Runemaster in the Last Days
Chapter 504 - 504: Setting up an Example

Suffocation.

It was hard to breath.

These people all looked at Samuel and fear crept out in their hearts.

Most of them were only ordinary people and they didn't have any strength or ability that was beyond normal humans. Some of them truly didn't have the talent but some others were simply too lazy.

They gathered in front of the building, hoping that they could change their fate and made their lives easier through this demonstration.

But…

Samuel didn't care about them at all.

He saw that none of them dared to move under his suppression and he snorted. "City A Base will help to protect the people and provide living place. But if you want anything, you have to follow the rules and regulation. If you think that you can coerce the higher ups to follow your wishes, who do you think you are?

The world has changed and now, those who could speak are those who had enough power. If you want to change the laws, show to me that you have the strength to back it up because any change has to be followed by countless other changes."

Samuel swept his gaze across the people and said coldly, "As of now, you're nothing more than a group of ungrateful people who didn't know how to feel thankful for what you have. If you truly want more resources, fight for it with your own strength rather than making trouble everywhere and think that if you do so, you can coerce others to follow your wishes."

"The base is built for the sake of preserving humanity and to let ordinary people survive. But if you all become a white eyed wolf who only know how to bite the hands that feed you, why should I keep you here?"

"Ridiculous."

The last word made the people felt that their heart has been stabbed.

They were unwilling to be called that way by Samuel and glared in his direction, but the sense of suppression emitted by Samuel was still exceptionally strong.

No one dared to look up.

Samuel retracted the killing intent and looked at commander nearby and said, "If there's anyone who make trouble again, kick them out of City A Base. Anyway, the road is almost done and they could make their way to other bases. I'm sure that if they think City A Base is not accommodating enough, they can find a better place in other bases."

"Yes, Mr. Samuel."

The commander bowed politely, not daring to refuse at all.

Right now, the aura that Samuel emitted was simply too scary and it made people unwilling to look in his direction.

Even though Samuel had already retracted the killing intent, the image that he showed just now has been imprinted deep in their minds.

Many of them were terrified.

Samuel didn't pay attention to this matter and walked back to his father's office.

"Everyone disperse!"

This time, most of them didn't dare to make trouble anymore.

But some of them were still unconvinced and yelled, which the commander directly gave order to kick out of the base.

Seeing the military's tough stance, it did scare most people.

Only the few stubborn ones were threatening that they would make report to the higher ups and let them be punished.

'If the higher ups can control these returnees, the situation would not be like this.' The commander sneered at these people's threat.

What a joke.

Those who were of high position knew very well that no weapon that the higher ups mastered could threaten these people. Unless they wanted to threaten using their family members, but at that time, these returnees might go crazy.

Besides, not all of them have family members whom they cared for.

Some of them were already orphans, some others have estranged relationship with their family, and so on.

So it was simply impossible to control them.

And the higher ups didn't want to make enemies out of these returnees either. Even if their army had already become stronger, but these returnee's strength was not weak either.

In fact, they seemed to be far stronger than them.

Trying to catch up with these people had already caused despair for most people in the entire world.

…

At this time, Samuel had walked to his father's office and said, "I have killed Mr. Black and the few people who are leading the people."

He knew very well that for these kinds of demonstration, not all people were there because of the so called cause. They were there for the sake of benefit that was offered by those who started the demonstration.

For example, food, contribution points, and so on.

Samuel didn't care too much about these ordinary people. They were simply being used but they didn't know that and followed because they could get small benefits.

So he ignored them.

Anyway, if they were smart enough, they would know that they would not be able to gain anything more from this incident.

"Good." Mr. Jones nodded with a bright smile. "I know I can rely on you, Sam."

Samuel rolled his eyes. "Is there anything else?"

"Are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"I think that it's better for me to practice rather than being used by you," Samuel replied with a shrug.

While he didn't mind making a move from time to time, he didn't want to do it all the time. It was not that very comfortable to take action against ordinary people.

After all, Samuel was also taught righteousness and others.

He didn't mind making profit through business but there had to be a bottom line. Attacking ordinary people and made their lives suffer was something that he couldn't do.

"Alright, alright, I won't hold you back." Mr. Jones shook his head and then thought about something. "Also, Peter might want to look for you after he knows that you're here."

"Ah…"

Thinking about being asked to spar again by Peter, Samuel had an indescribable expressions on his face. He could only sigh bitterly and nodded at his father as he slipped away.

He had no intention to stay here any longer.

Without hesitation, Samuel headed to the back mountain right outside City A Base. This area was secluded and it bordered the farm area of City A Base. Not many people came here because they were afraid of encountering magic beasts.

"Are you alright?"
