Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Fallen Vest
Sophia tilted her head. “Is it alright? I can prepare some food in exchange.”

In the past, tagging along to eat was nothing much. After all, everyone was used to it and resources were plentiful. But in the current time, every single piece of resource was very important and it was impossible for them to share it with others arbitrarily.

Sophia naturally understand that it was impossible to ask others to share their food without giving anything in return.

So she thought that she could share some food in exchange for eating together.

In this way, it would not be a complete loss for Amelia.

“That… alright.” Amelia nodded.

She originally wanted to say that there was no need for that. After all, the amount of food that they could eat was not much.

“It’s better to give something. I don’t have any additional food, so I can only give some contribution points,” Ruby said helplessly.

Riya thought to herself that she had a lot of food in her world. After ‘raiding’ a few malls and so on, she had collected a lot of resources. Moreover, her own farm was also continuously providing her with a lot of food with the puppet helping her to manage it.

In this way, there was no problem at all for Riya to provide for to Amelia.

But Riya think that what Amelia wanted was not that.

“I’ll give you that cool thing again later,” Riya said.

Amelia’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard Riya’s words and she nodded her head repeatedly. “Yes, yes!”

“Cool thing?” The other two were confused.

“It’s a secret.”

“Ah, it’s not fair!”

“Tell me!”

“Hey, wait, don’t push me over.”

“Hahaha!”

The scene of the four girls joking around and laughing could be said to be an odd view in this environment.

But for some reasons, the people who watched this scene all had smiles on their faces.

Because it was really livening.

…

Jones Family Residence

Mr. Jones heard about his sister in law and niece’s behavior and shook his head. He knew very well that these people would not stop making trouble.

Even he wondered how they managed to survive these days out there.

But it didn’t seem to matter that much.

He made the arrangement for them to stay in the furthest area from the villa area to prevent them from making more contact with Amelia. Otherwise, his daughter might even beat them all up.

Considering how Amelia’s progress has been better these days because of the stimulation from the magic beasts, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to withstand it if Amelia were to go crazy and wanted to beat them all up.

“Sir, there’s one more thing.”

“Yes?”

“One of Miss Amelia’s friends come and stopped Joshua when he want to shoot Miss Amelia.”

“Huh? Joshua… which Joshua is making trouble?” Mr. Jones frowned. There were many second generation young masters and Mr. Jones didn’t know all of them. He only knew that there were some people who were making trouble and were put into the separate ‘special jail’ outside.

“Joshua Lawson, Master.” The man who reported looked helpless.

“Ah, then it’s a good thing. I’ll thank her personally.” Mr. Jones nodded. Even if she was Amelia’s friend, he had heard that the gun was aimed at his daughter. With her strength, it would be difficult to block all bullets at the same time. “Make sure to treat him ‘properly.'”

He might not have as much power as his son, but he’s still a father.

That Joshua would have to pay for what he did.

“Yes, Master,” the man replied and then said, “But this is not the main point. Master, please see the video.”

Video?

Mr. Jones frowned but he still take a look at the surveillance record. The surveillance cameras had been placed in many places in the base to maintain order. Even though the law and order and have half fallen outside, they would not let it affect the lives in the base.

For the people to live together, they would need to have the right law and order.

Thankfully, the security cameras had been placed even before the earthquake and only some adjustment were made when the walls were erected.

At this time, Mr. Jones watched the video in front of him and saw the scene when Joshua suddenly broke free and took out the gun. In front of Joshua was Valeria and a few other young master and young misses of the families who lived in the villa areas.

And then, Joshua pointed the gun at Amelia.

Bang!

The bullet reached the front of Amelia, but her reaction speed was fast enough. The counterattack shield was already erected, blocking the bullet and stopping it in front of her.

But Joshua didn’t want to stop.

It was just that he couldn’t do anything because someone had already dashed forward at this moment. His hand suddenly pointed down and three gunshots were sounded before a girl came and knocked the back of Joshua’s neck.

“This speed…” Mr. Jones was stunned.

Having interacted with Samuel, Mr. Jones was naturally aware about the various ranks of magic warriors, mages and so on. However, he and the rest of the family members were only rank 1. He and his wife were already advanced in age and not very suitable for training, so their progress were slow. On the other hand, Sean and Amelia were only slightly better and their improvement has become faster.

They naturally tested their children’s speed and strength.

The other people who had reached rank 1 were all also tested.

But looking at this video, it was clear that Riya’s speed had far surpassed these people. It could be said that she might have reached rank 2 in terms of strength.

Such strength and capability…

“Master…”

“You don’t have to do anything.” Mr. Jones waved his hand and looked at the video again. The corner of his lips curled up slightly. “It seems that I need to talk with my daughter.”

At this moment, Riya’s plan to stay as low key as possible… fell through before it could even be implemented.
