Upon hearing this, Charles fell into silence. He desperately wanted the families who had lost children to know the truth.

But he also knew that this was something he could not change!

Who would believe the words of a third-level Beast Master anyway?

"Don\'t think too much about it, Charles. There are some things you can\'t change right now. Focus on becoming stronger first." Jamie comforted him.

Charles nodded, he clearly understood what he needed to do.

"Director, yesterday on my way back to the academy, I encountered that eighth-level Beast Master." Charles said calmly as he recounted what had happened. As soon as he spoke, Jamie\'s figure appeared right in front of Charles.

"What! Are you sure? That eighth-level Beast Master didn\'t escape?" Jamie\'s expression was particularly serious and shocked!

He had faced that eighth-level Beast Master from Constellation yesterday and knew how strong the opponent was. Having such a person lurking within Genosha Calivia was a significant threat!

However, Jamie was even more curious about how Charles had managed to survive the encounter with that eighth-level Beast Master.

"Charles, tell me everything that happened yesterday in detail. Don\'t leave out any details." Jamie asked.

Charles recounted the events of his encounter with the eighth-level Beast Master step by step.

As he listened, Jamie paced back and forth in the office, displaying signs of unease and urgency.

As the director of Cyber Academy, Jamie knew more than the average person, yet this was the first time he had heard about the Constellation organization!

As for the notion of the world facing destruction, he didn\'t take it seriously at all, dismissing it as the fantasy of a fanatical organization.

However, the idea that everything was fate\'s arrangement piqued Jamie\'s curiosity. He asked Charles, "Is there anything else?"

"There shouldn\'t be, Director." Charles replied.

In his earlier account, he hadn\'t mentioned the hallucinations or the eyes that had grown on the eighth-level Beast Master\'s palm.

For some instinctive reason, Charles felt he needed to visit Teacher Colton. Would the strange tentacle he saw in the hidden room that day produce the same hallucination as the one he experienced last night?

Director Jamie stared into Charles\'s eyes, remaining silent as he pondered what had allowed Charles to survive against an eighth-level Beast Master.

"Charles, I will report the situation regarding Constellation to the Cyber Academy headquarters. Don\'t overthink it, your primary focus should be on strengthening your abilities." Jamie said.

Charles nodded. It was almost class time, and he didn\'t plan to go to the classroom. He needed to visit Colton first.

"By the way, Director, can you help me talk to the teacher? I have some matters to discuss with Teacher Colton." Charles directly asked.

Director Jamie nodded, indicating that this was a minor request.

He watched Charles walk out of the office, lost in thought as a previous suspicion resurfaced in his mind.

"Does Charles have any connection to the Constellation organization? He also possesses the dark attribute, he..." Jamie mused while opening the hidden communication device in his office to relay the information Charles had just mentioned to the Cyber Academy headquarters.

Meanwhile, Charles hurried to Colton\'s cabin, knocking on the door only to find that Colton was not there, apparently having stepped out for some reason.

However, tonight was designated for alchemy knowledge instruction, so Colton should be back by then.

Charles thought for a moment, since he had already taken the day off, he might as well use the time this morning to head to the Beast Master Guild and claim the reward for the bounty mission.

Perfectly timed, he could then go to the Forging Masters Guild and ask Xavier to enhance his black gold long knife.

Without further ado, Charles sent a message to Celestine, asking if she was free to join him at the Beast Master Guild.

At that moment, Celestine was in the middle of a class. She glanced at the teacher in front of her and then at the message Charles had sent on her phone.

Without any hesitation, Celestine replied: [I happen to be free. After completing the task, I need to be there as a fourth-level Beast Master. Charles, please wait for me a moment, and I\'ll meet you at the entrance of Cyber Academy!]

Charles put away his phone, feeling a bit confused. It was clearly faster to go directly to the Beast Master Guild, why meet at the entrance of Cyber Academy?

But it didn\'t matter, Celestine had helped him a lot recently.

With that in mind, Charles went to a nearby café and bought two cups of handcrafted coffee, waiting for Celestine to arrive at the entrance.

After quite a while, Celestine finally appeared before Charles.

She was wearing denim shorts, and her legs were wrapped in black stockings, glimmering under the sunlight.

As for her upper body, she wore a fiery red tank top, and with every step she took, her chest bounced up and down, momentarily distracting Charles.

"Sorry, I got caught up with something just now. Is this coffee for me?" Celestine said, bringing her hands together and bowing in apology.

Charles was significantly taller than Celestine, and from his vantage point, he could see everything inside her tank top quite clearly.

"It\'s fine. Here, I bought the coffee a while ago, so it\'s not as cold anymore. Should we go get a fresh one?" Charles asked.

Celestine took the coffee from Charles and started drinking it. In truth, she could have arrived a bit earlier, but she had gotten delayed by changing her clothes and doing her makeup.

"Let\'s go to the Beast Master Guild, Charles! I\'m really curious about how you completed the task yesterday!" Celestine said, leaning closer to Charles, tilting her head, and blinking her eyes.

Charles didn\'t resist and offered a brief explanation.

As they chatted, they made their way into the Beast Master Guild.

Inside the Beast Master Guild, there were already a dozen people waiting, including those Beast Masters who had accepted the investigation into the missing children.

Among them was Jason Long, a fifth-level Beast Master, who had arrived early and was simply watching the entrance, hoping to spot Charles.

Many Beast Masters had sensed the commotion from yesterday\'s conflict in Calivia. The higher the Beast Master\'s level, the better they could discern that it was a battle between high-tier Beast Masters!

Initially, Jason Long hadn\'t connected it to the missing children case, but this morning, he saw the news on his phone.

He finally understood that everything was caused by Charles, it was Charles who investigated the enemies behind the missing children cases and pinpointed their locations!

When Charles had asked him if he wanted to continue the investigation.

Jason Long had replied with determination, but after his family was threatened, he chose to back down!

With a heart full of complex emotions, Jason Long looked at Charles\'s figure outside the door and lowered his head.

The transfer of the bounty task went smoothly and didn\'t require any key evidence, after all, today\'s news clearly stated that it was because of Charles\'s investigation that twenty-six innocent children were saved!

"No wonder they call him genius Charles, how does he do it? I can\'t understand it at all!"

"What genius! A genius doesn\'t even deserve to be compared to Charles! Being a genius is just the threshold to meet Charles!"

"Are you as smart as Charles? If you could figure it out, you would have become a hero like him long ago!"

Charles ignored the murmurs around him, he had grown accustomed to it, and the rare orange-quality metal materials were successfully obtained.

Just as Charles was about to leave the Beast Master Guild, he spotted Jason Long and hesitated for a moment before walking over.

Jason Long sat on the sofa in the hall with his head down, and in his line of sight, Charles\'s shadow slowly appeared.

"Thank you, I was able to complete this task, and you contributed quite a bit as well." Charles said.

Immediately, all eyes in the room turned to Jason Long.

"I—I don\'t deserve it!" Jason Long suddenly raised his head and looked at Charles\'s serious expression as he replied.

Charles shook his head and explained, "What\'s done is done, you did help me at the beginning, and that\'s a fact you can\'t refute!"

Jason Long was momentarily taken aback, then slowly nodded in acknowledgment.

Charles continued with a hint of regret, "Things can\'t be changed now, and neither can I. If there\'s ever anything you need in the future, just come to me, I\'ll definitely help if I can!"

This was Charles\'s promise, even if Jason Long chose to back down, it couldn\'t be denied that he had helped Charles investigate the case!

Charles would never ignore those who had helped him.

Jason Long also understood that the number of missing children exceeded what an ordinary person could imagine, and the official reports only covered a small fraction of it.

He realized what Charles meant when he said, "Things cannot be changed."

Nodding with deep gratitude, he felt fortunate that Charles was smart enough to get to the bottom of things, otherwise, he would have been burdened with guilt and self-blame forever.

"It should be you who helped me, Charles! Thank you." Jason Long said firmly as he watched Charles\'s departing figure.

At the same time, just as Charles stepped out of the Beast Master Guild, he was instantly surrounded by a crowd.

These people didn\'t seem to be Beast Masters, they were just ordinary citizens.

Charles was about to ask what was going on when, to his astonishment, they all knelt down before him.
