Runemaster in the Last Days

Knock! Knock!

"Enter." Mr. Jones saw that Ruben finally returned and heaved a sigh of relief.

With Ruben around, most works could be done quickly and he was relieved to know that Ruben was loyal to Samuel.

At the very least, this meant that he didn't need to worry so much about many things.

"Mr. Jones, the magicians from the Magic Association have made the statement that they will not interfere with the affairs of City A Base anymore," Ruben gave a report with a smile.

The secretary glanced at Ruben and wanted to roll his eyes. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Not interfere?

After being beaten up by Amelia, these magicians from the Magic Association might want to pack up and go back as soon as possible.

Not only would they not interfere, but they might not even want to step on City A Base again in their entire life.

Tsk, tsk.

What a pitiful group of magicians from the Magic Association.

Then again, if these magicians from the Magic Association wanted to make trouble in the first place, they had to be prepared to be beaten up in reverse.

"That's good," Mr. Jones said with a smile.

"Also, Minister A had already sent his people to drag the people who roam around the areas around the passage back," Ruben said with a faint smile.

After he finished dealing with those magicians from the Magic Association who were crying, someone also contacted him. Since Ruben used to work for Samuel, he also had the contact information of the secretary of some higher ups.

These people didn't usually contact him.

After all, if there were nothing important, they would not disturb Ruben.

Ruben was already very busy with his study, work, and so on that was piled up on his table. Sometimes, Ruben even wondered whether it would be possible for him to retire in advance and focused on learning to be a magician and rune masters.

After all, the affairs as Mr. Jones' secretary seemed to be never-ending.

It was really tiring.

Unfortunately, Ruben also knew that Mr. Jones will never let him go without finding a suitable successor.

*sigh*

Ruben estimated that he would have to work hard for at least a few more years before he could officially retire.

Anyway, the message from the higher ups was extremely simple.

They had already pulled the annoying people who went to search the area where the passage used to be.

Ruben knew what they wanted to do.

It was an open secret for many people in the entire world and it was estimated that many people had long known about this.

They just didn't want to discuss such a disgusting matter openly.

Perhaps only the commoners would not know about such a secret.

After all, they didn't have the channel and possibly also didn't care too much about this matter since it didn't involve them.

"It's good." Mr. Jones's eyes lit up.

He didn't expect that these people would give up so quickly.

"Did you do something?" The secretary asked Ruben curiously. He didn't think that those people were the type to give up so easily.

"I don't have the chance to do anything." Ruben shook his head. While he did want to showcase his prowess a bit to deter them, he realized that he didn't really need to do anything.

"So…"

"There's still a returnee on Continent Z," Ruben reminded.

With Ruben's words, the other two people instantly understood why these people choose to back down now.

Because they didn't want someone to turn against them.

While the returnees might not be that important for them anymore after getting so much in the past few years along with the fact that they had also grown stronger, the higher ups on Continent Z realized that they couldn't continue.

Unless they truly wanted to push Peter away….

Even though Peter seemed to be alone right now, but the truth is, he was backed with an entire organization that was willing to do his bidding should he give the order.

The entire Martial Arts Association was basically listening to Peter.

Mr. Jones smiled. "He's a good and loyal man."

Even though their relationship with Peter was barely average, but Peter was still willing to stand up for them.

It was really rare.

Ruben nodded.

He had the feeling that there might be other stories between them that he was not aware of, but he had no intention to pry.

After all, it was normal for some people to have their own secrets.

"By the way, since you're back, help me to sort these, Ruben."

Ruben: "…."

He had completely forgotten that if he came back, Mr. Jones will definitely tossed a large amount of work for him again.

Seeing the sympathetic look from the secretary, Ruben only sighed and smiled bitterly.

Time to go back to work.

…

Continent Z, Peter's side

To be honest, Peter didn't actually do much.

After realizing that he was basically left alone among the returnee from Continent Z, it would be a lie if he didn't feel at loss for a few minutes.

The magic beasts around the passage's area couldn't pose any threat to him.

So Peter simply dealt with them easily.

After he was done, he went back to the Martial Arts Association with Governor Zachary and went to rest.

It was really tiring.

He slept for nearly 24 hours before he felt more refreshed and started to think about his future on the Green Planet.

That's when a member of the Martial Arts Association came to report to him about the movement of the higher ups.

"They're searching for something on the areas where the passage was located before?" Peter asked with strange expression.

There are nothing left after the passage disappeared.

And Riya had already explained everything clearly to Peter that even with his not so smart brain, he knew that they would not be able to come back to the Green Planet again for a long period of time.

Perhaps years, decades, or even centuries.

Considering the difference in strength and lifespan, it was not impossible for them all to die far earlier before those people could figure out a way to go back.
