Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Leader in Name
Samuel looked at his younger sister blankly. “Do you really think your brother is such a person?”

“…No.” Amelia shook her head and then said, “But just in case since you have become very powerful, Brother.”

Very powerful?

Samuel shook his head in amusement.

Because he was located in an influential family in that world, Samuel was able to see people who were far more powerful than him and met with many geniuses of the same age. It had allowed him to know that there were many people who were more talented and powerful than him.

This made him unable to be arrogant.

Even if he could see that he was powerful in this world, but Peter’s existence was already a warning to Samuel.

That there were also people who experienced the same thing as him and returned to this world. With their experience and perhaps some kind of treasure that they brought, they would have better advantage than the others and grew stronger.

Could he make sure that he would be the most powerful among them?

Samuel couldn’t.

He had his advantage and disadvantage and the only thing he could do was to work hard as much as possible so that he would not be left behind.

“The one who will do most of the negotiation is father,” Samuel said. “While I’m the leader in name, but most of the things in the base will be decided by father.”

Samuel discussed this with his father and Mr. Jones agreed to help Samuel take over most of the work and only the most important would be handed to Samuel. This was to allow Samuel more time to train and get stronger.

Because if Samuel couldn’t get stronger, then these magic beasts would grow much more powerful and they might fall into the passive state.

And the base construction was also half done by the soldiers and the people in the nearby areas. It could be said that Samuel did recruitment for people to work for him and gave them some food.

After getting the purification spell, it could be said that the food that they could provide is a lot. Water was also available and there was no problem to feed these people. The problem was the accommodation because it was still built, so the place was not very good.

Thankfully, these people were not very picky.

It could be said that they didn’t dare to be picky because they knew that it was hard to get resources in this time.

The appearance of those magic beasts outside had scared many people. They knew that not everyone had the qualification to fight these magic beasts to obtain resources, so some of them were obedient.

No way.

They couldn’t beat the other party.

Of course, there were also some people who felt entitled and made a fuss. For these people, Samuel gave order to directly kick them out. He didn’t have any time to deal with these childish people who couldn’t see their reality.

There were some people who stayed outside, doing whatever they wanted on their own. Samuel also paid no heed to these people. He knew that there were bound to be people who wanted to survive on their own and didn’t stay with the others, so he leave them be.

The base was built for those who wanted to stay inside.

It was not for everyone.

“I see.” Amelia nodded.

“You can go now and if you have time, help your mother making ice,” Samuel reminded.

The temperature was still rising, but he himself was not too bothered with it. With his increase in ranks, the temperature outside could barely affect him. It was only a bit hot in his opinion but not unbearable.

Unfortunately, many other people couldn’t say the same as Samuel.

Many people suffered from heatstroke because it was too hot and their body couldn’t withstand it anymore.

In order to help the people in the base, there were many faciliies that was equipped with air conditioner and it was working at 24 hours a day. But for the builders, they could only rely on the ice water that was provided from time to time.

For ice making, Mrs. Jones helped to arrange the people to freeze the water they gathered from the small stream nearby and also made it with mana. The only problem was that the number of people were so many and it was hard to fulfill everyone’s request.

“Ah…” Amelia nodded bitterly.

She missed Riya’s talisman.

That talisman lasted for an entire day before it no longer produced any cold temperature and Amelia once again suffered. She felt that when she was in the car back then, it was not as hot as when she was at home.

It seemed that Riya should have made the cooling talisman for them and allowed them to stay comfortably.

Samuel shook his head and then ignored his sister.

He was thinking about how he should persuade Carson Family to cooperate together. The other two big families in this villa’s areas were also not so easy to deal with. If there was no profit that they could see, they would be unwilling to agree.

While Samuel was busy on his own, Amelia made her way out and found her mother was still busy directing people to freeze the water and then brought it to the destination.

Before she could ask if she could help, her mother had kicked her out.

It seemed that the answer was no.

“Well, let’s go and see Ruby.”

After separated from her, Ruby has been staying in the research institute. Even though it was called a research institute, it was actually just a building where the people gathered and do some research for the magic beasts.

There were not many people there and the equipment was also barely enough.

Thankfully, while these people were not very satisfied, they were willing to work together and tried to analyze everything such as the weather, the magic beasts’ meat, and many other.
