Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 973 975: Reunion (2)

None of them actually knew when these returnees would come back from the other world.

Claire herself also heard that they have no way of contacting the returnee who went over to a completely different world.

The higher ups were actually the one who was very worried about their departure.

But for the sake of the Green Planet, they had to do this.

Now that Claire had seen Riya coming back, she felt relieved. So relieved that she forgot about something else...

*cough*

"If you're going to get married, why didn't you invite us all to attend?" Riya asked with aggrieved tone.

She also wanted to attend her friend's wedding!

After the world changed... wrong, after she experienced the sudden transmigration, returned to this world that changed after earthquake and then the additional three years of exploration, it has been 9 full years of constant battle and all.

Riya had to say that she was really tired.

There was not much time for her to relax except during the early period of time when she came back and met with her friends again.

Afterwards, she was in a constant battles, constant seek of strength, constant exploration, and so on.

It was really tiring.

But for the sake of her dream, Riya felt that it was all worth it.

She will still spend some time with her friends from time to time, but it was inevitable that she wouldn't stay with them as much as she used to be.

Her pursuit of strength made it impossible for her to waste time.

But looking at her friend, Riya suddenly felt that she had missed many things.

"I also want to, but it's not very convenient to travel between continents." Claire rubbed her cheek. Her family was quite powerful before the world changed and after the world changed, the managed to seize some opportunities, becoming even stronger in some areas.

To be honest, Claire herself didn't quite understand what her family was doing.

After all, Claire was not interested in her family business and she was determined to be the useless young miss of the Summer Family, her family members.

They also knew her temperament.

Anyway, Claire is usually very idle and often played around with Amelia.

If it was not because they were located in different continents, the two of them would have long made a lot of troubles.

Riya had been dragged around by Claire too when they were still in the university.

This girl really loved to play.

Just like Amelia.

The difference is... she probably didn't have much EQ and was stupider than Amelia who still retained more appropriate behavior as the young miss of the Jones Family.

"When did you get married?" Riya sighed but didn't pressure Claire.

She knew that it would be impossible for her to ask more things.

"Hmm, around half a year ago. You're not on the Green Planet during this period of time and I think it's better to get married if we want to live together," Claire replied with a grin.

"Your parents agree?"

"Yes~. Leon talked with them about something and I'm not allowed to listen."

When thinking about this, Claire pouted.

Her parents admonished Leon and seemed to be dissatisfied with him because of something. Claire herself didn't think that there was any problem, so she was angry at her parents for scolding Leon.

It was Leon who coaxed her afterwards.

Riya listened and blinked her eyes.

She seemed to understand the reason.

The two of them came from different continents. Moreover, Leon is one of the important returnee from Continent X.

It was impossible for the officials and the higher ups to release Leon so easily.

So if he got married with someone from different continent, they would hope that it was their partner who was persuaded to stay in Continent X and not vice versa.

Otherwise... they would lose Leon.

Of course, Continent Z also smelled this matter and the higher ups specially came to them and have negotiation.

It was a close negotiation, though.

So not many people knew about this.

Riya only knew the gist and didn't know the exact details of this matter. She only looked at Claire and in the end didn't say anything.

If her parents didn't tell Claire, they should have their consideration.

Considering Claire EQ...

Well, Riya had some guesses about the reason why they didn't tell her much.

"Your parents love you very much. They must not want you to suffer after your marriage," Riya said with a smile.

It's really enviable to have parents who cared for them so much.

Her own parents...

Her mother had died a long time ago before she traveled to the other world.

As for her father, Riya didn't know and didn't plan to find out either.

It was because of his action that the family was destroyed... Perhaps her mother had some blames too for not realizing his action and tried to cling on him, but Riya honestly hated her father more when she was young.

Later on, she just realized these two people were not really ready to become parents when they got married.

It was only in their new family that they were ready.

She was basically the 'experimental' child.

A failed one whom no one wanted.

And the other people whom she ever considered as her family members were no longer in this world...

'No, don't think too much.'

Riya pushed the thoughts away.

She knew very well how dangerous it would be if she was too self absorbed in her thoughts. If a magician were to fall into extreme thoughts, they might end up becoming a demonic magician.

And for a normal magician to fall into a demonic magician... the consequences would be very devastating.

At the very least, many of them ended up being so destructive that they could destroy several cities or even an entire country and nation without thinking it was wrong.

...No, they might not even realize what they were actually doing.

It was terrifying to think of.
