Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

The atmosphere in the train car where Charles was seated was quite pleasant, with everyone around discussing topics about him. Only Charles, Luna, and Snow remained silent.

There were no other people next to Luna and Snow, while the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sat directly across from Charles. Naturally, Charles's silence piqued the boy's curiosity.

"I think Charles is pretty great," Charles replied dismissively to avoid drawing attention to himself and revealing his identity.

He really couldn't bring himself to praise himself.

"Of course! After Charles arrived in Genosha Calivia, he has kept a low profile, unlike other geniuses. He only acts when someone else causes trouble for him!"

"He's my idol! It's not just good, it's extremely good, exceptionally good, unbeatable good!" the boy exclaimed excitedly.

He completely understood that the person he was praising, his idol, was now sitting right in front of him, remaining silent.

Charles felt a bit regretful, had he known, he would have just purchased a first-class ticket. He hadn't anticipated that even after leaving Genosha Calivia, there would still be people discussing him everywhere.

Finally, the train reached a transfer station, and many passengers got off, making the once lively cabin much quieter.

Charles turned to look out the window and saw black boxes being loaded onto the back car, which was specifically for transporting goods.

At that moment, a dozen or so passengers entered the car and quietly took their seats.

When the train started moving again, the atmosphere in the cabin became significantly more subdued.

Charles sighed in relief but also felt puzzled, these new passengers seemed very silent, sitting scattered throughout the cabin, yet their eyes occasionally met.

Moreover, people kept sneaking glances at each other, filled with wariness.

This unusual phenomenon immediately caught Charles's attention, and he also noticed that Luna seemed a bit off, as if she had discovered something.

"Sister Luna, what's wrong?" Snow noticed Luna's unease. Luna, who had been leaning back in her seat, suddenly sat up straight, her whole demeanor becoming tense.

"I have a stomachache. Snow, could you come with me to the restroom?" Luna said slowly.

Snow instantly straightened up, a look of tension appearing on her face.

Snow understood very well that Sister Luna had sensed some danger, which was why she was speaking so much—normally, Luna's words were always very brief.

Suppressing the urge to look around, Snow took a deep breath and casually replied:

"Sure, I need to go to the restroom too. Let's go." The two left their seats and headed towards the restroom at the back of the train car.

As they reached the junction of the train cars, they saw a person standing at the restroom door.

Upon seeing Luna and Snow approach, the person said apologetically:

"Sorry, my friend has a stomach issue and is constipated, it might take a while. You might want to head to the other end of the car."

Snow glanced at Luna, who nodded. They turned around and walked toward the other end of the train car.

Just then, Charles's gaze was also directed this way, and Luna's eyes met his in the air.

"The person at the restroom door is one of those who got on at the last station," Charles thought to himself, constantly analyzing the situation.

These people were indeed too strange, while they appeared to be scattered throughout the cabin, their positioning would allow them to control the entire car in case of an emergency!

"Is the person at the restroom door there to prevent anyone from approaching the back car where the cargo is stored? Is what's inside something they need to protect?" Charles kept analyzing.

Luna must have also sensed something unusual, which is why she was probing.

Charles furrowed his brow, he wasn't sure who these people were—were they part of an official Genosha escort operation, or were they involved in some secret dealings of other factions?

At that moment, several personnel in train security uniforms appeared, carrying identity-checking devices, and began conducting routine inspections.

Charles quietly observed the developments.

He watched as the train security personnel checked the identities of those individuals, showing no signs of suspicion. In fact, two of the security personnel even walked into the back car where the cargo was stored and calmly exited after a while.

Seeing this scene, Charles let out a sigh of relief, those strange people on the train should belong to the official Genosha organization.

Unless those train security personnel were in cahoots with them!

Charles thought it over carefully but still felt that possibility was too small. Continue reading at empire

Meanwhile, Luna, who had returned to her seat, showed little change in expression, though the girl opposite her seemed noticeably more relaxed.

After the train security personnel left, the entire car became even quieter.

Charles put aside his speculations and curiosities, slowly turning to look out the window, enjoying the scenery that was continuously receding.

Time passed little by little,

And when the train reached Flower Falls Gorge, the majority of the passengers slowly exited the car and made their way to the platform outside.

Including Luna and the girl sitting across from her.

"How strange, are they also here to relax at Flower Falls Gorge?" Charles thought to himself.

He then shifted his gaze to the back of the car, where he saw people starting to unload cargo from above and transfer it.

After a moment of consideration, Charles decided not to pay it any mind and began walking towards the exit.

Soon, as he reached the stairs, a person pushing the recently unloaded cargo passed right by him.

In an instant, a strange sense of familiarity washed over Charles.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, looked around, and focused his gaze on the cargo that had already been pushed away!

"I feel like I've experienced this sensation somewhere before," Charles thought.

He wasn't sure where he had felt this way, it was very vague yet distinctly unfamiliar.

While Charles lingered, several other individuals on the platform, including station security personnel, began quietly moving toward his position.

Charles felt a bit helpless and took another step, it seemed his pause had drawn the attention of the officials. It would be best to leave quickly, otherwise, if his identity was exposed, it could cause quite a stir.

Without any hesitation, Charles quickly made his way toward the exit.

After Charles left, the person who had been at the restroom door earlier spoke rapidly into a hidden communication device in his collar:

"Situation defused, everything is normal."

A response quickly came through the earpiece: "Received. There was unusual activity with the cargo just now, it seems to have been awakened by something. We are currently handling it."

Listening to his companion's reply, the man recalled Charles's figure and slowly said, "It's possible that it's because of that boy. We should investigate his identity thoroughly, there might be unexpected gains this time."

"Understood!" his companion replied promptly.

At that moment, a gentle breeze blew through, causing the flowers planted at Flower Falls Gorge station to tremble, with petals detaching from their stems and floating freely in the air.

The mysterious man who ordered the investigation into Charles's information slowly extended his hand and picked up a fallen petal, gripping it tightly.

Then, as he slowly opened his palm, he coldly and ruthlessly said,

"What a pity, such a beautiful place is about to become a hell on earth!"

In his palm, the petal quickly began to wither and turn black, soon disintegrating into countless black particles that were carried away by the wind.

...

"Sister Luna, you must be being overly suspicious, nothing has happened to us so far. Those people were probably just an accident," Snow said slowly as they walked down the street beside Luna.

Luna shook her head and replied, "No, that's not right."

Upon hearing this, Snow stopped in her tracks and asked again, "What do you mean? Those people were likely officials escorting something very important, we just happened to be in the same car."

Luna hesitated, her intuition told her that things weren't that simple, but she couldn't pinpoint what felt off.

Flower Falls Gorge wasn't a strategically important location for Genosha, she was very clear about that. Some of Genosha's significant facilities and organizations were not located in Flower Falls Gorge, it was merely a place with a lot of tourists.

Luna felt something was amiss, was there something worth sending official escorts to Flower Falls Gorge?

Moreover, the group of people in the car were not ordinary escorts, beneath their seemingly normal appearances lurked a dangerous aura.

"Wait a moment, let me check," Luna felt the need to investigate further.

She took out her phone and sent a text to her father, Nathaniel, asking him to help look into whether there were any special arrangements at Flower Falls Gorge recently.

Snow watched Luna's actions without questioning her, in her eyes, Luna's decisions were always correct, except for matters of the heart, of course.

"Now that we've arrived at Flower Falls Gorge, the next step is to find Charles! Luna's happiness depends on me!" Snow exclaimed, energetically waving her arm with determination.

After sending the text, Luna gave Snow a strange look and asked, "Are you crazy?"

Snow rolled her eyes at Luna and muttered, "What do you mean crazy? I'm helping you!"

Luna ignored Snow and continued walking toward the hotel they had booked.
