Screams and yells could be heard from outside.
Ruby stood beside the window, watching the guards tossed them out and there was no emotional fluctuation in her heart.
Perhaps compared to her friends, she was the one with the coldest and cruelest heart.
Because once soone dared to offend her, then she would never be willing to let them got close to her in the slightest bit. But she will not try to make trouble for them first because such a thing was really unnecessary.
It was just…
She didn't want to be dragged down by her uncaring family mbers who only cared for profit and would push her down when things beco difficult.
This action might look cold blooded.
But Ruby didn't want to have any interaction with her family mbers anymore.
She will fulfill her obligation to provide for them, but that would be all.
She had no interest in deepening the relationship or destroying the already fragile relationship either.
"They wouldn't be able to co here anymore." Ruben ca in while holding his phone. After the eting with Samuel and the others, he received ssage from Ruby, asking for help.
The guards and the staffs in the research institute wouldn't be able to completely restrain her greedy family mbers, so she had to look for soone else who could possibly do this. And Ruben's na ca to her mind, especially after Alia joked about him so ti ago.
He's really capable.
And it was also because of this that Ruby trusted the other party.
"Thank you very much," Ruby said sincerely.
She didn't actually have that much power and everything ca from her status as researcher and friends of Alia and Riya. Because she didn't want to lag behind them so much, she had to work hard on the field that she's good at and also liked very much.
If she was asked to follow them as a magician, magic warrior, or the likes, Ruby was absolutely sure that she wouldn't be able to catch up with them.
She was really bad at sports.
And when she ditated, Ruby took an extrely long ti to be able to detect the mana's presence.
Through these things, Ruby was sure that her own talent was actually not very good and it would take her a long ti to catch up with the others.
So she chose to focus on research.
In the first place, she liked doing research so much that she didn't have many friends around her. Because they felt that they couldn't talk with her and from ti to ti, she would forget that those people couldn't understand what she was talking about and continued to talk about her research result.
Before she knew it, she was often alone.
It was only after university that she t with Sophia, who was a proud young miss from the Carson Family and made trouble.
Well, her first impression of the other party was how lazy she is.
But Sophia could be said to be the first person who would still accompany her and tried to listen to her 'lecture' even if she ended up falling asleep in the middle.
Through Sophia, Ruby was able to et with Alia, Riya, and the other two.
And now, she could et with many other powerful and capable people.
Ruby felt that she's really lucky.
So she will work even harder and create more useful things for the sake of their future.
"It's nothing much." Ruben chuckled. "And my teacher told that you have so runes I need to make?"
"Ah, right. Here you go."
"Hmm, it's not that difficult, but it'll cost a lot of mana, so I can't make them all at the sa ti. How about if I make them based on priority?"
"Sure, can you tell how do you plan to arrange it?"
Without the need to worry about her family mbers anymore, Ruby started her working mode and discussed the runes matter with Ruben.
He was also patiently explaining the runes to Ruby.
After all, he was also a rune master in his side profession while his main profession is a magician.
In this conversation, Ruben also managed to know what Ruby was planning to make.
This made him very interested.
…
Samuel and Riya's side
The two people left the research institute and headed to mr. Jones' office. To be honest, Samuel had already explained to his father that they wouldn't be working today, but it seed that there was an ergency.
Otherwise, Mr. Jones wouldn't interrupt them.
After all, he himself knew that he should let the two of them spent more ti with each other so that they could cultivate better relationship.
Besides, being a light bulb didn't seem to be a good idea.
"Father," Samuel called out when he ca into his father's office. There was only his father's assistant there. "Where's my father?"
"Mr. Jones is in the conference hall."
Samuel nodded and held Riya's hand as he brought her to the conference room not far form his father's office. Through his senses, he could already sense that there were a lot of people there.
So people from the military and officials ca here.
They should have arrived along with the researchers who ca from the Capital City so ti ago.
Knock! Knock!
"Father."
"Samuel, Riya, you two are here." Mr. Jones looked relieved when he saw the two of them.
They were basically the real backbone of the entire City A Base and without them, Mr. Jones wouldn't be able to do anything.
"Is there anything wrong?" Samuel asked with frown.
"There are request from Continent W and Continent Y. The one from Continent W requested for the returnees to cooperate together and explore the crack on their side. Their returnees are not very convenient in terms of blocking the attack," Mr. Jones said euphemistically.
In fact, it was not really a secret that the returnee from Continent W were an alchemist and an archer magic warrior.
