Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 962

Stephen patted Sophia's head as he continued to walk. "No matter how much they work hard behind the scene… all the people see will be nothing more than the result they have shown. Because this is a world where result is the most important."

No one cared about how much they have worked behind the scene.

Even if this was not the result that they actually wanted, but since they managed to achieve so much in this area… the people will only praise them in this area too.

Stephen knew this feeling very well.

Because he never planned on succeeding when he was young.

He felt that it would be better if he had achieved average result so that he could stay more with his family members without attracting his grandfather's attention.

Unfortunately, his attempt backfire.

Stephen was careless on one occasion and his grandfather's aide who was extremely sharp, noticed that he hid his real capabilities. Because of that, he reported to his grandfather and ever since then, Stephen had to work much harder for the Carson Family.

He didn't want any of that.

What he wanted was to spend more time with his family members and played around with his sister.

That's what he longed for.

But their grandfather didn't allow it.

He wanted to use him to grind his other grandsons and also to create more value for the Carson Family.

Perhaps if he had been more careful in front of other people, their grandfather will never know about his real talent.

But there was nothing that could be done.

Stephen could only walked on the path that his grandfather had laid for him.

So he swore to become strong enough and spend as much time as possible with his sister when it was possible. Because he didn't want to lose his family members.

It was also because of this that their grandfather knew that he only needed to control Sophia to make Stephen willing to listen to his words.

Stephen disliked those days.

But he still followed and performed well, learning everything that was thrown to him while building his own power.

He was planning to ensure that he had enough power on his own so that he could protect the people whom he truly cared for.

If it was not because of the earthquake…

*sigh*

"No matter whether these returnees want to be famous or not… it's a fact that they have saved most people from the magic beasts' tide last year. And the higher ups are using this chance to shape them into the image that they truly want," Stephen said calmly.

He knew very well that these politicians were only using the returnees because the situation forced them to do this.

If it was possible, Stephen was sure that the higher ups didn't want to.

But they couldn't not to.
