Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 963 - 965: Worry

Stephen heard his sister's words and didn't respond.

He knew more than Sophia who didn't receive much information from Riya because she didn't plan on dragging her friend into the complicated world of the returnees and the higher ups.

He himself had long been embroiled in various complicated matters, so Samuel still told him some things.

One of them was the prophecy of a never-ending battle that would come soon.

'It would only take a few more weeks at most before the time that Samuel said. Before that, I have to pick a relatively safe place to stay with Sophia.' Stephen looked at his sister and sighed in his heart.

He didn't want to care too much about the movement of the outside world.

Because Stephen felt that it was truly tiring.

But he had to know some things in order to make sure that he could protect his sister well.

Grand magic beasts' tide.

Right now, even the higher ups was hiding this matter and made sure that no one knew about it. All while preparing in secret to welcome the grand magic beasts tide and resisted it to their utmost capability.

Stephen had heard about it from Arnold and Ruben who were still in City A Base.

The two of them were involved in this matter and had to help City A Base to make enough preparation.

But the outside world didn't know.

Considering how many magic beasts have appeared, any large scale military operation no longer shocked the people. Instead, they would only think that the military were quite reliable as they continued to eliminate the magic beasts that were staying outside of the bases.

From these two people, Stephen found out that the higher ups had made thorough preparation for the grand magic beasts' tide.

But the most important thing is still these returnees.

Without the returnees, it would be impossible for them to hold the frontline. Because Samuel had said that rank 7 magic beasts would be numerous during the grand magic beasts' tide to the point that it would be overwhelming.

Without the returnees, could these continents hold on their own?

No one knew.

And Stephen himself didn't know either.

But he hoped that they could still pass by the grand magic beasts' tide safely.

"Brother?" Sophia saw her brother was in trance and tilted her head. "Can we stop for a while?"

"Hmm? Sure, what do you want to do?" Stephen turned to look at Sophia.

"I want to talk with Amelia and the others," Sophia replied with a grin. "If we're too far away from the base, there won't be any signal."

Stephen nodded and stopped not far from the tree nearby.

He also took out his phone to check the news about the returnees.

Speaking of which, which returnee have returned to the Green Planet so far?

[Arnold, has Samuel returned?]

[Huh? Not yet.]

So it's not Samuel.

Stephen put his phone away and then looked at his sister who was busy chatting with her friends with a smile.

He didn't regret going out of City A Base with his sister.

While he did miss his friends, but he didn't want to depend on them for the rest of his life.

Not to mention that Carson Family was also there.

It would be better for him to stay in a completely different place, far away from them.

'I guess it'll take a while.'

Sophia always spent a long time to chat with her friends, so Stephen was prepared to wait for a while.

...

One married, two engaged, and two single pretty girls chat group

I'm the prettiest girl (Sophia): Hey, Mel, have your brother returned to City A Base? I kept on hearing about the returnees who have returned during my trip.

Pampered baby (Amelia): Huh? No, the one who come back is not my brother but the other two. My brother and Riya hadn't come back yet.

I want a red packet (Claire): So Riya is still away, huh?

Pampered baby (Amelia): Claire, you're the one who stayed in Continent X, so you should be the one who know when they come back! How come you sound so surprised?

I want a red packet (Claire): Well, I don't know whether Riya will visit me after her return or not. Besides, do your really think that I have time to pay attention about this matter all the time?

Ruby: She will definitely pay a visit.

Pampered baby (Amelia): Huh? Why are you so certain, Ruby?

I want a red packet (Claire): + 1

Ruby: Because she hadn't seen you for a long time and when she passed by Continent X, she will definitely tell you even if it's just for a short period of time.

I'm the prettiest girl (Sophia): That's right. Riya's temperament will definitely make her visit you for a short period of time. But still, I thought that the one who come back is Riya or at least your brother, Mel.

Pampered baby (Amelia): I do wish for my brother to come back soon because I'm worried for his safety, but I believe that the two of them are doing fine. Besides, they're now so powerful and had a lot of responsibility on their shoulder, so I can't always bother them all the time.

I want a red packet (Claire): it sounds really troublesome.

I'm the prettiest girl (Sophia): I'm sure that Riya didn't want any of these troublesome matters.

Pampered baby (Amelia): Pfft, you bet that it's true. Unfortunately, she can't escape from these things even though she had been trying to live low key for a long period of time.

Ruby: Let's comfort her when there's a chance in the future.

I'm the prettiest girl (Sophia): Right. I might need to come close to City A Base in the future just for the sake of it.

Pampered baby (Amelia): Ahh, when will you come back here? I have a lot of places that I want you to visit...]
