Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints-Chapter 527: Calista Makes Her Move
Thick walls of earth continued to form in front of Cassian. At this moment, he was in a state of complete panic, his body instinctively trying to evade. However, no matter how much he shifted his position, he could not escape Charles's lock on!

"Damn it, I surrender this battle!" Cassian shouted loudly. No one mocked him for his weakness or panic, because the pressure radiating from Charles had already made everyone else feel the impending danger.
"My God, is this the kind of attack a Level 4 Beast Master can generate?"
"Unbelievable! It's hard to even imagine. If Cassian tried to take this head on, he wouldn't stand a chance!"
"Yeah, where did this Level 4 Beast Master come from? I've never heard of someone this strong before!"
"Exactly! Even if he's only a Level 4 Beast Master, defeating a Level 6 Beast Master with that kind of strength should have made him famous!"
"Could he be from some other region, or even from a remote country? That would explain why we've never heard of him."
"Impossible. A talent like this could never come from a small nation. There's no way they could nurture someone like him."
Facing the surrounding discussions, Charles's face remained expressionless. His gaze remained firmly fixed on Cassian. At the beginning of the battle, Cassian's Supreme Spear had been clearly aimed at him, directed straight at his chest.
If Charles's strength hadn't been so overwhelming, if he were just an average Level 4 Beast Master, he would have been lying on the ground by now, unaware of whether he was alive or dead.
Therefore, when launching his final attack, Charles didn't hold back. He used all his power without hesitation. Whether Cassian could withstand the five element Black Gold Knife Glow would depend on his own strength.
Without further delay, Charles gripped the Black Gold Long Knife tightly with his right hand, swinging it suddenly. A five element Black Gold Knife Glow shot out with incredible speed, quickly slicing through the earth walls in front of Cassian, and continued, unimpeded, toward his body!
Cassian instinctively reinforced his body's defense to its utmost. He tried to remain calm, but facing Charles's devastating attack one that could threaten his very life Cassian instinctively shut his eyes.
At that moment, Calista, who had been standing outside the Barbaric Area the entire time, flashed forward and appeared directly in front of Cassian, attempting to block Charles's five element Black Gold Knife Glow.
Calista rapidly formed a massive azure shield in front of him. This was his defensive skill, and it boasted extremely high defensive capabilities only a full powered strike from a Level 7 Beast Master could damage this shield.
In his view, though Charles's final strike was powerful, it still paled in comparison to a full powered attack from a Level 7 Beast Master. Therefore, he believed this defensive shield would be more than enough.
Calista even turned his head to look at Cassian, a concerned expression on his face, and asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Cassian suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with excitement as he looked at Calista. Just as he was about to say something, he witnessed a scene that would remain imprinted in his memory forever.
The blade of light sliced through the massive azure shield Calista had formed, slowly cutting through it, before landing directly on Calista's back. In an instant, Calista's body collided with Cassian, sending him stumbling backward!
"I'm such an idiot!"
"I can't believe it either. This is Calista, for heaven's sake! He stepped in to intervene, and still couldn't block Charles's final strike. How is that even possible?"
"There are two reasons, I think. First, Calista was overconfident and didn't use his full strength. Second, the blade strike Charles unleashed just now was incredibly powerful, far beyond what a Level 6 Beast Master could withstand. However, he probably won't be able to use that kind of attack multiple times in a short period."
"Still, it's shocking! Let's not forget, Charles is only a Level 4 Beast Master!"
The onlookers quickly became a boiling mass of chatter, their conversations growing louder and more intense.
Charles, however, furrowed his brows slightly. Although his attack had seemingly hurt Calista, Charles knew well that after slicing through the multiple earth walls Cassian had summoned, as well as the azure shield Calista had conjured, the power of his five element Black Gold Knife Glow was significantly reduced.
The reason it had managed to hurt Calista was because the latter had been too confident, leaving his back wide open.
Even so, Calista hadn't sustained much damage. The physical resilience of a Level 7 Beast Master was still quite formidable.
However, the attack had left Calista standing in a daze, as if he had encountered something completely incomprehensible. His gaze was fixed on Charles, and there was a faint glint of hatred in his eyes, as though he had been publicly humiliated.
"A Level 4 Beast Master... made me bleed!"
"There are so many people here, and I actually got hurt? If word of this gets out... I..."
Calista could no longer maintain his warm smile. His facial muscles twitched slightly as he struggled to control his expression.
"Charles, no wonder you agreed to Cassian's challenge in the Barbaric Area. You wanted Cassian to die, didn't you? That's a little too bloodthirsty, don't you think?" Calista gritted his teeth and slowly spoke, his voice tinged with anger.
"Bloodthirsty?" Charles looked back at Calista with a calm and clear expression, a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Exactly," Calista answered bluntly. "Before the battle, Cassian promised me he'd show mercy, because, after all, you're just a Level 4 Beast Master. He only intended to teach you a lesson, no ill will involved."
"But you? You've got these powerful attacks, yet you're ruthless. If I hadn't intervened, Cassian would be dead right now!"
As he spoke, Calista's tone grew increasingly agitated, as if blaming Charles for his actions.
Charles, on the other hand, couldn't help but chuckle at Calista's forceful attitude.
"Cassian was the one who brought up the Barbaric Area, and you really think he was showing mercy during the fight? Also, this battle is between me and Cassian. Why did you break the rules and get involved?"
"Lastly, I have one more question for you. Don't you understand what the conflict between Cassian and me is about?"
"Truly, you're a disgusting hypocrite," Charles said, summarizing his thoughts with a final, sharp remark.
Calista could no longer keep his composure. All he could think about was Charles's final words "a disgusting hypocrite."
Was he talking about him?
How dare anyone say such things about him?
And a Level 4 Beast Master, no less, saying this in front of so many people?
"Charles! You're slandering me, you're defaming me, I'm going to "
Before Calista could finish speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the crowd and turned their indifferent gaze toward him.
It was Callum!
As the head of the Black Market, Callum could not ignore any breach of rules, especially when it came to something that affected the Barbaric Area's battles. Furthermore, since Charles was Ezra's disciple, Callum felt compelled to step in.
"What are you going to do about it?" Callum said coldly, looking at Calista.
Calista immediately fell silent. He stared at Callum for a long time before slowly answering, "Callum, I was wrong. I acted out of concern for my friend, I couldn't bear to see Cassian lose his life. How about you and Charles privately discuss how to resolve this matter?"
"Charles will give you a satisfactory answer."
Calista thought Callum would, out of respect for Charles, choose to handle the matter privately. But what Callum said next made his heart sink. He had no idea what to do.
"Charles? Should Charles discuss this with Charlotte?" Callum's voice carried a hint of expectation.
The Charlotte he referred to was none other than the "Poison Girl" from the Ten Person Council. If this matter were to be discussed between Charles and Charlotte, it would escalate significantly. Knowing Charlotte's nature, Charles would have to bleed before it would be resolved.
"No, surely not. This small matter can't possibly involve Charlotte." Calista instantly became flustered. He hadn't expected Callum to show such disregard for Charles. It seemed like Callum was deeply angered by his actions, or he wouldn't be acting this way.
"The rules of the Black Market can't be broken. You messed up, so you'll take responsibility for it. Do you think just bringing up Charles will make me go easy on you?" Callum said disdainfully.
Then, with a swift motion, Callum summoned his energy. A massive aura of pressure exploded, and the suffocating weight of a Level 9 Beast Master's presence filled the air. Everyone around struggled to breathe as the oppressive force took hold.
In the next instant, Callum appeared directly in front of Calista. Without any hesitation, he slapped him.
Slap!
Calista's body was sent flying as though he were a piece of discarded trash, tracing an arc through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, motionless.
It took a long while before Calista regained consciousness. He touched his face, only to find that his features had swollen up rapidly, his face now resembling a grotesque mess. He tried to speak, but when he opened his mouth, blood and teeth mixed together and sprayed out.
A slap from a Level 9 Beast Master had crushed his internal organs, knocked out his teeth, and nearly shattered his jaw. He was no longer able to speak.
The pitiful state he was in caused everyone present to suck in a sharp breath.
"Now, Charles can talk to me about this," Callum said, looking down at Calista, who still hadn't gotten up, his voice calm and indifferent.
