"Are you saying that the Taylor family has sent people to hide the rtives of those children? And it seems they''ve also asked them to nder Charles?"


    In the dean''s office, Jamie looked at thetest news, his expression darkening significantly.


    He never expected the Taylor family to be so shameless, resorting to such tactics to provoke Charles.


    While Jamie was confident in Charles''s mindset, he knew that this kind of situation would be uneptable to any normal person.


    After all, who could imagine that someone they once helped would choose to harm their benefactor?


    "Dean, I''ve already sent people to investigate where those individuals are being held, and we should have concrete information soon."Hale replied.


    He said this, but deep down, Hale understood that they were likely running out of time.


    The Taylor family''s actions this time were very covert and swift, and it was estimated that it wouldn''t be long before they appeared directly in the online media.


    Jamie had just seen on his phone that there were already numerous reports indicating that this afternoon, there would be direct evidence proving that all those topics were true,


    and it would be live!


    "Well, we''ll just do our best. I actually think it''s better this way. The real world of the Beast Master is just as cruel and filled with betrayal."Jamie said slowly.


    Especially when he emphasized the word "betrayal."he looked directly at Hale.


    Hale instantly fell silent, he lowered his head, staring nkly, clearly lost in thought.


    After a while, he finally raised his head again, his gaze firm as he replied:


    "I still want to do everything I can to prevent this, Dean. Out of so many rtives, only two people agreed to the Taylor family''s demands. This world isn''t as terrible as you say."


    "I know you''ve always felt that way, but Hale, the achievements that Charles will attain in the future are beyond our imagination. He needs to experience certain things early on to go further."Jamie disagreed.


    He wanted to use this opportunity to make Charles understand that the world isn''t so beautiful.


    Wanting to be a powerful Beast Master requires more than just talent.


    It also demands a clear understanding of this world.


    Otherwise, he would surely be deceived and betrayed, and he might even lose his future and fall into despair.


    Thinking of this, Jamie looked at Hale once more and asked, "Do you want Charles to be like you?"


    Those words struck a nerve with Hale. He opened his mouth to retort but found himself at a loss for words.


    "It''s been seven years, Hale. That incident happened seven years ago, and you still haven''t moved on."Jamie said, showing no regard for Hale''s feelings.


    He was not only considering Charles but also hoping to push Hale out of his predicament.


    "Charles is very much like you, you''re both kind-hearted individuals who easily trust others. But people like that can get hurt more easily, trapped in ce, unable to move forward."Jamie continued.


    Hale slowly lowered his head and replied, "Dean, Charles is different from me. He is more aware and resilient than I am. I''m just worried it will affect his state of mind."


    "This is reality, Hale. You should think about it carefully when you go back."Jamie''s tone was firm.


    One Ezra, one Hale,


    Both of them had fallen to their current state because of betrayal.


    Hale was once hailed as the genius known as the Pride of the Wind!


    He became a Level 6 Beast Master in his twenties and even contracted a legendary-quality mystical beast!


    Now, seven years have passed, and he remains a Level 6 Beast Master, stuck in ce, having given up on moving forward.


    Jamie didn''t know the full details about Ezra, but there were rumors from the headquarters that he had also been betrayed, leading to his decline into an eighth-level Beast Master, looking like a shell of his former self.


    Now, Jamie wanted Charles to experience this early on, even if it would affect him.


    Jamie believed that a short pain was better than a long one. After suffering once, he would be cautious and would not end up like Ezra or Hale.


    At that moment, Charles was in the trial tower.


    He was already standing before the stone wall, havingprehended 22 figures, with only 8 figures left to understand. Experience tales at m v|l e''-NovelBin


    He had also begun to control the progress of hisbat techniques:


    [Unknown Technique (1) in progress, 85%]


    [Unknown Technique (2) in progress, 84%]


    [Unknown Technique (3) in progress, 83%]


    ...


    [Unknown Technique (22) in progress, 45%]


    Except for the most recentlyprehendedbat techniques, which had rtively low progress, the others ranged between 80% and 85%.


    There were still 8 figures on the stone wall that he had not yetprehended, but Charles was confident he could master them all by tomorrow.


    Then, within three days, he aimed to bring all hisbat techniques'' progress to 99%.


    After that, he would need to fulfill the necessary condition for creating his ownbat techniques: engaging in a life-and-death battle, where he could grasp his own originalbat techniques in the midst of a life-threatening crisis!


    However, it all depended on whether the higher levels of the trial tower could present Charles with a significant sense of life-and-death crisis.


    If not, he would have to go into the underground octagonal cage and battle those top-tier Level 4 Beast Masters.


    Charles recalled the one-armed boy he had encountered that day, even a mere nce had given him a considerable sense of danger.


    If he were to fight that one-armed boy, it would surely be extremely dangerous, but that was exactly what Charles needed.


    No one could be a true powerhouse without facing dangers along the way. The training of a Beast Master has never been merely about cultivation, it also involves constantly confronting various crises and challenges, oveing everything in the process!


    Charles was still deep in thought about his future ns and when to sign up for the "Reaper''s Scythe" challenge.


    What he didn''t know was that, at that moment, the inte was already buzzing with discussions.


    Countlessizens were eagerly debating matters concerning Charles.


    "Charles just became a Level 4 Beast Master, and he''s going to challenge Reaper''s Scythe? I think those discussions are spot on, such an arrogant person can''t possibly be a hero!"


    "Exactly! I agree with that viewpoint. He just feels exposed and wants to struggle desperately in this way!"


    "I bet that even if Charles signs up, he''ll give up quickly!"


    "You bunch of losers, what are you saying? Come on, if you have the guts, duel me! I know Charles, he''s not like that!"


    "What duel? Look at you getting all worked up, flustered. If you can''t argue back, you want to resort to violence, right?"


    "I''m a Level 4 Beast Master, are you brave enough to duel me?"


    "Cyber Academy, ss A student, Jace. I''m a Level 3 Beast Master, and I''ming to find you right now!"


    ...


    Many people just wanted to watch Charles, who was hailed as a monster at Cyber Academy, be a target of scorn. There were also some talents from prominent families who had long been displeased with Charles.


    They wanted to take this opportunity to see someone with better talent and strength than them fall at their feet.


    Only then would these individuals feel satisfied.


    The overwhelming majority of opinions online were pessimistic about Charles, viewing him as a false genius.


    Some even questioned whether Charles''smoner status was also a lie.


    They imed he wasbeled amoner just to win people over and gain their sympathy!


    Once this theory was brought up, many agreed with it. Their reasoning was simr: if Charles were truly amoner, he could never have essed so much knowledge about Beast Mastery.


    Moreover, the quality of mystical beasts is exceptionally high, along with some high-quality weapons and equipment.


    These are not things that an ordinary person can possess. Charles must be hiding his true identity!


    In the royal pce of Genosha Calivia,


    Cami anxiously waited at the door, pacing back and forth, feeling extremely restless.


    She had already seen the news online and had thought more than once about asking her father, Miles, for help.


    However, it seemed like Miles was oblivious and had not given her a concrete response.


    "Your Highness, the Second Princess, His Majesty is still busy, you should go attend your sses at Cyber Academy for now."a minister approached and said.


    Cami bit her lip and replied firmly, "No, I won''t go back. I will wait here for Father."


    "What''s the point of this? His Majesty has his reasons for acting this way. Princess, you should really leave."the minister urged.


    He also knew that with such a significant online uproar, the Genosha royal family would typically intervene.


    To his surprise, there had been no movement on that front until now.


    "I will wait right here."Cami insisted. She was determined to help Charles, thosements online were simply outrageous!


    Moreover, after learning that Charles was going to participate in the "Reaper''s Scythe" challenge.


    Cami felt even more anxious. She instinctively thought that Charles wanted to prove himself because of thosements, which led him to choose this path.


    In her view, if they could resolve thosements, Charles wouldn''t have to take the risk of participating in the "Reaper''s Scythe" challenge.


    She wasn''t the only one worried about Charles.


    Zachary was also in his father''s study, seeking help from General Mason.


    "Let''s wait and see for now, Jamie hasn''t made any moves, and I don''t want to interfere."Mason replied directly.


    On the other side,


    Celestine was also doing her best. She had reached out to many of Charles''s fans, tirelessly rifying online that those negativements were nders and that someone was maliciously attacking Charles.


    However, the effect was minimal, most of the online public wouldn''t calm down to think rationally, instead, they simply followed the trend, venting their emotions online.


    The situation grew increasingly intense, and everyone was waiting for the uing live stream.


    They anticipated that whatever Charles did would be exposed.


    "Just wait and see, what kind of hero is he to save anyone? Charles doesn''t deserve it at all!"


    "Yeah, I heard that the families of those children sent representatives to reveal the truth about the situation. Soon we''ll know just how hypocritical Charles really is!"


    "Charles must be really scared right now. Will he even watch the live streamter?"


    At that moment, Charles walked out of the trial tower, looking exhausted.
