Runemaster in the Last Days

Samuel pursed his lips.

"You don't have that plan anymore?"

"Should I? The whole world is changing and if I want to get stronger, the only way for me to do so is if I challenge these magic beasts head on." Riya pointed at the few magic beasts that had rushed over and got counter-killed by her Protective Rune Circle.

They seemed not to see the Protective Rune Circle around Riya and only knew that there were two creatures that they could target.

Of course, the targeting is a complete failure.

They were all dead without exception.

Their corpses were thrown into Riya's world to be turned into mana.

"You can still go by yourself if you want to," Samuel said.

"I know, I can," Riya said slowly and then showed a faint smile. "But what's the fun in that? It's too lonely."

In that world, she had traveled by herself and only stopped from time to time to collect some pieces of news.

It was really lonely.

But she didn't dare to trust others so easily.

Samuel arched his eyebrows. "I don't know what kind of people you have met in the past, but I can assure you that not everyone are like that."

"I know, some people are really simple and really nice to get along with." Riya smiled.

Why did she like to stay with Amelia in the first place?

It was because Amelia really looked like a child and behaved like one, which made Riya relaxed around her. Because Riya knew that whatever tricks that Amelia wanted to do or make, everything would be written on her face.

She basically couldn't hide anything.

So Riya didn't need to worry too much when interacting with Amelia and could easily tease the other party.

For this reason, the two of them honestly looked like a pair of sisters.

Samuel smiled and then pointed at the Protective Rune Circle around Riya. "Can you tell me more about this?"

"Of course not~." Riya chuckled. "If I tell you everything, how can I deal with my opponents in the future?"

"Not even a little bit?" Samuel asked again with a faint smile on his lips.

"Well, I can tell you the principle of a normal Protective Rune Circle, but are you sure that you can understand?"

"Try it."

"Okay~."

In this way, the two of them talked about many things while they were walking. The few magic beasts that rushed over were simply getting themselves killed and couldn't even bother the two of them.

If not for the wrong background, people who saw them would think that they were dating instead of hunting magic beasts.

The magic beasts around felt insulted being ignored so blatantly.

But those who came over were killed instantly.

So the world where only the magic beasts suffer was born.

…

City A Base

After Riya left that day and ignored Ciera, she was using this incident to take advantage of the sympathy of the people around her. With this method, she could pay off half of the initial debt that she had in the hospital.

Ciera was really happy.

Mr. Taylor heard about this and ignored his daughter. Anyway, the one who acted is his daughter and not him.

Instead, he was thinking about what he should do to be able to get more contribution points. The work he has been doing was not satisfying. Rather than earning more contribution points, it was more appropriate to say that his contribution points were deducted again and again.

This made Mr. Taylor very annoyed.

But there was not much that he could do.

"So you're saying Riya is doing well here?" Mr. Taylor heard the full version from his daughter at night and he frowned.

Riya is also his daughter but Mr. Taylor never cared that much about Riya. Because he didn't like his first wife that much anymore and her existence only reminded him of his first failed marriage.

It was annoying.

Because of that, Mr. Taylor refused to take care of Riya and only felt that she was nothing more than a burden.

But after Ciera was detected to have kidney failure on both of the kidneys, Mr. Taylor had to look all around to find someone who could help his daughter.

The doctor casually mentioned that sister might be a match.

So Mr. Taylor secretly look up for Riya's file and found a doctor to test whether it was a match or not. As if it was fate, it matched and his second wife couldn't wait to dug out Riya's kidney for her own daughter.

Unfortunately, the schemes failed miserably.

At the last moment before the earthquake, Mr. Taylor was also very busy with his work that he couldn't do anything else.

For some reasons, many things in his work become a mess.

He had to work overtime again and again to clean them up.

And after the earthquake…

It was even worse.

Right now, Mr. Taylor was feeling a bit desperate.

"Yes." Ciera gritted her teeth, trying to sound normal. She's very jealous of Riya and hoped that everything in Riya's hand could be transferred to her hand. But at the same time, she knew very well that it's impossible.

So she could only be jealous on the side.

But next time… she should play some tricks.

"Where is she?" Mr. Taylor asked.

"I… I don't know." Ciera had a blank look. After she provoked Riya in front of that supermarket, she was too busy making up the image of a pitiful girl in front of others.

Because some people didn't really experience much bitterness after the earthquake beaus they directly came to City A Base, many of them still have kind heart. So thy were willing to help Ciera a bit.

Anyway, one or two contribution points were nothing for those who had lived here for a long time.

But some others only watched Ciera played the set and said nothing.

"You're useless!" Mr. Taylor scolded.
