Runemaster in the Last Days

Mr. Black saw Samuel's leisure look and knew that Samuel should have known that he didn't have that ability!

If he could go on his own, he would have done that a long time ago.

Unfortunately, he didn't have such ability.

So he came looking for Samuel in hope that he would be able to get some bargain. Even if he had to give out some of the resources, it was better than not having any at all.

But now, Samuel clearly wanted so much.

"You're such a greedy b*stard."

Samuel chuckled. "Thank you for your compliment."

Mr. Black didn't answer.

"Also, I think it's better for you to know that even if you don't take it now, there might be someone else who will take it. After all, the walls of those warehouse are not designed to be able to withstand the attack of a magic warrior," Samuel added calmly.

Mr. Black felt his breath stagnated.

How could he not know that Samuel is threatening him?

But what could he do?

"If you don't choose to agree, I might raise the percentage…"

"Alright, I agree. I'll give the password and I want to join with your team when you're going," Mr. Black quickly said.

He was sure that Samuel could really do that.

This man is truly a black hearted businessman. He knew very well what they needed and would make sure that the price he offered were something that they could accept but it would give him a lot of benefit.

Mr. Black was busy cursing Samuel in his heart.

It was truly his bad luck to meet Samuel in this life.

He didn't know how many times he regretted having a villa here and not move to other cities in the beginning. At the very least, those annoying higher ups would still give him some face because of his past or the resources in his hand.

But Samuel didn't care about any of this…

No, it was more like Samuel always wanted to have the initiative in his hand and would not let others negotiate with him so easily.

Very ruthless.

Tsk.

"No." Samuel shook his head. "With your weak strength, you'll only hold me back. I don't want to be responsible for your safety."

It was enough for him to experience the task of bringing those weak scientist and researchers. He didn't want to repeat it again int his life.

Moreover, Samuel also found out through Mr. A that the higher ups were divided into two factions. It seemed that even if their lives were difficult, there were still people who were fighting for power over there.

It was really ridiculous.

But Samuel said nothing.

Those were not his business and Samuel refused to be used as a pawn by those people. If they wanted to use him, he would disagree and refuse to follow whatever they asked him to do.

Thankfully, Mr. A was not someone who would do something like that.

"That… what if you take more…"

"Do you really think your resources are very valuable, Mr. Black? City A Base had just received a large donation of food and supplies," Samuel said slowly. He thought for a moment and then added, "If you don't believe it, you can check the canteen because there are new menus there."

Mr. Black took a deep breath.

Who's so stupid that they would donate so much food these days?

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute but seeing Samuel's calm eyes, Mr. Black had the feeling that he would truly be able to see it if he head to the canteen.

This made him feel a bit irritable.

"I…"

"If you don't want to agree, you're free to leave."

In the end, under Samuel's strong methods, Mr. Black had to agree and didn't follow Samuel. This made him very resentful and he really wanted to go and follow Samuel quietly.

But at the same time, Mr. Black knew very well that his safety would not be guaranteed.

It's dangerous out there.

Bang!

Samuel shook his head as he saw the door closed. "The resources given by Riya is more than enough to fulfill the need of City A Base. At least, until the farm stabilize and the source of food will be secured."

If it was before, he might be somewhat tempted with Mr. Black's offer. Because there were indeed a lot of people in City A Base and he had to figure out how to feed all of them one way or another.

The food planted grown wouldn't be enough for the time and various industries had only started recovery.

Moreover, City A Base didn't ask for resources from the people who came.

They only asked for identity confirmation.

Thus, it was not that easy for Samuel and Mr. Jones to get a lot of resources to feed so many people in City A Base.

"I heard." Mr. Jones nodded. He understood that his son was saying this to explain why he was so tough in front of Mr. Black just now. After all, in normal situation, the amount of resources that Mr. Black offered would be a timely help for them.

"And there's no guarantee the quality of these food by now." Samuel shook his head and sighed.

The worldwide earthquake had destroyed most of the systems and various devices. This should also include the cooling device for those warehouse.

Some remained intact, but for how long?

Without enough power, it would not last that long and would eventually be wasted. Samuel didn't want to do useless work like this.

"Do you want to use it to trade with other cities?" Mr. Jones narrowed his eyes. He could guess that Samuel didn't really think highly of those food and City A Base was not exactly lacking in food right now.

The charity that Riya gave to them was a bit too much.

So much that even Mr. Jones doubted that Riya had a granary full of food.

But after seeing the space storage scroll, he calmed down.
