Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1122 1125: Ruben (2)

"...Being an official is tough, Ruben," Stephen said when he saw Ruben's expression.

They didn't need to speak so clearly, but he clearly understood what Ruben was thinking right now.

Because aside from being friends, they were also childhood friends.

They have known each other for a long time.

"Hmm?" Ruben arched his eyebrows. "I like this job and even though I'm constrained, I can still accept it."

He knew very well that from the moment he chose to become Mr. Jones' assistant, there would be many things that he couldn't do. This was something that Ruben has been prepared himself to face.

But when there were things that he really wanted to do but unable to...

Ruben couldn't help but feel that it was quite tiring.

So watching Amelia beating up those magicians from the Magic Association felt refreshing and then Ruben chose to slip away. This way, he didn't have to clean up the mess temporarily.

"You've always been like that." Stephen chuckled and then patted Ruben's shoulder with his free hand. "Then I can be reassured to leave the base's runes and formation development in your hand, future most powerful rune master."

Future most powerful rune master?

Ruben was stunned and shook his head helplessly. He knew very well that with Riya in front of him, it would be absolutely impossible for Ruben to become the best rune master in the world.

But while Riya was gone...

'There will be many people who would want to take this position.'

While working as Mr. Jones's assistant to manage City A Base, Ruben had to work hard and learn the rope as rune masters. Because he couldn't possibly let other people become the most powerful rune master when he's the one who's Riya's student.

How humiliating would that be if someone surpassed him when he already had such a great advantage?

Ruben shook his head and then turned around.

He will wander around for a while more before going back and then helped Amelia to clean up the mess of her beating up those magicians from the Magic Association.

As for the medical fees....

Let those magicians from the Magic Association paid for it themselves.

He didn't want to pay for them.

...

Stephen shook his head wryly.

To be honest, he was also at loss when he heard Samuel and Riya left the Green Planet through the passage.

The disappearance of these returnees were told to him one by one.

Well, it was thanks to the few connections that he had made over the time he wandered around.

Stephen even felt that if he were to start his career as a businessman again, he would definitely succeed. Because the connection that was necessary for businessman were complete in his hand.

But Stephen didn't have any plan to start a business for the time being.

The main reason was because he was worried that the Carson Family would come and trouble him.

He wanted to protect his sister above his own dream.

No matter what, his sister's life is much more important than his own dream.

As for the future?

He could work as anyone and it was not that important for him to become a businessman. Even becoming a small peddler would be more than enough as long as he could still live well with his sister.

"Sam, you're really..."

Making decision on his own and just leave when he wanted to... very selfish and annoying.

If Samuel were to stand in front of Stephen right now, he had no doubts that he would definitely punch the other party.

Because Stephen could tell that Samuel definitely acted on impulse.

He left through that passage to a completely different world and might not return again in his entire life.

Before leaving, he did leave some space storage scrolls for them, the content was just some message and also some books that detailed the future ranks for their practice.

Uh... wrong.

The future practice was only for Arnold.

Because Stephen and Ruben were magicians instead of magic warriors.

And Riya herself didn't have the practice methods for normal magicians in complete list, so she could only hand over the meditation methods. For the magic spells, they could only turn to the magicians from the Magic Association.

But when Stephen thought about the magic spells from the magicians from the Magic Association...

He really didn't want to learn even a single one of them.

Only some of them were somewhat bearable to learn and the others would make Stephen want to dig a hole and hide there for the rest of his life.

It's too embarrassing!

*sigh*

Stephen rubbed his hand as he headed over to the house that he temporarily rented for him and his sister.

The main reason why he needed to rent a house was because of Sophia's magic beasts. She had too many of them and without a proper house, she wouldn't be able to take out any of them.

Considering Sophia might need the company of her magic beasts...

Stephen chose to rent a house directly.

It was a bit expensive, but it was nothing for Stephen since he could ask for some discount from Ruben and the others.

He will make up the number with other things later.

"Hmm... brother?" Sophia was inside, hugging Melly tightly and looked somewhat at loss. Her previously bright eyes were red and dim.

Even after a day had passed, Sophia still couldn't stop crying.

"Sophia..." Stephen looked at his sister like this and felt distressed. He sighed and sat down beside Sophia after putting the groceries away. "They will be fine in a completely different world."

Sophia pursed her lips.

How could they be fine?

Even though it was obvious that they walked into the passage... but many people were saying that they should have destroyed the passage from the inside and died in the process.

The evidence is that they didn't come out afterwards.

But some people said that they should go to the other world.
