Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints
Chapter 97 - 97: The Exhibition

The financial drain of being a Beast Master was on an entirely different level compared to ordinary people, far beyond Charles' expectations.

One gold coin could buy a luxury apartment in the heart of Lsengard. Evolving Mousie once was equivalent to burning through ten such apartments!

But Charles quickly perked up. Mousie was destined to become a Demigod; it was normal for the initial investment to be high. Unlike those mundane mystical beasts with no evolutionary paths, Beast Masters like him actually had the opportunity to spend on such enhancements!

And as Ezra had said, the salivate over a humpback whale was briefly returning from the abyss to the bay because of migration. If he missed this chance, he would have to wait another year.

He needed to gather the materials for the spirit nail within three days.

"Last time at the Lsengard bank 'raiding' Sly and Kevin's stash, I got quite a few treasures, there must be some valuable things in there, right?"

Charles accessed his system [Storage Space], and a panel popped up on the screen.

Charles scanned through the items in his storage space, feeling a sense of accomplishment. This 'raid' had indeed been fruitful.

Although there weren't many valuable items, the sheer quantity was overwhelming. Charles considered selling all the unnecessary materials from his storage space to purchase the materials needed to craft the [spirit nail].

"The migratory period of the salivate over a humpback whale is very short. Selling these items at market price might not be quick enough; perhaps it's best to hold an exhibition and sell these materials at half price," Charles thought to himself.

Managing to promote and sell hundreds of tons of materials and equipment in a short time would be impossible for him alone. Moreover, organizing an exhibition with adequate venue, logistics, and staff arrangements was no simple task.

The only entities in Lsengard capable of such a large undertaking were the major family clans, and Charles couldn't think of anyone else.

The Misubi Auction House certainly wouldn't be interested in such low-cost goods, and the Beast Master Guild's commission was too high. After pondering for a while, Charles rummaged through his storage space and pulled out a business card that David from the hospital had given him earlier.

...

At 2 PM, in the high-level conference room of the Smith Family Group's headquarters building, David looked troubled as he faced the man dressed somewhat oddly. After carefully choosing his words, he regretfully said, "I'm very sorry, sir, but our Smith Family Group has always been in the jewelry business. We have little experience with selling weapons, ferocious beast materials, or miracle drugs..."

"...As for your request to have an exhibition set up by 9 AM tomorrow, it is somewhat difficult." David delivered this in a very diplomatic manner, effectively a polite refusal.

David, a seasoned businessman, was wary of this mysterious man who wouldn't reveal his true identity, his instincts hinting that he might be dealing with a fraud.

The high-level executives of the Smith family group, including managers and supervisors, also looked skeptically at the man in front of them, who wore a mask and sunglasses, as if the inventory list he presented was a joke.

Over a hundred wooden bear skins!

More than three hundred panthera tigris fangs!

And as for ferocious beast meat, hundreds of tons of it!!!

In all of Lsengard, only the Taylor family, who primarily dealt in ferocious beast hunting, could possess such quantities.

And those weapons and equipment.

Several hundred pieces from Tone Reproduction!

Dozens of pieces of green-quality gear and armor!

Even some blue-quality weapons and equipment!!!

Did you quietly rob the Draven family weapon shop's inventory?

Standing at the front of the conference room, under the gaze of dozens of eyes, Charles pressed a button on his red bow tie, activating a voice changer that could alter his voice to sound like anything he wanted.

"It seems everyone is quite skeptical of what I've said. If you don't believe me, you can accompany me to the warehouse to inspect the goods. Everything is in stock, and after verification, you can then decide whether or not to cooperate." The voice of a robust middle-aged man emanated from Charles's bow tie, altered by the voice changer.

Upon hearing this, David, who had been somewhat distracted, finally showed a spark of interest.

Based on his experience, those involved in fraud or scams could never produce the goods, or could only show a small portion. This man named 'Charlie' had apparently transported all the goods to Lsengard, and they were all readily available?

"Ahem..."

David, who hadn't spoken for a while, slowly stood up from his executive chair, his voice much softer than before: "Would you mind if I invite Master Brown from the Misubi Auction House for an appraisal... Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting your goods are fake.

After all, with such a large quantity of goods, if a few defective items were to slip into the market, it would be bad for both our reputations..."

Charles, having been a businessman in his previous life, understood David's caution with such a large order and nodded in agreement, "No problem, we're both businessmen here; transparency is key."

The group arrived at the main entrance of the Smith family's jewelry headquarters, where David opened the door of a luxurious sedan for Charles, then personally drove him.

Sitting in a top-tier luxury car for the first time, Charles was somewhat excited and curiously inspected everything inside the vehicle.

He was very fond of both the luxurious interior and the soft, comfortable leather seats.

It was in this moment that he truly felt the glory of being a Beast Master and understood why everyone in Genosha aspired to be one.

The wealth, status, and most importantly, the respect that Beast Masters could attain were things ordinary people might never achieve in their lifetimes.

Charles kept mostly quiet, and David did not force conversation, focusing on driving.

An hour later, Smith family Group's President David, along with several executives, arrived at the warehouse Charles had mentioned.

Master Brown from the Misubi Auction House, along with a dozen appraisers, had arrived ahead of them and were meticulously inspecting the items.

By evening, a panting Brown finally rushed out and declared, "Mr. David, I can assure you, as the chief appraiser of the Misubi Auction House in Lsengard, that all the miracle drugs, ferocious beast materials, weapons, and armor are genuine!"

Hearing this, David's eyelids twitched, somewhat incredulous. He had never dreamed of encountering such a substantial business deal in his life.

Despite years of experience in the business world, he still couldn't control his trembling hands as he took the appraisal report from Brown.

All genuine!

Everything was genuine!

The Smith family's jade mine was nearly depleted, and he had dreamed of expanding the business beyond just jewelry, but he never expected such an opportunity to come so easily!

Inside the warehouse, standing before the mountainous piles of goods, there were faint sounds of people sharply inhaling, and several executives, while excitedly inspecting the goods, perked up their ears to listen to what the chairman and Charlie were discussing.

"Now that the goods have been verified, I hope Mr. David can sell them all within three days. I'm not concerned about the price; we'll split the profits ninety-one," Charles stated straightforwardly, laying out his demands.

"Mr. Charlie, are you in urgent need of money? We could potentially earn more profit if we release these goods into the market in batches..." However, before David could finish, Charles interrupted him.

"I need this exhibition set up by 9 AM tomorrow morning, or I might have to take this business to someone else," Charles said, his voice deep and devoid of emotion.

The migratory period of the salivate over a humpback whale could end at any time, sending it back to the abyss.

If he couldn't gather the funds to craft the [spirit nail] within three days, more money wouldn't mean much to Charles.

After all, in this world, power is everything. With a powerful mystical beast, he wouldn't lack for money. Whether it was wealth, status, or companionship... these things could only be secured with strong power.

"I've also listed three materials I need on the inventory sheet. If Mr. David can procure them, just deduct their cost from the profits of the exhibition sales; there's no need to contact me."

"I have other matters to attend to and must step away for a bit. I'll leave the exhibition entirely in Mr. David's hands." With a nonchalant smile, Charles handed over the keys to David and left the warehouse.

Watching the confident figure stride away, the executives of the Smith family group and Brown were stunned.

His accent didn't sound local to Lsengard; could he be some high-ranking official from elsewhere? But why would such a figure choose to do business in Lsengard?

Everyone in the Smith family group showed signs of elation on their faces. This batch of goods could solve the crisis of their depleting jade mines!

Perhaps the Smith family could become the strongest among Lsengard's top three families.

Brown, too, was visibly excited, staring dumbfounded at the warehouse now filled with goods, silently resolving, "If such a prominent figure has come to Lsengard, I must seize any opportunity to forge ties!"
