"While we have no idea why they have to stay in the crack to train for a long period of time, but their return is something that we likes. With them coming out, this meant that the number of magic beasts will continue to decrease and we can live a normal life again."
"That…" Sophia wanted to speak but Stephen pulled her hand from behind.
The vendor didn't seem to realize that Sophia was planning to interrupt his words as he continued, "With most of them staying in Continent Z, we can be reassured that the world will be safe because of them~."
Sophia's face scrunched.
The first part of the vendor's words were nothing much and she had already seen it from the website and all.
After all, the higher ups had no other choice but to reveal many things about the returnees. There were many people who have watched how these returnees performed during the magic beasts' tide in the past.
At that time, many people spread stories about them.
The higher ups couldn't even cover it up even if they wanted to.
So all they could do was to build a good image for them and made sure that the people knew about the returnees' existence. This will also allow them to be able to control the public opinion and lead them to think that these returnees were here to help them and all.
"Well, there are a few more customers over there," Stephen finally interrupted.
"Ah, you're right."
The vendor started to serve the other customers while Stephen pulled Sophia to leave the place.
"Brother, why did you stop me?" Sophia asked after they had come out.
She was still feeling somewhat indignant when she thought about the vendor's latter's words. It seemed as if he was treating Riya and the others as protector of the Green Planet and that whatever they did was taken for granted.
As their friends, Sophia is really angry.
Even if she's not their friends, she knew very well that the real intention of the higher ups to release the news of Riya and the others should be nothing good.
While their real identity was not announced for the sake of their safety…
But many people had long known their identity.
Samuel and Dina were too famous while Peter had long make a move in front of many people because of his position with the Martial Arts Association. Only Riya remained relatively unknown because she rarely went around.
Besides, Riya's favorite clothes was the long mage robe with hood, which could help to cover up her appearance to a certain degree.
In this way, Riya's identity was the one most concealed.
Though, the higher ups and many people in City A Base should have long known about her as it was impossible to hide from them.
What spread out was the fact that there were some returnees who were fighting for them against the magic beasts. These returnees were also very powerful and that the practice they spread out could allow many people to become as strong as them.
In this way, many people practiced hard in order to get stronger.
Of course, it was absolutely impossible for everyone to become so strong like the returnees, but it was a good dream to have.
"What do you want to tell them? That these returnees are actually ordinary people and shouldn't be worshiped so much?" Stephen asked back.
He could see his sister's expression and could guess what she wanted to say.
