Chapter 267 Might Not Be Able to Participate in the Fight
In the vast underground space, only a dozen figures were busy cleaning the area.
In the boss\'s office,
Golden stood in front of the desk, hunched over with his head down, looking at a girl sitting in the chair.
She was a petite girl, only about one hundred and fifty centimeters tall, wearing a pink fluffy dress, with a ponytail and holding a pink lollipop in her hand.
Icy also stood next to Golden, unlike Golden, he wasn\'t as tense or humble and appeared quite casual.
"Cecilia, I\'m really curious. How did the organization send you here? Shouldn\'t it have been someone else?" Icy asked helplessly.
He hated dealing with immature kids, and working under someone like that would surely lead to all sorts of trouble.
"Icy, what kind of expression is that? Do you not want me here? If that\'s the case, I\'ll just leave." Cecilia immediately jumped off her chair, wanting to walk away.
Golden, who had been hunched over, quickly reached out his hand and pleaded, "My lady, please don\'t go! You\'re the only one in the organization with the authority. If you leave, what are we supposed to do?"
"Lord Icy is just joking. After he found out you were coming, he was actually quite happy, really!"
Golden looked at the two young people in front of him, feeling utterly helpless. He could only try his best to pacify them.
Otherwise, if Cecilia really did leave, it would just be him and Icy left, and he had no qualifications to represent the Dawn organization in contacting Charles!
According to the rules,
as long as someone completed the "Reaper\'s Scythe" challenge, a member of the Dawn organization would reach out to the successful challenger.
They would conduct an assessment within a certain time frame,
and then arrange for relevant tasks. Only after completing those tasks could one temporarily join the Dawn.
Cecilia was the only one with that authority, Icy didn\'t qualify yet.
"Hehe, I was just joking! But I\'ve heard this Charles is really impressive, even Icy isn\'t his match. Is that true?" Cecilia fixed her gaze on Icy and asked.
She was doing it on purpose.
After all, Icy always wore a cold expression, as if everyone owed him money, which annoyed Cecilia greatly.
Faced with Cecilia\'s question, Icy didn\'t respond. He had already come to terms with the reality.
The Divine Domain was a very powerful self-created combat technique, and Charles was a genius stronger than him.
There was no denying that, even if Charles was better than him now, it was only temporary.
He wouldn\'t be unable to defeat Charles forever, there was still plenty of time ahead.
In a year or two, perhaps Charles would become his defeated foe!
"Cecilia, don\'t forget the reason you\'re here. I don\'t have time to play house with you." Icy said slowly.
He was someone who valued efficiency in his work, and he was quite annoyed by Cecilia\'s casual attitude.
"Okay, since Charles\'s subsequent battles are already determined, there\'s really no need to wait any longer. The other ace-level Beast Masters definitely won\'t be his match." Cecilia said as she licked her pink lollipop.
She savored the sweetness on her tongue before continuing,
"I\'m not in a rush right now, I have another task. We can talk about Charles after the battle is completely over."
Icy paused for a moment.
What other task? He had no idea at all!
Cecilia glanced at Icy and said proudly, "You\'re curious, aren\'t you? Too bad your level is too low, I can\'t tell you!"
With that, Cecilia turned around and left. .net
Golden and Icy exchanged glances, both letting out a sigh.
...
On the other side,
in the Taylor family, in Benson\'s study,
a mysterious figure suddenly appeared, startling Benson, who was reading.
"What\'s going on? Why such a sudden visit today? Did something happen?" Benson quickly asked.
In the past, this mysterious person had always been very calm, as if nothing could surprise him.
But today, for some reason, Benson could clearly sense the unease radiating from him.
"Something has indeed happened. The Taylor family should not make any moves during this period, everything must stop temporarily and wait for further news!" The mysterious person\'s words came out quickly,
and his tone seemed a bit off, as if something very important was at stake.
It was the first time Benson had encountered such a situation, and he quickly pressed for more information, "What exactly has happened?"
The mysterious person took a deep breath, trying to digest the news he had just received.
"I can\'t tell you just yet. This matter has caught even us by surprise, we can only wait and see for now. Remember, do not make any moves until we notify you!"
"Make sure to remember this!"
The mysterious person seemed a bit uneasy and repeated it for emphasis.
After seeing Benson nod, the mysterious figure vanished again into the darkness.
Benson was left alone in the study, feeling completely baffled.
"Could it be that Ezra has returned? That shouldn\'t be the case, even Ezra wouldn\'t cause this kind of panic!" Benson pondered hard.
The fact that the mysterious person had issued a notification to halt all actions and go into hiding indicated that something very serious was going on.
However, the Taylor family had no information at all, and Benson began to feel anxious.
He quickly informed everyone in the Taylor family that, unless there was something extremely important, they were prohibited from leaving the Taylor family estate.
Especially Zane, Benson ordered him to stay at home and not go out, even confiscating Zane\'s phone and computer.
Throughout Genosha Calivia,
it seemed that only the Taylor family had received this news and started to retreat.
Other prominent families continued on as usual, as if nothing had happened at all.
Meanwhile, at Cyber Academy,
Charles arrived at the Dean\'s office, wanting to inquire about any news regarding Teacher Ezra.
To his surprise, the only person in the office was Teacher Hale, who was busy handling some documents.
"Ah, Charles, is there something you need today?" Hale asked.
Charles replied, "I wanted to check with the Dean to see if there\'s any new information about Teacher Ezra."
Hale sighed and said slowly, "Not at the moment. The Dean left early this morning, he must have other matters to attend to."
Charles accepted this,
but just as he was about to leave, Jamie\'s figure suddenly appeared at the doorway.
Upon seeing Charles, he said with a serious expression, "Charles, you might not be able to participate in today\'s battle."
"What! What happened?"
Both Hale and Charles were filled with confusion.
"Especially since Charles has already defeated the strongest Icy, the remaining opponents are just ordinary ace-level Beast Masters."
"If he can\'t participate in tonight\'s battle, doesn\'t that mean he\'s giving up on the \'Reaper\'s Scythe\' challenge?"
If that\'s the case, not only would Teacher Colton be unable to obtain the alchemy materials, but Charles would also lose the opportunity to connect with the [Dawn] organization!
"What exactly is going on, Dean? Why can\'t I participate in tonight\'s battle?" Charles asked again.
Jamie\'s serious expression remained unchanged.
He walked in from the doorway and sat down in the chair by the window, slowly beginning to speak:
"The reason you can\'t participate in the battle is that someone has arrived in Genosha Calivia today."
"Someone? Who? What does that have to do with my battle tonight?" Charles felt extremely confused.
The fact that he couldn\'t participate in the underground octagonal cage battle was just because someone had come to Genosha?
What was going on?
Hale, however, seemed to remember something after hearing Jamie\'s words, and his face showed an expression of disbelief as he slowly said:
"Dean, is it that person?"
Jamie nodded and looked at Hale with a complex gaze, slowly saying:
"Exactly, he\'s here. Hale, whether your curse can be lifted depends on him!"
Charles listened to their conversation, completely baffled.
Soon, after his inquiries, Jamie and Hale explained everything to him.
A legendary ninth-level Beast Master had come to Genosha Calivia today!
The ninth-level Beast Master known as the Radiant Knight! Lucas!
"A ninth-level Beast Master!" Charles was very surprised, he originally thought it would be someone else, but it turned out to be a ninth-level Beast Master!
And judging by the title, he seemed to be a good person.
However, looking at Jamie and Hale\'s expressions, it seemed that things were not that simple.
"Sigh, this person is very peculiar, he cannot tolerate even a hint of dark attribute Beast Masters. If he sees you, Charles, you could be in trouble." Jamie sighed.
He was feeling a bit of a headache, it just so happened that a ninth-level Beast Master arrived at this moment!
If it had been a few days later, after Charles completed the \'Reaper\'s Scythe\' challenge, there wouldn\'t have been any issues.
But it had to be today!
Even without summoning a mystical beast, Charles would still exude dark attribute energy, and that wouldn\'t go unnoticed by a ninth-level Beast Master.
If the other party came to the underground world and saw Charles fighting,
Jamie, as an eighth-level Beast Master, would have no confidence in being able to ensure Charles\'s safety.
So the best solution was to keep Charles hidden in Cyber Academy, that way, there wouldn\'t be any unexpected incidents.
But doing so would mean he couldn\'t complete the \'Reaper\'s Scythe\' challenge!
"Can\'t tolerate dark attribute Beast Masters? Dean, what\'s wrong with dark attribute Beast Masters? I haven\'t done anything wrong." Charles said, puzzled.
Does being a dark attribute Beast Master automatically make someone a bad person?
"There\'s nothing we can do, he\'s a ninth-level Beast Master." Jamie replied, feeling a bit overwhelmed as he tried to think of a solution.
