Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

"The Beast Master army of Lsengard can start getting ready. I'll be infiltrating their stronghold shortly to gather some information. If things go well, we might be able to take action tonight," Charles said after a moment of thought, addressing the people in the room.

Matthew, the Lord of Lsengard, and the leader of the Lsengard Beast Master army both paused for a moment, clearly stunned. After about two or three seconds, Matthew cautiously asked, "My lord, are you going alone?"

"Although there aren't any high level Beast Masters near Lsengard, there's a fifth level Beast Master stationed here. Should we have him accompany you?"

Even the leader of the Beast Master army seemed to agree with Matthew, nodding in approval.

In their minds, Charles was undoubtedly a genius from Genosha, but he was still young only eighteen years old with a fourth level Beast Master rank. If something went wrong, they wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.

Charles immediately shook his head in refusal. "Lsengard is just a small city. They're unlikely to send any high level Beast Masters here. The most we might encounter is a seventh level Beast Master."

"If I really do find a seventh level Beast Master, I wouldn't rush into a fight. I'm not an idiot."

"No need. If I go alone, the operation will be quieter. A typical fifth level Beast Master won't be able to keep up with me. If we bring anyone else, it could attract the enemy's attention."

"Any early detection, and this golden opportunity to take them all down in one fell swoop could be lost," Charles continued calmly.

Matthew and the leader of the Lsengard army exchanged looks, both of them filled with unease.

However, as Charles was the Supervisor of Genosha, he held absolute authority in Lsengard, and even they couldn't challenge his decision. They could only agree, though their concern was obvious.

Charles made sure to remind them not to make any loud movements while mobilizing the troops. It would be best for them to act in small groups, and only move after receiving his clear command.

After everything was arranged, Charles left the Lord's Manor without hesitation, heading toward the villas where the Evil Organization was located, guided by his memory.

As he neared the villas, Charles took out the Substitute Mask for the Ten Person Council, put it on, and activated the first effect. In an instant, his aura completely disappeared, and his presence was reduced to almost nothing.

The next moment, Charles activated his darkness cloak, causing his figure to vanish into the darkness.

In the courtyard of the villa,

Six or seven figures patrolled back and forth, their attention fully focused on the surroundings, alert to any unusual activity.

"How is it? Nothing abnormal, right?" someone asked.

Immediately, a patrolling member responded, "Don't worry, my lord. With us on watch, not even a fly can get into the villa!"

"Good. Be careful. Once this is over, we can leave Lsengard. Everyone will receive rewards from the organization!" the man said slowly.

Hearing these words, the other patrol members became even more vigilant, their eyes wide open as they carefully observed everything in the darkness.

However, no one noticed that Charles was walking boldly past several sentries and had quietly positioned himself behind the man who had spoken earlier.

Even at such a close distance, no one detected his presence!

"I have to say, the combination of darkness cloak and the hidden effect of the Substitute Mask for the Ten Person Council is ridiculously powerful. As long as there's no special situation, even an eighth or ninth level Beast Master would likely overlook my presence if they're careless," Charles thought to himself.

He had overheard the conversation between the patrolling members and deduced that the person in front of him was likely a high ranking member of the Evil Organization.

The situation inside the villa was still unclear, so Charles decided to follow this person first to figure out the layout, external environment, and personnel distribution of the villa.

Time passed, and after about ten minutes, Charles had memorized all the details.

"There's no sign of a high level Beast Master outside. These patrolling members are all at most fifth level Beast Masters. It looks like my earlier guess was right," Charles thought to himself.

At that moment, the Evil Organization member in front of him turned and walked toward the villa's interior.

Without hesitation, Charles followed.

They wound their way through the building and entered an elevator that led underground. In an instant, a vast underground space appeared before Charles.

Everywhere he looked, there were various mechanical devices. Some people were operating cranes and mechanical arms, reassembling fragments of dark altars.

Charles estimated that there were about thirty to forty people in the underground space, including two sixth level Beast Masters, but none of them noticed his presence.

In addition, in the center of the underground space, there was a round black stone, about a meter in diameter. As Charles focused on it, a prompt appeared in his vision:

Heart of Darkness [orange quality]: A heart taken from a person in pain, mixed with human blood and cast through a special process. It is a sacrificial tool used to communicate with a certain existence. It also binds the souls of several hundred tortured souls. Ordinary attacks cannot damage it. Even if special attacks were used to destroy it, the souls bound within cannot be freed.

Charles' pupils slightly contracted. He hadn't expected them to actually bring the Heart of Darkness here.

But back when Charles was in the warehouse, he had heard these people discussing their plan to wait until the Genosha investigators had left before attempting to transport the Heart of Darkness into Lsengard. So why was it being brought here early?

As Charles pondered this, he silently moved through the darkness, memorizing every detail of the underground space its layout, the equipment, the personnel.

At that moment, three more people appeared in the underground space. They were armed, and coldly escorting a group of about ten children, leading them slowly toward the Heart of Darkness.

"Hurry up if you don't want to die!"

"What are you standing there for?"

"You want a beating, is that it?" One of them shouted at a little girl who was walking too slowly, then kicked her to the ground.

The other children trembled in fear, not daring to look back at what had happened. They just kept their heads down and slowly walked toward the Heart of Darkness.

Charles even saw a child, around ten years old, holding an infant in their arms!

"Damn it! What are they planning to do?" Charles struggled to control his emotions. He still hadn't figured out why they were bringing the Heart of Darkness to Lsengard ahead of schedule, and he couldn't afford to act rashly.

He carefully committed to memory the appearance of the person who had just kicked the little girl. Then, silently and cautiously, he moved closer to the two sixth level Beast Masters in the underground space.

The two were talking. Charles wanted to listen carefully to what they were saying, hoping they might reveal some useful information.

As he got closer, he heard one of the sixth level Beast Masters frown slightly after seeing what had just happened. He spoke, saying:

"These kids are too young. Their bodies aren't strong enough to withstand such treatment. You should have your people be more careful, take a different approach."

The other casually replied, "Why bother? As long as they're still alive, it's fine. Besides, these brats won't last long anyway."

"What I mean is, if you want to punish them, there are better ways like skinning their backs to keep them in constant pain. That would make the sacrificial rituals more effective."

"Don't worry about the details. At midnight tonight, the dark attribute energy will be the most active it's been in the last month. With the active dark energy boosting it, the Rituals and ceremonies for sacrificial offerings will definitely go off without a hitch."

"That's true. Otherwise, we wouldn't be taking the risk of transporting the Heart of Darkness into the city right now," one of the sixth level Beast Masters said as he continued the conversation.

Suddenly, both of them felt something. The sixth level Beast Master who had mentioned skinning the children felt a slight chill run down his neck, an inexplicable coldness.

He frowned and looked at his companion, asking, "Did you feel that? Why did it suddenly get so cold?"

His companion, not paying much attention, casually replied, "A little coldness is normal, right? After all, we're underground, the temperature's lower than outside."

"True, but it still feels off. I'll go check it out. We can't let anyone break in and ruin our Rituals and ceremonies for sacrificial offerings," the first sixth level Beast Master said, his tone tinged with unease.

Not far behind them, Charles was taking slow, controlled breaths.

After hearing the conversation, a surge of killing intent suddenly flared in his heart. He hadn't expected that the sixth level Beast Master would sense his presence.

"Looks like I need to be more cautious. Sometimes, a Beast Master's instincts, or sixth sense, can be incredibly sharp," Charles thought, quickly committing the incident to memory, so he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

He had always been calm and composed, but hearing these monsters speak with such cruelty, such madness, stirred something inside him. His killing intent was hard to suppress.

"They're planning to perform the Rituals and ceremonies for sacrificial offerings at midnight tonight? If no other high level Beast Masters show up, you're all dead," Charles thought darkly.

From a corner where no one noticed, he took one last look at the entire underground space and then turned to leave.
