Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Bailey Zhao, You’re Truly Despicable!



Charles shook his head. The information prompt in his eyes showed that selecting orange-quality equipment was no challenge for him at all.

"Let's hear your requirements. There's still some time, and I can help you take a look," Charles asked again.

David Zheng, no longer hesitating, directly stated his needs: "I need a supreme spear."

"No problem, leave it to me. I'll find you a purple-quality supreme spear in a bit, so don't worry," Charles replied.

On the other side, Bailey Zhao's disdain for Charles became increasingly apparent. He spoke up, saying, "Charles, stop pretending. You think you can find a purple-quality supreme spear? That's just a joke!"

Before Charles could respond, Bailey Zhao continued to mock him: "Maybe the armor you got is just white quality! So David Zheng, why don't you bow down to me now, and I'll help you pick one out!"

Neither Charles nor David Zheng said a word. They both regarded Bailey Zhao as nothing more than a fly, too lazy to pay him any attention.

"You don't believe me? I'm from the Taylor family! I know there's a purple-quality supreme spear nearby!" Bailey Zhao grew anxious. What he wanted was to see David Zheng begging him on his knees.

"Is this the purple-quality supreme spear you're talking about?" Charles finally spoke up, holding a black-and-red supreme spear and directing the question at Bailey Zhao.

"How is that possible! No, that's not it!" Bailey Zhao was utterly shocked. Even as he tried to deny it, David Zheng and Charles weren't foolish; they saw right through his thoughts.

David Zheng's hands trembled slightly. He truly hadn't expected Charles to help him find a purple-quality supreme spear!

"Charles, that's just an ordinary blue-quality supreme spear! You picked the wrong one! The purple-quality spear isn't that one!" Bailey Zhao shouted urgently, still trying to mislead others.

Unexpectedly, Charles directly pointed at the equipment in Bailey Zhao's hand and said, "Did I make a mistake? The one you have is also purple quality, and it seems to be called the [Flame Dagger]. It's quite suitable for a fire attribute Beast Master."

Bailey Zhao was completely stunned, unable to speak. He looked down at the dagger in his hand, then back up at the calm Charles.

He had already been shocked that Charles found that purple-quality supreme spear. Now, Charles not only identified the quality of the weapon in his hand but even knew its name!

How did he manage to do that?

At that moment, Charles addressed the excited David Zheng, saying, "Hold on, don't rush. I just noticed an even better supreme spear, close to orange quality. I'll go get it for you."

David Zheng nodded vigorously. He trusted Charles's words completely, without a hint of doubt in his mind.

Bailey Zhao also came to his senses. He was unwilling to let Charles and David Zheng find suitable weapons without a fight.

Following Charles's gaze, he saw a rather impressive supreme spear on the shelf to the left front.

A supreme spear close to orange quality would be far better than the [Flame Dagger] in his hand!

If he could get that nearly orange-quality supreme spear for Zane, the son of the Taylor family's head, his position in the Taylor family would be secure!

Bailey Zhao hesitated no longer. In an instant, he summoned his mystical beast and activated [Beast Mastery], accelerating his movements and reaching for the supreme spear before Charles could.

This unexpected turn of events left David Zheng furious. He shouted, "Bailey Zhao, you're so shameless! How can you just steal it?!"

"Steal? Everything in this treasure vault can be freely chosen. How is that stealing? What I grab first is mine!" Bailey Zhao clutched the supreme spear tightly in his hand.

As he rebutted, he ran toward the vault's exit, the [Flame Dagger] still in his possession.

"Bailey Zhao! How dare you steal my stuff? That's the one I was helping David Zheng pick out! How can you be so despicable?" Charles's face showed clear anger, and his tone was very unfriendly.

As Charles cursed Bailey Zhao for being despicable, he pretended to chase after him.

Seeing Charles's expression, the last shred of doubt in Bailey Zhao's heart vanished. He didn't hesitate to toss aside the [Flame Dagger] and chose to take the supreme spear out of the vault.

"Why the rush? There's still some time left. Have you made your choice?" Avery Bai, who had been waiting at the vault's entrance, seemed a bit surprised and asked.

Bailey Zhao turned to glance at Charles, who had given up the chase. He replied to Avery Bai with immense pride, "I've chosen! It's this supreme spear!"

"Alright then, once everyone is out, I'll help you appraise it," Avery Bai said, looking carefully at the supreme spear in Bailey Zhao's hand and speaking slowly.

Inside the royal vault,

David Zheng's anger had not dissipated at all. He clenched his fists tightly and squeezed out a few words, "This is too much!"

At that moment, Charles stopped and handed the original purple-quality supreme spear to David Zheng.

"Don't worry, that supreme spear is just white quality, it only looks nice; everything else about it is garbage," Charles said with a smile, speaking slowly.

David Zheng was momentarily taken aback. He couldn't quite understand and asked, "Wasn't that a supreme spear close to orange quality?"

Charles shook his head and replied, "No, I was just joking. I didn't expect Bailey Zhao to be so despicable as to actually make a move to steal it."

"Ah? Is that how it is?" David Zheng held the supreme spear Charles had given him, looking at Charles with a complex expression.

He truly hadn't expected that everything was part of Charles's plan. If Bailey Zhao had just shown a bit of dignity and not resorted to stealing, he could have at least walked away with the [Flame Dagger].

"Mr. Charles, you're really clever. When it comes time for the appraisal, Bailey Zhao will definitely regret it," David Zheng thought about what might happen next.

Charles shook his head and replied, "It's not that I'm clever; it's just that Bailey Zhao is too foolish and too greedy."

David Zheng completely disagreed with Charles's assessment. As a member of the Taylor family, Bailey Zhao had seen a lot and wasn't easily fooled.

It was because Charles was too smart, with a keen mind and excellent acting skills, that Bailey Zhao ended up suffering such a huge loss!

"Let's go, we should check out Bailey Zhao's expression later," Charles said, no longer delaying, as he walked toward the vault exit with a satisfied David Zheng.

As soon as they stepped outside, they saw Bailey Zhao tightly clutching the white-quality supreme spear, boasting to Charles with a triumphant look.

"Charles, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten this supreme spear that's close to orange quality!"

The outcome was already determined and couldn't be changed. Charles couldn't be bothered to act anymore. His face remained completely calm, and all traces of anger had vanished.

Seeing Charles's demeanor, a sense of unease rose within Bailey Zhao. He glanced over at David Zheng,

who showed no signs of resentment and even had a slight smile on his face, looking quite pleased.

"Alright, everyone has made their selections. Bring your items over for appraisal and registration," Avery Bai said straightforwardly.

David Zheng didn't hesitate at all and was the first to hand over his supreme spear.

"A purple-quality [Bloodthirsty Supreme Spear]? You have a good eye and some luck," Avery Bai remarked with some surprise. A purple-quality weapon isn't easy to choose.

He hadn't expected David Zheng, as a warrior, to have such discernment.

David Zheng, feeling a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and replied, "It wasn't me; it was Charles who helped me pick it out."

Hearing this, Avery Bai turned to look at Charles and said, "I didn't realize you were so talented, Charles. Now I'm really curious about what kind of equipment you would choose."

Charles handed over the armor he was holding to Avery Bai,

who took just a glance and gasped in amazement. As one of the few pieces of orange-quality gear in the royal vault, he was clearly impressed by the [Overlord Heavy Armor]!

"You really have an eye for this, kid. There are only a few pieces of orange-quality equipment in the vault, and you actually managed to pick one out," Avery Bai finally said after catching his breath.

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone present was left in stunned silence.

David Zheng initially thought that Charles had only selected a purple-quality piece of equipment, but to his surprise, it turned out to be orange quality!

He felt no jealousy or envy; instead, he gave Charles a thumbs up, expressing his admiration.

As for Bailey Zhao, his first reaction was a fleeting desire to snatch the [Overlord Heavy Armor] away. However, since they were in the palace and Avery Bai was present, he quickly dismissed that thought.

What followed in Bailey Zhao's mind was joy. Since Charles was able to pick out an orange-quality armor, then the supreme spear in his hand must also be, as Charles said, close to orange quality!

With that thought, Bailey Zhao eagerly handed over his supreme spear to Avery Bai.

After taking the supreme spear, Avery Bai examined it closely, ultimately looking at Bailey Zhao with a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Is the quality too high?" Bailey Zhao asked, slightly confused.

Avery Bai replied, "Didn't the Taylor family members tell you anything before you came? How could you choose a white-quality supreme spear?"

"White quality? No way! You must have made a mistake in the appraisal. This is a supreme spear close to orange quality!" Bailey Zhao was in disbelief, becoming agitated as he snatched the supreme spear back.

"Indeed, it's a white-quality supreme spear, and it's the worst among white-quality ones. It only looks good on the outside and is generally used for performances," Avery Bai said calmly, not angry at all.

He found it very strange. Logically, with the family's assistance, Bailey Zhao should have at least been able to choose a purple-quality piece.

How could he end up bringing out a white-quality supreme spear?

At that moment, Bailey Zhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood there in shock, and the supreme spear he had considered a treasure fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Charles! How dare you scheme against me!" Bailey Zhao roared in anger.
