Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Hearing Colton's words, Charles understood that his master was considering his well-being.

Colton cared about his future development and didn't want him to take this risk, worrying that if he truly failed, he would sacrifice his entire alchemist career.

Colton, Ezra, Jamie, Hale, and others all made Charles feel warmth, he really cared about these people.

The curse on Master Hale had already been lifted, and on Ezra's side, there were Cecilia and Drake, two eighth-level Beast Masters, ready to provide assistance.

Now Master Colton faced a dilemma and needed his help.

Moreover, Charles truly wasn't worried about the alchemist duel, he had seven days left, which was enough time for him to become a top-tier alchemist.

"Master, I really think there's no need to worry about this. The ones who should be worried are them, I won't lose." Charles said with a serious expression.

Colton looked at Charles with a touch of emotion, his eyes revealing a hint of determination as he slowly said:

"Charles, I know about your talent. If you had another month, you might just become a top-tier alchemist. But now, there isn't much time left." Colton sighed again.

He also hoped that Charles truly had the strength to defeat Seven and resolve the crisis, but time was still too short.

After all, it hadn't been long since Charles became a high-level alchemist, and with only seven days left, how could he possibly become a top-tier alchemist and have a hundred percent confidence in defeating Seven?

"How about this, Master? With seven days left, if I become a top-tier alchemist, you cannot stop me anymore." Charles thought for a moment and decided to let his actions speak for themselves.

Colton nodded, seeing the seriousness and calmness on Charles's face, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. What if Charles really managed to do it?

Even knowing that the hope was slim, Colton had no other options at that moment.

"Alright, without further ado, try to make time these next few days to continue learning alchemical knowledge with me." Colton said without wasting any time, leading Charles back to the wooden cabin to begin their alchemical lessons.

In just a short afternoon,

the events that occurred in the Genosha Alchemist Guild quickly spread across the entire Genosha network.

The people who had just been celebrating Charles's leadership in helping the youth of Genosha defeat the Stellar Empire's Beast Master began to express their dissatisfaction online.

As the situation continued to escalate, some information about Quinn was also exposed.

"Damn it, this old man really has a lot of power, he can actually impose restrictions on the alchemical materials of the Genosha Alchemist Guild!"

"It's over, it's over, if that happens, the Beast Masters of Genosha will lack resources for miracle drugs."

"Although we can buy from other sources, that will cause the price of miracle drugs to skyrocket, which will have a huge impact!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"And you haven't even considered that with more resources on Kingston's side and fewer resources on ours, the gap will widen even further."

"What should we do? Can anyone think of a solution?"

"What can we do? Do we really have to let Charles participate in the alchemist duel?"

"The opponent is about to become a top-tier alchemist, while Charles has only recently become a high-level alchemist, there's no way he can defeat him!"

The people of Genosha were also aware that they were not blindly supporting Charles.

Although no one questioned Charles's talent, the time was simply too short. Everyone unanimously believed that if given more time, Charles would surely not disappoint them.

More and more people began to feel despair, knowing that the competition between Kingston and Genosha had already started.

Now, this eighteen-year-old boy, Charles, had become a crucial figure.

Whether Charles agreed to the alchemist duel and ended up unable to practice alchemy for life, or if Colton, the master-level alchemist, crippled himself, both outcomes were unacceptable to the people of Genosha!

Either loss would severely damage Genosha's interests and indirectly affect the entire nation's strength.

If they did nothing, Quinn would use his power to directly restrict Genosha's alchemical resources, which would also have a massive impact.

At this moment,

in the palace of Genosha,

all the ministers gathered together, continuously thinking and discussing how to find a solution to the problem.

One person suggested, "Why don't we take a firmer stance and directly confront the alchemist guild of the Haunted Marsh, demanding that they stop Quinn!"

Immediately, someone rebutted, "That's useless, the people of the Haunted Marsh have never taken the Abyssal Depths seriously. You know they are arrogant and haughty, thinking of us as weak, backward savages."

"Aren't their demands for Charles to agree to the duel? Compared to Colton, this master of alchemy, Charles's sacrifice would be more acceptable. After all, having one master of alchemy is enough for Genosha." said a minister, who only considered the pros and cons, analyzing slowly.

Nathaniel shot him a glance and coldly replied, "Charles has just led the youth of Genosha to victory, becoming nearly a national hero. Are you really going to force him to sacrifice? Don't you consider the thoughts of the people?"

The minister stretched his neck and continued in a deep voice, "So what? Charles just needs to become a powerful Beast Master. Even if he can never practice alchemy again, it won't have much impact. Perhaps the people think the same way!"

"If the people of Genosha are like you, willing to force a hero to sacrifice, I would feel ashamed." Nathaniel said calmly.

His thoughts were simple and came from multiple perspectives. In Nathaniel's view, the dignity and honor of Genosha could not be obliterated in comparison to some alchemical resources.

The morale that had finally emerged because of Charles could not be easily lost.

Moreover, if they retreated at the first sign of difficulty, it would severely damage the spirit of the nation.

Thinking of this, Colton turned to Emperor Miles of Genosha and slowly said:

"Your Majesty, I believe our stance should be firmer. Even if we face restrictions on alchemical resources, we should choose not to back down. This incident is a crisis, but it is also our opportunity. As long as we can successfully navigate this crisis, the spirit and dignity of Genosha will manifest in every Genosha citizen."

These words instantly silenced everyone present, and they began to fall into deep thought.

Nathaniel's words made sense, but how should they navigate this crisis?

At that moment, a soldier appeared at the door, shouting loudly, "Your Majesty, urgent news has arrived from the borders!"

Instantly, everyone's gaze turned toward the door, their faces reflecting a sense of foreboding.

"Speak quickly!" Miles commanded briskly.

"Your Majesty, reports from the front indicate that Kingston mobilized an army of ten thousand half an hour ago, and they are slowly advancing toward the front lines." the soldier announced loudly.

One minister immediately exclaimed:

"Your Majesty! It seems Kingston has learned about today's events and wants to use this opportunity to pressure us!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we must resolve the issue with Quinn as soon as possible and not give Kingston any chances!" Continue your saga on empire

"I agree, Your Majesty. Otherwise, we should issue an order for Charles to accept the alchemist duel."

The news of Kingston's troop movement caused a flurry among the ministers.

Many believed that if Charles agreed to the alchemist duel, they could successfully defuse the crisis.

Nathaniel looked at the ministers, a hint of murderous intent quietly surfacing in his gaze.

In his eyes, these people were utterly foolish, forcing Charles to agree to the duel and choosing to sacrifice him would only lead to greater losses for Genosha!

It was not merely a loss of material and interests but a loss of national dignity and spiritual integrity!

The former could be easily compensated, while the latter would be extremely difficult to recover.

Unless Charles was willing to sacrifice himself, in which case they could promote him as a selfless and fearless hero!

The ministers began to argue among themselves, while Emperor Miles of Genosha sat solemnly on the dragon throne, his expression dark and silent.

His hands tightly gripped the armrests of the throne, which symbolized the emperor's authority, his fingers turned slightly white from the pressure, and the veins on his wrists bulged, revealing his inner turmoil.

The sunlight outside streamed through the windows, casting reflections on the smooth marble floor, creating a shadow of Miles. Half of his face was illuminated by the sunlight, while the other half remained hidden in shadow, showing neither joy nor anger.

Nathaniel remained silent, his gaze fixed on Miles seated on the dragon throne, as if waiting for something.

Time passed slowly, especially at this critical moment with the enemy mobilizing large forces.

Miles, who should have issued commands quickly, was unusually silent and said nothing.

Eventually, the bickering ministers sensed something was amiss and fell silent, turning their attention to the emperor.

"Have you all finished arguing?" Miles said calmly.

The response he received was silence.

Nathaniel's eyes gradually brightened, a hint of a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth, his entire body standing straight like a sharp sword, ready to be unsheathed at any moment!

"You've forgotten that dignity is earned through strength. A high-ranking member of the Haunted Marsh alchemist guild can threaten the entire Genosha at will, and instead of feeling ashamed, you eagerly want to act according to their wishes." Miles's words were filled with fury.

A gentle breeze swept through, lifting the curtains by the window, allowing even more sunlight to pour in.

On the smooth marble floor, Miles's furious expression was reflected.
