Chapter 289: Chapter 289: I’m Going to Pin You Down

The door to the café's private booth was opened, and Charles froze for a moment when he looked over.A girl appeared at the doorway, wearing small leather shoes, white lace long socks, and a pink dress.

"Little sister, did you go to the wrong booth?" Charles instinctively asked.

The girl in front of him looked no older than sixteen, giving Charles the impression that she posed no danger at all, she was simply an ordinary little girl!

Charles's first reaction was that she was definitely not from the underground world, she must have come to drink coffee and accidentally entered the wrong booth.

To his surprise, upon hearing Charles's words, the girl's face lit up with a happy, joyful smile as she walked further into the booth and even closed the door behind her.

She plopped down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and smiled brightly as she said:

"Big brother, I don't think I went to the wrong booth! Let's get acquainted, my name is Cecilia." As she spoke, Cecilia extended her hand, inviting Charles to shake hands.

Charles was a bit surprised as he shook her hand. He never expected that the person sent by the underground organization [Dawn] would be a girl who looked no older than fifteen or sixteen!

"Hello, I'm Charles." he introduced himself briefly.

Cecilia scrutinized Charles closely before continuing, "I know, you must have guessed the purpose of our meeting today, right?"

Charles nodded and spoke directly, "I've heard that [Dawn] has powerful intelligence capabilities. I was wondering if I could ask you about something. I can pay for the information."

"What? You're looking for information? Aren't you here to join us?" Cecilia immediately sat up straight, her eyes wide open, her face filled with disbelief.

She had always thought that Charles went to great lengths to complete the "Reaper's Scythe" challenge just to get in touch with [Dawn] and join them, becoming one of their own.

To her surprise, now that they had met, Charles's purpose was to inquire about information?

Cecilia was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

At that moment, Charles curiously asked again, "Is that not possible?"

"Of course! Yes! Absolutely!" Cecilia bit her lip.

Naturally, such things could be done. She deduced that Lucas must have drained some of Charles's life force, so she personally came to absorb Charles into the curse. She hadn't expected that Charles wasn't inclined toward that now, which left her a bit flustered.

A talent like this, if she couldn't absorb him and make him a partner, it would be a huge loss!

"What information do you want to know?" Cecilia's eyes darted around as she quickly sensed the key opportunity. She could leverage Charles's current need for information to manipulate him, slowly enticing him to join the [Dawn] organization!

With that thought, Cecilia relaxed her body again, comfortably lying back on the sofa and gazing at Charles.

Charles's mind was occupied with thoughts about the **Constellation** organization, the children who had died under the abandoned factory, and the red taboo miracle drug. Taking a deep breath, Charles slowly replied:

"I need to know about the **Constellation** organization and which factions in Genosha are colluding with them."

"Those? Well, such information isn't easy to obtain, it's quite valuable, and you can't afford it right now." Cecilia responded, feeling even more relaxed after hearing his request.

Cecilia recalled the information she had about Charles and began to ponder why he wanted to know this information.

She narrowed her focus, ultimately landing on the case of the missing children in Genosha.

"Those children? Is Charles doing this for the kids who were used as alchemy materials in that abandoned factory?" Cecilia thought to herself.

She found it hard to believe that if the information was correct, the reason for Charles investigating the **Constellation** organization was most likely due to this.

"Charles, you really are kind-hearted and have a strong sense of justice." Cecilia remarked with a hint of admiration.

Charles furrowed his brow. He couldn't tell if the other person was complimenting or mocking him.

In the world of Beast Master, a sense of justice and kindness weren't considered admirable qualities, only powerful strength mattered most.

Moreover, Charles didn't view himself as a kind person. When faced with danger and threats, he could be harsher than anyone else.

After all, he was someone who could inflict torture upon himself!

"So, you do know the relevant information? Just tell me what the price is." Charles said directly, his face serious.

Cecilia fell into deep thought. She wanted Charles to join [Dawn], so it couldn't be a one-time transaction, there must be potential for future developments between them!

Oh right, that S-level mission near Genosha Calivia might be just the thing for Charles!

That mission itself posed little danger and would take some time, allowing her to maintain contact with Charles through it.

Then, little by little, she could entice him, letting him see the power of [Dawn], ultimately absorbing him!

It was simply perfect!

With that thought, Cecilia couldn't help but wear a smug smile. She slowly began, "Charles, have you considered joining us? Don't rush to refuse, let me tell you more."

Cecilia shared some information about [Dawn]. They were spread throughout the Ethereal Grove, and since the Abyssal Depths was remote, the overall strength of Beast Masters there wasn't very high.

In the Abyssal Depths, [Dawn] had only three level nine Beast Masters, and she herself was an eight-level Beast Master. Not only that, but their intelligence capabilities were extraordinarily strong, they could even inform Charles of every move made by the emperor of Genosha!

Upon hearing this,

Charles fell into contemplation.

The fact that [Dawn] had three level nine Beast Masters in the Abyssal Depths was quite surprising!

Charles was well aware of the immense power of a level nine Beast Master. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After all, Lucas had left a deep impression on him, just his aura alone had severely injured Charles.

Not to mention Lucas's full strength, it would be a simple matter to destroy all of Genosha!

Three powerful Beast Masters in [Dawn]! And that's just in the Abyssal Depths, how many level nine Beast Masters are out there remains a mystery.

Moreover, the girl in front of him, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen, was actually an eight-level Beast Master!

Charles swallowed hard and slowly asked, "Uh, can I ask your age? An eight-level Beast Master in her teens is hard to believe."

"It's impolite to ask a lady's age, you know. So, what do you think? Do you want to consider joining us?" Cecilia replied with a grin, leisurely unwrapping a lollipop and popping it into her mouth.

Suddenly, something clicked in Charles's mind, and he quickly asked, "Do you know anything about my teacher, Ezra?"

"Ezra? Let me think." Cecilia took the lollipop out of her mouth and pretended to ponder.

Seeing Charles's anxious expression, she couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Don't worry, your teacher isn't in any life-threatening danger. Look at how tense you are, haha!"

Upon hearing this, Charles immediately felt relieved. As he looked at the cheerful eight-level Beast Master girl in front of him, one thought dominated his mind: she was unreliable. She gave off a very unreliable vibe!

"Let me think. What would be the cost of the information I wanted to know?" Charles asked again.

Cecilia suddenly found the lollipop in her mouth to be less sweet.

She sighed and replied, "It's simple. There's a task. If you can complete it, all the information you want will be yours."

"This task isn't dangerous at all, and you can terminate it at any time. Plus, once you agree, we can provide some information upfront."

Charles listened to Cecilia's response as he picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, deep in thought.

If what Cecilia said was true, it wouldn't be difficult for him. However, he couldn't trust everything that came from a Beast Master, he had to prepare for the worst.

He could ask Jamie Dean for help later to see if this so-called task was really that safe.

"I have one condition: if I sense any danger, I will abandon this so-called task immediately." Charles said as he set down his coffee.

Cecilia nodded, thinking to herself, "If you encounter danger, I'll be even more anxious than you. Just wait, Charles, we're going to secure you!"

The two left the café, and after a while,

Charles's phone rang again. He took out his phone and was momentarily stunned, then thoughtfully said:

"As expected, the Taylor family! You really are bold!"

A few minutes later,

Charles's figure appeared in Dean Jamie's office, where he relayed the information to Jamie.

"If the intelligence from [Dawn] is true, the Taylor family is indeed colluding with the [Constellation] organization! Damn it!" Jamie exclaimed as he stood up, his expression dark and grim.

An organization as cruel and evil as [Constellation] was the enemy of every Beast Master. It was shocking that the Taylor family had formed a partnership with them!

Looking at the information before him, Jamie took a deep breath and directly told Charles:

"You stay at the academy. I need to make a trip to the palace."

Your journey continues on M V L

Charles nodded, understanding that Jamie was going to discuss matters with Emperor Miles of Genosha. It seemed the good days for the Taylor family were about to come to an end!

Thinking back to Zane's arrogance, always looking for opportunities to deal with him, even wanting to back out of a duel after losing!

If it weren't for Teacher Ezra and Teacher Colton, Charles was sure he would have been assassinated by the Taylor family long ago.

A family like that, colluding with the [Constellation] organization, was truly despicable!
