Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Charles Arrives

Hale looked at the elegant smile on Lucas's face. He never expected that his attempt to hide information about Charles would be detected.Moreover, Lucas had even guessed that Charles was a multi-attribute Beast Master who had contracted a dark attribute mystical beast.

Hale couldn't help but wonder how Lucas, who had always held animosity toward dark attribute Beast Masters, would react upon meeting Charles.

He dared not think further.

He directly spoke to Jamie, saying, "Dean, let's go back."

After saying that, Hale bowed to Lucas and sincerely said, "Sir, there's no need to lift the curse on me, I apologize for the disturbance, and I hope you can forgive me."

Jamie let out a sigh as he looked at the defeated Hale, unsure of what to say.

Clearly, Hale was more concerned about Charles's safety than the curse afflicting him, he had already made his choice.

"Sir, Charles is just an ordinary student with some talent, but he is already a disciple of Ezra. It's normal for him not to want to attend the banquet." Jamie explained.

As long as Charles didn't come out and stayed within Cyber Academy, there should be no problems.

No matter how reckless Lucas was, he couldn't possibly enter Cyber Academy to take action against Charles.

Moreover, Jamie had another thought in mind: Charles had encountered a level eight Beast Master from Constellation and returned unscathed.

Additionally, Ezra had specifically sent over some equipment, and Colton had prepared a miracle drug to suppress spiritual sensitivity.

Jamie was aware of all these things.

Charles was definitely not an ordinary multi-attribute Beast Master. Jamie could sense from this information that Charles possessed talents beyond what most could imagine.

It was likely related to his spiritual sensitivity, which was probably much higher than that of an average person.

However, this was not a good thing, the higher the spiritual sensitivity, the more one could perceive things that ordinary people could not. This made it easier to encounter unspeakable horrors!

If Lucas became aware of Charles's spiritual sensitivity, he would undoubtedly take action!

Without absolute will and conviction, those who were exposed to such things too early often fell prey to temptation, corruption, and madness.

"Ezra's disciple, huh? It's been a long time since I've seen Ezra. Checking out his disciple sounds like a good idea." Lucas said, growing more curious.

He wanted to know what kind of genius could command Jamie's respect so greatly that this cursed level six Beast Master would give up the chance to lift his curse.

"Does anyone know Charles? I've heard he is a true genius." Lucas called out loudly.

Many talented young individuals at the banquet looked at each other upon hearing Charles's name.

Finn was also present, as soon as he arrived at the banquet, he scanned the room, hoping to catch sight of Charles.

When he realized Charles wasn't coming, Finn let out a sigh of relief.

If Charles were to attend, he would surely be overshadowed by such a talented individual!

However, after hearing the words of the level nine Beast Master at the center of the banquet, Finn became curious—why hadn't Charles come?

"Sir, Charles isn't important. There are already many geniuses here, they are the focus." Jamie reiterated.

Lucas waved his hand dismissively and replied, "I'm just curious. Ezra's disciple—if I could just see what Charles is like, I would help him lift the curse."

Hale looked at Lucas, who was pointing at him, and shook his head, indicating that he no longer needed the curse to be lifted.

At that moment,

Benson, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, walked over.

A mocking expression was on his face as he said, "Sir, this Charles is a real genius. He has excellent talent in alchemy and forging, and he's already a level four Beast Master at just eighteen."

"Not only that, but he's also a multi-attribute Beast Master, able to contract mystical beasts of different attributes, and he has even created his own combat techniques!"

Benson laid out all the details about Charles. This information was all true and could be found online.

Now that Lucas knew of Charles's existence, it didn't matter if he said these things, it was merely to irritate Jamie.

Lucas listened with great interest to Benson's words, his eyes growing brighter.

"If all of this is true, then Charles is indeed a worthy genius. However..." Lucas's smile slowly faded.

He turned to Jamie and said seriously, "However, a genius who walks the wrong path is worse than a fool who trains diligently."

The meaning behind his words was crystal clear.

No matter how talented Charles was, if he contracted a dark attribute mystical beast, he was likely to go down the wrong path, making him worse off than a fool with lesser strength.

Jamie clenched his fists, he had never encountered such a situation before.

As the headmaster of Cyber Academy, there had been very few times in his many years that he had to bow down.

Today, he had lowered himself more than once, trying to avoid drawing Lucas's attention to Charles.

But it seemed that fate was not on his side.

"Charles is currently training in the academy's training room and cannot come. I hope you can understand, sir." Jamie straightened up and slowly refused.

Lucas's expression remained blank as he stared at Jamie, the aura of a level nine Beast Master suddenly erupting.

The entire banquet hall fell silent.

Those younger individuals with lower strength turned red in the face, struggling to breathe.

They felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on them, slowly crushing them into the ground.

Finn tried hard to stand tall but found it futile.

As time passed, he could only gradually bend at the waist, his legs buckling.

Fortunately, this oppressive force didn't last long.

Lucas merely wanted to demonstrate his strength and had no intention of killing everyone there.

He looked at Jamie, whose face was dark with anxiety, and slowly said, "The gap between Beast Masters only widens as one progresses. It would be very simple for me to kill you."

Jamie had no way to refute this, he could feel the difference between them.

Both were level eight Beast Masters, and even Ezra could easily defeat him, let alone Lucas, the level nine Beast Master.

"Since Charles doesn't have time, I'll go visit him myself. What do you think?" Lucas's face regained its elegant smile.

The faint smile was like a pristine mask covering his features.

Jamie took a deep breath, the current situation indicated that Lucas was now very interested in Charles.

It seemed there was no escaping this today.

Noticing the unrefusable tone in Lucas's words, Jamie decided to make one last attempt. He planned to leverage the power of the Cyber Academy's main branch to instill some caution in Lucas.

"Charles is a student of Cyber Academy, and the main branch is also closely monitoring him." Jamie stated.

The smile on Lucas's face showed no signs of fading.

He slowly replied, "And what of it? If it were me from a decade ago, I might have had some reservations, but now..."

He only spoke half of his thought.

Lucas's nonchalant attitude left Jamie at a loss.

If Lucas no longer cared about Cyber Academy, what could possibly stop him?

"Sir, while Charles possesses dark attribute energy, he will never become someone like those in the Constellation organization!" Jamie asserted firmly.

Hale took a deep breath, since it concerned Charles's safety, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, Charles will be a powerful all-attribute Beast Master in the future, even stronger than Uncle Ezra."

The commotion quickly attracted the attention of others nearby.

After learning about the situation, some also stood up to speak!

"Sir, I am the president of the Forging Masters Guild. I vouch for Charles, dark attribute energy doesn't mean anything!" Xavier spoke in a low voice.

Owen, the president of the Alchemist Guild, chimed in, "That's right! We all know Charles's character, he will be a powerful guardian in the future!"

General Mason from Genosha, Danel, the president of the Genosha branch of the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association, and others who recognized Charles all began to speak up.

Lucas observed the scene before him,

growing more curious, while his killing intent intensified.

This situation meant that Charles was either truly as they described or an absolute terror who had deceived all these people!

Lucas leaned more toward the latter.

In his eyes, all dark attribute Beast Masters were, for the most part, potential threats.

Not everyone was like Ezra, the other dark attribute Beast Masters would be tempted to join the Constellation and become agents of evil!

It was because of these people that his beloved was attacked and lost her life!

If it weren't for the Constellation and the dark attribute Beast Masters, he wouldn't have lost the love of his life!

"Enough! Get Charles over here! Do I really have to go visit him?" Lucas's emotions began to spiral out of control.

He recalled some painful memories, his face void of expression.

The pressure of a level nine Beast Master silenced everyone in the room!

Jamie sighed and took out his phone, sending a message to Charles:

[Charles, you've caught Lucas's attention. He wants to meet you.]

Soon, a reply came back.

[I'm already on my way.]

At the entrance of the Genosha royal palace,

Charles looked at the grand doors before him, took a deep breath, and slowly walked inside.

Since there was no way to avoid it, he might as well face it head-on.

As a dark attribute Beast Master, there was nothing wrong with that! Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
