Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

When Charles slowly turned around, he saw the middle-aged man carefully studying him with his gaze, particularly observing the expression on his face.

Charles's face was filled with confusion and doubt as he asked, "Is there anything else?"

The middle-aged man smiled and slowly said to Charles, "It's nothing, I just feel like we might have met somewhere before."

"Really? I just arrived in Flower Falls City and wanted to see the scenery of Flower Falls Gorge. Perhaps we crossed paths on the way." Charles replied calmly.

The middle-aged man carefully observed Charles, and after confirming there was nothing unusual, he spoke again:

"I guess I must have mistaken you."

After saying that, he let Charles leave.

After Charles walked past the blacksmith's shop, he didn't rush to leave, instead, he summoned Mousie.

"Mousie, you wait at the door. When the people inside come out, quietly follow them and gather some information."

"If you sense any danger, don't hesitate—just leave!" Charles gave his instructions.

Mousie nodded and used the [Darkness Cloak], disappearing into the shadows.

Charles felt relatively at ease letting Mousie investigate, after all, Teacher Ethan had once said that if a Level Seven Beast Master wasn't paying close attention, they would find it hard to detect Mousie.

Things were becoming increasingly complicated. The suspicious group he encountered on the train had appeared next to the son of the Flower Falls City lord. Did this mean that the lord of Flower Falls City was in cahoots with them?

The lack of news from Nathaniel indicated a detailed investigation was underway. The people on the train and those goods were definitely not officially transported by Genosha!

"I still need to take down the [Mysterious Fragment]. Thinking about those nearly forgotten matters gives me a bad feeling." Charles sighed quietly in a concealed corner.

He had come out this time just to enjoy the scenery with his mystical beast, try some delicious food, and relax.

He never expected to encounter such a situation—he couldn't just turn a blind eye to it.

Time passed slowly until the sun began to set, and Duffy and the middle-aged man finally walked out of the blacksmith's shop.

The middle-aged man was very alert, constantly looking around and observing his surroundings.

Mousie followed him from a distance without being noticed, which indicated that the other party was not a Level Seven Beast Master.

Now Charles felt relieved, after all, having Mousie secretly follow and gather information still carried certain risks, and Charles didn't want anything to happen to Mousie.

Then Charles stepped back into the blacksmith's shop once more.

"Why are you back again? You were in quite a hurry to leave earlier." Wesley couldn't help but say.

Charles's expression was somewhat serious as he slowly replied, "The middle-aged man next to Duffy, I've seen him before, right inside the train carriage."

Upon hearing Charles's words, Wesley instantly walked over and asked in a serious tone:

"It seems something is about to happen in Flower Falls City. Kid, have you thought this through? Are you really going to remove that fragment?"

"With that fragment in place, it lowers your Spiritual sensitivity, so you won't attract attention from certain entities. If you take it off, I can't guarantee what will happen."

Charles took a deep breath and said slowly, "Let's wait a bit. I've already sent my mystical beast to follow them, and there should be news from Genosha Calivia soon. We'll see if there are any discoveries."

Charles looked down at the [Mysterious Fragment] around his neck, trying hard to recall where he had felt that same sensation when the cargo passed by him at the train station.

But he couldn't remember at all!

"This [Mysterious Fragment] is really terrifying, it can make me forget certain things without even realizing it. If I hadn't run into Wesley, I might not have discovered it at all." Charles thought silently to himself.

After hearing Charles's words, Wesley nodded and then said he would go prepare some things for later.

The entire blacksmith's shop was now left with only Charles.

He didn't ask Wesley how he dealt with Duffy, if a master-level blacksmith couldn't handle such a small matter, that would be too ridiculous.

Before long, Wesley hadn't returned, and Mousie was already back.

"How did it go? Did you find anything?" Charles asked impatiently.

Mousie first nodded, then shook its head, answering:

"Master, it went smoothly at first, they didn't notice me. But when I got to a certain place, I could sense a powerful aura. If I continued tracking them, I would be exposed."

Upon hearing Mousie's words, Charles fell into deep thought. That powerful aura must at least belong to a Level Seven Beast Master, if not an Eight!

"Did they notice you?" Charles asked.

Mousie shook its head and replied, "No, I sensed the danger and left immediately."

Charles reached out and gently stroked Mousie's head, saying slowly, "You did well. Now go back and rest for a bit."

After Mousie's figure disappeared, Wesley walked out from the back of the blacksmith's shop.

He still held that smoking pipe in his hand, but nothing else.

Charles observed closely and noticed that the tobacco in Wesley's pipe had been replaced with fresh tobacco, but it hadn't been lit.

"What's the update? Any new information?" Wesley asked.

Charles shared Mousie's findings, especially about the possibility of a Level Seven or even an Eight Beast Master appearing in Flower Falls City.

After listening, Wesley's brow remained tightly furrowed without any sign of easing. He never would have thought that aside from the well-known Flower Falls Gorge, there was anything in Flower Falls City that could attract a high-level Beast Master.

At that moment, Charles's phone suddenly vibrated. He opened it to find a call from Nathaniel.

"Charles, the investigation is complete. The Genosha officials have made no moves in Flower Falls Gorge, and just yesterday, a group of train police officers went missing. They were on the same train you and Luna took!" Nathaniel said in a serious tone.

Charles nodded, with that information, everything started to make sense. No wonder those train officers didn't notice anything unusual while checking others' identities, and they all appeared together at the hotel.

"I have a new discovery. There's a middle-aged man next to the son of the Flower Falls City lord, and he's one of the people from the train." Charles explained.

Nathaniel gasped when he heard that there might be an Eight Beast Master.

There were only a few Level Eight Beast Masters in all of Genosha, and the potential presence of one near Flower Falls Gorge demanded serious caution.

Whatever the other party was plotting, it wouldn't be small!

Thinking of this, Nathaniel spoke directly, "Charles, for safety's sake, you'd better return with Luna. And that girl Snow, the three of you need to ensure your safety first."

"I'll personally go investigate, but before that, you all need to evacuate quickly."

Charles thought for a moment. If he hadn't encountered Wesley, he might have left the matter to Nathaniel, the Level Eight Beast Master. But recalling that familiar yet strange feeling, Charles hesitated.

"There's no other information. The goods those people are transporting are likely the key to the problem. I have a way to find out what they are." Charles said calmly.

Nathaniel took a deep breath. The reason he had waited so long was because the other party's movements were extremely cautious, leaving almost no clues behind.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Now that Charles said he had a way, Nathaniel had to consider it carefully.

"Alright, I have one request. You must ensure your safety and be ready for a quick escape. I'll be heading to Flower Falls City directly." Nathaniel said.

After discussing the matters, Charles hung up the phone. Nathaniel would notify Luna and the girl named Snow.

Now, what Charles needed to do was remember what that familiar feeling was and what the goods being transported to Flower Falls City were!

"I'm ready. We can begin." Charles took a deep breath.

In his heart, there was still a yearning for the truth, a desire to reclaim the memories he had lost!

The [Mysterious Fragment] could assist him, but Charles preferred to have complete control over himself, including his memories.

He was aware of the [Spiritual sensitivity] indicated by the information before him, yet he couldn't recall who had mentioned it.

All the answers would be revealed soon enough.

After hearing Charles's words, Wesley nodded vigorously and said slowly:

"Good kid, you truly are the young hero of Genosha. Once this is all over, I'll give you a chance. Just help me with a few things, and I'll give you what you desire."

Then, Wesley led Charles to a small room behind the blacksmith's shop.

The blazing furnace continuously heated the surrounding air, causing the previously calm atmosphere to ripple like a lake.

Wesley took a deep breath, pulled out a red stone the size of his pinky finger, and placed it on top of his smoking pipe. Instantly, the tobacco was ignited, releasing a fiery red smoke.

Wesley showed no hesitation and began to place the smoking pipe in his mouth, taking deep inhales and exhales.

The once ordinary smoking pipe transformed into a brilliant red, as if heated by intense temperatures!
