Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

"The boy from Genosha, I will send someone to investigate him thoroughly. Now, let's discuss how to address the repercussions of this incident." the mysterious man's voice echoed once more.

The thin elder snorted coldly and said, "What else can be done? Isn't this what you all do best? Hide the truth and use other hot-button issues to divert everyone's attention."

"Then, subtly alter everyone's memories, making them forget anything related to this matter."

The mysterious figure paid no mind to the elder's sarcastic tone, calmly stating:

"You should know very well the consequences of everyone knowing about this."

The thin elder fell silent for a moment, then sighed and slowly said, "Sigh, I just feel that even if death is inevitable, it should come after knowing the truth."

"Is the truth really that important? If everyone knows, we would only have a few years left before the world ends." the mysterious man said in the most neutral tone, revealing the most terrifying reality.

"Even if we keep them in the dark, how much time do we really have left? The barrier of the Ethereal Grove is weakening little by little, and those things outside are stirring." the thin elder said, furrowing his brow.

"We have twenty years. We have twenty years to cultivate a true savior!" The mysterious man slowly turned his body, looking out the window of the conference room as he continued.

"If, after thirty years, there is still no hope in sight, I will decide to abandon the other realms and activate the Haunted Marsh barrier. That way, we can still buy some time."

Silence fell, the other eight people present remained quiet.

After a long pause, a two-meter-tall, robust man sighed and said slowly, "Are we really going to do that? The combined population of the other realms is over ten billion!"

"If the barrier of the Ethereal Grove fails, then those ten billion people will become food for the things outside." The mysterious man in the white mask turned slowly, his tone calm as he continued:

"We can't allow those things outside to grow any stronger, otherwise, we truly won't be able to resist."

"If that situation arises, I will be the one to make the decision. You don't need to carry any psychological burden."

The thin elder opened his mouth but found himself unable to speak.

"Alright, let's move on to discuss other matters. The six [Bodies] will hide, they don't want us to discover them, and Ten will do his best to hunt them down."

"Do your best to take action as well. This is just the [Constellation]'s operation in the Abyssal Depths, the [Bodies] will appear in other places too." the mysterious man said slowly.

...

In the Abyssal Depths, Genosha, at the Cyber Academy,

Charles woke up early as usual. When he returned to Genosha, he saw online news about events happening in other countries.

He initially thought that the [Constellation] organization was only active in Flower Falls Gorge, but it turned out their operations spanned the entire Abyssal Depths!

For the past few days, Charles had been pondering why the members of the [Constellation] organization were doing this.

What was their ultimate goal?

Unfortunately, due to the lack of information, even speculation is impossible.

Ever since the incident at Flower Falls Gorge, Charles had returned to his normal life.

Every day, he switched back and forth between attending classes and training. Recently, news about the inter-academy competition among the three major academies of Genosha had been frequently mentioned, and many people began discussing it.

This made Charles instinctively think of Grace, he hadn't heard any news about her for quite some time.

Charles slightly lowered his head, looking at the human contract on himself, his expression unusually calm.

As usual, he arrived at the academy cafeteria, where he summoned Little Gold, Mia, Max, and Mousie in a private booth.

"Master, master! I'm so hungry, really hungry!" Little Gold rushed to Charles's side as soon as it appeared, constantly rubbing its head against Charles's legs.

"I really can't deal with you. You just finished eating fifty gold coins' worth of metal yesterday! If you keep eating like this, others would have long been unable to support you!" Charles said slowly.

Little Gold lifted its head, its eyes sparkling as it looked at Charles, replying, "That's others, you are the best, Master! You won't let me eat less!"

Charles had no choice but to take out some metal materials from his storage space.

Little Gold's Metal Devour ability was quite expensive, but its growth was also significant, it was now nearly two meters tall!

"By the way, Little Gold, how big can you grow in the future?" Charles asked curiously.

Little Gold completely ignored Charles, wildly devouring the metal in front of it, until Charles casually said, "Do you want to eat again tomorrow?"

Little Gold abruptly stopped its actions, stuck out its tongue, licked the metallic residue at the corner of its mouth, thought seriously for a moment, and answered:

"Very, very big!"

"How big exactly?" Charles was very curious.

"About a hundred times my current size." Little Gold said slowly.

Charles gasped in shock, Little Gold could actually grow that big in the future?

How much metal would that require!

Just thinking about it made Charles a bit uneasy, it seemed that most of his money would have to go into Little Gold's belly in the future.

"You're really a bottomless money pit." Charles remarked with a sigh.

He then turned to look at Max. After the incident at Flower Falls Gorge, Charles had specifically used disguise props to take Max and the others to have fun in other places for two days.

After returning, Max's condition had noticeably improved, and the other mystical beasts were even more lively.

Honestly, Charles had completely come to regard Max, Mousie, Mia, and Little Gold as his family.

For a Beast Master, the psychological state of mystical beasts is equally crucial, they are not cold tools but rather warm, emotional, independent beings. Explore more stories at empire

Watching the mystical beasts continuously eat, a sense of serene happiness gradually rose in Charles's heart. He thought that living peacefully with the mystical beasts like this would also be a wonderful choice.

"Too bad, without enough strength, when danger arrives, I probably won't be able to protect them."

Thinking of this, Charles slowly clenched his fist, he couldn't halt his progress in becoming stronger.

Not to mention, once Little Gold grows a bit more, with his current power as a Level Four Beast Master and his skills as a Special Alchemist, he definitely wouldn't be able to provide enough metal materials for Little Gold.

Although Little Gold wouldn't starve without these materials, Charles didn't want to see Little Gold go hungry, he only joked about how much Little Gold eats but had never truly felt that way.

Similarly, he wanted to fulfill Mia's desire for fine wine, and while Mousie and Max didn't ask for much, he also wished to meet their needs in the future.

While Charles was lost in thought, Max, who had finished eating, quietly came to his side, slowly lay down next to him, and gently said:

"Master, you seem a little worried."

Charles reached out slowly and patted Max's head, replying, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I might just be busier in the future."

"Max doesn't mind that, as long as I'm by my master's side, I'm happy no matter what we do." Max's voice echoed in Charles's heart.

Charles was momentarily taken aback, then took a deep breath and lay down on Max, feeling its warmth.

Sunlight streamed in through the booth's window, illuminating the entire room.

Little Gold was eagerly bouncing around, engaged in Metal Devour, while Mousie was exceptionally lively, and Mia, who was clearly tipsy, swayed unsteadily.

Max lay calmly on the floor.

Charles felt an indescribable sense of peace and satisfaction in his heart.

...

In the afternoon, just after finishing his classes, Charles stepped out of the classroom and encountered two familiar figures.

Luna stood quietly at the door, accompanied by Snow.

Some other students turned to look, whispering among themselves:

"Look! It's Goddess Luna!"

"She's so beautiful! How did she end up here?"

"Don't you remember? She's also from our academy, she was just out with Lord Nathaniel for a while."

"I know that, I'm just curious. It seems like she's waiting for someone."

Someone immediately chimed in, "Duh, who else could she be waiting for? It must be Charles. No one else could make Luna wait like that."

"Charles? I really envy Luna." another student exclaimed unconsciously.

Then they continued to chatter among themselves: "Envy Luna? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Of course! I really envy her. That's Charles we're talking about. I wish I could just say a few words to him."

"You're right! Compared to Luna, Charles is even more admirable. I really envy Luna!"

Luna's body stiffened slightly, she could hear their words, and no matter how low their voices were, they couldn't escape her ears.

As Charles walked out of the classroom, Luna quickly approached him and said:

"I need to talk to you."

Charles stopped in his tracks, looking at Luna with some confusion, and asked, "What is it?"

"The banquet."

Snow couldn't help but facepalm, she felt that Luna's brevity was really not a good thing!

"Well, the exchange competition among the three academies is about to start, right? There's a banquet tonight that will invite some impressive young talents to attend. Luna feels it would be too boring to go alone, so she wanted to know if you'd like to join." Snow said directly.

Charles instinctively wanted to decline, he wasn't very interested in such banquets. He thought it would be better to spend the evening training in the training room. But then Snow said something that piqued his interest a little.
