“I’ve already told you everything. There might still be people from the Lnfinity Lsles side who want to silence me. Will this end up involving you?” Soren asked uneasily. He didn’t want Charles to get caught up in trouble because of him.
Charles waved his hand, about to respond, when his enhanced perception from [Divine Domain] alerted him to unusual movements nearby.
“If you’re here, stop hiding. Come out.” Charles took out his [black gold long knife] from the [jet ring] again, turned around, and looked toward the door.
“Clap, clap, clap.” Clear applause echoed. The empty doorway suddenly shimmered, and two figures appeared.
Charles was slightly surprised when he saw them because these two were none other than the man and woman he had encountered at the Chia Chamber of Commerce.
The man in the white suit looked at Charles with interest for a moment, a faint smile on his face, and slowly spoke.
“I didn’t expect it. You have such strong perceptive abilities, immediately seeing through my disguise. Not bad, not bad. Quite interesting.”
“Allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Kairos.”
Charles frowned slightly, observing the man in the white suit at the door, along with the woman beside him wearing a white gown.
“I don’t believe we have any grudges between us?” Charles asked.
The man who called himself Kairos shook his head, wearing a slightly regretful expression, and said gracefully, “You’re mistaken. We didn’t come to find you.”
Upon hearing this, Charles instantly realized their objective.
They weren’t here for him; could they be after Soren instead?
Were they also interested in the forest at Celestial City’s Lnfinity Lsles?
What forces did these two belong to?
Had they heard about what happened at Celestial City’s Lnfinity Lsles and wanted to gather information from Soren, or were they actually among the people hunting him down?
Charles quickly processed the information in his mind and soon reached a conclusion.
“You two are also interested in what happened at the Lnfinity Lsles?” Charles asked.
Kairos looked up at Charles, a smile of appreciation on his face, and asked curiously, “How did you guess?”
“If you were here to silence someone, you wouldn’t have gone to Chia Chamber of Commerce first, giving Soren more time to live,” Charles replied directly.
“That’s right. We mean no harm. We just want to ask for some more detailed information,” the woman in the white gown, who had remained silent up until now, finally spoke.
Charles hadn’t expected that so many people knew about the events at Celestial City’s Lnfinity Lsles. It seemed he had to speed things up.
The situation might involve the fallen beast of the ancient gods, and he couldn’t afford to be careless.
“Exactly. Just tell us everything you know, and there won’t be any trouble,” Kairos said with a smile as he walked further into the room.
Kairos, dressed in his white suit, stood out starkly against the surrounding chaotic environment. Ignoring Charles, he walked straight up to Soren, who was sitting on the ground, and said again:
“My time is tight, and I don’t have time to waste on you, so whatever you say next better be the truth. Otherwise…”
The high and mighty tone, coupled with the threatening undertones in his words, made the atmosphere in the room quite heavy.
Soren felt uncomfortable in his heart. He had shared the information with Charles because Charles had helped him. In exchange, he had told him everything about what happened at the Lnfinity Lsles. This was essentially a transaction. But beyond that, when Beast Masters had caused trouble, Charles had stepped in to help him and his sister. He had even offered a safe place for him to heal.
Yet, the man in the white suit standing before him now spoke with an air of superiority, and his words were laced with threats.
At the moment, Soren couldn’t summon his strength, and in the face of such pressure, he could only comply with the man’s demands.
Just as Soren was about to speak, Charles stepped forward.
He positioned himself between Soren and Kairos like a solid wall, effectively separating them.
“What’s your meaning?” Kairos frowned, giving Charles a cold look.
Charles’s expression remained unusually calm. He replied in a faint tone, “No particular meaning. I just think, since you’re here to seek Soren’s help, your attitude should be a bit more respectful. And threatening others for no reason isn’t a good habit.”
“Attitude? Hahaha, whether my attitude is good or not, what does that have to do with you? You have five types of elemental energy, so you must be a level 5 Beast Master, right?” Kairos sneered, looking at Charles with disdain.
Charles ignored him, instead turning to Soren, who appeared somewhat dazed. He spoke directly to him, “Earlier, you asked me if there would be trouble. My answer is no. I’m offering you a safe place. Once your injuries heal, if I need your help, you’ll assist me. How about it?”
Soren instinctively glanced at Kairos, who was still blocked by Charles.
Charles reassured him, “It’s fine, go ahead and decide.”
After hearing Charles’s words, Soren nodded without hesitation. From the very beginning, Charles had not only saved his life, but had always treated him as an equal. Everything had been a fair exchange.
No, Soren thought for a moment, it wasn’t quite equal. What Charles had done for him far exceeded the information he had provided. He had saved his life, helped his sister with her trouble, promised him a safe place, and stepped up when he was threatened. Soren felt deep gratitude in his heart.
In his mind, Charles was clearly very interested in what had happened at the Lnfinity Lsles. Since the two people in white were also asking about it, it was likely they were after the same information as Charles.
Their relationship with Charles was likely one of competition, and Soren wanted to help Charles as much as he could.
“Alright, since you’ve agreed, let’s go,” Charles said淡ly. The moment his words fell, Kairos became irritated.
“I’ll say it again: I’m just here to ask him some questions. This has nothing to do with you, so could you stop suddenly jumping in to seek attention?”
“Such an impolite guy,” Kairos said coldly, glaring at Charles.
Hearing these words, Charles instinctively thought of the nobles who had caused trouble in the past. Kairos’s behavior was unpleasant and off putting. If Kairos had been more polite, approached Soren with a respectful attitude, and asked about the Lnfinity Lsles in a manner that sought assistance, Charles wouldn’t have intervened.
“What do you think? If you want to answer, I can wait for a moment,” Charles asked, turning to Soren.
Soren looked at Charles, worry evident in his eyes.
“It’s fine, don’t worry,” Charles reassured him.
Then, Soren glanced at the man in the white suit, Kairos, shook his head, and said, “Sorry, I have something I need to do. As for the Lnfinity Lsles, you should ask someone else.”
After Soren spoke, Charles walked past Kairos, brushing lightly against him.
Orion and Soren quickly followed. They had nothing of value at home, so there was no need to pack.
As the three of them reached the door, the woman in the white dress could no longer stay quiet.
“Sorry, my companion’s attitude isn’t great. How about this? As compensation, I can offer you some miracle drugs to help with your injuries. You must need them, right?” the woman said softly.
Orion’s eyes instantly lit up, and she looked up at her brother.
Soren shook his head. Although his body condition wasn’t ideal, as long as there was a safe place for him to slowly heal, that would be enough.
“Stop!” At that moment, Kairos, standing in the courtyard, took a deep breath and called out.
He glared at Charles’s back, his eyes filled with obvious displeasure, and continued, “Looks like it’s you, a level 5 Beast Master, who’s given him the courage to reject me.”
“At just over twenty, only a level 5 Beast Master? Your talent is poor, and you’re not too bright. People who meddle in other people’s business usually don’t end up well.”
Charles froze for a moment upon hearing this. He didn’t immediately realize who was being referred to by the “over twenty” comment, considering he was only eighteen, not even nineteen yet.
However, it quickly dawned on him that he was currently using Beast Transformation Flesh to disguise himself, so he indeed appeared to be in his twenties.
Charles didn’t want to engage with the man named Kairos anymore. He was more focused on thinking about what to do next.
Regarding the Celestial City the Lnfinity Lsles forest, Charles still needed to go to Central City in the Haunted Marsh to find Mia’s promotion materials, Wind Dew, as well as attend the auction hosted by the Tomos the Wayne Family in ten days, where there would be Gold Essence, the promotion materials for Little Gold. If he waited until all the promotion materials were gathered before heading to Celestial City the Lnfinity Lsles, it might already be too late!
Just as Charles continued walking with Orion and Soren, a sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced the air. Charles didn’t stop and kept moving forward. A white glowing arrow shot directly into the ground, just two centimeters in front of Charles’s right foot.
The air immediately grew still, and Orion and Soren widened their eyes, turning around sharply. They caught sight of Kairos, whose hands were slowly dispersing the white light.
“You!” Soren immediately grew furious. Was this a threat to attack?
Charles slowly turned his body, gripped the black gold long knife in his hand, and then his figure disappeared from his original position.
“Dark attribute stealth skill? Hmph, a rat hiding in the shadows, choosing to ambush!” Kairos snorted coldly, flicking his right hand. A long sword made of condensed light appeared in his palm.
He maximized his sensory perception, waiting for Charles’s figure to appear behind him before launching his attack.
“Stop!” The woman in the white dress, standing at the door, shouted, hoping to stop the conflict between the two.
However, the next moment, Charles’s figure appeared directly above Kairos in midair. With both hands tightly gripping the black gold long knife, he descended like a meteor and brought it down with immense force.
