Runemaster in the Last Days

Girlfriend?

The two of them were stunned and both wanted to refute at the same time, but the next moment, they didn't know what to say.

"No, we're not," Samuel finally said after a moment of hesitation. He looked at Jonas and asked, "And why are you here instead of accompanying your Master, Jonas?"

Jonas smiled faintly. "Ms. Dina is busy with her recovery and I can't disturb her."

Recovery?

Riya looked at Jonas and then at Samuel. "Is the battle so difficult?"

If even Dina had to close down the door to recover, this meant that the battle should have been very fierce. Otherwise, there was no need for these returnees to make a move until they were completely exhausted.

"It's still within our limit." Samuel looked at Jonas deeply. "I don't think that you should disturb us at this time, Mr. Jonas."

"Oh? I'm sure that the others have the same opinion as me about your behavior this time, Mr. Samuel." Jonas glanced at the side.

Samuel turned his head and saw Ruth standing there. But unlike Jonas who was blocking the way, she was looking towards Riya beside him.

And Riya was not afraid of being looked at.

She had never met with these geniuses head on.

These people were all living under the limelight while she was staying in the shadow and didn't usually show her faces in public. So while the other party might be able to sense that her magic shouldn't be weak, she should not recognize her identity.

Recognize her identity….

Riya blinked her eyes and felt that it didn't seem to matter that much even if the other party were to know her.

She was not famous in that world.

And in this world, her identity couldn't really be used to bind and restrain her. Because the people whom she cared for were all strong people and her so called family members were people whom Riya didn't want to see in her entire life.

"I'm just here to take a look," Ruth said and then tilted her head. "I didn't expect to see that you can also have a girlfriend."

Samuel has a black line on his forehead.

He looked at Ruth unkindly. "Don't meddle in my personal business. You should think about your own affair."

"I know."

Ruth glanced at Riya but she could not recognize the other party. After looking once, she turned around and left without greeting Riya.

There was no need to greet people whom she didn't know.

Jonas watched Ruth's performance and nodded in his mind. It seemed that she should not know the woman whom Samuel brought today.

While Jonas was curious, but he also knew that he didn't have the ability to investigate this kind of thing.

It would be better to leave this matter be.

"In that case, I'll go back first, Mr. Samuel."

With that, Jones also left.

Samuel scoffed as he walked in the direction of the guest house. "Don't talk to them too much. They all full of calculation."

Riya blinked her eyes and then smiled faintly. "They just want to know my identity, aren't they?"

For her to come to City J Base in the middle of the night alone, it would definitely attract their attention. They all knew that there was a rune master in City J Base with some relationship with Samuel, but they didn't know who it is.

Now that Riya appeared here, they were naturally curious.

But Samuel didn't plan to let them know Riya's real identity.

It was also because of this that he had been confronting them.

"Yes."

"I see." Riya sighed deeply and then looked at the sky. After a moment, she frowned because she could feel violent mana fluctuation. "Samuel, do you sense that?"

"Someone is fighting." Samuel narrowed his eyes.

If it was other people who were fighting, Samuel would not care in the slightest bit. But just now, he could clearly sense that the mana fluctuation came from the guest houses, which meant that it might be one of their companions who were fighting.

In this case, it was impossible for Samuel to ignore it in the slightest bit.

Swish!

The two of them ran back and Riya immediately used her runes to cover up her figure.

But deep in her heart, Riya knew very well that it would be more and more impossible for her to hide her identity.

Should she stand under the light once more?

…

Bang!

At this moment, the guest house was in disarray and several people were looking at the intruder who came.

To be exact, Amelia and Sophia were looking at the intruder because the two of them were the ones being attacked. The men were living in different place and didn't have time to react when the attack was launched.

"Careful Sophia!"

"I'm fine!" Sophia looked at Melly, who had stood in front of her to guard her and took a deep breath. Her reaction speed was not fast enough even though she was already a rank 3 magic warrior.

After all, Sophia's improvement of her rank was for the sake of her magic beast's contract rather than for herself. So her fighting skills could be said to be the poorest.

Thankfully, Sophia was used to have Melly accompanied her outside.

Otherwise, she would have nothing to defend herself.

"You…" Amelia looked at the dust that dissipated in front of her. Her pupil shrank and her body trembled as she recognized the figure in front of her.

The familiar face that looked a bit similar to her was now dressed in black and red clothes. There was faint red markings like tattoo on the woman's face and arm, which made her look a bit scary.

The two people could feel the intense mana fluctuation from those markings, which meant that it was not drawn randomly. It might have helped the mana to flow easier in her body.

She's dangerous.

This is what their instinct was telling them.

"Victoria!"
