“Is that you, Charles? What’s going on? Is there something you need?” Jamie said, noticing it was Charles who entered, sounding a bit puzzled.
Charles didn’t waste any words and went straight to Dean Jamie’s desk, placing his laptop on it.
He began, “Dean, I’ve discovered something very important in the past few days…”
As Charles explained the background of the situation, he detailed how he had discovered and pinpointed the enemies.
Jamie listened intently, maintaining a calm expression. However, when he heard Charles speculate that the adversaries possessed dark attribute stealth skills.
His expression suddenly changed drastically. He became exceptionally serious and spoke in a more earnest tone, “Charles, is everything you just said true? Are you certain they have dark attribute stealth skills?”
Charles nodded without any hesitation and said, “People have seen it. They directly took the children from the shadows, it’s definitely dark attribute stealth skills!”
“Dark attribute, children, dark attribute, children…” Jamie kept muttering to himself.
At that moment, Charles voiced his lingering doubts, “But there’s one thing I’ve never been able to understand: what is their purpose in abducting these children?”
“They’re just ordinary kids from regular families. What could they possibly be useful for?” ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
It seemed Jamie suddenly had a realization. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Colton’s number, asking, “You mentioned to me before how that bottle of ‘Red Corruption Potion’ was concocted. What were the key materials involved?”
Colton replied over the phone, “Pure blood, and pieces of the blessed one’s flesh, as well as…”
“Stop, stop, stop! What does ‘pure blood’ refer to? Does the blood of children count?” Jamie quickly asked.
Colton explained, “Of course it does. The blood of younger children is purer, and they have fewer thoughts and negative emotions. It qualifies as pure blood and can be used to neutralize the effects brought by the blessed…”
Before Colton could finish, Jamie abruptly hung up the phone. He suddenly turned to Charles, locking eyes with him, and asked again.
“Charles, are you absolutely certain it’s that abandoned factory? Those people, those missing children, are inside?”
Charles nodded and replied, “That’s correct. I’m about eighty percent sure. I’ve analyzed the locations where those disappearances occurred and the information about the missing people. It should be accurate!”
“That’s good to hear. You won’t need to go later. The follow-up on this matter will be very dangerous, so you should stay at the academy.” Jamie said slowly.
Charles was startled by this. In his original thoughts, Jamie might send a few Level 7 Beast Masters to assist him.
Now, from Dean Jamie’s words, it seemed he intended to take matters into his own hands?
Charles had also heard the information from the phone call.
He never expected that those missing children might have their blood drawn to concoct the “Red Corruption Potion”!
How utterly insane! It was outrageous!
“Oh, and Charles, inform Zachary and Camilla to recall all deployed personnel to avoid alerting the enemy. We’ll handle the rest.” Jamie said as he walked to the door.
“We?” Charles wondered, sending a message to Zachary and Camilla. He was puzzled, he couldn’t think of who else could be involved.
“Yes, it’s us, including Nathaniel and the royal family!” Jamie answered.
He didn’t have time to say more and activated “Beast Mastery.” bringing Charles along as they shot through the air toward the palace like a meteor!
By the time Charles realized what had happened, he found himself in a pitch-black conference room.
Jamie said, “I’ve already notified everyone. Charles, please share your screen and explain everything clearly.”
“Explain? Do you want me to repeat what I just said?” Charles asked.
Jamie replied, “Yes. There are only a few people who can be here in person, and if everyone gets involved, the hidden enemy might catch wind of it.”
Charles was now thinking that he might be involved in something major again.
Anyone of the same status as Dean Jamie would likely be on par with Nathaniel, either an Level 8 Beast Master or an important member of the royal family.
In front of these people, Charles felt no nervousness at all.
Soon, two figures entered the conference room and took seats at the back. Due to the lack of lighting, Charles couldn’t see their faces clearly.
“The equipment is set up, we can begin!” Jamie announced.
Charles remained calm, his demeanor steady and collected, without a hint of tension. He explained the situation again in a clear, straightforward manner.
When Charles finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent. After a moment, someone finally spoke up, saying:
“Jamie, did you call this emergency meeting just for laughs? What credibility does a Level 3 Beast Master have?”
“Shut up! Don’t you understand the severity of the situation? I’ve already told you before that those people have set their sights on Genosha Calivia!” Jamie retorted angrily.
“That’s just your guess! You’re scared out of your wits over a single forbidden potion?” the person continued, mocking.
Jamie clenched his fists tightly. If the person hadn’t been right in front of him, he would have already taken action!
“Enough! Let’s get to the vote. If you have any thoughts, voice them directly!” a commanding voice came from the speakers.
The results came in quickly. Charles couldn’t see them, but he noticed Jamie exhale in relief, realizing that the motion must have passed.
What happened next was no longer relevant to Charles.
Jamie had more to handle. He originally planned to find someone from the royal family to take Charles back, but considering the risk, he decided instead to let Charles stay at the palace for the night!
By the time Charles reached his resting place, it was already nine o’clock at night.
At that moment, Charles was very curious about what the outcome of these missing children’s cases would ultimately be.
Countless bigwigs were worried and distracted by this issue. He had heard that authoritative voice before, he remembered it was during Genosha’s annual National Day celebration, standing at the highest podium, addressing the nation.
The severity of the situation had exceeded Charles’s imagination. He was also self-aware, he was just a Level 3 Beast Master at the moment.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Charles instinctively became alert. Unexpectedly, a voice came from outside—it was Camilla. “Charles, Charles, are you in there?”
He opened the door and stepped outside. He saw Camilla standing in the hallway with a group of maids and asked, “How did you know I was here?”
Camilla smiled but didn’t answer the question. Instead, she said, “Charles, my father just asked me what exactly happened.”
Charles recalled that authoritative voice and felt it was not the right time to say anything. It wasn’t time to discuss it yet, they would have to wait until Jamie and the others resolved the situation to ensure there were no further complications.
“This matter is a bit complicated to explain for now, it will be clearer tomorrow.” Charles replied.
“Tomorrow, huh? Alright, Charles, since this is your first time at the palace, would you like me to give you a tour?” Camilla invited Charles to step out for a walk.
However, Charles wasn’t in the mood for that and directly declined Camilla’s invitation.
He returned to his room, took off his clothes, and lay in the bathtub, his mind racing!
Charles could guess a bit about the people who attended the emergency meeting today, they were the top combat forces and important figures within Genosha.
Thinking about the false documents from the security office, he felt a flicker of doubt.
Could any of the people present today be connected to the force that had kidnapped the children?
Jamie calling an emergency meeting directly suggested he might not have considered this angle or perhaps had other plans.
What was it that made Jamie so anxious?
What consequences would the emergence of the “Red Corruption Potion” bring?
Countless thoughts flooded Charles’s mind. He was feeling quite exhausted today—not physically, but mentally.
A simple missing persons case had unexpectedly escalated into something so serious.
Charles began to feel uneasy. He thought that being a Level 3 Beast Master was too weak, he needed to focus on raising his Beast Master level!
Originally, he had planned to save that bottle of “Advanced Auxiliary Training Potion” for later.
Now it seemed he couldn’t put it off any longer. Tomorrow, once everything was resolved, he would use it right away to speed up his Beast Master training!
As Charles was lost in thought, he fell into a deep sleep.
Not long after, a loud explosion jolted him awake. Without a moment to think, Charles rushed to the balcony and looked outside.
He saw towering flames erupting from the direction of the abandoned factory.
From time to time, he heard sounds resembling bomb explosions.
Watching such a scene of battle, Charles tightly gripped the railing of the balcony. He knew all too well that if he were on such a battlefield, he would surely die!
The fight between a Level 7 Beast Master and a Level 8 Beast Master was something he wasn’t even qualified to witness!
“I need to raise my strength as soon as possible. At this rate, I could also get my hands on a second piece of orange-quality rare metal. If there are no other distractions, my Beast Master training speed will increase significantly!”
“I also need to set aside my understanding of combat techniques. And I should talk to Teacher Colton about reducing my class hours!”
As Charles watched the sounds of battle gradually die down, he plotted his short-term goals.
Now that he couldn’t sleep, Charles began his Beast Master training right there in his room!
About two hours later, Jamie’s voice came from outside the door.
“Charles, get ready, I’m taking you to see the scene!”
“Dean, has the battle ended? What happened?” Charles asked as he got up and headed for the door.
Jamie sounded slightly regretful as he replied, “Unfortunately, we let the biggest fish get away!”
