STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer Chapter 812: A severe danger

Red Moon Chamber

Head Harold said, "I don’t know how you have done it, but don’t tell anyone about it. I don’t want to pry into your secrets either."

Hearing that, Jeremy Night sighed in relief. He was worried that the Head might ask for details.

It was not that he didn’t want to share; he simply thought it was best for the matter not to be known by a second person.

"Thank you, Head," Jeremy replied.

"I think it’s the work of Robert Hill. Otherwise, why would a Tier-6 Beast Tar target you?" Harold said.

Jeremy nodded to him.

Head Harold then thought of sothing. He summoned Elder Stephen, the one who heads the Departnt of Intelligence Gathering.

Shortly afterward, Elder Stephen arrived at the office. Head Harold looked at the elder and nodded to him. Jeremy Night greeted him as well.

"Elder Stephen, what’s going on with the Hill Beast Taming Family these days?" Harold asked.

Jeremy perked up his ears to listen.

Stephen said, "The heir of the Hill Family, Tyson Hill, has been missing since the Tier-9 Sky Crocodile attack. It is believed that he was killed by a lightning strike."

Hearing that, Harold and Jeremy Night exchanged looks. Harold asked a couple more questions, and then Stephen left the room.

"So I was right. It must be the work of Robert Hill. He has lost his mind. His son’s death has taken a toll on him," Harold said. He then looked into Jeremy Night’s eyes.

"Jeremy Night, you must be careful. Robert Hill is disregarding the rules. He could attack you next ti. His son’s death is making him go crazy," Harold said in a serious tone.

Jeremy was stunned. He knew the seriousness of the matter. An unknown sense of crisis gripped his heart.

He had sohow killed the Tier-6 Beast Tar, Roland, but Robert Hill was different.

He was a Tier-8 Beast Tar. Jeremy didn’t know what to do; he then started worrying about his family.

"Head, my family might face attacks as well," he said.

A quick gleam appeared in Harold’s eyes.

"Don’t worry, I will speak to Neil. He will add an extra layer of protection to your family," Harold said. "Then I will tell Stephen to monitor the Hill Family. If anyone makes a move, we will know imdiately."

Only then did Jeremy relax.

A few minutes later, Jeremy Night left the office and headed back to his own room. After returning, he began to rest, though the threat of the Hill Family weighed heavily on his mind.

He was sure that Robert Hill wouldn’t let him go. Robert Hill had already hired the Darkshade organization to kill him. It was already a miracle that he had survived three tis.

Now that soone had tried to kill him right in the city, he didn’t feel safe at all. Despite Harold’s words, he decided to do sothing about his own safety.

...

Hill Family

Robert Hill was in his room, waiting for Roland Hill’s call. Robert walked back and forth, feeling slightly nervous.

He was worried that the Head of the Red Moon Chamber might seek revenge, but he was prepared for that. He had lost his son, yet his son’s enemy was still alive.

It didn’t sit well with him. That was why he wanted his son’s enemy dead.

Ti passed. Nightfall ca, yet there was no sign of Roland Hill returning.

Robert Hill tried to call him many tis, but none of his calls were answered. Robert began to think sothing was wrong.

He had given Roland the task of killing that kid, Jeremy Night, within the city. There was no need to enter the wilderness.

He had even been making backup plans in case the Governors were alerted. But he received no news at all. He decided to wait until the next morning.

...

A couple of days passed by. Robert Hill lost his patience. He suspected sothing had happened to Roland Hill. He then rembered that Roland had a tracking device on him.

He could use the device to locate him, but for that, he needed permission from the Governors.

On the other hand, the Governors had stopped monitoring the border. Martin hadn’t found anything concrete.

He had failed to find the beast responsible for the killings and could only return, though he continued monitoring for a few days before stopping.

Governors Orion and Leon relaxed. They were glad that Martin’s assumption had turned out to be wrong. They resud their administrative work, trying to forget about the Beast Tide.

Post-noon, Robert Hill ca to the City Administration Office seeking an appointnt with the Governors.

The Governors were surprised; they didn’t know why he had co to see them.

"I heard his son died," Orion said.

"He was one of the victims of the lightning strike," Leon added.

Martin listened to them and then told the official to let Robert enter. Robert Hill walked into the office, saw the Governors, and greeted them. Martin told him to sit.

Robert sat opposite them and made his request. He claid he wanted to find Roland Hill, who seed to be missing.

The Governors were taken aback. Roland Hill was a well-known, capable Tier-6 Beast Tar who had contributed during the Beast Tide.

The Governors didn’t make a decision right away; they wanted to understand the circumstances.

If a Tier-6 Beast Tar was missing, he might have entered the wilderness and been targeted by corrupted beasts.

Robert Hill hid the true nature of Roland’s mission from them. He told himself that Roland might have simply entered the wilderness.

Martin then said, "We will locate the device first. It will tell us his whereabouts."

Martin looked towards Robert Hill with a doubtful gaze. He is not going to completely trust this person.

Orion and Leon agreed with Martin’s words. They too don’t believe Robert Hill. Robert Hill is an opportunistic person.

Robert Hill saw their reaction. He didn’t show any mixed response. He kept his face straight.
