Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints-Chapter 540: The Conflict

It was unclear how many people were watching the genius Beast Master competition between Kingston and Genosha. Under the gaze of countless netizens, Charles and his team arrived at a small town near the Red Zone of Celestial City.

"Is that the Red Zone?" Zachary asked as soon as they stepped into the town. He looked into the distance and saw a vast red area, resembling a red ribbon, falling across the expansive mountains and rivers.

"Yes, greetings to the guests from Genosha. Just a short distance from this town is Celestial City's special area—the Red Zone," a Celestial City official reception staff member responded politely.

He then gave a detailed explanation about the Red Zone, focusing on the Frenzy bloodthirsty ferocious beasts that occasionally left the Red Zone and ran into human settlements, causing destruction and even hunting humans.

"So, for this competition, you may feel free to hunt the ferocious beasts with Blood-red Jade in their bodies. This isn't wanton slaughter, but rather a measure to reduce the chances of future ferocious beasts attacking surrounding humans," the staff member said with a smile.

Soon, under his guidance, Charles and his group arrived at the most luxurious hotel in the town. While they were checking in at the front desk, they heard loud noises coming from behind them.

"Charles! Luna!"

"Finn, Zachary, Luma, you guys do your best!"

"Good luck!"

Dozens of weary but excited Beast Masters, holding up banners, shouted at Charles and the others inside the hotel.

Charles was momentarily stunned. Then, he noticed the live streaming equipment in their hands and immediately understood—they must be Genosha's Beast Master streamers, following them to do a live broadcast.

"Charles, I think I recognize those people. They were part of the group doing live streams during the Eye of Ice and Fire event," Zachary remarked, looking at the familiar faces outside the hotel. He recalled the previous event.

These Genosha Beast Masters had been live streaming during Eye of Ice and Fire, and they mentioned that they would donate all the tips they received from the streams to charity.

Later, Zachary had heard that they truly did what they promised, donating a large sum of the tips to Genosha's charitable organizations. That's why he had a bit of an impression of these people.

Regardless of anything, seeing some fellow countrymen in a foreign land upon arrival made Zachary quite happy. Without thinking, he instinctively raised his arm and waved at the cameras held by the people outside.

Unexpectedly, the focus of the crowd was entirely on Charles, and they didn't even notice Zachary's actions at all.

"Charles! We're your fans, and many more fans are already on their way! They'll be there to cheer you on at the site! Do your best and make sure to win!"

"That's right, we'll always support you! Let those arrogant Kingston people see the brilliance of Genosha! Genosha won't let anyone bully us!"

"Go, Charles! Defeat those Kingston people!" As soon as these Genosha Beast Master streamers finished speaking, a sarcastic voice rang out from behind them.

"Whose dog is running loose, barking here? You Genosha geniuses dare to say such things with your weak Beast Master strength? It's just too laughable!"

The crowd turned around and saw, walking toward them under the guidance of the Celestial City reception staff, several Beast Masters who appeared to be about the same age as Charles and his group.

Immediately, someone recognized the speaker—the one who had openly insulted the Genosha flag and mocked Charles's strength on the internet—Kingston's genius Beast Master, Evan!

"Alright, there's no need to waste time with them here. Let's get the check-in done quickly," Miles Carter said indifferently. His gaze bypassed the Genosha Beast Master streamers and fixed on Luna inside the hotel lobby.

Miles Carter stared at Luna for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Charles. Finally, his eyes briefly lingered on Finn, and a sneer appeared on his lips, clearly displaying his contempt for his opponents.

On the Genosha side, Charles's focus was different from the others. His attention was solely on Miles Carter. Watching Miles lead the Kingston Beast Masters, with Skylar and a female five-level Beast Master named Serena trailing behind, Charles's expression darkened.

"It's you! Shameless bastard! How dare you say such things? What you said online was just too disgraceful!" Zachary instantly recognized Evan. He had a strong impression of him, particularly for the way he had openly insulted the Genosha flag and mocked Charles.

At this moment, the two rival countries' genius Beast Masters locked eyes, and the atmosphere grew tense. The hostility between them was palpable, the air thick with an impending conflict.

Just then, the Celestial City reception staff quickly sped up the check-in process for Charles and his group. They moved swiftly between the two groups of people and said:

"Everyone, it's getting late. How about we take a look at the hotel rooms now? If you need any equipment or items, please let us know, we're always available."

"Tomorrow morning, we'll have the drawing ceremony to determine each team's departure locations. Then, the competition will officially begin at 7 AM the day after tomorrow."

As the staff spoke, they silently prayed in their minds: "Please, no conflicts. Can't any issues wait until the competition starts the day after tomorrow to be resolved?"

However, Kingston's genius Beast Master, Evan, wasn't going to pass up such a good opportunity. He took two slow steps forward, stopping just short of crossing Miles Carter's position, and began to mock:

"What's the matter? Are you afraid of our strength? Makes sense—you only have one five-level Beast Master. What can you even do? How about this—why don't you just admit defeat here and now?"

"Hey, what's your name again—Charles? Right, aren't you the strongest Beast Master in Genosha? The hero of Genosha? Why aren't you stepping up now? I'm really curious to see your strength."

Evan scanned the group, pretending not to recognize which one was Charles. Of course, he knew exactly what Charles looked like, as he had reviewed his profile. This was merely a ploy to further provoke him.

Zachary couldn't take it anymore. He was about to make a move when Charles stopped him.

Charles calmly took a step forward, his gaze fixed on Skylar and Miles Carter. The others around him were like stray dogs on the roadside, utterly inconsequential.

Evan had expected Charles to retaliate with words or perhaps be provoked into attacking. However, all of Evan's taunts and provocative gestures seemed utterly laughable to Charles, causing no reaction whatsoever.

"Damn it! Is he really just going to ignore me like this?" Evan cursed under his breath, still eager to say something even worse. But before he could, Miles Carter extended his arm.

Evan immediately halted his movements and turned to look at Miles Carter's back. He saw Miles and Skylar both step forward simultaneously, their eyes locking onto Charles with intense focus.

Skylar's body began to tremble slightly, and red veins appeared in his eyes. He could hardly suppress his excitement, his lips curling into a grin as he said, "Charles? Have we met before? That sense of danger you give me... it's so familiar. This is great, this is great—finally, this trip wasn't a waste."

Charles didn't respond. His gaze remained fixed on Miles Carter.

Others found the situation a bit puzzling, but since the commanders of both teams, Charles and Miles Carter, had not said anything, no one dared to speak further.

After about five or six breaths, Miles Carter suddenly smiled and spoke, "It seems the intelligence reports weren't fabricated after all. I didn't expect it, but Genosha really has a genius who can slay a level six Beast Master."

"I didn't expect Kingston to have a Beast Master like you," Charles replied lightly.

As soon as his words fell, the smile on Miles Carter's face stiffened. He didn't understand what Charles meant by that—was he referring to Kingston hiding such a talented level five Beast Master, or was he talking about his own dark attribute Beast Master skills?

Just a moment ago, when Charles took a step forward, Miles Carter had felt a subtle sense of danger. At first, he thought the danger was emanating from Luna, but it turned out to be Charles, the one he had always considered to be a fake genius!

Skylar, the madman, had the same reaction.

As for the others, they were too far behind to feel anything. To be precise, those who were similar in nature naturally exuded a similar aura.

"This is interesting. Looks like I need to rethink my tactics," Miles Carter thought. "But no matter what, even if that intelligence is true, even if this Charles can slay a level six Beast Master, the final outcome will still be death."

"A genius, a hero? Now I'm getting a bit excited!"

"To slowly torment their hero in front of countless Genosha people, to witness the despair and pain on their faces, that would be such a delightful thing, wouldn't it?"

Miles Carter kept thinking about such a scene in his mind. He hadn't been this excited in a long time.

"Let's go. It's time for us to check in. The lottery is tomorrow," Miles Carter said slowly. The others in the team nodded, while Skylar continued to stare intently at Charles' back.

"Alright, you two will definitely have a fight," Miles Carter added.

He glanced at Evan. The actions Evan had taken earlier were all part of his plan, meant to see if Charles was really as the reports described.

To his surprise, without a fight, he had already sensed the faint hint of danger from Charles.

"Just now, he must have wanted to make a move with all his strength, trying to intimidate us," Miles Carter thought to himself.
