Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 423

Being provoked by his sister, Sean sneered and said, "Who said that I don't dare? Of course I dare! It's just some snacks!"

Though, their snacks these days were made out of magic beasts' meat, so it couldn't be said to be cheap. All of them were really expensive.

Considering that the two of them barely earned enough contribution points and were still living with their parents, that might cost a lot.

"Hehehe, I'm waiting to see you lose." Amelia giggled and then ran back to Arnold's side. She wanted to ask him to help her hunt more magic ants.

Sean looked at his sister speechlessly.

"You're the one who will lose."

He didn't think that his brother will be interested in the opposite sex so easily. There were so many women in the business world back then, but even if he cooperated with them on some projects, he would not cross the lines.

After all, he's so black hearted that those women would be angered to death because of his profit mind.

Sean could still remember the woman who nearly had a stroke because Samuel simply increased the profit for himself and her own share was reduced because she wanted to play some tricks and got close to him.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

But after thinking about it for a while, Sean walked towards Joan. This time Joan also came and he wanted to work together with her to hunt more magic ants.

These magic ants couldn't be eaten, but their bodies could be sent to the research institute for research.

As for why they couldn't be eaten, Samuel and Riya both said that some parts of them were corroding the little meat inside their body. It's not suitable for human's consumption but other animals could still eat them.

As for Peter….

He said that he had eaten them and ended up staying in the toilet for the entire day, so they better not repeat it.

When Samuel and Riya heard Peter's words, the two of them were really speechless.

This man really dared to eat anything.

…

Riya's side

While the others were busy hunting the magic ant, Riya and Samuel hastened their pace and made their way out of the nest.

"Do you have any clear direction to where you want to go?" Samuel asked. "I don't know how deep the crack is, so you might want to keep a map."

"Don't worry, I won't be the scout," Riya replied and took out a few jade dolls.

Samuel: "…"

He looked at the few jade dolls that Riya held and had the feeling that she was using almost all the jade that he gave to her in order to make these jade dolls. But considering that the jade dolls were really good and useful, it seemed to be a good investment.

"We're here."

There was a crack entrance not far from the magic ant's nest, so the two of made their way inside and jumped down.

"Of course, not all rune masters can do this," Riya said as she looked at the runes in front of her. "Alright, you can get closer and it will not attack you unless you actively attack me."

Hearing this, Samuel walked to Riya's side without hesitation.

"You're not afraid that I'll harm you?" Riya was surprised by his decisiveness. If she had lied, then he would have gotten hurt when he got close to her.

"I trust you."

Riya blinked her eyes and looked at Samuel beside her and smiled faintly. "I feel that it sounds so easy when you say it that way, but I know that it's not that way at all."

Samuel didn't answer and simply looked at Riya beside him.

"Are you afraid?"

"Yes, I am." Riya looked at the distance, not looking in Samuel's direction at all. "I'm afraid that if I trust others when I'm not strong enough, I'll end up getting hurt."

Because she knew very well that those people who had seen her ability only wanted to take advantage of her.

In that world, she had seen humanity's ugliness very clearly.

She didn't want to see it again.

Some people simply couldn't stand being tested by others and Riya knew herself that she would only get hurt if she expected too much.

"Before knowing that you're a returnees and the world changed, I was prepared to live in seclusion."
