He began to get ready. He put on his uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was an official mission, he couldn’t wear comfortable clothes. After getting ready, he left the room. It didn’t take long for him to reach the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then saw a group of people. Senior Melinda was present among them as well. She was talking to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be her team,\" Jeremy thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he was not interested in meeting them. Joining the team was a formality, should the opportunity arise. He preferred to do missions alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then collected his thoughts and walked up to them with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he the one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is a newcomer. He is already a Tier-3 Beast Tamer. So the team leader was right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know what the Head is thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The members didn’t hide their thoughts. They were openly discussing whether the newcomer would be a burden for them or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda’s eyes sharpened. She said, \"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s Head Harold’s decision. If you guys have any problem, I can arrange for a meeting,\" she added in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the members became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me,\" Melinda said, turning toward Jeremy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded to her. Then the group left the building. It was not the right place to discuss the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stepping out, everyone entered the flying cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy entered one and found two more people entering the car with him. They didn’t make any comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, the four flying cars flew over the city. They were heading toward the City Lord’s office. The members then received a message from Melinda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy Night was shocked when he read it. He found out that the city office had asked them to gather as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reached the city office. The cars landed on the pad one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stepped out of the cars under the leadership of Melinda and entered the facility. The next second, they saw Beast Tamers from other organizations standing in line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda quickly found the city official and led the team toward him. The other Beast Tamers saw them as well. They were scrutinizing the strength of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy felt their gazes, but he didn’t react. As a Tier-3 Beast Tamer, he felt their gazes were filled with probing curiosity rather than hatred or malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team arrived in front of the official, a middle-aged man. Melinda showed her badge and began speaking to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The official took out his device and checked the database. The names matched the people who had arrived. He then told them to pick a spot and stand quietly. The city office was surrounded by empty land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda and the team members quickly found a place to stand in line. Jeremy swept his gaze across the other teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated there were at least 30 teams. It meant every Beast Taming organization in the city had sent at least one team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the other teams looked tense and nervous. Their expressions didn’t go unnoticed by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It appears everyone has the same fear,\" Jeremy thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the forces in the city were ready to offend the criminal organization. Jeremy sighed inwardly. He had seen other cities; they had problems with corrupted beasts and a polluted environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But here, criminals were a greater threat than the corrupted beasts, even though the beasts attacked the city gates frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head and began to wait quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda told her team members to stay calm. She then noticed Jeremy Night. She wanted to introduce her team to him, but the timing and place weren’t right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her team, there were three Tier-5 Beast Tamers, including herself. Then there were four Tier-4 Beast Tamers and three Tier-3 Beast Tamers, including Jeremy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had heard about Jeremy Night’s prowess from Head Harold, so she believed his strength was greater than the other two Tier-3 members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda walked up to the two Tier-3 Beast Tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Theo and Freya, you guys have to stay near Jeremy Night and give him assistance,\" Melinda said in a calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Freya was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freya was a Tier-3, 8th Rank Beast Tamer. She was a middle-aged woman with thick black hair and eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin tone was fair, and she stood 6 feet tall. At the moment, she was confused as to why they needed to provide assistance to the newcomer. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo was doubtful as well. He was a Tier-3, 7th Rank Beast Tamer, the strongest next to Freya. He was a middle-aged man with a heavy-built physique, tan skin, and brown eyes and hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda saw that they were unconvinced and noticed that others were watching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the leader here. Follow my orders,\" Melinda said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then turned toward Jeremy Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"Jeremy, if they face a problem, lend them a hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Jeremy replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo and Freya exchanged looks. Both of them were angry, feeling that the team leader had insulted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seniors in the group didn’t know what was going on with the leader. They didn’t say anything, but their gazes toward the newcomer turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their reactions, it was evident they were not going to help him. However, they didn’t know that Jeremy Night didn’t need their help at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only he could save them in times of crisis, including Team Leader Melinda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy was used to their gazes. He had been watching the conversation and felt no threat from the Tier-3 Beast Tamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Sister Melinda had spoken, he would help them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar conversations were happening everywhere. The teams of the major forces had decided to carry out the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t fool the eyes of the city governors. The higher-ups knew that the governors wanted the involvement of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they told their team to do the mission. No one should back away from the mission. If they do, then the governors could take action against them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-05T18:52:58.203Z",1,"novelbin.me","1cb8ed28b3860dc8b7433dd4e240c959ec5ae7a8ea203777c4d533955167569b","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-683","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-681",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
