Miles carefully examined the ssage on his phone, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid. His reaction quickly drew the attention of those around him.
One minister whispered to the others nearby:
"The Emperor seems a bit agitated. Could it be that Nathaniel has news that Charles really has a way to save twenty percent of the tourists' lives?"
A few ministers entertained this thought and replied, "It's not impossible, but Charles is so young—only eighteen—and he's just a Level Four Beast Master. No matter how talented he is, in a situation like this, could he be overly optimistic?"
Most of the ministers nodded in agreent. They all felt the sa way. This was a matter of tens of thousands of lives, and trusting an eighteen-year-old prodigy seed a bit precarious.
Having experienced insufficient hardships, he might envision the future too positively. Only after facing setbacks and failures could he mature and beco as composed as they were.
"To be honest, I'm quite optimistic about Charles. If he gains a few more years of experience and becos a competent minister, it's a sure thing!" soone spoke up.
"A few years might not be enough. The more of a genius soone is, the more they need to refine their ntal strength and character." another person countered.
Just then, Miles suddenly pressed the button on the communication device and sent a ssage to Kingston:
[Sorry, Genosha has a much better way to save thirty percent of lives. Is that not a solution? You are incredibly foolish—not only foolish but also greedy, with no sense of morality.]
Miles intentionally crafted the ssage to be anything but official, this was his retaliation.
Before long, Kingston replied with a new ssage:
[There won't be a better way. The people of Genosha will surely rember this heavy day.]
Miles took a deep breath. That was certain. Regardless of whether the tourists in Flower Falls Gorge would survive, this day would beco a permanent mory for Genosha!
"Your Majesty! Why refuse Kingston? We have no other options!" One minister, upon seeing the ssage, imdiately stood up and spoke. Stay connected with empire
The minister's face was filled with worry and heaviness.
Miles raised his head and slowly scanned the room before saying, "Because we have a better plan. There's an eighty percent chance of saving everyone, and even if it fails, so tourists will still make it out alive."
Hearing Miles' words, the ministers instantly turned to him, and soone whispered:
"Could it be a solution proposed by Charles?"
Miles nodded and replied, "That's right, it's Charles! Nathaniel has already told he chooses to believe in Charles, and I choose to believe in him too."
The ministers who had previously expressed doubts about Charles could no longer hold back. They couldn't entrust the lives of tens of thousands to an eighteen-year-old boy!
"Your Majesty, Charles is too young. His ideas might not be comprehensive, there could be oversights..." soone cautiously suggested.
Before he could finish, Miles abruptly interrupted, saying:
"Enough! If Charles says he has a solution, then he has a solution! I believe in him, and the people of Genosha believe in him! That's all that matters!"
"If the tourists in Flower Falls Gorge could choose, they would choose to believe in Charles as well."
Miles paused, looking at the ministers in front of him, and spoke slowly yet firmly, "Because he is a hero of Genosha, a young hero, a true genius!"
Outside Flower Falls Gorge,
After Charles finished detailing everything, Nathaniel thought for a mont, his expression sowhat skeptical.
Charles sighed. There were few people who knew about what was inside him, only the Level Nine Beast Master, Lucas, was fully aware.
Therefore, he didn't plan to go into too much detail with Nathaniel.
Nathaniel hesitated for a mont, then looked resolutely at Charles and nodded, conveying this information to Emperor Miles of Genosha.
After a while, he received Miles' reply, a simple sentence:
[Everything follows Charles' arrangents.]
Nathaniel looked at the ssage, slightly bowed his head, and slowly said to Charles, "The Emperor has given the order, you can make all the decisions yourself, and I will fully comply with your arrangents."
"Everything follows your command!"
This ti, his voice had no hint of concealnt, and he deliberately raised his volu so that the other Beast Masters around could hear.
All the Beast Masters suddenly turned their heads, watching as Nathaniel bowed slightly to Charles.
At first, one person followed Nathaniel's example, slowly lowering his head and saying, "Everything follows your command!"
Then, more and more Beast Masters bowed their heads toward Charles, shouting:
"Everything follows your command!"
"Everything follows your command!"
...
Charles looked at everyone around him. It was the first ti he had encountered such a scene, and it was hard to put into words.
The Beast Masters outside were unaware of his plans and arrangents, yet they expressed their obedience without hesitation. They might have reservations in their hearts, thinking that they could encounter danger soon.
After all, they were facing a powerful Level Eight Beast Master transford into a monster, along with the unknown and eerie black threads, and the blackness in Flower Falls Gorge that they could not touch, they were all aware of the dangers involved.
Even so, in the face of Charles, these people did not question or discuss.
After they spoke, they all raised their heads, their eyes shining brightly as they stared at Charles.
Faced with this situation, Charles maintained a calm expression, but the slight furrow of his brow, due to the effort he was exerting, could not hide the emotions within him.
"Trust , I will do my best to save everyone! Everyone!" Charles took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
His tone was incredibly firm, as if he were the unchanging gorge behind him!
This ti, upon hearing Charles' declaration to save everyone, every Beast Master present nodded in agreent. They emphatically said together, "We believe in you!"
"Charles, just give the orders. Even if it ans I have to go in and carve a path to my death, I have no complaints as long as I can save people!" a middle-aged Beast Master shouted.
Other Beast Masters chid in, "Give a minute, I'll write a farewell letter to my family!"
"I have always been on my own, saving a few lives makes my life worth it!"
"Please assign to the most dangerous area. I'm quite old now and have no regrets, I'm not afraid of death."
Listening to the voices around him and seeing those earnest and passionate gazes, Charles felt his body growing warr.
He could now sense that the unknown force within him was becoming increasingly powerful!
"Could it be because of these people in front of ? Is there a connection between the blood and tears on the baby's head and these Beast Masters? Are both factors capable of triggering changes in my body?" Charles instinctively began to analyze.
However, he also knew that he could not afford to waste any more ti!
The life force of the tourists in Flower Falls Gorge was continuously dwindling, and the pain they endured was growing ever stronger.
Celia stood in the midst of Flower Falls Gorge in agony, her body could not move, yet she had not lost her sense of it—only the right to control it.
Life force was continuously ebbing away. The places where the black threads entwined felt like red-hot needles slowly piercing her skin, corroding her flesh bit by bit.
This physical pain was not what made her feel the most despair, what truly devastated her was the sensation in her hands, that gradually chilling feeling.
Her daughter, Deer, was in her arms!
"What should I do? What can I do? Deer is facing the sa kind of suffering right now!"
"Who can save her? Soone, please, save my daughter!"
"Save her!"
Celia kept shouting in her heart, but no one responded.
She could die, she could suffer a painful death, but her daughter could not!
Deer was only six years and three months old! She was still a child who had never done anything wrong, why should she have to endure such pain?
Is fate truly fair?
Why?
Why must her child go through such suffering!
Celia's mind began to blur gradually. As her life force diminished, her heart filled with despair and pain. It felt as if a voice was whispering sothing in her ears, but she could not make it out.
Under the influence of these voices, Celia started to resent the unfairness of fate, resenting everything. She wondered why it was not soone else experiencing this.
It should not just be her and her daughter suffering, everyone who was still alive should share in this despair and pain!
"Everyone! Every single person! Whether they are children or the elderly, they should all feel this way, only that would be right!"
At that mont, Celia seed to hear a voice, distant and vague,
"I said I would save everyone!"
Whose voice was that? It sounded familiar, like she had heard it sowhere before.
Celia's consciousness began to gradually return, and the resentnt along with various negative emotions in her heart started to fade.
She rembered!
It was Charles's voice, she had heard it before!
"Could it be that Charles has co to save us? Can he really do it? Maybe this is just an illusion, after all, Charles is only a Level Four Beast Master. No matter how talented he is, can he really manage?" Celia thought to herself.
Then, her body began to move uncontrollably again, she lifted her head and looked up at the sky above Flower Falls Gorge.
At so point, dark clouds had appeared over Flower Falls Gorge.
A familiar figure stood on the back of a flying mystical beast, exuding an incredible calmness that brought comfort to those who saw it.
