Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints-Chapter 494 : Chia Chamber of Commerce

"This gentleman, aren't you going to ask about the price? I only need 30 silver coins, and I can take you to visit some of the most famous attractions in the City of Harmony or let you try some of the local specialties..." The young girl hurriedly spoke as she caught up with Charles.

Charles slowed his pace slightly, took out 30 silver coins from his jet ring, and handed them directly to the girl. Then, he said plainly,

"I'm not interested in that. Where is the largest chamber of commerce in the City of Harmony? I want to buy something."

He wanted to see if the City of Harmony had Wind Dew or Gold Essence, or at least some information about them.

The girl carefully counted the coins Charles handed her, making sure the amount was correct before cautiously placing them into her pocket. Then, she looked at Charles with a curious expression, examining his attire.

To her, Charles' clothing was extremely ordinary, nothing valuable just the usual outfit of a commoner. Yet, he directly asked for the largest chamber of commerce in the City of Harmony, which surprised her.

However, the girl didn't question him further. After thinking for a moment, she began explaining,

"There are many chambers of commerce and auction houses in the City of Harmony, but the most famous one is the Chia Chamber of Commerce, run by the Tomosthe Wayne Family. They sell a vast variety of items, including all kinds of alchemy materials, forging materials, mystical beast eggs, and more."

"Please follow me. It's not far from here. If you're not in a hurry, I recommend walking. The taxi fares in the City of Harmony are quite high not really worth it unless necessary."

The girl was clearly a competent guide, well versed in the City of Harmony. Charles hadn't expected to hear about the Tomosthe Wayne Family here.

The last time he had heard of this family was back in Genosha Calivia, at a banquet where he had encountered a Level 5 Beast Master, Wayne.

By this time, the girl was already leading the way ahead. Charles, watching her, suddenly recalled something and asked with curiosity,

"Earlier, you said those men beat you up, yet you didn't report them to the sheriff? Why?"

Back when those three fierce looking men appeared, the girl had instinctively trembled, clearly fearful of them.

"I need money," she said firmly. "Even if I report them to the sheriff, they'll at most be locked up for a few days it's pointless. Besides, the guiding fees I charge are much lower than theirs. If I report them, it would affect their income. By not reporting them, I don't owe them anything."

Her posture was exceptionally straight, and her tone was unwavering.

She was a strong willed person.

Charles made a quick assessment in his mind but didn't say much. Everyone had their struggles in life. If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't interfere.

The young girl seemed to be encouraged by Charles' question and took the initiative to speak.

"Sir, you can just call me Orion. It will take about ten more minutes to walk to Chia Chamber of Commerce. In the meantime, you can check out the street stalls along the way. If you see anything you like, I can help you bargain so you won't get ripped off," she said enthusiastically.

Despite her young age, she was clearly an excellent guide, even thinking about helping her customers negotiate prices.

Unfortunately, Charles had no interest in the street stalls. Right now, all he wanted to know was whether Chia Chamber of Commerce had Wind Dew or Gold Essence, or at least some information about them.

As he followed Orion in the direction of the Chia Chamber of Commerce, Charles noticed that many people seemed to recognize her. Every few steps, someone would greet her.

His hearing was sharp, and he could hear people around him whispering:

"Poor Orion… So young, yet she has to work so hard every day. Her brother disappeared for a long time, and when he finally came back, he was seriously injured and nearly died."

"Yeah… I don't know what happened. Wasn't he a Level 5 Beast Master? How could he end up like this?"

"No idea. I just heard he went to Celestial City to make money. Who would've thought he'd nearly lose his life? He only came back a week or two ago."

"Sigh, Orion is such a polite and hardworking kid. She's always been helpful. It's really heartbreaking that she has to go through this."

Hearing these whispers, Charles began to piece things together. So, the money problem Orion mentioned was because of her brother the Level 5 Beast Master who was now gravely injured?

In the world of Beast Masters, battles were inevitable. Some survived but ended up severely wounded. If their contracted mystical beasts were all lost in battle, they would be left crippled, no different from an ordinary person.

The only way to recover would be through expensive miracle drugs, slowly healing their bodies, and then somehow forming new contracts with mystical beasts, training again, and regaining their former strength. Only then could they have a chance to become a real Beast Master once more.

What caught Charles' attention was the location the bystanders mentioned Celestial City.

He recalled that the two Map Fragments in his possession pointed to a particular place the Fallen Land of the Ancient Gods Beast which was located in Celestial City's Infinity Isles.

Celestial City was enormous. There was no way Orion's brother had just returned from Infinity Isles, right?

The probability was far too low. It was unlikely to be related to the Map Fragments, let alone the Fallen Land of the Ancient Gods Beast. After all, there were only three Map Fragments in total two were in his possession, and the third was with his teacher, Colton.

No one else should even know about the Fallen Land of the Ancient Gods Beast.

As Orion led the way, she seemed to notice Charles lost in thought and instinctively slowed her pace slightly, ensuring the distance between them didn't grow too far.

Despite her difficult circumstances, there was no despair on her face. Instead, her small features were filled with determination.

"Sir, we're almost there. Chia Chamber of Commerce is just ahead," Orion gently reminded him.

Charles nodded and shifted his gaze forward. Not far away, a lavish three story building gleamed under the lights. A golden plaque hung prominently above the entrance, with four large, shimmering characters: [Chia Chamber of Commerce].

At the entrance stood eight elegant hostesses, all dressed in sleek black business attire. Each of them was around 1.75 meters tall, with striking figures that naturally drew the attention of every passerby.

"Sir, would you like me to accompany you inside, or should I wait for you out here? Don't worry, I won't leave," Orion asked softly.

As Charles strode toward the entrance of Chia Chamber of Commerce, he replied casually,

"Waiting outside would be boring. Come in with me. By the way, I heard someone mention that you have a brother a Level 5 Beast Master who's seriously injured and just returned from Celestial City?"

Orion clearly hesitated for a moment, but she quickly caught up with Charles. This time, however, instead of walking ahead as before, she kept a straight face and fell slightly behind him by one step.

"Yes," she answered. "My brother returned from the Infinity Isles in Celestial City. He nearly died on the way back. That's why I'm so determined to earn money I want to heal him as soon as possible."

Charles' footsteps faltered briefly, but he quickly resumed his normal pace. In his mind, he repeated her words:

"Celestial City… Infinity Isles…"

Could it really be such a coincidence?

Hearing Celestial City and Infinity Isles, his thoughts immediately drifted to the Fallen Land of the Ancient Gods Beast the location indicated by his Map Fragments.

He couldn't help but feel a hint of unease. If others had already discovered that place, it would undoubtedly lead to trouble.

Since Orion's brother had just returned from Infinity Isles, he must have valuable information about the area. If the opportunity arose, Charles intended to find and question him.

He didn't want to wait for Colton to hand over the final Map Fragment, only to reach Infinity Isles and find that someone had beaten him to it, leaving nothing behind.

As he pondered this, a few soft yet alluring female voices rang out:

"Good evening, esteemed guest. Welcome to Chia Chamber of Commerce."

At the entrance, the elegantly dressed hostesses greeted him with warm yet perfectly measured smiles.

Charles gave a slight nod, barely pausing, and strode directly into the chamber.

At the same time, another pair a man and a woman arrived beside him. Their extravagant attire immediately set them apart from ordinary people.

A hostess stepped forward from the welcoming line, gracefully curtsied, extended her arm, and said,

"Good evening, esteemed guests. Welcome to Chia Chamber of Commerce. Allow me to guide you inside."

She then began leading the finely dressed couple into the depths of the chamber.

Orion followed closely behind Charles, glancing at the elegant hostesses guiding other guests inside. Then, she looked at Charles standing alone, unnoticed, without anyone welcoming him.

"Ah… Everyone else gets a beautiful guide, but this gentleman has no one. Most people would probably feel slighted in this situation. I just hope he doesn't cause trouble later," she thought with a bit of concern.

However, she soon noticed something odd Charles' expression didn't change at all.

It was as if he hadn't even registered what had just happened. He continued walking forward, completely indifferent.

Orion assumed he was simply hiding his displeasure.

"As long as there's no conflict, that's all that matters," she reassured herself.

With that thought in mind, she followed Charles into the Chia Chamber of Commerce.

The moment they stepped inside, a dazzling array of items filled the grand hall weapons, armor, alchemy materials, forging components, miracle drugs, and even mystical beast eggs all openly displayed, overwhelming the senses with sheer variety.
