Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1113

"Hmm..." Amelia thought about Ruby and finally decided against asking the other party about it.

The girls were basically crying all night long yesterday.

Ruby had to postpone her works because she kept on making errors and didn't want to waste more resources. Her state of mind was clearly not in the best situation for her to work.

Claire also found out about this, but Amelia hadn't handed over the necklace that Riya entrusted her to pass to the other party.

But she had already sent the message in their chat group.

Sophia was still in City A Base temporarily.

But right now...

None of them really wanted to see each other.

"There are not many high ranked magic warriors by now," Arnold said while sipping the drink. "Uncle wants me to ask you whether you're planning on entering the military or the government."

Amelia's face twisted when she heard Arnold's question and she immediately answered, "Neither."

She disliked the military's rigid nature and the strict regulation there.

As for the government....

Just remembering how dirty it was with so many scheming people around, Amelia felt that it would be better for her not to get involved in the slightest bit. She might not be stupid, but she didn't think that she could possibly compare with those old foxes.

Rather than putting herself in difficult situation, Amelia felt that it would be better for her not to make trouble for her family.

Because Amelia knew that if she ever got into trouble, there would be many people who would help her to get out of it.

She didn't want to increase their burden more than this.

"Then I'll tell uncle." Arnold nodded.

Amelia turned around and pulled Arnold's hand, her eyes narrowed dangerously. "Why did my father not come back to ask in person?"

"Because he had to deal with the aftermath of the grand magic beasts' tide," Arnold replied unhurriedly. He rubbed Amelia's head and then said, "Your father had no time to go home temporarily."

"...No wonder Mom is so angry." Amelia pursed her lips.

The fact that Samuel and Riya left suddenly was not exactly a secret.

Mrs. Jones also found out about it.

But unlike Amelia who was crying, she showed none of her emotions on the surface and still acted normally, helping City A Base to treat the injured and also count the resources that they have lost and have gained.

The magic beasts' corpses have to be divided by several city bases and it would take a long time for such difficult work to be done.

After all, everyone just wanted a share of the pie.

But it had to be divided in accordance to their contribution, especially because many magic beasts' corpses have been processed on the scene and then delivered to the returnees. What was left would have to be sorted out carefully.

Hmm...

But the most powerful magic beasts' corpses that was dealt with by Riya and Samuel were nowhere to be found.

Only a few that was left from Dina and Peter's battles were left.

But the remains were not much.

After all, Peter asked his team to process it on the spot for him while Dina's magic made it difficult to leave an intact corpses.

"Is that so?" Arnold looked at Amelia helplessly and felt that he really didn't need to hear about the interaction between Mr. Jones and Mrs. Jones in private. While he was not really associated with the government nor the military, he was still working from time to time under Mr. Jones.

It wouldn't be good to know so much gossip about his superior.

Though, this superior is also his father in law....

*cough*

"Mhm... I don't know what to do now," Amelia muttered.

In the past, it was not like she was always accompanied by her brother and Riya either. But even if they were not present on the scene, Amelia knew very well that no matter what she did, her brother and Riya would support her.

Well, a scolding was inevitable.

But that didn't matter.

These two people basically pampered Amelia so much that it was almost impossible for her to forget about it.

She had gotten used to it and didn't want to forget either.

Now that she knew her brother and Riya were gone, Amelia really didn't know what to do in the slightest bit.

"Perhaps you can help your father a bit?" Arnold recalled the meeting that Mr. Jones had to attend last night.

He himself was not present on the scene, but he saw Ruben's dark expression when he mentioned about that meeting.

The grand magic beasts' tide had just ended and every continents were busy with the follow up matters. The fact that the returnees were missing or perhaps dead had made many people's hearts moved.

Magic on the Green Planet changed many things.

People were getting used to the new power they had in their hands and it would be difficult to extricate themselves.

Arnold knew this very well.

Many people who suddenly gained power would use it for crooked means and even committing crimes. Coupled with the demonic magician paths that were fully available, it would be difficult for the law enforcement to handle these people.

Even if many of them had died in the repeated magic beasts' tide and so on, it was impossible to remove all of them.

Arnold knew that humans would have to face their greatest challenge yet.

It was the aftermath.

Fighting and wars were done, but the aftermath... the loss and devastation that followed them were still here.

It was absolutely impossible for them to recover right away.

And this time....

There would not be any returnee' deterrence.

Or well, Peter is still here but with just one person, the deterrence would not be as big as it used to be.

Just thinking about it gave people a lot of headaches.

As for other rank 7 magic warriors, magicians, and so on.... There were only a handful of them in each continent.
