Chapter 249: Chapter 249: I Hope You’ll Surprise Me

Zane completely ignored Celestine's words, pretending he hadn't heard her, and continued speaking to Charles.

"A real man keeps his word, you can't just act like you never said anything!"

Right now, Zane had only one thought in mind: he wanted Charles to sign up for the "Reaper's Scythe" challenge!

After witnessing Finn's fate, Zane felt quite pleased.

Because as long as Charles also signed up, his outcome would surely be the same!

Even if the ace Level 4 Beast Master arranged by the Taylor family failed, Icy would still make Charles understand what death feels like!

Moreover, at that time, Zane planned to see if he could strike a deal with Icy,

getting Icy to be a bit harsher and kill Charles in the octagonal cage!

Right now, Zane was only worried about one thing: what if Charles got scared and chose to back down?

If that happened, he wouldn't have any way to proceed and would never find such a good opportunity again.

That's why he thought to come over to Charles and provoke him with words, hoping to push him to sign up for the "Reaper's Scythe" challenge.

Charles was well aware of Zane's intentions, he didn't even acknowledge him and turned to Celestine instead.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Trust me."

Hearing the same words as before, Celestine stared intently into Charles's eyes and chose to believe him.

Meanwhile, Zane nearly laughed out loud after hearing Charles's words.

He thought that his earlier comments had driven Charles to lose his mind and decide to continue signing up for "Reaper's Scythe."

"It seems Charles isn't so great after all, he's been led around by me this whole time!" Zane thought to himself,

and he couldn't wait to see Charles die in the octagonal cage!

At that time, he could also bet on Charles's defeat and recover all the gold coins he had lost because of him!

"Alright! Charles, I admire you for being a real man!" Zane said, suppressing his excitement.

Charles and Celestine ignored him once again.

Zane felt no embarrassment at all, he kept his eyes glued to Charles as he slowly walked into the octagonal cage.

This scene piqued the audience's curiosity.

"What's going on? Isn't the fight already over? Is there going to be a second round?"

"Are you out of your mind? This guy is Charles, he said he was going to sign up for Reaper's Scythe!"

"No way, after seeing Finn and Icy's battle, Charles still dares to do this?"

"I really don't know whether to call him brave or just overly confident!"

As the audience debated, Charles stepped into the octagonal cage.

The blood on the ground hadn't been cleaned up yet and was slowly congealing.

The bald man held the microphone, looking quite surprised as he shouted, "It seems we have another brave warrior wanting to sign up for the Reaper's Scythe challenge today!"

"This warrior is known to everyone, he is hailed as a monster from Cyber Academy, Charles!"

At this moment, the live broadcast was still ongoing.

People from Genosha were in the chat room, watching that familiar figure in the octagonal cage, and hundreds of thousands of viewers began discussing it.

Many people were not optimistic about Charles, Finn was so strong, and he was carried off on a stretcher, unconscious, after facing Icy, the ace Level 4 Beast Master.

Charles had just become a Level 4 Beast Master, and his strength was definitely not on par with Finn's. How could he dare to sign up for "Reaper's Scythe" now? Wasn't that just asking for death?

However, there were also loyal fans of Charles, continuously supporting him.

"He wouldn't go looking for death, and neither would Charles! He has the strength!"

"Exactly, Charles is a true genius, he must have some hidden cards up his sleeve!"

"Just wait, I'm going to bet my entire six months' salary on Charles's victory!"

At the same time,

in the royal palace of Genosha, in Camilla's room, she was anxiously sitting on her bed, holding a tablet and watching the live stream.

Next to her sat Rose, the Grand Princess of Genosha.

Seeing her sister's worried and tense expression, Rose spoke up, "What's wrong? Are you that worried about Charles?"

"Sis, do you think Charles will succeed in the challenge?" Camilla asked, completely ignoring her sister's joking tone.

Her heart was filled with concern for Charles, eager to know if he could succeed in the challenge.

Rose recalled Icy's battle and said, "It's tough, but you don't have to worry too much, if it really comes down to it, he can surrender."

"Surrender?" Camilla looked at Charles standing in the octagonal cage.

In her heart, she felt that Charles would never choose to surrender.

Tonight, countless people were paying attention to this event.

Countless eyes were fixed on Charles in the octagonal cage, where three gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters appeared before him.

"The rules for signing up are well-known, you must defeat three gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters in a short time to proceed with the Reaper's Scythe challenge!" the bald man announced to the audience.

He pointed at Charles and then at the three gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters, shouting loudly,

"The battle is about to begin, those who want to place bets should act quickly!"

While many spectators didn't believe Charles could complete the "Reaper's Scythe" challenge, they still thought he could defeat the three gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters.

Soon, the battle began!

With a piercing sound ringing out,

the blood-soaked ground beneath Charles cracked suddenly,

and his figure shot forward like a cannonball, charging straight at the three gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters.

This move instantly sparked cheers from the crowd.

Perhaps it was because they had seen Finn's cautious fighting style that the audience particularly enjoyed Charles's straightforward and aggressive approach.

Zane looked at the cheering crowd around him, wearing a disdainful expression on his face.

He thought to himself that Charles was only doing this to attract attention, defeating three gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters would not be that easy!

However, in the next moment,

the attacking Charles faced the first reacting gold-ranked Beast Master.

He slammed a punch directly into the opponent's blocking arm and then, without even looking back, turned to confront another gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Master.

As expected, the gold-ranked Beast Master who took the punch from Charles staggered back, his arms trembling, trying to make a move but unable to lift his arms at all!

"Be careful, his strength is terrifying! Don't take it head-on!" the injured gold-ranked Beast Master shouted loudly.

He wanted to warn his teammates about Charles's frightening power,

but the other two Level 4 Beast Masters didn't have time to react, Charles's threat was not just his strength—he had speed too!

Facing the onslaught from the two remaining gold-ranked Beast Masters, Charles showed no signs of concern.

He had gone through countless similar scenarios in the training tower, defeating just three Level 4 Beast Masters was nothing, especially since he hadn't even summoned his mystical beast yet.

It was almost too easy.

Every evasive maneuver was executed perfectly, precisely timed.

All of the attacks from the two gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters struck nothing but air, failing to touch Charles at all.

In their eyes, Charles seemed like a phantom—visible, yet untouchable!

They were completely unable to inflict any effective damage on Charles!

The gold-ranked Beast Master who had initially been injured joined the fight, but all he could do now was to slightly restrain Charles to create opportunities for his teammates.

Yet Charles paid him no mind at all, facing the attacks from all three of them.

No longer choosing to evade, he launched a forceful attack!

A gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Master struck toward Charles's face, and Charles countered with a punch aimed directly at the man's fist.

The result was that the man's arm shattered instantaneously, a segment of white bone breaking through the muscle and exposing itself on the surface of the skin!

"Ahhhhhh!" The screams mixed with the cheers of the audience echoed throughout the underground arena.

In the next ten seconds,

Charles swiftly and decisively took down the remaining two gold-ranked Level 4 Beast Masters.

In the octagonal cage, he stood alone in the center.

The audience shouted, "Awesome! No wonder it's Charles, I just made some money!"

"This is the way a real man fights! Charles, even if you lose later, you're still a true man!"

"Defeating three gold-ranked without using combat techniques—impressive!"

Zane slightly tempered his inner joy. He had anticipated that Charles could defeat three gold-ranked opponents, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quickly, so cleanly!

It seemed Charles's strength was indeed formidable,

but so what? Finn had also been strong at first, yet he was defeated by Icy and fell into a coma.

Charles wouldn't be any different, and the Taylor family had other plans!

Outside the octagonal cage,

Icy, who hadn't left yet, watched with interest as Charles slowly walked out of the cage.

He had paid some attention to the previous fight and noticed that Charles's strength was considerably greater than Finn's, with both speed and power at a high level.

However, since Charles hadn't used any combat techniques, Icy couldn't accurately gauge just how strong he truly was.

At this level, even if Charles possessed a similar number of combat techniques as Finn, he still wouldn't be a match for him, at most he could only hold on a little longer.

"Master Icy, this Charles seems quite strong, I wonder if you're interested?" the bald man inquired cautiously from the side. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If Icy was interested, he could have his boss make some arrangements.

However, it couldn't be like today, where so many spectators lost their wallets, from now on, whenever Icy appeared, gamblers would undoubtedly bet on his victory without hesitation!

"Let's see, it seems Charles is stronger than Finn, but I wonder how many combat techniques he possesses. If it's too few, I won't be interested." Icy said nonchalantly.

That was exactly what he was thinking.

Even if Charles had the same number of combat techniques as Finn, he still wouldn't be a match for him.

After all, not everyone could create their own combat techniques.

What the Dawn organization needed wasn't just a talented Beast Master, but a true monster!

Completing the "Reaper's Scythe" challenge merely granted access to the Dawn organization, while he was a formal member!

"I hope you bring me some surprises." Icy said, looking at Charles.
