STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer
Chapter 450: Assigned to City C (10th Zone)
CHAPTER 450: ASSIGNED TO CITY C (10TH ZONE)
City A (10th Zone)
Jeremy returned to his room to do his daily training. He didn’t meet with others. He did receive a message from Captain Sinag, but he ignored it.
He entered the practice room and started his blade training. He was using the incomplete blade technique.
Time passed,
Many beast tamers gave their names for the volunteer task in their respective organisations.
But there were organisations still considering whether to send out their Beast Tamers or not.
Some of the Beast Taming Organisations had suffered in the recent Beast Invasion. They had lost manpower.
They couldn’t afford to send the remaining Beast Tamers to fight. Among them, the Sun Wheel Organisation was discussing this matter.
Head Frank once again summoned Paul and Todd to his office. It didn’t take long for them to come. Like yesterday, they sat in the chairs and turned towards Head Frank.
"What do you guys think about the new notification?" Head Frank asked.
Paul and Todd already knew about this Volunteer Task because they had also received the notification from the office.
"We can’t send our members. We are still not clear about the wilderness situation. The City Governors didn’t explain things clearly," Paul said in a solemn tone.
"I think they don’t know either. That’s why it’s a Volunteer Task. If they knew there was a certain danger, they wouldn’t be asking for permission," Todd added.
Head Frank silently listened to both of their opinions, but he had something else on his mind.
He was waiting for an opportunity to weaken the Shadow Moon Organisation.
He thought this was the right opportunity. Eliminating threats in other cities was far better than doing it here in the wilderness.
He then looked at both of them and said, "I’ve got something else in mind. Let’s use this opportunity to reduce the strength of our rival organisations."
"By using this Volunteer Task, we should target not only the Shadow Moon Organisation, but others as well," he added.
Both Paul and Todd were stunned. They hadn’t expected Head Frank to come up with this idea. They realised he was serious about targeting the rival organisations.
"Head, it’s a good idea. We can use this opportunity. But we should employ outside hands as well. Our members won’t be enough to complete the task," Paul said.
Hearing that, Elder Todd agreed. Head Frank decided to execute the plan. He then asked them to prepare a target list.
Elder Paul and Todd left. Soon, they made a list of targets. The targets included members from rival organisations, including the Shadow Moon Organisation.
At the front of the list was Jeremy Night. Both Elders had heard the name. A new talent who had recently joined the Shadow Moon Organisation. They made him a target as well.
Soon, they brought the list to Head Frank. He went through it and saw that the names of many genius beast tamers were included.
He thought that if they managed to eliminate the people on the list, the strength of rival organisations would be drastically reduced.
He then gave them the green signal. They could start hiring professional killers to do the job.
Meanwhile,
There were Beast Taming Families who had the same idea of weakening their rivals. They too began similar work.
Unity had lasted only until the Beast Invasion ended. Once it was over, everyone started thinking only of themselves.
Even City Governors Marcos, Enzo, and Leonor hadn’t expected this situation. They were still expecting cooperation.
Time passed,
The three City Governors received quite a number of volunteer lists from several Beast Taming Forces. They were happy that people had responded.
Now they could start assigning tasks. They quickly shared the lists with the City Administration officials.
Once the tasks were assigned, the Beast Tamers could start leaving. City Governor Marcos also informed other cities so their governors would be ready to welcome the volunteers.
Time passed,
By evening, the Beast Tamers in the City received their tasks and locations. They were asked to depart right away so that the officials in the receiving City could make arrangements.

Shadow Moon Organisation
Jeremy Night was in his room when he received the task and location. He opened the message and his eyes flashed with surprise.
He was asked to go to City C in the 10th Zone. His task was to join one of the patrol teams there. Once the wilderness entry ban was lifted, he could return to the city.
After reading the message, he set the device aside. It mentioned that he should depart immediately.
So he got out of bed and began to get ready.
Meanwhile,
Many other members of the organisation received their messages as well. They too were asked to depart immediately for their assigned cities.
Head Neil Moon was watching the matter closely. To his surprise, almost everyone had applied for the Volunteer Task except those severely injured.
More importantly, he knew Jeremy Night was going as well. He immediately called Gisela and asked her to inquire about Jeremy’s task.
He had a feeling things wouldn’t go smoothly.
It didn’t take long for Gisela to return with details. Learning that the kid was going to City C, he eased his eyebrows.
He didn’t believe the threats around City C would endanger Jeremy. The kid had already proven he could kill Tier-4 Corrupted Beasts.
The dangerous beasts around City C weren’t stronger than Tier-4. Still, he told her to keep watch over Jeremy.
About 20 minutes later,
Jeremy left his room and headed for the lobby. He went down and saw many preparing to leave.
He wasn’t surprised. His eyes wandered around. He wanted to see Captain Sinag and Ada before leaving.
Jeremy continues to wait. He thinks that they might have already gone, so he decides to leave. He then goes towards the exit door and walks out of the building.
He had planned to remind Team Leader Gisela earlier, but surprisingly, she called him first. After knowing that he was going to City C,
She asked him to be wary of others around him. He knew what she meant. The threats were from both sides, from humans and corrupted beasts as well.
