“My lord, what should we do? What should we do? Charles actually appeared in Lsengard! He was personally appointed as a Supervisor by His Majesty the Emperor!” someone whispered to Carter.
Carter took a deep breath, glancing at the Beast Master lying on the ground, trying to calm himself down.
Right now, the most important thing to do was to prove that the evidence he had presented earlier was fake, and the key to that was the tortured Beast Master in front of him.
“Calm down. I’ve already gouged out this man’s eyes, cut off his tongue, his ears, and even broke both his hands. He won’t leak anything! He absolutely won’t!” Carter thought to himself.
This Beast Master wasn’t a member of the Evil Organization; he was just an ordinary third tier Beast Master, one of those tragic souls with no family, no friends, no support perfect for framing the Stokes family.
“I should’ve recorded a video and then killed him when I had the chance. That would have been more secure!” Carter was filled with regret.
Not because he harmed others, but because he regretted not being more cruel.
He steadied his breathing, trying to calm down. After a while, he lowered his head and slowly said to Charles, “Lord Supervisor, there may be some misunderstanding here. The Stokes family may not have really colluded with the Evil Organization. Perhaps we can end this here. We can’t let those bad people go free!”
Charles seemed not to have heard anything. He simply continued staring at the Beast Master curled up on the ground.
The others in the room were now beginning to understand what was happening.
David, with a hint of excitement, glanced at Charles and instinctively said, “How did I forget? If anyone can save the Stokes family, it has to be Charles!”
“He’s only eighteen, and he was appointed as the Genosha Supervisor by His Majesty the Emperor! What a genius!”
Many of the people at the banquet were the same ones who had been present when Charles and Grace signed the [human contract]. Back then, they had looked down on a commoner, watching as he made a bet with the talented daughter of the Lord of Lsengard.
Who would have thought that within less than half a year, that boy would become someone everyone now looked up to?
At that moment, the heads of the Forging Masters Guild, the Alchemist Guild, and the Beast Master Guild in Lsengard exchanged glances, their eyes full of regret.
If only they hadn’t rejected David and Raj when they came earlier!
Who would have expected that the Lord Supervisor himself would appear in person?
At this moment, Charles seemed like the Emperor of Genosha, Miles, had personally descended upon Lsengard, possessing absolute authority.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Charles pulled out a bottle of glowing orange miracle drug and without any hesitation, fed it into the Beast Master’s mouth.
Seeing Charles’ actions, Carter’s pupils shrank sharply, then slowly widened.
He looked up in disbelief, staring at Charles with wide eyes, shocked as he said, “Orange quality miracle drug? Orange quality!”
“Is it that surprising? He’ll recover soon, and as for what happened, let him explain it himself,” Charles replied calmly, glancing at him.
Carter felt as though he had been stripped bare and thrown into an icy cold environment. He managed to force a grim smile and said, “This is fake, right, Charles? You’re trying to trick me, aren’t you? There can’t be that many orange quality miracle drugs! Even if there were, you wouldn’t waste one on a stranger, no way!”
“Is orange quality miracle drug that rare?” Charles responded with a calm expression.
Carter’s face froze instantly, his eyes filled with despair. He no longer felt like he was above everyone else, full of confidence like before.
If it had been anyone else, Carter would have been confident that no one would expose the cruel way he tortured the innocent Beast Master, or the fabricated evidence he created.
Because no one else had an orange quality miracle drug!
Even if someone did, they wouldn’t waste it on a stranger!
But this person was Charles, who became the Genosha Supervisor at just eighteen and held absolute authority!
“I… Lord Supervisor, please, listen to me. I can explain, it’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!” Carter could no longer hold himself together. He collapsed to the ground and, crawling on all fours, dragged himself toward Charles.
As soon as he reached Charles’ side, he grabbed onto Charles’ pant leg and begged desperately.
“My lord, please, it’s a misunderstanding!”
“Lord Supervisor, I can explain, I really can explain!”
Tears welled up in Carter’s eyes as he spoke, looking pitiful beyond measure.
However, Charles didn’t spare him a single glance. He merely said coldly, “Back then, this Beast Master must have begged like this too.”
To gouge out an innocent Beast Master’s eyes, cut off his tongue, his ears, break his hands, and pin a false crime on him.
Charles couldn’t imagine how cruel a person could be to that extent. It was beyond human.
Carter was nothing more than a beast!
No, he was even worse than a beast!
Hearing the coldness and ruthlessness in Charles’ voice, Carter knew, without a doubt, that Charles had no intention of letting him go.
With that thought, Carter gritted his teeth and reached into his chest, pulling out a dagger that gleamed with a cold light, which instantly appeared in his hand.
However, before he could use the dagger to harm the Beast Master, who was curled up on the ground, Charles who had been vigilant the entire time suddenly kicked out. His foot landed squarely in Carter’s abdomen.
In an instant, Carter’s body was sent flying backward, like a shrimp being tossed, crashing through two or three tables before coming to a halt. The tremendous force caused internal injuries, and blood slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth.
“Charles! You’re an idiot! Do you have any idea how many people have gained huge wealth and contributions from the investigation into the Evil Organization? You’re going against the ministers of Genosha!”

“They won’t let you get away with this!”
“You’re just a lucky commoner, and even if you were a member of the Genosha royal family, you wouldn’t die a good death!” Carter yelled and cursed, now sounding like a vengeful ghost, threatening with every word.
What he said was true. The reason he dared to do this was because he wasn’t the only one involved.
From top to bottom, many people had tacitly allowed such things to happen, all silently profiting from it.
But then Charles, a person with enormous power, appeared and shattered the delicate balance.
“So what?” Charles gave Carter, who was collapsing, a faint glance. “Are you telling me that after seeing all of this, I should just choose to ignore it?”
As soon as he saw the tortured Beast Master, Charles understood everything.
If such evidence could be officially acknowledged, it meant that behind Carter, there was an undeniable force, one that had been silently allowing everything to happen.
The reason was simple because of profit. Huge profit.
“Sometimes, I really don’t understand you people. The reason humans are called humans isn’t because of their brilliant minds, but because of the morals and spirit they can’t ignore.”
“If those are lost, then what makes a person any different from a demon?”
Charles looked at the Beast Master lying on the ground, gradually recovering from his injuries, and sighed in relief.
The power of the orange quality miracle drug was truly incredible such injuries could heal!
“A demon? Hahahaha, you’re too naive, Charles. Do you know how many people are involved in all of this?”
“You don’t know. You’re naively thinking everything should be perfect, that this world should be filled with morals and responsibility?”
“No, no, that’s not it. If you’re a man, then continue investigating. Do you dare?”
Carter wobbled, spitting blood, slowly walking toward Charles.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face contorted with rage, looking like an evil spirit ready to strike.
Charles calmly gripped the black gold long knife and used the back of the blade to knock Carter down.
He looked down at the Beast Master, whose eyes were slowly opening. The Beast Master gazed around in confusion until his eyes locked onto Charles. For a moment, he stood still, mouth slightly agape, but no sound came out.
“Take your time to adjust. Your tongue just grew back, you still need to get used to it,” Charles spoke softly, his tone gentle.
The Beast Master’s emotions reached their breaking point, and he could no longer hold back. His facial features seemed to be squeezed by invisible hands, his mouth opened as if in agony, and his facial muscles stiffened. A heart wrenching cry rang out, accompanied by choking sobs.
“Ch… Charles, they tortured me… they cut open my skin with a knife, then smeared sugar water on it, attracting ants to crawl all over me, biting me…”
“I couldn’t resist. I just confessed to everything they told me.”
“But… but in the end, they still gouged out my eyes, cut off my tongue, my ears, and broke my hands.”
“Why? Why did they do this to me?”
“My father died in battle for the country, my mother sacrificed herself saving others. I’ve been an orphan since I was young. I’ve done nothing wrong. Why? Why?”
In the end, the innocent Beast Master kept repeating those three words, “Why?”
Charles took a deep breath, unsure of how to answer.
The anger in his heart was burning uncontrollably now, and he wanted to do something!
Tightening his grip on the black gold long knife, Charles slowly brought the blade back, the sharp tip scraping against the ground like death sharpening its scythe.
The sound was harsh, filled with an aura of death.
Carter watched silently as Charles moved closer, a grin spreading across his face.
