STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer

The City A returned to calmness, especially after the last day's worm beast incident. Though City Governor Elton had slain the beast, the news reporters and analysts were still discussing it live on the news.

Because unlike other corrupted beasts, the worm beasts are different. They are underground-type beasts, making it difficult for the Beast Tamers to find and kill them.

Unless the beast tamers have the underground-type lifeline beast, it's challenging for the rest of the beast tamers to deal with this kind of underground-type lifeline beast.

So these people were discussing measures to prevent such things from happening next time.

Meanwhile,

Rick, the Goldcorp shareholder, was going through intense emotions. He had almost gone crazy. He was obsessed with the next Governor position.

But for some reason, the Human Alliance had yet to appoint the next governors. At the same time, City Governor Elton was working to gain good ratings from the public.

Since Governor Elton had saved the city yesterday, he thought Governor Elton's post might be extended.

Rick had just gotten rid of the investigations conducted by the City Administration. He was about to continue his plan. The worm beast incident took place yesterday.

"What to do?"

"Should I ask for help from others?" Rick thought.

His goal would be achieved when a major disruption occurred. He had used many methods so far, and he could only think of disrupting the next major incident.

It could ruin the reputation of the City Governors. When this idea came to his mind, he began to ponder.

"What's the next big event going to take place in the city?" Rick asked himself.

Then he took out a digital device to check online. He was going to check the City Administration's site.

It didn't take long for him to learn about the important events going to be held this year.

A few minutes later,

"The Best Beast Tamer competition conducted by the Beast Taming Association," Rick muttered to himself.

He knew about the Best Beast Tamer competition; it was a big event conducted by the Beast Taming Association annually.

The goal of that competition is to find out the best talent in each zone. City A conducts the competition on behalf of Zone 14.

It is a significant event because the Beast Taming Association is overseeing it. At the same time, the winner of the competition would receive rewards from the Human Alliance.

So the event is important for the Human Alliance as well. It's the event where they can find the next generation of beast tamers to invest in and nurture.

If something bad happens during the competition, it would be a huge loss for everyone, especially the Human Alliance.

Rick's eyes flashed with a cunning glint. He couldn't think about other zones, but in Zone 14, City A, he could use his means to disrupt the competition.

"If the City A event fails, then the Beast Taming Association would be dissatisfied with the three City Governors. Then it would be a matter of time before the Human Alliance fires them from their posts," Rick said to himself.

His eyes reignited with hope. The Best Beast Tamer competition was quite a big event for him as well, so he had to be careful with each and every step.

Rick then immediately called his assistant, Javier. He wanted to see him since he had thought of a plan. He was going to act on it without delay.

Meanwhile,

A few minutes ago,

Javier was at his security firm. He was in a grumpy mood because of failures in tasks. His security firm was not doing well because he had cut down many activities due to the City Administration's investigation.

It would take some time for him to get the company back to the top. Not only that, but he had also failed to eliminate the university kid.

His man's failed assassination led to an investigation by the City police as well. They were looking for traces everywhere. One of their teams continued to be stationed at the city gate.

Because of this, he had to stay low-key and avoid that kid.

Just as he was pondering, he received a call from his Master Rick. Seeing that, he immediately pushed down unnecessary thoughts before answering the call.

"Master, what is it?" he asked.

A few minutes later,

When the call ended, his expression changed drastically. Oldman Javier immediately left his firm and started going to his Master's place.

About 20 minutes later,

Rick was at his home. His assistant Javier arrived on time.

Oldman Javier walked into the living room. Upon seeing Rick's calm expression, he knew something was up.

He recognized that his Master had been in a bad mood lately because of the City Administration's investigation.

Now that it was over, he thought that Master Rick was considering the old ways.

Rick raised his head and looked at him.

He asked, "What do you think about the Best Beast Tamer Competition?"

Gasp!

Oldman Javier took a deep breath. His eyes turned serious. He didn't know what his Master was thinking, but he chose to answer truthfully.

"Master, the Beast Tamer Competition is a big event. The Human Alliance pays attention to it. If anything happens, then the Beast Taming Association would do everything to find out the reason," Javier said.

Hearing that, Rick cracked a wide grin. All that he wanted was the Human Alliance's attention on their Zone 14, City A.

"Tell me what would happen?"

"If Zone 14 fails to provide their Best Beast Tamer," Rick asked.

Tud!

Oldman Javier felt a tightening in his chest. They were just small-time criminals doing their activities in City A, but disrupting such a big event would invite the wrath of the Beast Taming Association.

He didn't think his master had a backup plan for escape.

Javier understood that his master wanted to target the three City Governors, but doing this would do no good for them.

He decided to stop his master from making such dangerous plans. If he didn't do anything, he could die along with his master.
