He was being chased by Darkshade members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, the Head of the Hill Family was after his life as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these circumstances, there was no way he could convince Head Harold to let him venture into the wilderness alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harold saw that the kid was giving it some serious thought. To be honest, he didn’t want this kid to enter the wilderness at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was another reason. It was Melinda; the death of the team members had taken a toll on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that day, she hadn’t entered the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy gave it a thought. He decided to do a team mission this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I will do it,\" Jeremy said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" Harold uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he phoned Melinda right away. Melinda answered the call. Harold talked about doing a mission with Jeremy Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda heard him out. There was silence on the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda knew what Head Harold was trying to do. It was time for her to get up and start acting normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been grieving for too long. It was also a surprise to her that Jeremy had decided to do a team mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought it must be because of Head Harold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I agree. But I have to check on Freya and Theo. I’m not sure whether they are ready or not,\" she replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you guys are enough,\" Harold said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that if something happened to the team, then Theo and Freya would suffer first. He didn’t want them dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believes Jeremy Night and Melinda can solve the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys can come and see me tomorrow morning. I’ll have a special mission ready for you,\" Harold said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" Melinda replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy heard that as well. Since Theo and Freya were not coming, it was also good news for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then thanked Head Harold before leaving the office room. After coming out of the office, he once again let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was glad that he was at least able to convince him of the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Head Harold’s expression turned serious. Even though he didn’t like sending them to the wilderness, he didn’t have another choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t always be defensive. If Robert Hill doesn’t change his ways, then he will have to be aggressive as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harold then called Elder Stephen to his room. There was a reason why he had given them time until morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Stephen came to see him. He greeted Harold and sat down opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head,\" Stephen uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to give a mission to Melinda. Jeremy Night will be joining her as well,\" Harold said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Stephen uttered in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was taken aback, because he knew the dangers surrounding the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head, the Darkshade people will definitely target the young man. Now, Melinda will be caught in the line of fire as well,\" Stephen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the two of them are surrounded by professional killers, then they won’t escape alive,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Head Harold must have thought about it. The Darkshade members are professional killers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harold said, \"That’s why I have called you here. I am planning to send a few elders to a prepared location. I’m sure they won’t send Tier-7 Beast Tamers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Darkshade members try to do something, then the elders will take care of it,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Stephen’s eyes gleamed with a twinkle. He now understood what Head Harold was trying to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elders are Tier-7 Beast Tamers. But one of them is enough to hold them back. Why do we need to send more?\" Stephen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stephen, what happened to you?\" Harold asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you forget that Robert Hill is after Jeremy Night’s life?\" Harold asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Stephen realized his mistake. He was careless. The real headache was the Beast Taming Hill Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Head of their family was really after the young man’s life. But he is a Tier-8 Beast Tamer. A terrible idea came to his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head, but that person is a Tier-8 Beast Tamer,\" Stephen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to keep an eye on him. I won’t let him enter the wilderness. So don’t worry about it. Right now, we have to pick a location.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that these two can do missions peacefully,\" Harold said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stephen then thought of something and said, \"There is a Deadly Ridge close to the border.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the corrupted beasts avoid the place because of the terrain. Some dangerous plants are growing there. That’s why it is called Deadly Ridge,\" Stephen added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deadly Ridge,\" Harold thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew it was one of the most dangerous places in the wilderness. If one was not careful, they would face death because of the poisonous plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought the place was a good location for the mission. Melinda is a knowledgeable person. She can protect Jeremy Night there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harold then looked towards Stephen and said, \"Your idea is good. The Deadly Ridge is a good location. Let them explore the place as a special mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stephen nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harold acted. He immediately called three elders. They are Tier-7 Beast Tamers. Their job is to protect Jeremy Night, Melinda, and other Beast Tamers in the vicinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harold didn’t explain about the Darkshade members. He thought it was best for fewer people to know. Instead, he said the beast tide was over recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to be careful. If any higher-tier beasts crossed the border, it would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting ready, Jeremy Night left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he came down to the lobby, he came across Melinda, who looked alright. But there was less enthusiasm on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Sister, how are you?\" Jeremy asked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Melinda raised her head and saw Jeremy Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled and said, \"It’s really surprising that you have agreed to do a team mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Jeremy found out that her mood was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, it’s not me. Head Harold wanted it this way,\" Jeremy replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew it,\" Melinda replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go to him,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Jeremy nodded to her. Then they started walking towards Head Harold’s office. They were silent on the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeremy didn’t know what to talk about. The loss of members was no small matter. He didn’t want to recall that.\u003C\u002Fp>",1074,"2026-06-05T18:52:59.854Z",1,"novelbin.me","70c860b7e4eaac502e9b693873a21f75e2f75b4ff1afd65d3a9bd95d23851399","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-817","striker-independent-beast-tamer-chapter-815",881,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstriker-independent-beast-tamer-cover.jpg"]
