to complete it because the target is yet to leave Central University 14.
They have been thinking of a way to lure out the target but have failed to come up with a plan. The underground mission is something they can't discuss with their peers.
If this goes on, the customer could raise a flag. If that happens, then the Underground Network would cancel their mission before returning the status as an available mission.
Just as they were thinking about it, they received an anonymous message from the underground network. It was about their mission's cancellation.
After reading the message, their faces changed drastically. Their worst fear has come true. The underground network has canceled their job.
...
Meanwhile,
The 3rd-year student, Timothy's father, Simon, raised a complaint in the underground network. It's been some time since he posted the mission. Yet there was no result whatsoever.
He is extremely dissatisfied. He thinks someone must have accepted the mission on a whim. They are delaying it. He hopes someone else will accept the mission.
From his son, he learned that a kid named Jeremy Night is having a hard time at the university. To think the son of a City Governor is facing difficulties, he is pleased.
...
Time passed,
The news of Jeremy Night's condition has reached the ears of the higher-ups of the Lindsey and Scott Families. Like everyone else, they think the kid is avoiding the duel for face-saving.
Even their family beast tamers can't defeat a Tier-4 Corrupted Beast at the Tier-1 level. It was already amazing for May Lindsey and Victor Scott to have defeated a Tier-3 Corrupted Beast before that.
So this condition was not possible for any Tier-1 Beast Tamer to achieve. Unlike Central University 14, these two families are not willing to let go.
Last time, May Lindsey and Victor Scott were both overshadowed by an A-Grade Talent, Jeremy Night. If not for Jeremy's background and the Dean's support, they would have targeted him long ago.
This time, both families want to establish May Lindsey and Victor Scott's prestige. It can only happen by defeating the previous winner.
They have to defeat Jeremy Night to establish their status as the strongest beast tamers in the first year. Then everyone would realize the power of S-Grade Talent.
The two families immediately informed May Lindsey and Victor Scott. They don't care about the means. All they want is for the challenge duel to happen so they can win in front of everyone.
...
Central University 14:
May Lindsey, who was in her class, felt a headache after receiving the news from the family. She found Jeremy's attitude to be straightforward. He won't agree unless they can defeat a Tier-4 Corrupted Beast.
May Lindsey shakes her head. She has decided to ask Jeremy Night again sometime later because she has seen a negative campaign against him online. She was not part of this, yet things are happening beyond her control.
Some people want to take advantage of the situation to get back at Jeremy Night. So she decides to meet him when things cool down later.
