Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Conflict (2)
Riya took a deep breath as she listened to the quarrel between Amelia and Valeria. She had always known that Amelia was not someone that could be easily taken advantage of. After all, she knew very well that Amelia’s fire power when scolding people were also very fierce.

But the problem is, Amelia was restrained by her identity.

Most of the time, Amelia would not dare to push too hard and make things too troublesome between her and Valeria.

Today, Amelia had seen that the world changed too much.

There wouldn’t be anyone who would care about laws and order as much as before. The law and order in the base would be controlled to a certain degree.

But how about outside?

Who would have the time to care about those things?

How many people died unjustly because of various small conflicts in the past two weeks?

There were too many to count.

And at this moment, Amelia didn’t care about her position or so on when she was confronting Valeria because she felt that these things were useless.

She better do what she wanted and be comfortable.

“I didn’t…” Valeria wanted to refute but found that she couldn’t say anything else but a refutation.

Because she really didn’t want to do those hard tasks in the base.

Aside from the cleaning work that was snapped by many women, the work left was only the construction work. There were some women who were strong and took it, but how could Valeria take it?

She was a pampered young miss in her family.

Her strength was definitely far from enough if she wanted to take that kind of work.

As for competing with others to take the other easier job?

Valeria was late.

Her own mother was also unable to get any job and thus, the two of them were full of misery today. They wanted to find Amelia to ask for help but found out that Amelia was not present.

When Amelia came back, they naturally pressed her to give them something.

The two of them still have some food but when they heard about the cold talisman, they rushed over to find Amelia. It would be better to ask for things from Amelia rather than Samuel and the others.

This might be because Amelia looked soft and weak.

Though, she actually could be very ruthless.

“Don’t think that you can get things for free.” Amelia snorted. “Go and find work. Don’t find me all the time. I’m not your mother who had to take care of you.”

With that, Amelia pulled Riya into the house, not wanting to care about Valeria anymore. She felt that the more they talked with Valeria, the more annoyed she would be. This woman didn’t seem to understand that the world was no longer the same as it used to be.

“Amelia! You can’t do this to me! I’m…”

“Guards, don’t let her come near here anymore.” Amelia looked at the guards and her eyes narrowed. “Whoever allowed her to come in will be moved to the frontier task.”

The guards felt sweat drops on their back.

They knew very well that the task of guarding the mansions’ area could be said to be the safest mission for them. If they were to be transferred away, they would have to face those magic beasts.

Who would want to risk their lives all the time?

“Yes, Miss.”

With that, they dragged Valeria away rudely.

“Let me go! I’m from the Jones Family too… ahhh!”

This time, no one paid attention to her. The few people in the mansion’s areas had long known the two cousins have bad relationship with each other. But this Valeria seemed to be like a sticky rice bug that couldn’t be kicked away.

Amelia entered the mansion and took a deep breath. “She’s getting more and more outrageous.”

In the past, Valeria would take care of her image.

But today, Amelia could see that Valeria barely cared for her own image and insisted to continue charging forward regardless of the consequences.

This made Amelia terribly annoyed.

“Just ignore her.” Riya shook her head and said, “As long as she couldn’t get close to here, she wouldn’t think about taking advantage all the time.”

“Right.” Amelia took a deep breath once more. “I’ll tell my brother to select better guards. If they don’t know who can come and who shouldn’t come, then they shouldn’t be working here in the first place.”

Riya could see that Amelia was terribly annoyed and felt helpless about it. As the young miss of the Jones Family, Amelia would not tolerate others making such a mistake. These people were paid to guards the gate. Why should they let people who shouldn’t be here enter the mansion areas?

If this continued, it would only put their lives in danger.

“Come on, let’s not pay attention to her,” Riya said and nudged Amelia.

But seeing Amelia’s family made Riya also thought about her own family.

Well, so called family.

Her father and stepmother were pestering her quite a lot sometime ago. They nearly caused her death and wanted to plot against her.

From what Riya knew, this pair of father and annoying half sister and half brother were still in City A. Riya could only hope that they would not go to City A Base or they would encounter each other.

At that time…

Riya couldn’t guarantee that she could hold back.

Especially if they dared to make trouble like how Amelia’s family did today.

“Yeah.” Amelia took a deep breath and then glanced at Riya. “By the way, Claire and Victoria should be on their way here too. When they come, I’ll let them stay in the mansion’s area or somewhere safe.”

Sophia and Ruby were easy to arrange because one of them was part of the Carson Family who had a mansion here and the other was part of the research institute now.

Even if the latter’s position was a bit low, but it was enough to give her a place.

But the other two… it was a bit more difficult.
