Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Peter
Amelia laughed. “It’s fine. And if you truly have troubles because of Jones Family, tell me. I wouldn’t let her cause troubles for you, no matter what the reason for it is.”

“Okay.” Riya nodded sensibly.

The girls chatted happily and no longer talked about Valeria anymore. Rather than talking about a person whom they disliked, wouldn’t it be better to talk about topics that they liked instead?

There were many things that they also wanted to talk about at this time after not able to meet for a long time.

Amelia was mostly busy with her own activity.

Sophia was doing her practice in the clinic to take care of the animals sent there every single day. She rarely had time off if not because of her asking her brother to ask for a leave.

*whisper* *whisper*

“Is there someone coming?” Amelia’s hearing was the most sensitive to gossip. When she saw several people were talking with each other, she had the faint feeling that there might be something that happened over there but was not known.

“Maybe?” Sophia was not sure and turned to look at the manager.

The manager appeared and shook his head at Sophia, showing that he also didn’t know. Perhaps, it was someone who come temporarily.

But when the few people appeared, Sophia and Amelia both showed the look of surprise.

“Governor Zachary,” the two of them called out.

Governor Zachary?

Riya had to turn her brain to remember that the current governor in their city was indeed named Zachary. However, she didn’t know how he looked like because she didn’t read newspaper…

*cough*

However, she still a polite expression on her face. The so called polite was that of a faint smile since Riya really didn’t know what kind of expression she should have on her face when she was meeting the governor for the first time in her life.

“You two are here, Miss Jones, Miss Carson.” Governor Zachary smiled when he saw the two of them.

“I still own part of this store.” Sophia smiled. “Are you planning to try your luck, Governor Zachary?”

“Ah, no. I’m here to accompany him.” Governor Zachary pointed to the man not far behind him.

The man looked like to be in his twenties and dressed neatly in t shirt and long pants. It was more casual than formal. He was looking around casually and it seemed to be his first time coming to this kind of place.

Hearing Governor Zachary called him, the man turned around and smiled politely. “Hello, my name is Peter.”

“Hello, Mr. Peter.” The two of them greeted politely.

Riya was standing a distance away behind them, but she could still hear their conversation. Her pupils dilated slightly when she heard him mentioned his name but there was no other obvious reaction from her.

Peter.

The Mad Demon?

She tried her best to look at Peter inadvertently and her heart sunk when she saw his face clearly and sense the faint fluctuation of mana around him. Even if it was not very obvious, he didn’t learn any skill to hide it so far because it was too low, so she could still sense it.

‘Peter, the famous barbarian who fought his way up through countless duels.’

He was famous.

Very famous, in fact.

A warrior and magician world didn’t mean that everyone would be locked in their room to meditate. Instead, there were still people who were busy gossiping on their free time and thanks to them, Riya had obtained many valuable information.

Among them, Peter was one of the topic that was discussed frequently.

The topic ranged between whom he had beaten and which famous genius would be his next stepping stone.

He was a fighting maniac.

Everyone called him as the Mad Demon because he liked to challenge other people so much. No matter whether they were stronger or weaker, he would challenge them altogether.

Riya moved her eyes away from Peter to the rocks beside her. She was trying her best to calm down.

Be it in that world or in this world, Peter shouldn’t know her. He was too busy challenging so many people that there was no time for him to care for a no name like her. Besides, there was no way Peter would check everyone to see if they were a warrior or not.

Peter had no talent for magic, which was why he become pure body warrior. Moreover, he was not an ordinary warrior but a warrior who was far stronger than the ordinary warrior due to their training, which was why they were usually called as barbarian. He focused purely on body skills and known to be very strong.

In that world, Riya once met Peter when he was fighting against other warriors. She watched his battle up close and knew how terrifying this ordinary looking person in front of her could be.
