Chapter 270: Chapter 270: What Are They Hiding?

The mysterious figure had once said that as long as they did not directly attack Charles, they would not intervene in any matters.The opportunity presented to Benson was truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Even if Ezra returned safe and sound in the future, it would not significantly affect the Taylor family.

A level nine Beast Master taking action against Charles had little to do with the Taylor family.

Moreover, considering Charles's level of recognition within Genosha Calivia, even if the Taylor family remained silent, others would definitely talk about it.

"Just a little guidance will do, avoid saying too much. Safety first!" Benson's mind raced with thoughts.

Meanwhile, Jamie, the head of Cyber Academy, had a bad feeling in his heart.

Charles was undoubtedly the most famous genius in Genosha. If he caught Lucas's attention, especially after Lucas had just killed a dozen people,

the consequences could be dire!

What if Lucas acted impulsively and decided to attack Charles?

Thinking of this, Jamie immediately spoke up before anyone else could: "Most of the geniuses in Genosha have already entered the three major academies for their studies.

The remaining ones are being taught by teachers."

"If you're looking to take on a disciple, you'll need to exclude those who have already pledged themselves to a master."

Jamie's words echoed in the ears of the crowd, and everyone turned to look at Lucas, eager to know if he truly intended to find an apprentice.

"That's true, but can anyone else compare to me? I want to see what level the geniuses of Genosha are at before deciding on a disciple." Lucas replied.

This answer neither confirmed nor denied his intention to take on an apprentice.

Jamie wasn't ready to give up just yet, he turned to Miles and proposed, "Your Majesty, why not notify the young geniuses in Genosha who wish to take on a master to come to the royal banquet?"

Miles glanced at Lucas and, seeing that he showed no signs of refusal, nodded in agreement.

The top figures in Genosha around them began to understand Jamie's purpose in doing this.

Just as Benson was about to say something, before he could open his mouth, Jamie was already in front of him, staring intently into his eyes, filled with murderous intent, and said:

"Oh, does the head of the Taylor family have any other opinions?"

Benson looked into Jamie's cold, murderous gaze and chose not to respond.

He could sense that if he mentioned Charles at this moment, he would surely face Jamie's retaliation later!

The wrath of an eighth-level Beast Master was something the Taylor family could not bear right now.

Thinking of what the mysterious figure had promised, Benson took a deep breath and shook his head, indicating he had no objections.

Yet in his heart, he vowed that once he used that thing to become an eighth-level Beast Master, he would make Jamie pay the price!

The decision had been made.

A group of people was heading toward the royal palace.

Meanwhile, the young talents of Genosha received notifications from the royal family, with messages appearing on their phones.

It stated that a level nine Beast Master would be attending the royal banquet and encouraged them to perform well, as this could be a chance to earn the favor of the Beast Master.

Upon seeing this message, countless individuals were instantly excited!

A level nine Beast Master was the dream of many Beast Masters, a figure revered wherever they went.

Finn looked at the message on his phone, swayed his body, and felt that his injuries had mostly healed. He turned to Shannon beside him and said:

"I want to go see it, to try my luck."

Shannon craned his neck and leaned down to peek at the information on Finn's phone, astonished.

He asked, "A level nine Beast Master? Is this for real? There are only a handful of level nine Beast Masters in the Abyssal Depths. Who could it be coming to Genosha Calivia?"

Shannon clearly had more knowledge about the Abyssal Depths.

His mind raced, most level nine Beast Masters were incredibly busy, and there were very few who could come to Genosha at this time.

Moreover, those without disciples who were looking to take on apprentices were even rarer.

"Could it be Light Knight, Lucas?" Shannon considered this possibility.

He immediately turned to Finn and said, "You need to think this through. Lucas has another title: the Elegant Madman!"

Finn slightly furrowed his brows. He found the two contrasting titles quite strange.

One was Light Knight, which sounded full of justice and power.

The other was Elegant Madman, suggesting a sense of obsession and abnormality.

However, for him, as long as it was a level nine Beast Master, it was not a problem.

If he could become a disciple of a level nine Beast Master, his revenge would have a greater chance of success!

"No more thinking, if I miss this chance, there won't be another. A level nine Beast Master is not someone you encounter easily." Finn took a deep breath and made his decision.

He was determined to give it a shot!

There were many others who shared Finn's thoughts.

Some senior students from Cyber Academy were also making their way to the Genosha royal palace.

Those who received the message were all exceptionally talented and powerful young individuals, only such people were qualified to attend the banquet.

Otherwise, if their skills were lacking and their talent insufficient, they would only embarrass themselves in front of the level nine Beast Master.

Charles was no exception, he looked at the message on his phone, feeling a bit perplexed.

Before Charles had a chance to think further, Jamie's call came through.

"Charles, you absolutely must not attend the banquet later. A lot of people from Constellation died at Cross Street today, Lucas was behind it."

Cross Street?

People from Constellation?

Charles felt his curiosity about Lucas intensify. He attempted to search for some information online,

but details about a level nine Beast Master were classified and generally inaccessible to the public.

Hearing Jamie's concerned voice, Charles nodded and replied:

"Dean, I won't be going. Besides, I already have Master Ezra, I'm not interested in other Beast Masters."

Upon hearing Charles's response, Jamie sighed with relief.

What he needed to do now was wait for Lucas to leave. If things went smoothly, it wouldn't interfere with Charles participating in the underground octagonal cage fight that night.

He also hoped to see if he could get Lucas to help look into the curse on Hale.

Thinking of this, Jamie glanced toward the center of the banquet, where Lucas was sitting.

If it were the old days, that seat would surely have been occupied by Genosha's Emperor Miles.

This was the benefit of having immense power—countless people admired and respected you, too afraid to provoke you, desperately wanting to win your favor.

Even the position of the Dean of Cyber Academy's Genosha branch felt somewhat insignificant in this moment. If Jamie wanted to ask Lucas for help, he could only give it a shot.

"Hale, be careful and stick close to me." Jamie instructed Hale.

Hale nodded and followed Jamie over.

"Sir, I am Jamie, the Dean of Cyber Academy. This is Hale, his uncle is Ezra." Jamie introduced them right away.

There could be no hesitation at this moment, he needed to mention his status as Dean and Hale's connection to Ezra to pique Lucas's interest.

Sure enough, upon hearing Jamie's words, Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lucas looked up at Hale. After a few seconds, he spoke with genuine interest, "Interesting. This curse seems somewhat familiar. Let me think about where I've seen it before."

Upon hearing this, Jamie instantly felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders.

Hale instinctively looked up at Lucas, who was deep in thought.

His emotions were complicated, he desperately wanted Lucas to help lift the curse but feared it might all be in vain.

After all, Ezra had tried various methods to resolve the curse on him, and none had worked!

Could Lucas have a solution?

After a moment, Lucas shook his head and slowly said, "I can't remember where I encountered it before, but I can help him lift the curse."

Hale froze in place at these words.

His body began to tremble, the curse that had trapped him for years was about to be lifted today?

However, in the next moment,

all his fantasies and hopes were ruthlessly shattered.

"I can lift the curse on him, but why should I bother?" Lucas said casually.

A dean from Cyber Academy's branch and a connection to Ezra,

It wasn't enough to make him help Hale.

To lift this curse, he would need to expend energy, time, and effort.

"Well, I wonder what your requirements are, sir?" Jamie spoke first. He didn't want to lose this opportunity. Over the years, he had been watching Hale's performance closely.

He knew that Hale had great potential and would definitely achieve more than just being a level eight Beast Master in the future.

But the key was that the curse had to be lifted, otherwise, Hale would remain a level six Beast Master for life!

"I have no demands. I'm just quite curious—what is Cyber Academy hiding?" Lucas smiled as he looked at Jamie.

The observational skills of a level nine Beast Master were not so easily deceived.

Back at Cross Street, he had already noticed some interesting things.

When geniuses were mentioned, many people's eyes in Genosha subconsciously turned towards Jamie and Benson.

Especially the way Jamie spoke to Benson, filled with threats and malice.

Clearly, things were not so simple, was Cyber Academy hiding something about their geniuses that he wasn't meant to know?

As he entered the banquet earlier,

Lucas had taken out his phone and searched for Cyber Academy, discovering that much of the information was related to a particular young man.

There were mentions of a monster from Cyber Academy, a true genius, a disciple of a level eight Beast Master, an eighteen-year-old level four Beast Master, and a mystical beast of diamond quality...

All this information shared one common name: Charles!

But why did Jamie not want him to know about Charles's existence?

"So, Charles is a multi-attribute Beast Master? And he has contracted a dark attribute mystical beast?" Lucas murmured softly.

The smile on his face grew even broader.
