"Facing Seven's pleas for rcy, I thought you would choose to forgive him in front of so many people, but I was surprised to see you had no such thoughts at all," Nathaniel said with satisfaction.
As the most renowned iron-fisted minister of Genosha, Nathaniel despised unnecessary kindness and rcy.
Especially toward soone like Seven; forgiving him would only give him another chance to target Charles!
Nathaniel had been through too much; everyone knows the story of the farr and the snake, yet so fools always seem to forget it at crucial monts.
Fortunately, Charles was not that kind of person; Nathaniel was very pleased with how he treated his enemies!

The more Nathaniel watched Charles, the more satisfied he beca, especially after what Emperor Miles of Genosha had said to him; his gaze was like that of soone watching a sun rising on the horizon.
"By the way, you should take so ti to communicate with my daughter, Luna. You both are the top geniuses of Genosha, and more interaction could lead to even greater progress," Nathaniel said with a smile.
Jamie looked at Nathaniel with so surprise. After all, for Nathaniel, Luna was his heart's desire.
In the past, there had been other genius youths from Genosha who tried to catch Luna's attention.
They even deliberately staged so clichéd scenarios to get closer to her, only to be severely punished by Nathaniel.
Those teenage boys ended up in the hospital, unable to get out of bed for half a month!
One of them was a mber of the royal family—specifically, Prince Avery's son from Genosha.
Even the prince's son was beaten when he tried to approach Luna, yet now Nathaniel was actively encouraging Charles to interact more with her.
If those boys found out about this, it would be quite the scandal.
As Jamie thought about this, he glanced at Charles again and then shook his head. Only Charles could be the exception; if those boys who once wanted to approach Luna knew it was Charles, they would probably think nothing of it.
After all, he had beco the leader of the youths in Genosha, an undisputed leader.
Especially after this incident, Charles's status in the eyes of others beca even more solidified.
Even though Luna's Beast Master level was higher than Charles's, it made no difference.
"By the way, Charles, you can take a good rest now. For the competition among the three academies, you only need to make an appearance at the end, and no one will object," Jamie said, recalling sothing.
Charles was a bit surprised, but after thinking it over, he realized that among the young people in Genosha, only one level five Beast Master, Luna, might be his opponent; the others posed no threat to him.
There was also Finn, but he hadn't heard much about him lately; he could reach out later to see if there were any updates regarding the Constellation organization.
"Okay, Dean. I just want to take a break and relax a bit," Charles replied slowly.
Upon hearing this, Jamie smiled and said, "Even if you go out, you'll have to wait two days. I received word that the area outside the academy is packed with people wanting to see you."
"The crowd waiting for you is larger than what you would see if the Emperor himself visited Cyber Academy."
Charles thought for a mont; he had nearly been unable to return to the academy after the duel.
The crowd had been so enthusiastic that as soon as the duel ended, they rushed up to him. If Jamie hadn't lifted him into the air, he would have had a hard ti getting back to the academy.
In a situation like that, even using the darkness cloak wouldn't have been effective for escape.
In the confinent room of the Stellar Empire's royal palace,
Silas lay on the cold concrete bed, filled with anticipation. He casually shook his head and humd traditional songs from the Stellar Empire, feeling completely relaxed and in a good mood.
"What could be more thrilling than seeing an enemy suffer? The answer is personally making the enemy feel pain and taste defeat!"
"Damn Charles, now you can understand how I felt back in the Eye of Ice and Fire, can't you? If I calculate the ti, it should be about ti for you to lose the duel."
"Now I'm just waiting for the news of your failure to arrive; it's my only comfort in this confinent!"
Silas kept thinking, eagerly anticipating Charles's downfall.
It was a bit regrettable that he couldn't be there in person to savor Charles's displayed suffering and unwillingness, nor could he watch a live broadcast of it.
After all, being able to receive any news in the royal confinent room of the Stellar Empire was already quite good.
At that mont, a sound of footsteps echoed through the room.
Silas's eyes lit up as he jumped up from the concrete bed, eagerly walking to the iron door.
Soon, a thin sheet of paper was slid under the door.
With a broad smile on his face, Silas slowly read the ssage on the paper.
However, his joy and excitent vanished in an instant, replaced by an even greater anger!
"Useless! All of you are useless! What genius alchemist from the Haunted Marsh? What master-level alchemist from the Haunted Marsh? They are all worthless, unable to even deal with Charles!"
"I'm so furious! I can hardly stand it! Charles has actually beco a special-level alchemist!"
"Soone co! I want to get out of here!"
Silas shouted crazily, wanting to leave imdiately and issue a bounty on Charles's head. Only that would alleviate the anger boiling inside him.
The thought of how he had just acted made him feel like a clown!
Silas clenched the paper tightly in his hand, his face dark as a demon. All he could think about was regaining all his power and then thoroughly taking revenge on Charles!
"I will make you understand what true pain is!" Silas's voice echoed hauntingly in the confinent room.
...
In Kingston,
On his steel throne, Emperor Ocean looked at the intelligence reports in his hands, maintaining his composure while deep in thought.
Now that Quinn's plans had failed, he had to bear the consequences himself. Not only would he face accountability from the alchemist guild of the Haunted Marsh, but his opponents had also seized the opportunity, aning he wouldn't have much energy to spare in the near future.
Their plan to have Quinn support Kingston and restrict Genosha had also fallen through.
"Bring all the information on this Charles, and order the intelligence personnel to spare no effort in investigating everything about him, including his birthplace, his neighbors, and so on. I want everything thoroughly investigated!" Ocean said slowly.
Several ministers from Kingston exchanged glances, and then one stepped forward and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, I believe this Charles will beco a threat to Kingston. Based on the intelligence we have, he is likely a genius even more powerful than Luna."
"Soone like that in Genosha poses the greatest threat to us; we absolutely cannot allow him to grow!"
Ocean nodded in agreent; he felt the sa way.
Charles's talent was indeed terrifying, and he did not want to see another master-level alchemist erge from Genosha!
"Let's leave this matter to our spies in Genosha. They will take action against Charles when the opportunity arises. We must decisively crush such a genius in the cradle; we cannot allow him to flourish!" Ocean ordered directly.
In just a few days, Charles's reputation among the people of Kingston had risen to a high level.
Just a few days ago, no one would have thought Charles could win this duel, especially against Seven, the genius alchemist from the Haunted Marsh!
Charles had easily defeated Seven, and it was said that Quinn had trembled in shock after witnessing Charles's alchemy!
Ocean took a deep breath, and once his mind was calm, he began to speak slowly:
"The competition between the talented youths of Kingston and Genosha is about to begin. This ti, we must seize the opportunity to eliminate those talented individuals from Genosha!"
"Your Majesty, this plan is already underway, and it will certainly inflict heavy losses on Genosha!" one of the ministers imdiately stated.
"That would be good. If there isn't an opportunity to eliminate Charles soon, we can always deal with him later," Ocean thought for a mont. He believed that Charles would certainly be under full protection from Genosha at this ti.
...
At Cyber Academy, Charles transferred four hundred gold coins from his bank card to the account of the Seven Kingdoms rchant Association without a second thought. This was the amount he had previously agreed upon with Danel for helping him collect tal materials.
Just a mont ago, the first batch of tal materials had been delivered, totaling twenty-seven gold coins and five hundred copper coins.
Charles found it a bit of a hassle to settle accounts each ti, so he decided to transfer a large sum of gold coins at once.
Looking at Little Gold, who was eating wildly, and Mia, who was swaying as she drank, Charles shook his head helplessly. Their tastes were indeed a bit unusual.
Max and Mousie, on the other hand, were much more normal and had no bad habits.
Next, he needed to focus on leveling up his mystical beasts. After all, the levels of his mystical beasts had beco one of Charles's weaker points. He was now a Level Four Beast Master, but Mousie and Max were still under Level Thirty.
"I just wonder if the materials needed for the four mystical beasts to advance will require a lot of ti to find, like last ti. It would be great if I could easily buy them with gold coins," Charles thought to himself.
He certainly wasn't lacking in gold coins at the mont; at least, he wouldn't be in the short term.
