Runemaster in the Last Days

"Uh…" Amelia nodded with frown and allowed Arnold to keep pulling her towards the gate.

She had heard about her father mentioning this matter before, but she never paid attention too deeply.

After all, Amelia was not interested in politics and so on.

So while Arnold was quite clear about the situation outside, Amelia only has superficial knowledge.

"They're there." Arnold sighed but didn't try to explain to Amelia. He knew that this little girl never had any interest in these things. Otherwise, Mr. Jones would not have passed Amelia directly when he talked about his successor and only talked about between Samuel and Sean.

Though, from the way it looked like, neither of these two people wanted to succeed him.

For this matter, Arnold felt a bit of pity for Mr. Jones.

After all, this meant he had to wait for the next generation.

But eh… since they had started practicing and become stronger, their lifespan would naturally increase too. In this way, there would be no problem for Mr. Jones to stay in this position for another 30 years or so.

There would be enough time for the next generation to grow up. Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

The premise is that the Green Planet would still exist and not being destroyed in the middle because of various matters.

"Sophia!"

Stephen and Sophia were already standing by the gate. They had conflict with the Carson Family early on and then decided to head to the gate early.

This was to prevent the Carson Family from trying to trip them further.

"Brother, after this, we'll stay far away from City A Base?" Sophia asked with her voice quivered slightly, trying hard to restrain her uneasiness.

Because she didn't really want to be separated from her close friends.

After the world changed, Sophia has been together with Riya, Amelia, and Ruby. Even though they were not always together, they still spent a long time with each other from time to time.

But if she left City A Base…

Will she be like Claire whom hadn't been heard for a long time?

The last time they heard from Claire, she only reported that she's safe and that she's living well. They didn't know the rest because the other party didn't say anything to them.

"Don't worry, I'm sure that you will be able to return to City A Base soon," Stephen said solemnly.

He could guess that based on Samuel and Riya's personality, the two of them might not take this lying down after they heard about it. It was just that he wanted to use this chance to explore the outside world.

They have heard many things about what happened in other bases and Stephen wanted to take a look himself.

His sister will follow along so that she could learn more about the outside world.

She has been protected too tightly as the young miss of the Carson Family.

"Really?" Sophia was pleasantly surprised.

"It'll only take a few months at most," Stephen made a promise. He also didn't want them to leave that long.

Sophia looked at her brother doubtfully, but Stephen didn't explain to his younger sister. There was no need to tell her that it would only take a few months for a powerful family to fall in the hands of Samuel.

When that man was serious, he could destroy a business empire even when he didn't have the full control of the Jones Family.

Now that he was basically the one in charge of City A Base….

Stephen believed that he could do it faster if he wanted to.

And even if he didn't want to, Stephen would not say anything and accepted it. After all, Carson Family did make contribution and some things were not that easy to solve.

"Sophia!"

Hearing the familiar call, Sophia turned her head and was pleasantly surprised to see Amelia and Arnold coming over. "Amelia!"

"Tsk, are you trying to leave without telling anything to us?" Amelia asked with annoyed and then hugged Sophia tightly. She spent most of her time during this period of time with Sophia and thinking about their temporary separation soon, she felt really unwilling.

If possible, Amelia really wanted to spend more time with Sophia.

"Ah… I don't know what to say to you," Sophia said honestly and then added with some embarrassment. "Besides, I'm not entirely sure that I'll leave for long."

"Really?"

"That's what my brother told me." Sophia turned to look at Stephen.

Arnold had already arrived and he arched his eyebrows. "I didn't expect you to be so capable now, Stephen."

"I have made some plans on my own," Stephen admitted calmly and raised his fist forward. "But I wouldn't mind some helpers."

Bump!

Arnold bumped his fist to Stephen and shook his head. "No way, I don't have that much capability. If you really want someone to help you, you should have waited until he returned."

"No… I don't want to make a big scene." Stephen shook his head. "The Magic Association is already on the move and they might want to target City A Base too… so you have to be careful."

Magic Association?

Thinking about the fact that City A Base had a bad relationship with the Magic Association, Arnold's expression turned a bit strange and then he said, "I got it."

He could guess that the Carson Family has some relationship with the Magic Association and Stephen heard about it.

But in that case…

How troublesome.

Internal fighting?

"How are you going to go?" Amelia finally asked another question.

"I'm going to use my Castle Turtle," Sophia replied cheerfully. "Riya is really amazing. She had just selected this magic beast for me but I can already used it for my escape."

Amelia was stunned for a moment and nodded thoughtfully.

Even though Sophia looked like an ignorant girl, the two of them knew very well that Riya might have long expected something like this to happen, which was why she quickly prepared the Castle Turtle for Sophia.
