Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

The next day, before the sky had fully brightened, Miles, with noticeable dark circles under his eyes, sat quietly on the dragon throne in the palace. His gaze was vacant, lost in thought, as he stared into space. In front of him, the ministers who had also failed to rest the night before were sluggishly discussing in low voices:

"Yesterday, Charles's choice seemed to have some basis, but when you think about it, it was too impulsive and risky. Sigh..."

"Who can argue with that! Young people, too impulsive. If it were up to me, I'd say we should take it slow. Start from the forest, and along the way, we could hunt a lot of ferocious beasts. Even if the genius Beast Masters from Kingston are stronger than ours, we'd still have a chance to win!"

"True, it's a shame. If this fails, all the blame will fall on Charles. How could he take such a risk?"

As the ministers continued their discussion, a commanding voice rang out from within the hall.

"Enough! All of you, be quiet!"

Miles shouted, his gaze calm yet stern as he looked at the ministers who had been discussing Charles's decision. He slowly said:

"Do you think the risks you've considered, Charles hasn't thought about them?"

"When conflicts or disputes arise between Genosha and Kingston, most of the time, we use methods of appeasement. We only take decisive action when absolutely necessary."

"Is that really the right approach?"

"Is it only after we're harmed that we start to resist?"

"Can't we proactively act, sensing the aggressive tendencies of Kingston's genius Beast Masters, and strike first?"

"Someone, tell me, why can't we do that?"

Miles's voice thundered, filled with anger.

He wasn't blaming Charles's decision; what saddened him was that the ministers in front of him had been suppressed for so long, they had forgotten that if Kingston could take action, why couldn't they?

"Your Majesty, we're just worried. After all, the strength of Kingston's genius Beast Masters is far superior to Charles and his team."

"Indeed, Your Majesty, at this point, we should choose a safer approach. Besides, Kingston's genius Beast Masters may not necessarily attack Charles. It could just be a tactical intimidation," a minister murmured quietly.

Miles's anger surged. He abruptly stood up from the dragon throne, his eyes blazing with fury as he glared at the ministers who had spoken.

"I said, Charles's decision is flawless. Whether we win or lose this contest, as long as Charles and his team do their best, that's enough!"

"Your short-sightedness is staggering! Can't you see what the people of Genosha really think?"

Miles nodded slightly to a nearby attendant, signaling for them to begin. Soon, someone began operating the equipment in front of them.

After a night of fermenting, the people of Genosha had gone from initial shock and confusion to now expressing increasingly excited opinions on the internet.

For example:

"Why should we always be passive? At first, when I saw Charles's choice, my mind was filled with dread, thinking we were done for, thinking we were sure to lose. How could it be like this?"

"Only now do I realize—why should we silently endure the provocations of Kingston's genius Beast Masters?"

"Yeah, if Charles hadn't made that decision to start from the wilderness, to take control and seize the initiative, I would never have realized how long we've been enduring this! So long that we can no longer understand why Charles made that choice!"

"That's right, I support Charles!"

"Whether we win or lose in the end, it doesn't change the fact that I'll always support Charles!"

"Me too. He made me realize we didn't have to just endure. After sensing the enemy's intentions, we could have acted first and seized the initiative ourselves!"

More and more of these statements filled the entire Genosha network. More and more people began to believe that Charles's decision was not only correct but also unprecedented and indescribable!

The word "hero" originally referred to those who made great contributions, those whose charisma, words, and actions continuously influenced others. And right now, to every Genosha citizen who had awakened, Charles was undoubtedly a true hero!

"What about you? As ministers of Genosha, you should have sharper insight and judgment, yet you're still holding onto the old attitude while the people are moving forward. It's laughable!" Miles gritted his teeth as he spoke.

The entire atmosphere in Genosha had shifted. If someone else had made such a choice, they would have been drowned in a sea of criticism. But not Charles.

Why?

Because not only did the emperor of Genosha, Miles, believe in Charles, but countless people in Genosha's heart were also hoping that Charles could create a miracle!

Miles knew very well that he must seize this opportunity to reshape the spirit of all the people in Genosha. Only then could the fate of Genosha truly be changed!

"Everyone, reflect on this! Mason, order all the soldiers at the borders of Genosha to push the front lines forward and remain in a constant state of readiness!" Miles commanded loudly.

General Mason of Genosha took a deep breath and replied, "Understood!"

Then, Miles made other arrangements, instructing that the public opinion on the internet be controlled and guided as much as possible.

Celestial City, Red Zone, Western Wilderness Departure Point.

Zachary was fiddling with his phone, feeling a bit agitated. His breathing was erratic, sometimes slow and steady, other times rapid. He didn't look well at all.

Looking behind him, he saw the crowd of people being held back by Celestial City staff not far away. The people were shouting enthusiastically:

"Go for it! Show Celestial City your strength!"

"Don't be nervous, win or lose, we'll always support you!"

"Make sure you come back with honor, everyone will cheer for you! Go for it!"

Zachary looked at the Genosha citizens behind him, their eyes full of sincerity, their deafening cheers filled with hope and anticipation. He took deep breaths, trying to control his nervous emotions.

Luma was standing beside Zachary, just as nervous. He had to go to the bathroom, but after thinking for a long time, he leaned in and quietly asked Zachary:

"What if we lose...?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Charles's voice suddenly rang out:

"Believe in me, and believe in yourself. We won't lose."

His voice was calm, completely unbothered, as though he were discussing what to eat for dinner tonight.

It was this calmness that immediately helped Zachary and Luma relax. The two of them nodded forcefully, then took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, adjusting their bodies to peak condition.

"The equipment and weapons have been checked. This competition will be broadcast live. In the Red Zone, all signals will be blocked except for the live-streaming equipment. Please be mindful of your public image."

"Due to the geographical environment and the negotiation between Genosha and Kingston, to maintain as much realism as possible, in the event of an emergency, the rescue signal will be considered a forfeit. Rescue teams will arrive in 30 minutes. Only then will they be able to assist."

"During the 30 minutes of waiting for rescue, any accidents that happen will be considered an acceptable risk, including the death of a forfeit participant," Celestial City's staff solemnly read through the guidelines.

The 30 minutes after sending the rescue signal were just as dangerous. Not only could the genius Beast Masters from Kingston notice them, but they might also attract attacks from ferocious beasts.

If, during the battle with Kingston's genius Beast Masters, a team member sustained serious injuries and couldn't continue, the 30-minute window after sending the rescue signal became especially critical. During that time, Kingston's genius Beast Masters could launch targeted attacks.

This was undoubtedly deadly.

"Please double-check all the precautions, and if there are no objections, kindly sign the agreement. The competition will officially begin in thirty minutes," the Celestial City staff said as they handed over five copies of the agreement.

No one hesitated. Even Luma and Zachary, who had been nervous just moments ago, signed their names without any second thoughts.

They weren't afraid of danger; their only fear was that their lack of strength might cause them to fail in this competition.

"Alright, I won't say more. Luna, until the team reaches the central canyon area, you'll be in charge of leading the team. If anything uncertain comes up, feel free to consult Finn's opinion. Is that okay?" Charles said calmly, looking at Luna.

Luna nodded firmly, and Zachary, Luma, and Finn had no objections.

Due to the tactical approach, Charles had to act alone from the start, heading toward the point where Kingston's genius Beast Masters were located. Without him, the team needed a temporary leader to ensure they could handle any dangers that might arise.

Luna would lead, with Finn responsible for filling in any gaps, which was a suitable arrangement.

The wind and sand from the western part of the Red Zone blew in from the distance, making Charles's clothes flutter.

At this moment, Charles stood like a towering mountain, his calm gaze fixed on the distance, quietly waiting for time to pass, the tension palpable.

Amid the anticipation and anxiety of countless onlookers, the competition between Kingston's genius Beast Masters and Genosha's genius Beast Masters officially began!

"The time has come. Let's go!" Charles said in a low voice.

In the next moment, the five figures, including him, launched forward like arrows, swiftly heading into the distance through the swirling wind and sand.

Behind them, above in the sky, one after another of flying mystical beasts, carrying various live-streaming equipment, recorded every movement of Charles and his team.
