“Eight, Level 8 Beast Master!” Grace stuttered a bit, she could never have imagined that Charles had a Level 8 Beast Master as his teacher.
But that wasn’t all. Just as Rose finished speaking, her sister Camilla added:
“And he is the strongest Level 8 Beast Master in Genosha, bar none!”
Grace’s mouth fell open, and she couldn’t close it for a long time, clearly unable to accept this news.
She thought that becoming the personal disciple of the vice president of Aredale Academy would completely distance her from Charles.
Little did she know that Charles’s teacher was even more powerful, to a degree she couldn’t even believe!
Zane, who was on the phone, reacted similarly. He had also heard Rose’s words.
He nearly fell to the ground, as the shock hit him the hardest!
As he took out his phone, Zane’s hands were trembling. Even the simple task of unlocking it took him several attempts as he kept inputting the wrong password.
“Dad, do you know Ezra?” Zane had a glimmer of hope in his heart, wishing that the information Rose provided was false.
Benson replied on the other end of the line, “Yes, why? Did you offend Ezra? You ungrateful child!”
Zane didn’t have a chance to say anything, Benson had already guessed what was going on. He knew his son’s character too well, and if he was calling, it surely meant trouble had arisen!
“Where are you? I’m coming over right now. You better explain what happened!” Benson’s angry voice came through the phone.
Zane felt his body go weak and sank down to the ground, drawing in his neck. All his arrogance was gone,
leaving behind only fear!
The fact that his father, the head of the Taylor family, was so scared he had to rush over meant that Charles’s Beast Mastery teacher, Ezra, was clearly terrifying!
Meanwhile, the head of the Robinson family, Lance Lin, exchanged glances with his brother Shane Line, both wearing grim expressions.
They hadn’t expected that Charles was actually Ezra’s apprentice, as well as Colton’s apprentice. Now they had angered two untouchable figures, what terrible luck!
“Brother, what should we do now? Ezra is a killing god!” Shane Line was filled with panic, unsure of what to do.
Those who had never heard of Ezra had no idea how terrifying he truly was. If there was anyone in Genosha not to be messed with, it wasn’t the Taylor family or even the Emperor of Genosha, it was Ezra!
The one known as the killing god, Ezra!
Lance Lin took a deep breath, trying hard to keep himself calm, and replied,
“I didn’t expect Charles to have such a significant background! Now we have no other choice but to try and see if we can gain Charles’s forgiveness.”
Just as the two were discussing, a loud voice suddenly echoed from the entrance of the Robinson family, “Ungrateful child! Where are you?”
The person who arrived was none other than Benson, the head of the Taylor family!
Benson scanned the room and finally spotted Zane, who was slumped on the ground.
He quickly rushed over to Zane and, without saying a word, slapped him across the face.
“Smack!”
“I told you to control your temper, but you never listen! You’re always causing trouble out there!” Benson looked at the blood trickling from his son’s mouth and took a deep breath, forcing down his anger.
“Dad, I’m sorry.” Zane said, his face stinging from the slap. He realized that Benson was genuinely angry now and began to beg for forgiveness.
Benson completely ignored Zane’s apology and directly grabbed his collar, dragging Zane in front of Colton. “Mr. Colton, it’s my fault for not properly disciplining this ungrateful child!”
Colton didn’t respond. He stepped aside, allowing Charles’s figure to come into Benson’s view, and said, “The person you should be looking for isn’t me.”
Benson tightened his grip on Zane’s collar, pulling him forward a few more steps. With a stiff, pained smile on his face, he addressed Charles,
“Everything that happened today is this ungrateful child’s fault. Charles, I didn’t discipline him well. I apologize to you. I’m sorry.”
Charles was somewhat surprised by Benson’s words. He never expected such an outcome.
The head of the Taylor family was actually apologizing to him in front of so many people.
What had Teacher Ezra done to make the usually arrogant Taylor family so fearful?
“No need for the apology. Zane just shouldn’t forget the promise he made.” Charles replied, not dwelling on it.
He certainly wouldn’t forget Zane kneeling and admitting his mistake just because of Benson’s apology.
Hearing Charles’s words, Benson hesitated not a moment. He kicked Zane to the ground and shouted, “Ungrateful child! Aren’t you going to admit your mistake?”
Zane numbly dropped to his knees, not daring to look up at Charles.
He fixed his gaze on the dust in front of him, as if he had lost his soul, and slowly spoke, “I was wrong.”
His confession was loud, clearly wanting to end this humiliating scene as quickly as possible.
Charles’s gaze did not linger on Zane. He scanned the crowd around him.
Those who had previously mocked him now dared not meet his eyes, all lowering their heads in shame.
“Charles, how about now? Is it settled?” Benson asked, suppressing his anger and humiliation.
Charles nodded and replied, “What I wanted is quite simple. Just fulfill what was promised, I have no other demands.”
The matter was now resolved.
Benson sighed in relief as he looked at Zane, who was still lying on the ground with vacant eyes.
He felt a pang of sympathy, but there was nothing to be done. The situation had to be addressed clearly, otherwise, if Ezra found a suitable excuse and reason, the Taylor family would be finished!
Benson didn’t linger any longer. He helped Zane to his feet and walked toward the entrance of the Robinson family home.
With each passing second, Benson felt the gazes of others piercing him like sharp needles.
It wasn’t until Benson left that the guests at the Robinson family banquet dared to speak.
“Damn, I can’t believe my eyes. Was that really Benson, the head of the Taylor family? He actually bowed his head to Charles?”
“Who is this Ezra? Why does the Taylor family fear him so much?”
“I have no idea, I’ve never heard of him.”
“After today, I doubt anyone in Genosha will dare to mess with Charles!”
“Who would dare to provoke Charles? Even Zane, who is so unruly, ended up kneeling to admit his mistakes in front of him!”
“Charles is a decent guy. I’ve never seen him actively looking for trouble, it always seems like others provoke him first.”
“Exactly, and Charles even defended David Zheng. He’s right, a warrior shouldn’t be humiliated!”
“Look, the head of the Robinson family is coming over!”
Lance Lin and Shane Line slowly approached Charles under the gaze of the crowd and said, “Charles, the Robinson family is at fault. We wronged you, and it was all instigated by Zane.”
Charles looked at Lance Lin and Shane Line with interest. Now they were willing to admit their mistakes?
It was a bit laughable, before knowing that Colton and Ezra were his teachers, they had been eager to shift the blame onto him.
Wanting to avoid confronting Zane, they chose to provoke him instead?
“Charles, as compensation, the Robinson family is willing to offer you an additional piece of orange-quality metal material.” Lance Lin said slowly.
Charles waved his hand and directly refused, “No need. I don’t want to have any further dealings with you big families. Let’s leave it at that.”
Colton stood beside Charles and nodded in agreement, acknowledging Charles’s sentiment.
People from these prominent families were not easy to get along with. He was only here because he had been invited, forced to attend the Robinson family banquet.
Now, the carefully prepared banquet by the Robinson family had turned into a complete disaster.
After Charles and Colton left,
Lance Lin and Shane Line exchanged glances, sighing repeatedly. They both felt immense regret, if they had known about Charles’s situation, they would never have treated him that way.
What would happen once Ezra returned?
If Ezra got angry and came to the Robinson family demanding an explanation, the Robinson family would have no way to respond.
“Brother, should we try again? If we can mend the relationship, with Ezra’s and Colton’s support, it would be hard for the Robinson family to become weak in the future!” Shane Line said, unwilling to give up.
Lance Lin turned his gaze toward the direction of Cyber Academy, sighed again, and replied, “Let’s wait and see. Maybe we can ask Hale for help, I’ve heard he has a good relationship with Charles.”
“Ask him? Brother! He has already severed ties with our Robinson family!” Shane Line exclaimed, his eyes wide in disbelief at Lance Lin’s suggestion.
Lance Lin helplessly raised his hands and said, “Is there any other better option? We can only try this and hope Hale remembers a bit of old friendship.”
Thinking of this, Lance Lin looked around again. The Robinson family had spent a considerable amount for this banquet, and now, before it had even officially started, it was already over.
Those attending the banquet couldn’t wait to share their experiences online as soon as they returned.
However, only a portion of the information was shared, everyone tacitly chose to forget the videos of the Taylor family admitting their mistakes and did not share them.
The Taylor family couldn’t afford to provoke Charles, but finding out who spread those videos would be easy. When that time came, they would have to face the Taylor family’s retaliation!
Even just the text messages and a few scattered photos were enough to cause a stir online.
The topic of Charles was spreading rapidly at an astonishing speed across the internet.
In just a few short minutes, all the trending topics on Genosha’s network were related to Charles!
Meanwhile, Charles, who was being discussed by countless people, had already returned to Cyber Academy.
He was in his dormitory, looking at the two additional orange-quality items in his hands.
[Flame Alloy [Orange Quality]: A rare metal material with fire attributes, which can be used for weapon forging and enhancement.]
[High-Level Support Training Miracle Drug [Orange Quality]: This is a potion that aids in training. Once used, it rapidly enhances the user’s Beast Master training speed for a period of half a month!]
