Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Promise
Jade?

“That will naturally the place where you can just buy the raw jade. What’s that called, stone gambling?” Amelia tilted her head. She still knew a bit because it was something they did do from time to time.

But Jones Family didn’t focus on jewelry and only have a small branch in this field, so Amelia was not very clear.

“Yes, it’s stone gambling. I have jewelry store and I usually accompany my brother when I want to replenish the raw materials.” Sophia grinned. “Why do you suddenly ask about it? Do you want to try gambling for jade? The possibility of obtaining a jade in the stone gambling was quite low and there are not many stone gambling place in our continent.”

Riya smiled.

It was low for others but not low for her. Jade was a good container for Mana, which was better to be used for formation and even some talisman. She had made a plate formation, but because it was using stone and not jade, the mana was not very smooth.

If she could have a good jade, it would be a different story.

The problem was that the price of jade could be in millions and Riya’s small pocket was definitely not enough to buy. She had spent a lot of money to build her farm and there was barely one million left, which she planned to use after her graduation.

Since she’s a magician, she would be able to sense the jade better because better jade would contain higher amount of Mana.

“I want to try. It should be cheaper to gamble for stone that might contain jade rather than buying a jade, right?”

“Yes.” Amelia agreed.

“Alright, we’re going to go tomorrow!”

“Tomorrow?” Riya was stunned.

“I don’t have time tomorrow. Three days later.” Sophia showed three fingers. “There will be a large batch of raw stones delivered in three days to the branch where I usually pick stones. Depending on the area, the price is different.”

“Okay.” Riya thought about raising money but then again, she didn’t know how to earn money.

Poor Riya: “…”

Knock! Knock!

“Yes, who is it?” Amelia walked to the door and opened it. In front of her was a young man in his twenties who looked quite similar to Sophia.

“Brother?” Sophia was surprised. “Why are you here?”

“Of course that’s because it’s almost 8 PM.” Sophia’s brother, Stephen, looked at his sister before turning his head to look at the others. “Sorry, my sister can be a hassle to deal with.”

“It’s nothing.”

“We’ve gotten used to it.”

“She’s good.”

Sophia pouted but she didn’t make more trouble. She liked partying outside and also went to various places, but her brother will always pick her up if she was in some public places at 8 PM.

They didn’t want anything to happen to their family’s girl.

Stephen nodded and looked at Sophia. “There’s a woman making trouble outside. I have called the police station to send them and blacklist them from going here.”

Woman making trouble?

They all thought of Ciera, who just clashed with Riya before and felt a bit strange.

“You call police, Brother?”

“Yes? Is there anything wrong?”

“No.” Sophia looked at Riya helplessly. “If they make trouble to you because of this, just call me.”

“Ok.” Riya nodded.

Small matters become big when it involved the police. Riya also knew that the Taylor Family might want to make her the scapegoat again for their beloved daughter.

It was really annoying.

Thinking that she had already offended them so much, Riya chose to ignore this matter for now. Anyway, they will come sooner or later with how much Ciera kept on making trouble for her.

When she finally found jobs, who could say for sure that they wouldn’t come to trouble her?

Riya knew that the Taylor Family had that power.

That was what made her quite annoyed right now.

“I’m going back now. See you later in three days!” Sophia waved her hand excitedly and followed her brother home.

Ruby looked at the others and nodded. “I’m going back to the lab. There are still some things that I need to do.”

“This late?” Amelia was shocked.

“I’m not like you who had nothing to do.” Ruby shook her head.

“How about your family members?”

Ruby frowned when she thought of those people. “It’s fine, they’re just my uncles and aunts. They wouldn’t care so much about me.”

Her parents died not long after she started university, so she was mostly alone. Her uncles and aunt were kind enough to care for her, but they were not her closest family members, so Ruby didn’t want to trouble them if it was unnecessary.

“Alright then.” Amelia nodded. “In that case, I’ll also call for my driver to go back~.”

Riya nodded.

She looked at the road and thought of the university, which was not far from here. She could just take a walk home.

“Mel,” A man called from the front.

“Brother?” Amelia looked at the person in front of her, feeling a bit unreal. When did her brother start to care when she was partying outside?
