Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Watching (3)
As the one who set up the formation, Riya was very clear that the formation would not last long to block the cracks.

And when she was in the crack, Riya didn’t really eliminate all magic beasts that exited there. She simply hunt those that she met on the way towards the pillar. But afterwards, she came out and didn’t explore the entire crack completely.

Based on the crude map that she had made, there were many intersections that she didn’t explore.

From these alone, Riya could guess that there might be more magic beasts.

But she had no intention to go there.

Especially when she was heading towards the second pillar through the first pillar’s clues and map route. Riya completely ignored the other paths and heads straight to the second pillar.

Afterwards, she left the crack.

So there were definitely still many magic beasts left there.

After some time, these magic beasts would surely come up again and at that time, the number of magic beasts on the surface was bound to increase.

“How about you, Old Master Black?” Samuel asked the other person who came.

The old man hesitated and then shook his head. “What you ask is a bit too much, Mr. Samuel. I’m afraid that I can’t accept it.”

“Is that so?” Samuel arched his eyebrows. “Asking for half of the resources while you don’t have to do anything, is it too much?”

Half?

Riya blinked her eyes. No wonder these people were unwilling to agree. They were all businessman who had a lot of resources before the earthquake happened. So many resources were handed over just like that?

It would be a miracle if they agreed.

But at the same time, if they didn’t have the ability to take their resources back, this proposal was already pretty good.

They didn’t have to do anything but to provide the information about the location of the resources and so on while Samuel would be the one to take it and face the risk of the magic beasts.

It was just that these magic beasts were clearly not Samuel’s opponents…

It was very likely that most of these magic beasts would be killed instantly just like how Riya killed countless magic beasts instantly after encountering them. Unless there were stronger magic beasts, it was hard to make them exert their real abilities to the fullest.

“Did Senior Samuel gather a lot of resources this way?” Riya asked.

“Not really. For some areas nearby, there’s no negotiation but take them directly because the buildings have already collapsed. There’s no point in asking anyone,” Amelia explained slowly. “But for the areas that are further away, it would take too much time to identify whether the warehouse has something inside or not.”

There were many warehouse buildings at the edge of the city and Samuel clearly had no time to check them all one by one. It would be more convenient for him to ask the owner for the pass key and took the resources while sharing it with the family who owned it.

Of course, this practice was not necessary.

If Samuel really wanted to, he could easily take them all by force.

“I see.” Riya nodded.

Come to think about it, she herself had taken several places’ resources and it was selected randomly around their university. Riya naturally had no time to find the owner of the place.

Riya rubbed her nose.

She didn’t really mean to commit crimes. It was more like when there were destruction everywhere, the most important thing for them was simply to survive. They couldn’t care about other things.

“I… we.. can’t accept it,” Old Master Black finally said. He couldn’t afford to lose so much for his family.

Samuel nodded and didn’t force Old Master Black. “Alright, if that’s your decision. You may leave now, Old Master Black.”

Old Master Black looked at Samuel once more before sighing and bowed. He didn’t want to offend Samuel but at the same time, he had to be responsible for the Black Family behind him. So for so much resources, he couldn’t hand it over.

With Old Master Black leaving, only Samuel and the Carson Family were left. Samuel turned to look at Old Master Carson and smiled faintly.

“Do you also want to refuse, Old Master Carson?”

Both the Lawson Family and the Black Family could afford to wait. Their resources were not really something that they had to take a this very moment, so they hesitated more than the Carson Family.

The Carson Family was different because they couldn’t really afford to wait.

If they waited any longer, the resources would become useless.

What was the point of them keeping it any longer if they couldn’t use it in the end?

“This…” Old Master Carson looked at his children and then sighed deeply. He nodded and said, “Alright, we agree.”

“Father!”

“Just promise me one thing… that’s to let the medicine be used by the people who need it,” Old Master Carson said as he looked at Samuel in front of him.

“Yes.” Samuel nodded.

The base needed a lot of resources and the fastest way to obtain resources was through taking the existing resources. These few resources that belonged to these people and had clear inventory about the content was clearly the best.

Otherwise, they would have to scavenge for a long time and might not even obtain what they wanted.

“The details will be talked with my father and I’ll bring the resources as fast as possible.” Samuel paused and looked at the second floor. “Before that, could you please call your granddaughter and my sister?”

“…Yes?”

Old Master Carson looked above and saw his granddaughter was peeking with Amelia.

Old Master Carson: “…”

The others: “…”

“Ahaha… they found us….” Amelia laughed awkwardly.

Sophia and Riya both looked at Amelia and sighed. Well, they would definitely be punished, so let’s just accept it and then move forward. Of course, they would still say that it was Amelia’s plan if they were asked.
