In the Genosha Calivia, at the Taylor family villa.
Bailey Zhao was carefully lowering his head, tightly gripping the white quality supreme spear in his hands. Across from him sat Zane.
The son of the head of the Taylor family, the same Zane who had bowed his head and apologized to Charles at the Robinson family banquet.
At this moment, Zane was clearly unaware of what had happened in the royal treasury. Bailey Zhao had gone to the royal treasury to help Zane select a suitable weapon.
According to the experience of the Taylor family’s ancestors, this was clearly not a difficult task.
Under normal circumstances, it should at least be a purple quality weapon.
The Taylor family was not only tied to Benson but also had other factions. As Benson’s son, Zane currently had no better options. A purple quality weapon would already be more than satisfactory for him.
“Is this the purple quality supreme spear you selected? It should be that Bloodthirsty Supreme Spear, right? Why isn’t it the Toxic Dagger?” Zane asked, somewhat perplexed.
Members of the Taylor family also had to meet certain criteria to enter the royal treasury.
Just when Bailey Zhao was on the verge of asking, he successfully obtained the qualification with the help of the Taylor family.
“The Toxic Dagger was taken into the inner treasury by Charles, and I couldn’t get it.” Bailey Zhao still hadn’t revealed the truth of the matter, he was too afraid.
Zane took a deep breath. Whenever he thought of Charles’s name, his whole body would tremble, not from fear but from anger.
He said, “Charles! It’s always Charles. One day, I will repay the humiliation I bear tenfold to Charles!” Zane gritted his teeth as he spoke.
He reached out, wanting Bailey Zhao to hand over the supreme spear, but to his surprise, Bailey Zhao hesitated.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Zane sensed that something was off and asked.
Bailey Zhao’s legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground, trembling as he replied, “I had originally obtained the Flame Dagger, but, but I was deceived by Charles. This supreme spear is only of white quality.”
“What! White quality? You were allowed to enter the royal treasury, and you chose a white quality supreme spear?” Zane’s eyes widened, he simply couldn’t accept it!
While kneeling on the ground, Bailey Zhao explained what had happened in the treasury, of course omitting some details, mainly not mentioning his own foolishness and greed. He focused on Charles’s despicable and cunning nature.
“Damn it! Damn Charles, damn you! Did you provoke him?” Zane wasn’t foolish, he understood that Bailey Zhao must have initiated the confrontation with Charles.
Otherwise, Charles would never have gone out of his way to cause trouble.
“I didn’t! I just spoke the truth, Charles is just a commoner…” Before Bailey Zhao could finish his sentence, Zane kicked him to the ground, causing him to spit out blood.
“Commoner? Even if you consider him a commoner, his teacher in Beast Mastery training is Ezra! You idiot!” Zane was extremely angry.
He never expected that this time Bailey Zhao would bring it upon himself, and it would involve his weapon situation, leaving him with only a white quality supreme spear!
“Damn it! Damn it! Charles deserves to die, and so do you!” Zane repeatedly kicked at the fallen Bailey Zhao.
The blood that flowed pooled slowly on the smooth marble floor, reflecting Zane’s crazed expression fueled by anger.
He didn’t know how long it had been before he stopped and shouted angrily, “Charles! I will not let you off.”
“And that David Zheng! With the borders tense, someone from the Taylor family will definitely go to the border. At that time, I will make sure he knows the power of the Taylor family!”
Meanwhile, Charles, being targeted, was happily putting the Black Gold Long Knife back into his storage space.
After being enhanced by Xavier, the power of the Black Gold Long Knife had significantly increased!
Facing the fusion and conduction of three types of elemental energy, he felt no loss at all, and the activated Black Gold Knife Glow was much stronger than before.
However, against a level six Beast Master, it might still be somewhat lacking. After all, as time goes on, the gaps between Beast Masters become larger, making it increasingly difficult to battle above one’s level.
“It seems I need to ask Sadie for help soon, using her light attribute skills to practice multi-attribute energy fusion.” With that thought, Charles took out the newly acquired orange quality equipment from his storage space.
Wearing the Overlord Heavy Armor, Charles initially felt no pressure at all, the entire suit felt as light as a thin piece of clothing, not affecting his movements in the slightest.
As the weight was adjusted, Charles began to feel more strain, until he felt his muscles trembling with every step he took, at which point he stopped increasing the weight.
Afterward, dressed in the Overlord Heavy Armor, Charles entered the training room to begin his Beast Master training, along with physical exercise.
With every exertion, Charles could clearly feel the pain of his muscle fibers tearing, yet his face remained calm, showing no signs of discomfort.
By the time afternoon classes started, Charles still hadn’t taken off the Overlord Heavy Armor, instead, he put on a loose-fitting garment and headed to the classroom.
As soon as he entered, all the eyes of Class A were drawn to Charles, and they began whispering:
“I wonder what quality equipment Charles picked in the royal treasury.”
“I think a blue quality piece would be impressive, if he got a purple quality item, that would be a huge win!”
“Are you dreaming? Charles doesn’t have any family support, relying on himself, how could he possibly pick a purple quality item?”
“That’s true, for a commoner Beast Master, it takes a lot of luck. I heard that someone from the Taylor family also entered the royal treasury today, they definitely picked a purple quality item!”
“That’s a given, especially since it’s the Taylor family.”
Meanwhile, Charles was carefully distributing his weight onto his legs, knowing that if he didn’t, the chair would surely collapse under the weight when he sat down!
“Charles, I’m really curious about what kind of equipment you picked in the treasury today. Can you share?” Zachary asked, sitting behind Charles.
Camilla was nearby, and upon hearing Zachary, she eagerly chimed in, “I know, I know! I asked my father about it at lunch, and he told me. Charles, can I say?”
The last question was directed at Charles, clearly indicating that Camilla wanted to see his reaction, as it wasn’t proper etiquette to speak without permission from others.
Charles didn’t mind, the fact that Bailey Zhao and David Zheng already knew made it unnecessary to keep it a secret, so he nodded in agreement.
“Could it be that Charles really picked a purple quality item? That would be amazing.” Zachary seemed to have guessed something, he thought Charles must have chosen a purple item, which was why it needed to be kept a secret.
Unexpectedly, Camilla spoke up, “No, it’s an orange quality item! Even my father was surprised!”
“What! An orange quality item!” Zachary’s eyes widened, orange quality gear was extremely precious, even for someone like him.
Zachary, shocked, spoke a bit too loudly, catching the attention of nearby students, who exchanged glances filled with disbelief.
Someone said, “Is it true? Did Charles really pick an orange quality item? No way.”
“It must be true, just look at how shocked Zachary is. It doesn’t seem fake.”
“So that means Charles is already strong enough, and now with an orange quality item, how can anyone else compete?”
“Sigh, I wanted to challenge him, but now I don’t feel like it at all.”
“Don’t be discouraged! Even without gear, Charles could still easily defeat you!”
Throughout the afternoon class, there were whispers among the students, and even after the teacher corrected them multiple times, some still couldn’t contain their shock and continued talking to their neighbors.
Finally, as the class was nearing its end, Camilla turned her head, her big eyes blinking rapidly, and quietly said to Charles,
“Charles, you treated me to dinner yesterday, and today I want to treat you. Do you have time?”
Faced with Camilla’s invitation, Charles politely declined, he still needed to meet with Jace and Sadie, mainly to ask Sadie for help with training. However, he also realized he hadn’t contacted Jace in a while,
so he might as well meet them together later.
Camilla felt a bit disappointed by Charles’s rejection, and Zachary, with a smile, chimed in, “You can invite me! I have time.”
Camilla ignored Zachary, remaining silent.
Taking advantage of the fact that class hadn’t ended yet, Charles quietly pulled out his phone and sent messages to Jace and Sadie,
[Do you have time later? I’d like to grab dinner with you both.]
Soon, replies came back from both of them, indicating they were free.
In the evening, in a private room of the cafeteria on the second floor of Cyber Academy,
an excited Jace sat down right next to Charles and said, “Charles, I can’t tell you how envious I am of you! You’re amazing! In the past few days, news about you has spread all over Calivia!”
“Charles, you know, many people are offering high prices to buy your autograph from me, it’s almost driving me crazy!”
“Charles,…”
Charles felt a bit overwhelmed and quickly replied, “Enough about that, let’s eat first. After we finish, I have something I’d like to ask you both for help with.”
Jace immediately quieted down, his excitement becoming even more apparent, and even Sadie looked a bit curious.
Soon after they finished dinner, Charles began to speak, “So, here’s the deal: I mainly want to ask Sadie to help me with training, and in return, I will give you a revival pill for each session.”
Upon hearing this, Sadie’s eyes widened, as a green quality miracle drug, she had certainly heard of the revival pill. A newly opened treasure vault in Calivia was selling this miracle drug, and it was quite valuable.
After a moment of hesitation, Sadie asked, “Charles, what do you need me to do?”
