Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

“Humph, such an arrogant guy. If I give you the priority choice, you definitely won’t let us go first. Instead, you’d choose the forest as the starting point right away.”

“That way, I can choose the area next to you and strike in the middle of the way!”

“Let’s test the waters first. If anything unexpected happens, we’ll still have time to use our trump card when we get close to the center area’s canyon,” Miles Carter said, a clear smile gradually forming on his lips as he watched Charles control his attribute energy and place it into the nearby box.

No matter what sphere Charles drew, the initiative would always be in Miles Carter’s hands.

Simply put, if Charles picked the white sphere representing the priority choice, he would immediately choose the forest as the starting point.

If Charles drew the black sphere, the priority would fall to him, and he would let Charles go first anyway. The outcome would be the same.

From the beginning, the Kingston team didn’t plan on just hunting mystical beasts in the red zone to acquire the [Blood-red Jade]. Instead, they aimed to take the offensive and directly eliminate the Genosha team’s talented Beast Masters here!

Soon, under Miles Carter’s expectant gaze, Charles used his wind attribute energy to take out a white sphere from the box.

The Genosha audience instantly erupted in excitement. They all knew that if they gained an advantage from the very start, their chances of winning later would be even higher.

“Nice! Starting with such good luck, our team is definitely going to choose the forest as the starting point. This location is definitely more advantageous than the other three!”

“Yeah, Charles is so lucky!”

“If we start in the forest, as long as we play it safe—hunt ferocious beasts for [Blood-red Jade] while heading towards the finish line—it’s a solid plan!”

“I’m curious now… since we’re going to choose the forest as the starting point, I wonder what the Kingston side will pick as their starting location?”

More and more people were becoming curious about Kingston’s choice. In most people’s minds, it was clear that Charles would use his priority right to choose the forest as the starting point.

The drawing ceremony was being broadcast live, and at this moment, inside the Genosha palace, in the grand hall, Miles watched the screen showing the white sphere. His face remained impassive, but his fingers, gripping the dragon throne, were slightly pale from the pressure of his grip.

“Good! This means that the initiative for the opening move is now in our hands!” One of the ministers swung his right arm forcefully in the air, full of excitement.

“Yes, although Kingston has more Level 5 Beast Masters than us, this competition will still depend on which side can gather the most Blood-red Jade. The outcome is still uncertain,” another minister added.

“Exactly. As long as we don’t make mistakes, we can take it slow and steady. The best strategy is to avoid being ambushed by Kingston’s talented Beast Masters!”

Miles listened to the discussions among the ministers, nodding slightly. His views were the same as theirs—if they could proceed cautiously and steadily, victory might still be within reach.

Choosing the forest as their starting point was the best choice!

However, at that moment, just when the Celestial City staff began asking Charles for his choice, an answer appeared that no one had expected.

“I choose to give the right to select the starting point to Kingston’s Beast Masters,” Charles said calmly in the footage.

In an instant, Miles, who had been sitting calmly on the dragon throne, swayed slightly, almost standing up.

The other ministers in the hall were also no longer composed. The joy and excitement that had been present earlier vanished, replaced by expressions of intense shock, confusion, and worry.

“How… how could this happen? Giving the priority selection to Kingston? Isn’t this cutting off our own advantage?”

“Yeah, after finally getting the priority selection, giving it directly to Kingston? That’s so stupid! Now Kingston will definitely choose the forest as their starting point!”

“What exactly is going on? Could there be something we missed?”

“Could this have been decided after Charles discussed it with Nathaniel and His Majesty?”

“I think so too. There’s no way Charles would make such a decision on a whim.”

As many ministers murmured among themselves, they quietly turned their eyes toward Genosha’s Emperor Miles, hoping that the Emperor could provide some clarification.

However, Miles was equally shocked and bewildered. In his mind, Charles should have chosen the forest as the starting point without hesitation. Why would he give the priority selection to Kingston?

What in the world was going on?

Miles took a deep breath. Once the shock and confusion in his heart had calmed slightly, he slowly turned his gaze to the other ministers in the room and said in a deep voice:

“I’ve entrusted all the tactical decisions for this contest to Charles. Whatever choice he makes, whatever decision he comes to, none of you are to complain. The Beast Masters of Kingston are indeed far stronger than my own, so even if the final result is failure, there’s nothing to say about it!”

“If anyone is to blame, it should be me. Under my rule, Genosha’s strength is still inferior to Kingston’s.”

Miles lowered his gaze, staring at the smooth, polished marble floor. Though he didn’t understand why Charles had made this choice, he still trusted him. And just to be safe, what Miles had just said was also for Charles’s benefit.

If they won, it would be because of the excellent performance of Charles and the others. If they lost, it would be because he, as the Emperor, failed to lead Genosha properly, resulting in their defeat.

“Charles, since I’ve chosen to trust you, I will not change my mind.” Miles took a deep breath, staring at Charles in the footage, firmly thinking to himself.

It wasn’t just the ministers of Genosha who didn’t understand Charles’s decision. Even Zachary, Luma, Finn, and Luna, who were present at the scene, were all stunned as they looked at Charles after hearing his choice.

They were more inclined to trust Charles than most people, so they didn’t say anything.

However, many people from Kingston in the crowd began to laugh loudly, saying:

“Hahaha, are you afraid? Too embarrassed to admit defeat, so you chose to give us the priority selection instead!”

“How ridiculous! What’s the point of saving face when you’re weak? You might as well just give up!”

“Is this your strongest genius from Genosha? Is this your hero? What kind of hero is this?”

“A waste is a waste!”

In the face of Kingston’s blatant ridicule, many Genosha people grew furious, but they too couldn’t understand Charles’s decision, so they didn’t know what to say.

Few noticed that, in the middle of the field, Miles Carter’s smile had disappeared completely. His eyes were slightly widened, and he was staring intently at Charles with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

“Are you… sure?” Miles Carter instinctively asked.

He had originally planned to let Charles and his team choose first, and then pick a starting point near Charles’s location. That way, the two teams would be closer together, making it easier to test each other out, and they could attack directly. They might even be able to eliminate Genosha’s talented Beast Masters before even reaching the central area’s canyon.

Now, he found himself in a passive position. Although choosing first had its advantages, for Miles Carter, he didn’t need to hunt ferocious beasts or gather large amounts of Blood-red Jade. Choosing the forest as the starting point wasn’t as crucial for him.

“Well, I’m quite sure. It’s your turn to choose the starting point for tomorrow,” Charles said calmly.

Miles Carter took a deep breath, looked back at his companions, then carefully studied Charles for a moment before turning to the Celestial City staff and saying:

“We choose the northern mountains as our starting point.”

As soon as Miles Carter’s words fell, everyone in the room, except for Charles, had expressions of surprise and disbelief on their faces.

The forest was clearly a more suitable starting point, so why wouldn’t they choose it and instead opt for the northern mountains?

Many people couldn’t understand, but a few quick-witted, clever individuals thought for a while and, recalling the strength of Kingston’s talented Beast Masters, tentatively said:

“Ah, it makes sense now. Kingston’s team never intended to properly hunt ferocious beasts or gather Blood-red Jade. Instead, they’re planning to use their numerical advantage in level 5 Beast Masters to ambush Charles and his team, and finish the contest early.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“Yes. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen the northern mountains as their starting point. This way, no matter whether Charles’s team chooses the forest or the wilderness, they’ll be close to the mountain starting point. Plus, the northern mountains offer a better vantage point to observe the details and will allow them to reach the central canyon area faster than the swamp starting point!”

“But if they want to make a move, why not just choose the fastest wilderness starting point?” someone asked, puzzled.

“If they chose the wilderness, it would mean they’re heading straight to the central canyon, where the final showdown happens. This Miles Carter person is clearly more cautious. He wants to test if he can eliminate Charles and his team halfway, increasing his margin for error. This guy has remarkable tactical awareness!”

Others began to catch on, understanding why Charles had chosen to give Kingston the priority in selecting the starting point.
