Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Discordance
Samuel left.

Only Amelia and Riya were left in the dormitory. Amelia slumped on the sofa. “It’s over. Someone will be dead when my brother finish dealing with them.”

“This is a continent ruled by law.” Riya looked at Amelia with amusement. “Your brother is a law abiding citizen and will not kill people.”

“I didn’t mean literally.” Amelia shook her head. “But do you know that in the business war, it’s possible to push someone to bankruptcy?”

Riya was silent.

Yes, she knew.

Because she knew someone who experienced it. Until now, he had given up on his future and just spent his time drinking to ease his pain.

From a billionaire who would not blink even if he bought several expensive planes to someone who couldn’t even pay his electric bill in the apartment he rented.

It was miserable.

But because Riya’s relationship with him was quite bad, Riya didn’t care that much. She only heard a bit about him when she was young and had to stay with one of the relatives of Taylor Family.

Now that she’s already an adult, she technically no longer need to care about these matter at all.

“Jones Family will be fine.”

“Yeah, I trust my brother.” Amelia opened her phone and looked at their chat group. At this time, the girls were also noisy because they had heard about something from outside.

…

Fourth Floor Block A Dormitory Group Chat

Pampered baby (Amelia): Girls, did you hear anything about business?

I’m the prettiest girl (Sophia): Business? What’s that? I just need to sit at home and wait for the money to come while my brother is the one taking care of it.

I want a red packet (Claire): <stare incredulously.jpg>

I want a red packet (Claire): Are you seriously trying to annoy us? Not all of us here come from rich background like you two.

I’m the prettiest girl (Sophia): <cat stuck her tongue.jpg>

I’m the prettiest girl (Sophia): Of course not, I’m just saying the truth that I don’t usually pay any attention.

I’m the prettiest girl (Sophia): Besides, Carson Family is very big and the one doing business and will inherit the main company is my uncle and not my father. There’s no way my uncle will let my father know about any matter there.

Pampered baby (Amelia): Ugh, right, I forgot about it.

I’m a baby (Victoria): Did something happen to Jones Family? My parents are calling me, telling that they want to take my money to invest in something.

Pampered baby (Amelia): What? Your parents even want to take your money? Don’t give it to them! Damn it! You’re already an adult and separated your account. How come they’re so shameless that they want to ask for money from you?

Pampered baby (Amelia): Also, don’t answer your sister’s question or anything related to it. It’s better if you just stay far away from her and don’t let her come. When she appears in front of me in the future, I’ll smack her!

I’m a baby (Victoria): I think it’s better for you to be careful. You know how ambitious my parents are. If something did happen to Jones Family, they will definitely target you.

Pampered baby (Amelia): Definitely!

I’m a baby (Victoria): I’m not answering them. Besides, I don’t have that much money in my hands.

I want a red packet (Claire): <Sigh.jpg>

I want a red packet (Claire): I feel like I’m watching drama every single time there’s any problem with Jones Family.

Pampered baby (Amelia): Who made them all so shameless? Ugh, I want to ask my brother about it, but I think he’s not online yet.

Little Soft (Riya): You shouldn’t disturb him for the time being. At least, until he’s done with his business.

Pampered baby (Amelia): I know, I know, Little Riya. You’re here beside me, so why are you chatting here?

I want a red packet (Claire): <laugh.jpg>

I’m the prettiest girl (Sophia): I’ll try to ask about what happened to Jones Family, but I won’t promise anything.

Pampered baby (Amelia): It’s ok! <cat pawed her claw.jpg>

…

Riya looked at the window beside her.

The mist had disappeared by now.

So the strange virus is now gone?

But Riya had the faint feeling that it was not the case.

The fact that the mana concentration increased would definitely cause some changes into this world and perhaps, the world would undergo tremendous changes. And Riya could sense that the mana was still increasing slowly but surely in this world. It might not be comparable to that world but it was already several times compared to how it used to be.

Would it turn into the magic world?

Would there be many mutation for these animals and plants after the exposure to mana?

Would humans also be affected?

RIya didn’t know.

What she knew was that…

This is only the beginning.
