Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints-Chapter 465: The Problem with the Stokes Family

"Charles, if you’re able to obtain the Heart of Darkness as a promotion material, it won’t absorb the souls contained within. Instead, it will allow them to be liberated," Theodore said seriously, locking eyes with Charles. As he spoke, he handed over an ancient tome.

Charles reached out and took the book, carefully flipping through its pages. He found that the information indeed matched what Theodore had told him.

There had once been a Dark Attribute Beast Master who, in order to promote their mystical beast, sought out an Evil Organization branch that specialized in creating Dark Altars. After killing everyone inside, the Beast Master’s mystical beast absorbed the Dark Altar, and the tortured souls that had been trapped within it were all freed.

"Based on this, if you can absorb the Heart of Darkness, the effects should be similar, though it’s unfortunate that the human skin book doesn’t mention how the Heart of Darkness is created," Charles sighed deeply. The situation didn’t seem particularly optimistic.

If they couldn’t find the Heart of Darkness, he would have to resort to using a miracle drug to help Mousie promote.

Mousie’s first promotion had required the use of a golden quality Tribulation Golden Pill because they couldn’t find a Dark Altar. That was the only reason Mousie could continue leveling up. Golden quality miracle drugs were extremely rare Charles had only encountered one since becoming a Beast Master.

For most Beast Masters, even obtaining an ordinary orange quality miracle drug was an immense challenge. Not everyone had a master level alchemist teacher at their disposal.

"By the way," Theodore continued, as if suddenly remembering something, "if you want to find clues about things like the Dark Altar or Heart of Darkness, you could ask Jamie. That kid has some clearance and can access official records. He might have some useful information."

Theodore slapped his forehead with a smile, then added, "I almost forgot, you’re still the Supervisor of Genosha. You can directly access official institutions and investigate any materials or intelligence you need, except for the most classified ones. There shouldn’t be any problems with the rest."

Upon hearing Theodore’s words, Charles immediately had an idea. He could look into any large scale child disappearances or investigate areas where Evil Organization members might be active. These could be critical clues.

If Charles didn’t want Mousie’s inability to promote to slow down his own progress, he needed to act quickly.

After coming to this conclusion, Charles briefly said goodbye to Theodore and left the library. Discover stories with novelbuddy

His first action was to send a message to Danel, the president of the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association’s Genosha branch, asking for help in locating the Ice Spirit Pearl, Fire Spirit Pearl, Wind Dew, and various beast cores required for promotions at different levels.

As soon as the message was sent, Charles’ phone rang.

"Dear Mr. Charles, I happen to know that the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association’s Stone Kingdom branch is about to auction an Ice Spirit Pearl. I wanted to check if you might have time to attend?"

"If not, I can personally go in your place and handle the auction for you," Danel said, speaking carefully while holding his phone.

In the background, people were passing by, curiously eyeing Danel, who was on the phone. One of them stopped the nearby receptionist, intrigued, and asked:

"Is there a big name guest coming or some rare treasure being auctioned soon?"

The receptionist, dressed in a formal gown with black stockings, bent slightly to show off her graceful curves. She responded softly, "Sorry, sir, I’m not sure about that, but if any treasure is up for auction, the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association will contact you immediately."

After the curious customer left, the receptionist looked over at Yana, who had already been promoted, and muttered enviously to herself:

"Sigh, it’s all about luck. If I’d been lucky enough to meet Charles before Yana did, maybe it would be me standing next to the president now."

Yana, who was the subject of the envy, was looking at Danel with eager anticipation and asked, "President, do you think Mr. Charles will attend the Stone Kingdom auction?"

Danel gave her a regretful glance and replied, "Mr. Charles seems to have some business to attend to and won’t be able to make it. I’ll have to go to Stone Kingdom personally, so I’m leaving things here for you to manage."

Yana’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Danel. Although she had been promoted, she had not yet reached the level of managing the Seven Kingdoms Merchant Association’s Genosha branch! What had happened in that phone call that made Danel decide to go to Stone Kingdom himself?

Before Yana could fully process what Danel had said, he casually added, "I’m stepping out for a bit. Get ready and spread the word. Two days from now, we’ll be auctioning off an orange quality Supreme Spear."

"Orange quality?" Yana repeated in shock.

She knew that even a purple quality weapon could easily support a small auction by itself. But an orange quality weapon? That could send every Beast Master in Genosha into a frenzy!

"Could it be Mr. Charles...?" Yana seemed to have an epiphany and cautiously ventured the thought.

Danel nodded silently, taking a deep breath. He hadn’t expected that Charles, a Level 4 Beast Master, would actually part with an orange quality Supreme Spear for auction.

A bold speculation crossed Danel’s mind what if Charles had a whole collection of orange quality weapons? The thought of higher quality weapons made Danel hesitate to even entertain the idea.

A golden quality weapon? Even a Level 9 Beast Master might not have one! And Charles, still just a Level 4 Beast Master, surely couldn’t possess anything of that caliber.

But for now, Danel’s thoughts were clear. He was determined to go all out to help Charles find the materials he needed. Only then would someone with Charles’ potential continue to maintain a long term partnership with him. Helping Yana get promoted had been a part of this strategy.

At this moment, Charles, who was at Cyber Academy, had no idea that his decision had just given Yana a substantial boost in her position. Even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared.

Charles frowned as he looked closely at the message on his phone it was from Jace. The message essentially said: there had been some developments in Lsengard, with signs of Dark Attribute Beast Masters operating there, and it had led to involvement with the Stokes family, where Celestine was located. The Genosha official organization had completely locked down the Stokes family and was conducting an investigation.

Jace also mentioned, somewhat casually, that among the Genosha officials involved in the investigation, he had seen someone familiar someone who looked like Carter.

The moment Carter’s name appeared in Charles’s mind, all the information about him flashed through his thoughts. The first time Charles met this man was outside the Alchemist Guild. He was a representative and advisor from the Clark family, there to recruit Charles.

Charles hadn’t expected that after the Taylor family was wiped out, Carter would remain unaffected. Instead, he had transformed into someone investigating the Evil Organization.

"It looks like a trip to the Stokes family is in order," Charles thought quietly to himself. "Since there’s a lead on Evil Organization members there, it’s possible there might be information about the Heart of Darkness."

Charles was no longer the eighteen year old boy who had just arrived in Genosha. In less than half a year, he had become a Supervisor in Genosha with absolute authority. If necessary, he could even mobilize the Beast Master forces stationed near Lsengard.

What would those people who had mocked him at Matthew’s banquet in Lsengard think when they saw him again? Those who had belittled him because of his commoner status?

A small sense of anticipation rose in his heart.

But before heading back to Lsengard, there were still a few things he needed to take care of.

First, Charles handed over the Thunder Breaker Spear (orange quality) to Danel. Then, he sent a message to Owen, the head of the Alchemist Guild, asking him to keep an eye out for any Fire Spirit Pearls or Wind Dew that might appear in Genosha.

Owen immediately agreed without hesitation.

Next, Charles focused on some matters regarding the establishment of the Genius Club. The opening of the Genosha royal secret realm was still some time away.

He quickly made a plan and handed it over to Zachary and Finn, instructing them to start working on it.

Once everything was set, Charles sent a message to his mentor, Ezra, briefly explaining his itinerary for the next few days. Then he immediately purchased a ticket from Genosha to Lsengard.

Meanwhile, at the Stokes family’s villa in Lsengard…

Henry, the head of the Stokes family, was pacing nervously in the main hall. As he walked back and forth, he muttered to himself, "This is it... it’s all over now. Our people can’t leave, and all we can do now is wait for the official investigation."

Celestine furrowed her brow and asked in confusion, "Father, is there something you’re not telling me? Why are you so worried?"

Hearing his daughter’s question, Henry stopped pacing and looked uneasy. His gaze shifted to the side, avoiding her eyes.

"Alright," he sighed. "Some time ago, someone came to the Stokes family to discuss business. The prices for the materials were much lower than the market rate, but I didn’t think much of it and agreed to the deal."

"Now that I think about it, something feels off about the whole situation. If I’m right, that person was definitely not normal..."
