Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1121 1124: Ruben

BANG!

Ruben looked at the locked door in front of him and felt that Riya definitely set him up.

But thinking about what he had just seen....

Well, it didn't seem to be that bad.

Ruby would definitely feel a bit embarrassed at this time, so Ruben didn't dare to linger around here and he sighed.

'She must have known about my thoughts.' Ruben walked out of the research institute after greeting Professor Brown about his departure. He didn't think that it would be possible for him to really hide his thoughts from Riya.

After all, she was indeed pretty sharp.

"And you must have put it inside purposely in order to make sure that we won't be too sad." Ruben sighed.

No matter what, life must go on.

Riya and Samuel should have known for a long time that if they were to face something dangerous and couldn't return, they had to make sure the others could live well even without them.

It's just...

He wouldn't be able to help but miss his friends who were far away from time to time.

"Sam, you have to survive and go back," Ruben muttered under his breath as he walked alongside the road. He didn't want to go back and dealt with the magicians from the Magic Association again.

After Amelia's burst of anger, Ruben believed that these magicians from the Magic Association would not dare to make any trouble in City A Base.

So he could do other things now.

As Ruben walked, he soon found Stephen, who was buying some things on the street.

"...You're buying groceries?" Ruben blurted out, clearly surprised.

Stephen: "...."

He looked at Ruben speechlessly and rolled his eyes. "Do you think that I'm still the young master of the Carson Family?"

It has been a long time since Stephen and Sophia were kicked out of the Carson Family and then started their journey to wander around the world. The two of them didn't want to stay in City A Base and it was also because of this that they chose to leave.

As for the Carson Family?

It was long gone.

"Sorry, I'm just not used to it." Ruben couldn't help but laugh.

It couldn't be helped.

Ever since he was young, he had gotten used to see Stephen as the elite young master of the Carson Family who would wear suits all day long. The only time when he wore different clothes would be when he was wearing uniforms.

After the world changed, Stephen didn't really wear suits.

But he still wore t-shirts and comfortable pants that actually didn't look much different from his usual outfits.

Besides, Stephen finally took on the road of a magician because his talent as a warrior was not that high. So even if he were to dress a bit fancily, no one would say anything and could accept it easily.

Stephen rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"My sister is busy, so I have to replace her job," Stephen replied.

"Why don't you put it in the space storage scrolls?"

"My sister took all the space storage scrolls."

Ruben was silent.

He looked at Stephen, who was still proud and remembered belatedly that this guy is a proper siscon. Whoever wanted to marry Sophia in the future would have to face an extremely tough challenge from Stephen.

That is if they ever want to get married.

After all, many people didn't really want to start a relationship in this chaotic world after seeing the lowest of the low.

Many people even dared to sell their own close relatives for a bite of food.

The situation in City A Base was still relatively better.

But for other city bases.... The situation was so bad that it would not be an exaggeration to say that many people were suffering every single day.

"Also, why are you not working, Ruben?" Stephen finally remembered something and asked.

"Amelia is angry and beat up a few magicians from the Magic Association, so I'm not going back yet," Ruben replied simply.

But Stephen understood.

Amelia rarely truly got angry because she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of her eldest brother. Who made Samuel so terrifying that Amelia would be punished if she dared to act unruly?

Only Samuel could control Amelia so much.

So knowing that Amelia made trouble and beat up some magicians from the Magic Association, Ruben chose to stay away temporarily.

Once things calmed down, he would go back.

But for now...

Let him relax a bit.

Anyway, those magicians from the Magic Association would not die since Amelia has no hobby of killing people.

"It seems that she has recovered quickly." Stephen nodded after hearing that Amelia was still in the mood to beat up some magicians from the Magic Association.

The blows from yesterday's news was by no means small.

To be honest, if it was not because Stephen had to take care of Sophia's feeling, he himself would not want to be here.

He could remember that feeling.

The feeling of being at loss, not knowing what to do, or... knowing that his friend was now gone, Stephen didn't know what to feel.

Anger? Sadness? Regret?

While it was true that Stephen wanted to punch those two people for sacrificing their lives like this, he also knew that he had no such qualification.

Because they could only survive thanks to their decision.

So Stephen could only accept it.

Even if his heart was bleeding, but his rational side was telling him that this was the best result that they could have.

"Arnold should have helped her to recover," Ruben said as he looked at the distance.

To be honest, Ruben really wanted to be like Amelia and freely express his feeling such as beating up those magicians from the Magic Association on his own.

But he couldn't.

His position and his identity restrained him and he couldn't do anything arbitrarily or there would be many troublesome matters that he had to do later on.
