"Good." After saying that, Jeremy stabbed him again a few times.
The Black Clothed Man died unwillingly.
Jeremy then vacated the place. He started going towards the hideout directly. He was almost convinced that the Black Clothed Man was telling the truth.
The fear of death was evident in his eyes. Unfortunately, they had picked the wrong city to carry out their illegal activity.
While moving, Jeremy couldn't help but think about the corpses. He was sure that this illegal group was doing something with those corpses.
The slender-looking man walked out of the cave. When he saw that there was no one near the truck, he was shocked. But when he went forward to check, he saw that their driver had been murdered.
"Who is it this time?" he screamed out loud.
Previously, his members had died. Now, his driver was dead as well. The slender-looking man's eyes flickered.
"Was it a mercenary or someone else?" he asked himself.
Their hideout manager had warned them previously; he didn't want anyone to know about them, including unrelated mercenaries.
One thing led to another. They didn't want their identity to be exposed. Right now, their driver was killed, and the slender-looking man didn't know what to think about it.
He then bent down to inspect the corpse. He flipped the body over before looking at the back wound and neck.
"What a vicious stabbing," he muttered to himself.
The driver was a Tier-3 Beast Tamer. Ordinary Tier-3 Beast Tamers couldn't beat him. To think he was stabbed to death.
He thought the enemy might be a Tier-3 Peak or Tier-4, Rank 1 Beast Tamer.
"Things are getting out of my hands. I'll tell the manager first." After muttering to himself, he made a call to Manager Salvatore.
The call was connected. He then informed him of everything. The manager asked him to vacate the place since the lair was compromised.
After ending the call, the slender-looking man went back inside the cave to inform his men.
Meanwhile, inside the hideout, Manager Salvatore was in a bad mood. His men were dying, but he couldn't afford to retaliate.
Revenge and the killings of mercenaries would attract the attention of the City Administration. He knew that the city governors were not ordinary Beast Tamers.
They were higher-tier Beast Tamers. He couldn't fight against three of them at the same time. That's why he had been asking his members to stay low-key and avoid killing the mercenaries as much as possible.
He still had a few more lairs to clear out. If he finished the job here, then he could go to the next city.
Ron Night returned to his family. But he was surprised to find that his son was not there. When he asked his wife, Nora shared the news of Jeremy's Rank 4 evolution.
Hearing that, he realized his son Jeremy had gone out on a mission. He didn't know exactly what the mission was, but he knew his son was smart and could protect himself.
Wilderness (deeper area):
Jeremy turned off the cam to save the battery. He would activate it again during the interrogation. Before going further, Jeremy decided to put some safety measures in place.
He found a small bedrock nearby in the middle of the jungle. He sat on it before taking out perfume. It was the perfume of one of the nastiest plants.
No corrupted beasts would go near the nastiest plant to avoid the rotten smell, including the high-tier corrupted beasts. It was one of the safety measures he bought from the store.
After spraying it on his combat uniform, he turned his attention to the toad poison. Instead of wasting the starlight energy, he decided to make use of the poison.
He cleaned the bloodstains first before smearing the toad poison on the knife blade. After doing that, he started packing everything.
About 10 minutes later,
Jeremy resumed his journey. For the first time, he was going to the deeper area. His heart raced. It was normal to encounter Tier-3 and Tier-4 Corrupted beasts there.
So, he pinned high hopes on the toad poison.
As time passed, he found that the forest was becoming denser. The sizes of the plants and trees were becoming larger as well.
Not only that, the natural energy in the surroundings was increasing. He didn't know when his unknown egg lifeline beast had started absorbing energy from the surroundings.
But he could feel that this place was getting better as he went further in.
"No wonder high-tier corrupted beasts like to live in the deep area," Jeremy thought.
If he could practice the Inner Healing method here in this environment, then he would get twice the results compared to the city environment.
Jeremy found something in night vision again. He could only see a beast is coming towards him. Jeremy stayed on the spot, holding onto the branch of a nearby tree.
He calmed his racing heart. He didn't know what kind of beast it was, but it changed direction and fled after smelling something nasty.
Seeing that, he sighed inwardly. He felt glad that he had made a wise choice to buy safety items. After waiting for another 20 minutes, he resumed his journey.
Jeremy followed the map and started getting closer to the place pointed out by the Black Clothed Man.
While going through the jungle, he couldn't help but wonder about the hideout. It was hard to walk on this terrain. He wondered how these people were moving trucks to that place.
But it didn't take long for him to find the answer. He heard the sound of a truck moving in the distance. That sound made his heart race.
He thought he was getting closer to the hideout. He continued moving forward. Slowly, the path came to an end. The terrain he had walked along so far was the surface of a cliff.
When the path ended, Jeremy saw a slope. Before he could feel disappointed, he saw a line of trucks going somewhere.
