Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 151

Amelia looked to the back, watching as they passed by these people.

Riya looked at this and then asked, "Do you think they’re very pitiful or that we have to help them?"

"No." Amelia quickly shook her head.

She knew very well that if they didn’t do this just now, these robbers would not hesitate and did the same to them. When these people took out their weapons and shot indiscriminately, did they ever think that they would kill other people?

They certainly did.

Since they were area of the risk but still proceed through it, they should be prepared to bear the consequences.

Actively killing people was definitely not the best option.

But self defense is definitely necessary.

"They just suffered retribution," Amelia said slowly. Even though she felt uncomfortable seeing people dying in front of her, Amelia’s mental state was still somewhat calm. After all, in this broken world where so many magic beasts appear, could she hope for there to be no death?

These deaths would normally be caused by the magic beasts. This time, it just changed hands.

But Amelia would never blame her brother.

She knew very well that the world has become very dangerous and the previous law and order could not be fully applicate to their current situation.

"It’s good that you think that way," Riya said and looked outside. "It’ll be a kill or be killed world to a certain degree. If you think they didn’t deserve death because of compassion, you’ll never survive for long in this world."

"Mhm." Amelia nodded with determination.

She didn’t want to hold back others, so she had to put aside her kindness.

Riya looked at Amelia and smiled faintly. To be honest, Riya herself didn’t have much trouble adapting to that world during those four years. Even when she had to kill other people, she had no hesitation.

People might call her cold blooded, but Riya didn’t care too much.

As an orphan who was not cared by either side of her parents, Riya learned how to take care of herself ever since she was young. And to make sure she was not bullied, she had to be tough and beat up those boys who dared to try.

So for Riya, she had no qualms raising her hands against those who wanted to covet what belonged to her.

It could be said that she had learned to show her thorns in order to survive.

But Amelia was different.

She was pampered by her family for almost her entire life. Being able to be willful because her family background, yet she didn’t look down on others because of her good upbringing. So when it came to the matter of life and death, Amelia couldn’t really kill others easily.

The two of them were different.

But they had to adapt to this world.

"Actively killing people in the base will still warrant punishment," Arnold reminded as he continued to drive.
