Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints
Chapter 544 - 544: Such a Waste“According to what you’re saying, Charles must have already sensed Kingston’s team’s intentions, and that’s why he deliberately made this choice?”
“That’s right, it must be that way. If nothing unexpected happens, Charles will most likely try to avoid an early battle in the swamp,” the person analyzing the situation said, confidently predicting Charles’s next move.
At that moment, Miles Carter had also returned to his usual demeanor. He calmly watched Charles, waiting for him to announce that he had chosen the swamp as the starting point.
Having already realized Miles’s intentions and the upcoming strategy, Charles must have given up the priority choice to avoid an early confrontation. He likely aimed to focus on hunting ferocious beasts in order to gather a large amount of Blood-red Jade and secure victory through that.
Due to the different environments, the number of ferocious beasts varied, with the forest being the most abundant, the wilderness the least, and other locations more or less the same.
Charles would definitely choose the swamp as his starting point. Miles Carter thought for a moment and felt that there was no need to continue listening.
Just as he was about to turn away, Charles’s voice suddenly rang out.
“I choose the western wilderness as the starting point.”
Miles Carter whipped around, his narrowed eyes widening halfway, staring intently at Charles. Initially, his gaze was full of surprise and confusion, but then it seemed like something clicked in his mind, and his expression shifted. Slowly, he said:
“It seems you’re very confident in your own strength.”
Charles glanced at Miles Carter, nodded, and said calmly, “You should be able to guess what I’m about to do. See you tomorrow.”
With that, Charles turned and left the drawing area, accompanied by Zachary, Luma, Finn, and Luna, leaving behind a crowd of bewildered spectators and a solemn-faced Miles Carter.
“Wait, what’s going on here? Didn’t you say Charles would choose the swamp as the starting point?” one of the spectators immediately asked the person who had been analyzing the situation earlier.
“I don’t know. I’m just a tactical analysis enthusiast. I really have no idea what Charles is thinking,” the person said, tugging at his hair, his face filled with confusion.
He lowered his head, muttering to himself, “What is he planning to do tomorrow, what is he planning to do tomorrow…”
“Confident in his own strength?”
“Could it be…?”
“No, would Charles really be this bold and reckless? No, it’s not recklessness!” The person suddenly looked up, staring at Charles’s departing figure with excitement and admiration in his eyes.
The other spectators around him were even more confused. They quickly asked:
“What did you just realize? Hurry up and tell us, you’re making us anxious!”
The person nodded and replied, “I understand now. Charles is thinking differently from all of us. We, because Kingston’s team has more Level 5 Beast Masters, assumed that we should avoid battle as much as possible, hunting ferocious beasts and gathering enough Blood-red Jade.”
“Isn’t that the right approach?” someone asked, confused.
The person shook his head and said, “For us, yes, it’s the best choice. But for Charles, it’s not. He must be planning to harass Kingston’s team as much as possible in the early stages, especially with Luna. Even if he can’t deal any significant damage to Kingston, he will aim to slow them down!”
“That’s right, it must be like that. Who says we can only avoid combat? Why can’t we take the initiative?”
“As long as we maintain the right distance and use our superior mobility, having two people slow down the other five—our chances of winning this battle are very high!”
“That’s Charles for you. Most people wouldn’t even think of such a strategy, and even if they did, they definitely wouldn’t dare to use it. If they weren’t particularly confident, they’d probably lose two people right at the start, and the match would be over instantly!”
Upon hearing this, all the Genosha spectators were stunned. In their minds, facing a team with more Level 5 Beast Masters from Kingston, there was no concept of taking the initiative. All they were thinking about was how to avoid the battle and gather Blood-red Jade as much as possible!
Avoiding the strong had already become a deep-rooted mindset in them, and a strategy like Charles’s was something they never even dared to consider!
“But what if something unexpected happens? Wouldn’t that mean we’re definitely going to lose?” someone couldn’t help but mutter under their breath.
“If it were someone else, maybe. But the person making this decision is Charles, and he must be confident!” the person who had been analyzing the strategy slowly said.
“So, Charles, are you planning to go alone to the high mountain where Kingston’s team is starting, while the rest of us quickly head to the central canyon area to hunt enough ferocious beasts and gather enough Blood-red Jade?” Zachary asked, his gaze towards Charles filled with complexity.
After returning to the hotel, Charles explained why he had chosen the wilderness as the starting point.
Starting from the wilderness meant the road was much smoother, and since there were fewer ferocious beasts, they could travel faster. Once they reached the central canyon area, they could hunt a large number of ferocious beasts and gather enough Blood-red Jade.
However, there was one issue: Kingston had more Level 5 Beast Masters, and their speed in hunting ferocious beasts would be faster. How could Charles ensure that Luna, Finn, and the others would hunt more beasts and ultimately win the battle?
There were two ways to solve this problem: one was to increase the speed at which his team hunted ferocious beasts, and the other was to slow down Kingston’s team.
Charles had a solution for this. His role was primarily focused on long-range attacks. As long as he could harass Kingston’s team while they hunted ferocious beasts, he could solve the problem.
But, this also meant that Charles would face far more pressure than anyone else. He would essentially be facing the entire Kingston team of genius Beast Masters by himself, all while keeping an eye out for attacks from ferocious beasts in the red zone.
“Isn’t that too dangerous, Charles? Maybe you and Luna should go together. That way, you could…” Nathaniel said, thinking carefully before speaking, clearly concerned about Charles’s safety.
Charles shook his head and replied, “No need. I’ll be more discreet alone, and Zachary and the others will need Luna’s help to hunt the ferocious beasts.”
Upon hearing Charles’s words, Zachary, Luma, and Finn looked at him. If they were to follow through with this strategy, Charles was the only one in the team who could pull it off.
“Alright, we’ll go with your plan,” Zachary said, taking a deep breath and speaking seriously to Charles.
Charles calmly waved his hand. To be honest, this mission was extremely dangerous for the others, but it was nothing too concerning for him. With his new long-range attack capabilities, plus Mia watching over the enemy’s movements from the sky, he was confident.
Moreover, if the pressure became too great, he could always draw the mystical beasts from the red zone toward Kingston’s team, while using his darkness cloak to swiftly escape the battlefield.
He wasn’t really planning to engage Kingston’s genius Beast Masters in direct combat. That would be too foolish and risky, especially since Charles always had the feeling that the person named Miles Carter wasn’t as simple as he appeared.
“But that’s also what makes things a little interesting,” Charles thought, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Finding the right opponent wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for him.
Honestly, that Miles Carter was smarter than any of Genosha’s other genius Beast Masters. Not only was he intelligent, but he was also cautious.
Charles had a vague sense that the opponent surely had other tricks up his sleeve. It wasn’t so much a gut feeling as it was a conclusion he had drawn after analyzing the other’s tactical arrangements, decisions, expressions, and other factors.
“I’ll observe how he responds tomorrow. That should give me an idea of whether or not he has any final tricks up his sleeve,” Charles slowly analyzed in his mind.
Meanwhile, in the same hotel, Miles Carter was in his room, standing by the window, gazing out at the distant red zone while lost in thought.
“It’s really unexpected. A lamb trying to fight back against a wolf pack. Either it has a way to kill the wolves, or it’s gone mad.”
“Has Charles gone mad?”
“No, he hasn’t. This guy is actually getting me excited,” Miles Carter said as he slowly removed his black glasses, silently wiping them clean.
He could roughly guess Charles’ strategy for tomorrow, which is why he had said at the drawing ceremony, “You’re quite confident in your abilities.”
Looking at it from another perspective, if he were the commander of the Genosha team, he wouldn’t have made such a tactical decision like Charles did, because the risks were just too high.
“Well, let’s see. Over the next seven days, will you manage to push me into a corner, forcing me to use my last resort, or will I set a trap and lure you into it?”
While thinking about Charles’ strategy, Miles Carter came up with a countermeasure. He could use the same tactic as Charles—have Skylar or himself leave the team and lock onto Genosha’s genius Beast Master team.
However, in that case, Charles would have two options. He could either seize the opportunity to eliminate Skylar or himself while they were separated, or he could trust his teammates to hold out longer.
Miles Carter thought back to Charles’ calm gaze and the words he had said before parting: “See you tomorrow.”
He didn’t feel entirely confident. He thought that if he followed through with this plan, it might lead to the failure of the entire competition.
“If we hadn’t secretly communicated with Celestial City and acquired the means to make a group of Level-6 ferocious beasts go into a Frenzy, I would have no choice but to take the risk and gamble. It’s a shame, Charles, but you can’t change the outcome,” Miles Carter said slowly as he put his glasses back on, gazing at the distant red zone. In his mind, it seemed like the perfect place for a tomb.
