Runemaster in the Last Days

Samuel smiled and nodded at his father.

As expected of his father who raised him, he immediately understood what Samuel wanted to do with these things.

While the quality might not be the best, but it was definitely better than nothing. Besides, if it could help to let more people survive through this period of darkness, why not?

They could get other things from the exchange.

Everyone took what they needed.

"It's not impossible." Mr. Jones rubbed his chin and then laughed. "But I didn't expect you to calculate Mr. Black so much?"

From not willing to help him under the excuse of the other party rejecting his help before and now Samuel wanted to use the things belonged to Mr. Black to trade with other cities and gained profit.

Truly…

Black hearted businessman.

But since this is the brat whom he had raised, Mr. Jones only laughed helplessly and still accepted it calmly. He knew that while Samuel liked to try obtaining as much profit as possible, he still knew a sense of propriety.

Taking advantage when he could and take a step back when it was necessary.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Jones Corporation to last so long in the past few years under Samuel's lead.

"I didn't kill him for bringing those magic beasts to the base and it's already kind enough." Samuel rolled his eyes.

If it was just refusing his offer in the beginning, Samuel would only raise the price appropriately. But the other party had caused a lot of trouble to City A Base in the past.

For him not to kill the other party directly, he was already kind, alright?

"Kill?" Mr. Jones arched his eyebrows.

Samuel was silent and didn't answer his father directly. In that world, he had already killed many people for various reasons. After all, if the family wanted to stand firm in that brutal world, they had to be prepared to face many other families' temptation and cruelty.

He learned to kill people, in a literal sense.

"Well… the world is already like this. It's not that strange to hear, isn't it, Father?" Samuel asked back, his tone was light.

Mr. Jones looked at his son and could guess what Samuel meant. He didn't know what Samuel had experienced in that world but this brat grew up even more overnight. Because of that, Mr. Jones could only sigh in his heart.

But he also knew that it was not appropriate to ask.

Unless it was Samuel himself who wanted to talk about it, Mr. Jones had no intention of prying into Samuel's secret and past.

It was a past that he as the father didn't need to know.

"As long as you know what you're doing." Mr. Jones narrowed his eyes. "You just have to remember that there's still law and order in this world."

If he killed indiscriminately, it wouldn't be easy for others to accept it.

"Don't worry, I don't have such a hobby." Samuel rolled his eyes and then thought of something else. "I'll depart in two days along with the soldiers from the Capital City, so I'll leave the base to you again, Father."

Mr. Jones nodded. "I know. Do you really have to go?"

"If these magic beasts truly set up a nest, then there's no other choice but to go and exterminate them," Samuel said slowly, his eyes revealed traces of coldness. "I can't possibly let them increase their number on Green Planet."

"Alright."

Mr. Jones couldn't really do anything about his first son. And with Samuel's strength, he's destined to be at the forefront. Not many people would be able to walk side by side with him at this time.

Knock! Knock!

"Mr. Jones, Miss Riya is here to see your son."

"Oh?" Mr. Jones glanced at Samuel.

Samuel replied, "Let her in."

"Yes."

Riya followed the guard inside. This was the first time she came to Mr. Jones' place. Previously, the meeting was held in their study room and she didn't have to go out.

"Hey, it's already afternoon and we'll go back soon. You can just wait for us to go back," Samuel said.

"I just think it's better for you to arrange this batch first." Riya handed over a space storage scroll to Samuel.

Samuel took it and after he looked inside, he saw a large number of magic scrolls that Riya had prepared. He did give Riya a lot of paper so that she could make a lot of talisman and magic scroll, but this was too much.

"…It seems that the battle capabilities of the people in the base will be increased soon," Samuel said helplessly.

Riya chuckled. "You better not forget that you have to pay me, Senior Samuel~."

"I won't forget but I don't have that many magic beasts' cores right now. You will have to wait until I receive the payment for the parts I sold to the Capital City to get them," Samuel said with a bright smile on his face.

Riya nodded and agreed without hesitation. "I know. I'll wait."

"Good."

"Also, about the trip to the magic beasts' nest in two to three days, we will have to take detour first to collect resources from Mr. Black's warehouse. There are a lot of them that can be used for the base," Samuel continued.

He didn't plan to hide this matter from Riya since they would be traveling together. As for the arrangement for these resources, Samuel didn't think that Riya would be interested considering that she had handed over a lot of food for him.

Well, he didn't expect Riya to be so rich.

"It's fine. I think that there might be more magic beasts in that area too," Riya replied with thoughtful look.

It seemed that they would have to fight a lot.

Thinking about it, the corner of her lips curled up slightly.

Samuel saw Riya's expression and chuckled. "Indeed…"

"Do you want to bring more people?"

"Just the few who came last time should be enough."

"And then…"
