Runemaster in the Last Days

This made Sophia somewhat at loss.

People often felt imbalance because of comparison and Sophia was clearly feeling it deeply right now. She really wished that she could also become stronger but with her personality that's even lazier than Amelia, Sophia really doubted that it would be possible for her to do so.

Right now, with her only having to take care of Melly, Sophia felt that this was already the best.

Her future achievement basically depended on how high Melly could reach in the future.

"I really hope you can become more powerful, Melly." Sophia patted Melly's head as she walked back to the Carson Family Residence. As she walked, she saw two people walking in the distance and her footsteps stopped for a moment.

'Is that… Ciera?'

Ciera's face is not a stranger for them.

After all, she often came to see Riya and made trouble for the other party.

It was to the point that they felt she was as annoying as Valeria who came to bother them some time ago.

It has been some time since the last time she saw Ciera, so Sophia had completely forgotten about her. But now that she saw Ciera again, Sophia felt a bit strange. Did Ciera also enter City A Base?

She planned to ask her brother later.

…

Ciera and Mr. Taylor has been in City A Base for a few days.

Due to Ciera's condition that needed medical attention, Mr. Taylor had to shoulder a lot of debt. Because City A Base couldn't afford to give them free treatment and they were basically selling their soul at this point.

Because they worked day and night to get more money, but they couldn't even live well because most of the payment would be used to repay their debt automatically.

It only took a few days for Ciera to collapse.

She couldn't stand it anymore!

Having to work from morning to night outside to gather various resources, Ciera was so tired that she just wanted to sleep. But without enough money, it was impossible for her to pay back the money that she owed.

This made her feel very resentful.

If only Riya had agreed to donate her kidney in the past before the earthquake happened and so on, Ciera would be able to live comfortably in the last days. There was no need for he to worry about the huge debt on her head and the fact that she has to work hard to be able to feed herself.

But now, it was impossible for her to live well.

She still has to go to the hospital and continue her treatment. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to survive.

Her condition was bad and her father couldn't work much.

He has been trying to find some business opportunity but without any start up funds, it was almost impossible for Mr. Taylor to cover up her subsequent medical fees. The only good thing was that she managed to find some good thing from scavenging around, which reduced her debt somewhat.

But the amount was still very large.

It was already hundreds of contribution points and if she still needed to go to the hospital, the debt would definitely increase even more.

Life was really difficult for Ciera.

"Father, you want to approach the higher ups in City A Base?" Ciera asked in disbelief. Even if these people were really in power, but it would be difficult for them to listen to the words of someone who was so far away from the management like Mr. Taylor.

"If I don't move fast, it'll be too late." Mr. Taylor was leaning on the wall to rest. The room was really narrow but this was the only private place that he could use to meet with his daughter to discuss some things.

After a few days in City A Base, Mr. Taylor was frightened by the exceptionally fast progress of the city. The construction and expansion were going on very quickly to the point that it was impossible not to see.

Every single day, there would be new buildings erected and the place where they were staying right now was officially the worst and furthest away.

Because the other expansion was in other directions.

Not only that, the ruins outside City A Base were cleaned up one after another and then some things would be rebuild.

City A Base seemed as if it was forming rings after rings and those who came later could only live at the outer edge.

Mr. Taylor was both lucky and unlucky.

If he had come even later, they might not even be able to live here and would be assigned worse location.

And he's also unwilling to accept this situation.

Many people could live far better than him.

Why not him?

But it would be difficult for him to change his fate, so he turned to his daughter, as he wanted her to be the one to approach them.

"But…"

"Do you want to live to pay debts for the rest of your life?" Mr. Taylor asked simply.

Ciera bit her lips and she looked at Mr. Taylor as if saying, 'Of course not.'

"In that case, listen to me and…"

…

Some people have their own calculations and so on.

Samuel could naturally guess that they might feel imbalance in their hearts when they saw the situation in City A Base.

But it was impossible for him not to give preferential treatment to those who arrived in City A Base earlier. After all, these people were 'lucky' and chose this base early on. It was also because of their decision that they were able to live in better place.

Other people could only follow them.

After talking with the government, Samuel discussed with his father about the weapon's parts. After knowing that it was ready, he planned to bring these to Riya.

'She seems to have so much projects.'

From plants, weapon parts, and then there were also many magic beasts' corpses and magic cores.
