Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Conflict before Beast Tide
Samuel was standing on top of the wall, but he could hear what his father was saying.

And he also nodded in agreement.

He felt that his father’s decision was correct and these people who had some power in City A Base should recognize the reality. No matter how much power they wield, they had to follow the rules here.

Bringing the magic beasts to their base would be the same as putting the lives of everyone in City A Base in danger.

“I thought that you’re going to let them all die outside,” Peter commented when he heard that Mr. Jones was only charging them with resources. He felt that Mr. Jones was too kind.

“Dying is too easy,” Samuel replied. “It’s better to let them experience the pain of having no resources.”

Peter: “…”

He took back his words.

Samuel is really ruthless and Peter had no doubt that Samuel would not hesitate to torture these people should the situation allow it.

Thinking about this, Peter silently took a step back.

He didn’t want to stand so close to Samuel.

“I’m going to recover my mana. You can start first when these magic beasts arrived,” Samuel said and then sat down on the side to meditate.

Peter was stunned when he heard Samuel’s words. He looked at the other party speechlessly. “Do you trust me that much?”

But Samuel didn’t answer.

Peter himself didn’t care too much about the answer as he looked at the dense magic beasts’ tide coming to them. Considering that they were about to face magic beasts’ tide, it didn’t seem to be that surprising for Samuel to trust him.

After all, Peter himself knew that he couldn’t possibly attack Samuel at this time.

The two of them didn’t really have a grudge.

The main reason why Peter kept on challenging Samuel was because he wanted to train and Peter’s path was destined to make him fight a lot. Because only when he fought would it be possible for him to become stronger and adjust his strategy.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to improve so quickly with so little resources in that world.

‘But it seems that the large resources I have in this world can’t make me the leading figure.’

Thinking about this, Peter sighed.

These people who were born at rich family were really enviable.

The earthquake had more or less caused a lot of changes in the world’s structure, including the matter of these rich families. Many of them were caught unprepared and money has become waste paper.

Who would care about money now?

They cared more about resources!

Bang!

Hearing the gunshot, Peter peeked down and saw Mr. Black was being dragged away. It seemed that the soldiers were also angry with Mr. Black.

Peter didn’t know but Mr. Jones and the general who came to take a look were really angry. Because the military choose to cooperate together with Mr. Black and had handed over several soldiers to protect Mr. Black.

The result?

The soldiers all died to protect Mr. Black and he even dragged the magic beasts’ tide to City A Base.

How could they not be angry?

“What did you do to attract these magic beasts?” Mr. Jones asked coldly.

The magic beasts were about to reach City A Base and the soldiers had rushed to their respective position, nervously waiting for the magic beasts to reach the designated location for them to start attacking.

Mr. Black wanted to refute and said that he didn’t attract them, but the cold gaze from Mr. Jones and the military made him cower.

His trucks were confiscated and most of the resources were taken by Mr. Jones while the rest were taken by the military as part of the agreement.

“They just come out of the rubbles so suddenly,” Mr. Black replied unwillingly.

“How could it be possible?” The General frowned when he heard Mr. Black’s words.

These magic beasts came out of the crack and not from the rubbles. Could it be that there was a crack under the rubbles?

“Did you blow up the ruins?” At this time, Arnold had come and asked with a frown. Because he remembered that when he, Samuel, and the others went to take resources, Samuel had buried many magic beasts under the ruins through destroying a building.

There was a crack there but they couldn’t close it, so they used the unconventional means of destroying the building.

With Samuel’s strength, destroying a building was nothing much.

“No… I mean, yes… There’s an underground warehouse in that building that belong to me,” Mr. Black was about to refute but then he changed his words.

There was nothing wrong with what he did in his opinion.

“You gave him explosive?” Mr. Jones’ face was black as he looked at the general.

The General nodded with a dark face. “It seems that it’s a mistake for me to give them the explosive.”

The original intention for them giving the explosive was to let Mr. Black open up the protective gate in the warehouse. After all, some warehouse was a bit hard to open if they didn’t have the right key.

Some of them were even broken because of the earthquake and could no longer be opened normally.

But who would have thought that Mr. Black would use it to blow up the ruins?

“Stupid.” Arnold thought about how they closed the crack opening back then and felt headache.

How many magic beasts had gathered in that crack?

He didn’t know.

“I didn’t do anything wrong…”

“Your building is blown up to cover up the crack,” Arnold said and then saw the magic beasts coming and quickly ran to the gate. “Open fire, now!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As series of gunshots started, Mr. Black was stunned. He didn’t expect that his own building was actually destroyed on purpose.

Who would have thought that there was a crack there?

Right now, he felt immense regret for being greedy…
