Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

"You all fell into the illusion just now. I woke up a bit faster and noticed that the monster was at its weakest, so I took the opportunity to deal with it." Charles explained casually.

After hearing Charles's words, Nathaniel slowly floated over to the fragments and began to examine them closely.

He used the attribute energy within him to sense the defensive capabilities of those fragments, then suddenly looked up and stared at Charles, saying:

"Did you really do this? Well, who else could accomplish something like this? Even if the monster was at its weakest, a typical Level Four Beast Master wouldn't be able to inflict serious damage."

Charles nodded. Nathaniel, as an Eighth Level Beast Master, certainly spoke the truth.

If it weren't for the [black gold long knife] releasing the Black Gold Knife Glow, and Charles's ability to utilize multiple types of attribute energy, he definitely wouldn't have been able to deal with that monster!

While Charles was talking to Nathaniel, the others in Flower Falls Gorge began to wake up one by one.

The Beast Masters who had come to assist, as well as the tourists in Flower Falls Gorge, sat on the ground in despair as soon as they opened their eyes.

Some were screaming, while others were desperately hugging their loved ones. Clearly, the illusion had caused severe emotional trauma to them.

After a while, once Nathaniel had dealt with the monster's fragments, he slowly brought Charles down from the sky. The rain in Flower Falls Gorge began to lessen, and the wind was no longer so fierce.

In the gentle breeze and light rain, countless colorful petals floated down from the sky, dancing gracefully.

No one appreciated this beautiful scene, everyone slowly raised their heads, fixated on Charles's figure.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Is it over? Is that monster really dead?"

Charles nodded and replied, "Everything is over. You are no longer in danger."

Upon hearing Charles's words, the tourists in Flower Falls Gorge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Many felt as if they had been dreaming, but their weak [Bodies] and psychological scars served as reminders that everything that had just happened was indeed real.

Someone couldn't help but break down in tears, their face filled with joy at having survived.

Nathaniel looked at the tourists in front of him and instinctively turned to Charles, his expression complex as he spoke, "Charles, if it weren't for you this time, these people would have truly died. Moreover, while we were all caught in the illusion, if you hadn't woken up, all our efforts might have been in vain."

The emotions in Nathaniel's heart were difficult to describe. There was the most sincere gratitude, along with a strong shock at what an eighteen-year-old could accomplish.

Facing such a terrifying monster, an eighteen-year-old not only devised a way to save others but also personally ended the monster's threat, ultimately ensuring that no one had died and everyone survived.

This was something that could only be seen in movies!

At that moment, Wesley, a master-level blacksmith, also approached. His face was filled with dread, recalling the feeling of being controlled by the black threads, unable to move, and the final illusion. For this elderly man, who wasn't skilled in combat, it was terrifying.

"I didn't expect you really pulled it off. Heroes emerge from youth!" Wesley sighed. At the beginning, he had never dared to imagine that the final outcome would be so wonderful.

When he was being controlled by the black threads, Wesley felt an immense despair. Clinging to a final glimmer of hope, he had thrown the Fire God Stone to Charles.

He never expected that Charles would actually achieve the impossible!

Faced with the praise from Nathaniel and Wesley, Charles scratched his head and slowly replied, "It wasn't just my effort. The reason we could save these tourists was due to all of us, including those taxi drivers who helped a lot."

Upon hearing Charles's response, the admiration in Nathaniel's eyes deepened. If it were any other young man, they definitely wouldn't have acted like Charles did!

Not only Nathaniel, but Wesley's gaze toward Charles grew softer as well.

In the entire Flower Falls Gorge, tens of thousands of eyes were on Charles, each filled with gratitude and shock.

Faced with the attention of so many people, Charles felt a bit overwhelmed.

Back at Cyber Academy, there were only a dozen people watching him at times, and even at most, it was less than a hundred. As his strength grew, the number of onlookers increased.

Today was the highest number he had ever faced!

In the face of so many gazes, Charles felt at a loss for words.

"Alright, Charles used up quite a bit of energy in the battle just now. Let him go rest for a while, and everyone else should take care of the aftermath." Nathaniel said loudly.

The tourists surrounding Charles slowly dispersed, creating a path for him.

Charles didn't hesitate and directly took steps toward the exit of Flower Falls Gorge.

With every step he took, many tourists nearby looked at him and said:

"Thank you for saving me."

"Charles! You are a true hero!"

"Thank you!"

The heartfelt words of gratitude and praise echoed in Charles's ears.

He didn't know why, but his body began to heat up again, as if that unknown force inside him was slowly awakening in response to these people's thanks.

On this road filled with gratitude and admiration, Charles walked slowly and for a long time.

It wasn't that he particularly enjoyed this atmosphere, rather, he sensed that the unknown force within him was very sensitive to it.

At first, it was the blood tears from the infant's forehead, embodying a mother's strongest love for her child.

Later, it came from those Beast Masters who came to assist, and finally, from the tourists who were saved.

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be the positive emotions of humanity. These invisible and intangible things are the key to awakening the unknown force within me." Charles continuously analyzed in his mind.

This was his hypothesis, and it seemed quite reasonable. Moreover, when facing the monster's final illusion, he had felt too much pain and despair, causing the unknown force within him to fall into a deep sleep.

Soon, surrounded by the crowd, Charles returned to the hotel.

He didn't notice that among the crowd, Luna and Snow were watching him.

"Sister Luna, I think I understand now why you were moved by Charles. A man like that, even I would be touched." Snow said slowly.

Luna turned to glance at her for a moment but said nothing.

Snow, feeling a bit guilty, shifted her gaze to the ground and whispered, "He's just so handsome! A hero surrounded by thousands, a hero who saved everyone—it's like a direct hit to my heart, what should I do?"

"Just go back." Luna replied coldly.

Snow immediately looked up and spoke quickly to Luna, "Sister Luna, don't worry, I won't try to steal your man, as long as I can control myself!"

Luna didn't look at Snow again. In her mind, Snow was just someone who liked to joke around, with a personality that was bold and outgoing.

Therefore, Luna simply thought that Snow was just trying to be funny right now.

"Go rest for a bit." Luna said once more.

As Snow looked at Luna's expressionless face, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Sister Luna and Charles are really a perfect match—one is aloof, the other calm and collected."

"They say that for two people to be together, their personalities should complement each other. Charles is so serious and composed, he should find someone a bit more lively."

As Snow walked slowly behind Luna, her mind kept wandering.

Mainly, it was Charles's earlier performance that was just too unforgettable!

...

News of the Flower Falls Gorge incident spread throughout Genosha in no time!

The people of Genosha, who had been anxiously praying and fearing that eighty percent of the tourists would have to make the ultimate sacrifice, were left with their mouths agape in disbelief upon learning that Charles and the others had saved all the tourists.

"Is this for real? Am I dreaming?" Some people almost dropped their phones, thinking they were in a dream.

Others rushed into the streets, shouting excitedly, "Charles! You're amazing!"

The atmosphere in Genosha shifted from heavy and anxious to one of excitement and joy!

More and more people from Genosha stepped out of their homes and onto the streets to join in the celebration. Even shop owners brought out balloons, colorful lights, and fireworks, offering them for free.

At that moment, the Emperor of Genosha, Miles, was in the palace. Watching the fireworks bloom in the sky and hearing the cheers around him, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

"Charles, oh Charles, you truly are the hero of all Genosha!" Miles exclaimed.

The surrounding ministers all nodded in agreement.

Some ministers who had initially thought that Charles was too young to have any good solutions slowly stepped forward and spoke up:

"Your Majesty, may I ask when Charles will return? I want to apologize to him for my earlier dismissiveness."

Miles waved his hand, showing no signs of anger, and replied:

"Now you see, Charles is a true genius. He is the hero of Genosha and also its hope for the future."

"All of you think carefully about how to reward him."

Emperor Miles posed his question, and the ministers fell into deep thought.

It seemed that Charles didn't lack for money, after all, he was a master-level alchemist's apprentice, and a disciple of Ezra, so ordinary rewards wouldn't suffice.
