He didn't mince them. He wanted the young man to shut his mouth so that he wouldn't blackmail them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Max, you are going too far. He wanted his share. That's all. I'm the one who promised to give him his share after the mission,\" Leader Norman said in a dissatisfied tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Max was taken aback. Then he realized he had spoken without knowing the situation. But he refused to accept his mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then said, \"So, what? We have already used our share. Are you going to pay him with your own money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Jeremy uttered in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew they had cheated him out of his money. His mood was getting worse. He was afraid that a fight could break out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Norman had black lines on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jeremy, I'll try to compensate you in the future. We have used the reward money,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Jeremy didn't know what to say. He was speechless. He saw a wide grin on Max's face. If I continue to stay here, then I'll lose my mind, he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he glanced at them before walking past. Then he started heading back towards his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max smiled brightly. Leader Norman didn't know what to say. He felt deeply disappointed in his heart. For the sake of team unity, he had to do this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he could only feel sorry for Jeremy Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think he will tell Head Harold?\" Max asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with a cold glint. Norman sensed the coldness. He was afraid that Max might take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't do anything to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He came here through an internal transfer. Head Harold will definitely take action if he finds out the truth,\" Norman said to him in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Max revealed a smile on his face, but he didn't respond to him. He then turned around and started going back to the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Norman frowned. He was afraid that Max could do something behind his back. He decided to watch over Jeremy Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy Night returned to his room. He was angry. He sat on the sofa and continued to recall the events. He had been so naive to believe them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had hoped to form better connections, but it didn't happen. He thought that they must have looked down on his background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when he recalled the smile on Max's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a bad feeling about it. He thought that sooner or later, they would cross paths again. Then he stood up and went to practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his current suffering was because of a lack of strength. If he were a Tier-3 Beast Tamer, he would be in the Beast Taming Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was alone. He decided to improve the situation. He entered the practice room and turned off the switch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The natural energy entered the room. He then went to the middle and sat cross-legged on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes and started running the breathing method. The natural energy entered his body and started circulating through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the natural energy went around his body, the energy cells began to absorb it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to repeat the process. Not long after, the unknown beast egg inside his mental zone began to vibrate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown beast egg began to absorb the natural energy in the room. Seeing that, he continued to repeat the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, the Beast Taming Teams were returning from the wilderness. One of the teams was none other than Melinda's Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know what was going on with Jeremy Night. Since Head Harold told him to practice, she thought he must be busy right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coming back to the organization, they went together and submitted the mission report. Then everyone parted ways and went back to their rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skull Gang Organization had surviving members. They were all waiting for orders from the higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the backer and the force behind the Skull Gang Organization had not been captured yet, they could hide and retaliate later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the news about the killings was spreading to other organizations as well, including the Beast Taming Families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Catherine Rosewood was at her house. She was in her room, following the updates of the Red Moon Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard the news, she was surprised. She didn't expect the Red Moon Chamber to have such strength. She had been thinking of ways to meet Jeremy Night again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of her plans was to join the Red Moon Chamber. But she was a Tier-2 Beast Tamer and a descendant of one of the Beast Taming Families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard to achieve this goal. But she knew that Beast Tamers from the Beast Taming Families had joined various organizations before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought her father would let her join the organization as well. But she couldn't ask him right now. She wanted to wait until she became a Tier-3 Beast Tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Jessie Boone heard the news as well. He wouldn't forget the name Red Moon Chamber. He was hearing bad news about them, so he was naturally happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that after that incident, Catherine never tried to meet Jeremy Night again. It made him sigh in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would have targeted both the young man and the Red Moon Chamber organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph,\" he snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that the Red Moon Chamber's people might have killed the Skull Gang Members. From the family elders, he knew a few things about illegal organizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their backers were terrifying people. Even their Beast Taming Family had to watch out for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes showed rare fear. There was a rumor that illegal organizations were run by people from the Human Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter was not public; it only circled around the top brass. Jessie wanted retaliation from the Skull Gang. He believed they would take action against the Red Moon Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doubted whether the kid from the 10th Zone could survive in that organization. If one illegal organization was attacked, the rest of them would come for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why no one did the crime-fighting missions. With a smile on his face, he returned to his work.\u003C\u002Fp>",1051,"2026-06-05T18:52:58.203Z",1,"novelbin.me","d647324006e5ae84e7095ed33ef379ed971e270fdb84b2f3247ded96ad8d0da5","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-856","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-855",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
