Chapter 336 - 336: Are You Sending Me to My Death?
Sienna lay on the ground, his mouth burning with pain, as if a red-hot iron rod had been shoved directly inside.
All he felt now was intense agony, his vision blurred, and with his eyes wide open, he could only see the bloodied teeth on the dirt in front of him.
He tried to open his mouth to scream, but the swollen muscles in his face and the shattered bones in his jaw rendered him unable to make a sound, only able to grunt in pain.
A pair of muddy shoes slowly approached him.
Sienna was now filled with an indescribable fear and regret. If he had known better, he shouldn't have hesitated. He should have dropped to the ground immediately and shouted his surrender.
If he had done that, even if Charles wanted to attack him, he couldn't have forced himself to do so!
"Damn it! Why does Charles hold such a grudge? I didn't do anything particularly outrageous, just because of a few wild fruits? Or is it because we injured a Beast Master from the Genosha Cyber Academy?" Sienna's mind raced with chaotic thoughts.
His thoughts were particularly jumbled, and the fear that Charles instilled in him had utterly shattered his psychological defenses.
Just thinking about how he initially wanted to challenge Charles to a one-on-one duel made Sienna feel ridiculous. Fortunately, the appearance of other eighth-level Beast Masters prevented the duel from taking place.
It's important to note that deaths during duels are not uncommon, if Charles wanted to kill him, with his strength, Sienna would have no way to resist!
The lucky part was that within the range of Eye of Ice and Fire, the eighth-level Beast Masters from Genosha had established a rule against any deaths occurring.
The footsteps drew closer, and Sienna struggled to lift his head, looking at the expressionless and extraordinarily cold Charles. He wanted to plead for mercy, but he couldn't find the words.
"As a Beast Master, you are far stronger than ordinary people. The power of mystical beasts and your physical prowess give you a false sense of security, making you believe you can bully the weak at will." Charles said calmly.
He said this while recalling many things, whether it was the Constellation organization using the blood of a hundred children to create a miracle drug, or the public beheading of the Taylor family, and that cripple who chose to commit suicide after losing everything.
Or perhaps it was the little girl Teddy, who was currently being bullied by the Beast Masters of the Stellar Empire, Charles could see a shadow he couldn't escape from.
It was the shadow of the strong oppressing the weak, a feeling he had once sensed in Lucas.
The disdain of a ninth-level Beast Master is enough to cost many dark attribute Beast Masters their lives.
To Charles, the world of Beast Masters is deeply twisted, where the law of survival of the fittest seems to reign supreme. But humanity is different, the world of humans shouldn't be like this!
When faced with the oppression of higher-level Beast Masters, Charles would remain expressionless, repeatedly telling himself that this is how the world of Beast Masters operates, that strength is the foundation of everything.
Yet he could not choose to stand by and pretend he didn't know or see anything, allowing the Beast Masters of the Stellar Empire to bully a little girl who struggles to survive but remains optimistic and kind.
The calluses on Teddy's hands and the scars on her body told the story of a girl who was diligently living her life, embracing hope each day.
Even so, this group of Beast Masters from the Stellar Empire would still bully such a heart-wrenching little girl.
Charles took a deep breath. He gripped the long knife tightly in his hand, slowly moving it to Sienna's neck, which lay on the ground.
"You people have no reverence for life, you only fear the strong. Now my knife is resting on your throat. Does it feel good to have your life in someone else's hands?" Charles's words carried no hint of triumph.
The tone was extremely calm, almost eerie, especially the last question, devoid of emotional fluctuations, as if he were stating a fact rather than asking.
Sienna dared not move, his gaze frantically
The answer he wanted was not a simple "I shouldn't have provoked you."
Outside the range of Eye of Ice and Fire,
Zorion was about to explode with rage at what was unfolding before him. As an eighth-level Beast Master, how did he become a clown?
He had never experienced anything like this in the Stellar Empire.
"Charles! Don't let me find an opportunity, or you're dead! Dead?" The moment Zorion thought of the word "dead." he suddenly calmed down. Nathaniel had mentioned something at the beginning.
He said that if anyone killed another, he would directly retaliate against that person.
Now, with Charles's knife resting on Sienna's neck, if Sienna exerted force and pushed his neck against the blade, would Charles be killed by Nathaniel?
Even if that didn't happen, Genosha would lose face and be seen as untrustworthy!
Thinking this, Zorion decided to try something. He shouted loudly, "Sienna! As a member of the Stellar Empire, even if you die, you must die with value!"
Feeling the sharp blade against his neck while listening to the words in his ear, Sienna had a thousand curses he wanted to yell out. What does it mean to die with value?
Even Crown Prince Silas of the Stellar Empire had fled, as an ordinary Beast Master, surrendering was not shameful!
"No, Zorion's intention is to force me to die, to make Charles break the rules?" Sienna thought.
