Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 181

Chapter 181: The Taylor Family
“Father?”

“It’s nothing. You can go now.” Mr. Taylor shook his head and then said, “Tell your sister to go to the hospital to get the medicine. You can go with your mother.”

“Alright.” Cero pouted and then walked out swaggeringly.

The work that was given to Mr. Taylor in Business District Base was a manager of some sort. While the actual power was really low, but he was still able to get enough contribution points each day to feed his entire family and paid for Ciera’s medical expense.

As for the two children…

Mr. Taylor looked at the back of Cero and felt that he should find some work for these two people to do.

Even if they couldn’t do much work, but he didn’t want them to do nothing and only depend on him.

This couldn’t do.

They were indeed still young but the current situation was a bit special, so Mr. Taylor planned to find some easy to do jobs for his wife and two children. As for whether they would agree or not…

Heh, if they dared to disagree, he will not provide for them anymore.

…

At this moment, Ciera was looking at the medicine in her hand with bitter face. Her situation was special and she still has to drink medicine from the to time.

This made her feel annoyed.

If she had stayed firm and forced Riya to donate her kidney, this situation would not happen and she could live comfortably.

Unfortunately, it could not happen.

“Mother, what is it?” Ciera saw her mother coming after she forcefully swallowed the medicine and felt really bad.

“Someone is coming,” Ciera’s mother, Mrs. Taylor replied. “Do you remember Harry Mile? The older brother of Hansel Mile?”

Hansel Mile?

Ciera nodded her head.

That young man was quite famous as the second young generation in the university back then. But while the young man himself was quite useless, his brother was different because he has enough power in his family.

It was just that these matters was of no use now.

Many of their properties and wealth had become nothing more than piles of waste by now.

Well, it was still quite useful to a certain degree, though.

For example, they were able to get more favorable position in the Business District Base through exchanging some resources to the base. With this position, they didn’t have to work hard all day long like others.

But for the matter of resources… many people basically take it from the ruins now.

There were many people who did this and then used those resources to live well in the base. After all, only by staying in the base would there be people who protected them from the magic beasts.

It has been a bit more than half a month ever since the earthquake happened.

It couldn’t be said to be a long time.

But it was definitely not a short one.

This time was more than enough for some things to change and for some bases to be built. There were also some other smaller gathering of people in some places just to protect each other from these magic beasts.

City A’s number of magic beasts had decreased sharply thanks to Riya.

But not many people knew about this.

Only if they compare the number of magic beasts from city to city would they realize that the situation in City A was actually far better than others.

Thanks to this, there were fewer base built.

These people could travel further and there were only four established base that was built in the end.

City A Base was the main base and naturally also attracted the most people to come and take a look. Business District Base was the place where some businessmen and the few people nearby chose to stay because the ruins formed a nearly complete circle. They planned to fill the gap up within the next few days but these magic beasts came faster than their expectation.

There were two others but their location was further away from these two bases in City A.

But those were for later.

“What about him?” Ciera asked in confusion.

“He come here to discuss some business with your father. You go out and entertain him,” Mrs. Taylor said.

Ciera looked at her mother in confusion. “Now?”

Even though many people still polite on the surface in the base, they knew very well that the situation was really difficult. There were many people who wanted to take advantage of others through going to their houses and try to cheat on some meals.

For these kind of people, Ciera looked down on them.

Her life under her father has been going very well and Ciera planned to keep it that way. Aside from having to go to the hospital, her father didn’t mistreated her at all.

“Yes.”

Mrs. Taylor looked at her daughter and rubbed her daughter’s head tenderly. So many people couldn’t even take care of themselves but Ciera still looked very good. This made Mrs. Taylor very happy.

She felt that the best way for Ciera to ensure her livelihood was through getting married with someone powerful.

Harry Mile, as one of the leaders in this Business District Base, was naturally one of the candidate in her minds.

“But Mom, this base is not very big.” Ciera was disgusted when she thought of going to serve others like this.

Business District Base was definitely not the best base out there.

There were too many people who thought that this base will definitely fall within the next few days considering the situation was not very good.

So if Ciera was asked to step forward right now…

She was really unwilling.

Mrs. Taylor looked at her daughter and rolled her eyes. “What if the situation got better? At that time, there might not be other chances for you to step forward. Go and entertain him well!”

Seeing his mother like this, Ciera could only go to her father’s office unwillingly.
