Chapter 751 - 753: Not the Right Time
Because there were not many people of lightning element and if Amelia made a move against Old Master Carson with this element, he will directly know that it was her.
Normally speaking, Amelia was not that afraid of others knowing that she made trouble.
After all, Amelia had done that for such a long time.
As the young miss of the Jones Family, there were many people who wanted to take advantage of her and often made trouble for her. Naturally Amelia would not be the good tempered young miss but will fight back!
She will make sure they paid for their action so that they would not dare to slight her in the slightest bit.
"Do you understand now?" Arnold poked Amelia's cheek tenderly. "If you provoke the Carson Family, they might make trouble with your father. While such trouble is nothing in the eyes of Mr. Jones, but this is not the right time."
Not the right time?
Amelia glanced outside of the gate where many people were still working to move the magic beasts' corpses and pursed her lips. The formation had been deactivated because it cost so much magic cores to activate and even though City A Base is rich, it wouldn't be able to withstand this kind of extravagant consumption.
Other city bases didn't have such mechanism like City A Base and had to use human lives to block these magic beasts' waves.
In a way, City A Base is actually very lucky.
The existence of two returnees who stayed in the same city was something that many people envied.
How many returnees are there in the whole world?
In the beginning, not many people could answer this question because the planet was so big and vast. It was impossible for them to find out everything when they were living so far away.
But now…
They have the answer.
It's only 12.
And in three city bases, 2 returnees lived there and protected the city base.
How could they not be jealous?
It was estimated that after this magic beasts' tide, there will be a lot of troubles awaiting those returnees and the officials, especially Continent Z's official.
Because there were a total of 5 returnees in Continent Z alone.
Moreover, Ruth probably had to be returned to Continent W or they wouldn't be able to handle the magic beasts from the crack that belonged to her.
Continent W will no longer tolerate Continent Z holding her back.
They needed her.
Lending Riya to help them block the crack was only a temporary measure to calm them down because Continent Z couldn't send Ruth back before the situation subsided. But it wouldn't be long before Ruth had to be returned to Continent W.
To be honest, Arnold could only get to hear this because of Ruben and Mr. Jones. The two people trusted him and allowed him to participate in the meeting to give his opinion.
But he felt really uncomfortable.
Because he could tell that in the eyes of these officials, these returnees seemed more like an object rather than a person with their own free will. Their life was already arranged by the officials and it looked as if they couldn't do anything nor were they allowed to voice out their own opinion.
It was really…
No matter how uncomfortable he is, Arnold could see that not all returnees have the same status.
They have their own way of survival.
And Ruth was an ordinary person.
She was not like Samuel who has a powerful family backing him and probably more similar to Riya and Peter.
She had no backing.
Riya could stay strong on her own because she had the capability to do so. No other returnees would be able to be like her, going around the crack like taking a stroll and harvested a lot of magic beasts' corpses on her own.
It was just like a walk in the park for her.
And it was also this qualification that made others not dare to offend her so easily.
Her various runes, magic scrolls, and talismans were hard to deal with. They have benefited greatly from her and established a cooperative relationship.
Since Riya is also not that greedy of a person, their relationship with the officials were relatively harmonious.
But Arnold heard that the officials were resentful because she was too close to Samuel.
After all, Samuel was known to be a black hearted businessman…
He had taken a lot of benefits and advantage from many other people during this period of time, earning the profit as a businessman.
Peter chose to associate with the Martial Arts Association, which allowed him to have a backing on his own. While he had to show his value to the association for them to provide him with resources, but it was a worthwhile deal for him.
After all, what Peter needed the most was a team to support him.
Right now, the Martial Arts Association has given him enough, allowing him to walk around Continent Z freely with his team and fought countless magic beasts to his heart content.
Free and unrestrained.
Even his backing had to consider his strength when dealing with him, thus giving him a certain degree of freedom.
Unfortunately, not everyone could be like them, achieving their own freedom.
Ruth was one of them.
So later on, there would only be one returnee in City J.
And from what Arnold had heard, Continent Y's situation was even worse… those returnees might not even be willing to work for Continent Y anymore.
Unfortunately, Arnold didn't know much about it.
Because Ruben only said that Continent Z's official received Continent Y's distress signal. But since they were also overwhelmed with so many magic beasts, they couldn't exactly respond to them.
Samuel and Riya were also busy to deal with the magic beasts from other cracks.
They really have no time to deal with other continent's problem.
At least, for the time being.
