Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Amelia: Nooo
“Ah, Brother…”

Amelia’s face collapsed when she heard that she will come along with Samuel to retrieve the resources.

Going out in this temperature was simply hell.

If it was just a few minutes walk to other mansion like this, Amelia didn’t mind too much. After all, the environment in Sophia’s mansion was also pretty good. But if she has to stay outside for a long period of time, Amelia felt that this was even worse than the long training that Samuel arranged for her and Sean before.

It was so freaking hot!

“You have to train facing those magic beasts.” Samuel was tough in front of his sister. This Amelia has always been very lazy. If she was not being pressured to train more from time to time, it was estimated that Amelia would never make any progress.

Towards this sister of his, Samuel felt really helpless.

He could only try his best to make sure Amelia was training properly and brought her out when there was a chance. Only by fighting those magic beasts on her own would it be possible for Amelia to improve.

“I…” Amelia turned to look at Riya and Sophia behind her.

Naturally, the one reprimanded the most by Samuel was Amelia. He could guess that her friends were dragged along by Amelia, so he focused his attention on this sister of his.

“Good luck.” Sophia raised her hand and cheer.

Riya patted Amelia’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, you will not die with your brother protecting you.”

Amelia: “…”

She wanted to cry but had no tears.

What she was worried about was not her dying but her suffering! After all, Amelia also knew that her brother’s strength would be more than enough to protect her when it was necessary.

Amelia was sure that if the situation was not life threatening, Samuel would definitely not make any move.

“As for you two…” Samuel looked at Sophia and Riya. The Carson Family was still here and it was impossible for him to bring Sophia along. “You should stay with your family and help them out, Miss Carson.”

“Definitely, Mr. Samuel,” Sophia replied with a grin and then turned around. Her brother, Stephen, was looking at her with his arms crossed.

Sophia: “…”

It seemed that she was happy too soon.

Even if Samuel couldn’t do anything to her, it couldn’t be said to be the same with her brother and family members. They wouldn’t be happy to see her snooping around and overheard the conversation like this.

“Come with me, Sophia.” Stephen beckoned for his sister to come with him.

“Yes…”

Riya watched this and felt somewhat amused. At the same time, she also felt a bit lonely because she knew that even though these two people were reprimanded and punished, it was more like because their family members cared for them.

On the other hand, Riya had no one to reprimand her because those people never cared for her.

Pushing the thoughts away, Riya looked at Samuel, wondering what kind of decision he wanted to make for her.

“And Miss Riya…” Samuel paused for a moment and looked at the young woman in front of him. He pursed his lips and then asked, “Do you want to come along?”

Amelia: “…” What’s with that question like tone?

She felt that her brother was being partial and she has evidence for it!

Then again, Riya was not exactly their sister and it was impossible for Samuel to be harsh to her. Just like Samuel didn’t really ask Sophia to do anything and leave this matter to the Carson Family to arrange.

Riya blinked her eyes, not expecting this question.

She was actually thinking about resting a bit at the base instead of going out again. After all, she had to prepare quite a lot of formations before she was ready to face the crack again.

But if she didn’t come with them, she didn’t have anything else to do in the base.

“Ok,” Riya said.

“Yes! Let’s go together, Riya.” Amelia happily hugged Riya, making Riya confused. Why does Amelia look so happy with her participation? It was not like Riya promised that she would fight for Amelia, right?

It was only later that Riya found out the reason for Amelia to he so happy was…

*sigh*

Samuel’s lips twitched at his sister’s behavior and he waved his hand. “Come with me to the research institute to check on the progress.”

“Yes.”

They left the Carson Family’s Mansion and the people in the Carson Family turned to look at Sophia.

Everyone knew that Sophia was friends with Amelia, but they didn’t expect that Sophia would follow along with Amelia to eavesdrop in their conversation.

“If you had wanted to know about the negotiation, you can tell me first, Little Sophia,” Old Master Carson said with a sigh.

“Grandpa,” Sophia called out with some hesitation and then said, “It’s not like that. I was only accompanying Amelia.”

Otherwise, Amelia would not be able to go to the second floor and have a chance to eavesdrop on their conversation. If Sophia had to say, she didn’t really want to listen to their negotiation with Samuel.

She didn’t really have to know these.

“I see.”

Stephen shook his head and poked Sophia’s head. “Don’t be influenced by her too much.”

“Sophia, do you think it’s possible for you to…”

“Don’t think about it.” Before the elder could finish speaking, Stephen interrupted and looked at his uncle with cold gaze. “Her friendship with Amelia had nothing to do with this matter.”

Sophia’s uncle wanted to open his mouth and said more, but his wife pulled his hand and shook her head. It was clear that even if they have good relationship, Samuel would not change the requirement.

The business’ matter and private matters were different and Samuel would not mix them up.

“Grandpa, we’re going back first,” Stephen said and pulled Sophia away. He didn’t want her to be used by these greedy relatives to curry favor with the Jones Family. They were all used to be powerful family and there was no need to resort to such a low tactic.
