Chapter 1187 - 1190: Legacy

Stephen and Arnold looked at each other and then laughed.

Yes, Ruben was right.

The two of them knew very well that they were not used to be pointed at by others and would rather explore on their own.

A guide is fine.

But having their own paths being pointed at so clearly was clearly a big no.

On the other hand, Ruben was different from them because he was already used to have his life being arranged by others. Besides, he believed that their vision would be better than him who barely knew anything.

Considered that his own position later on was to support Samuel, Ruben didn't think that there was anything wrong with having his own path being guided by others.

This would make it easy for him to get started and also allow him to use tested combination that was surely powerful.

But when it came to the later stage where he needed more imagination…

Ruben might be slower than the others.

Not that Ruben minded, though.

He never really thought that he could advance so far away and already felt that his current situation was pretty good.

Expecting too much would only make it impossible for him to move forward.

"Well, each to their own." Stephen smiled.

They have their own personalities and different paths that they needed to tread on by themselves. It was absolutely impossible for them to completely follow the path of other people.

Ruben nodded.

Arnold just shrugged, not caring too much about this kind of thing.

"Hmm, I can move a bit now…. Shall we have a drink together? It has been a while since we last drank together," Ruben offered as he sat up and rubbed his arm. The feeling of weakness from having his mana exhausted was truly uncomfortable.

Thankfully, it was not completely unbearable.

As long as he persisted, he could still bear with it.

"Sure."

"But you have to tell us about the legacy thing that we talked before."

"Oh right."

The three of them simply took out a table and chairs before Ruben took out a few bottles of wine.

Looking at the expensive wine, Arnold was speechless. "Can't you find something cheaper? I'm not used to these delicacies."

For Arnold, as long as he could get drunk, it was good alcohol.

There was no need to specifically prepare expensive wine for him to drink.

"What are you talking about? These are the best wine that you can possibly find, so just enjoy it," Stephen interjected. He rarely had the chance to enjoy wine again after the world changed.

Since Ruben gave his own stash, why can't he accept it?

Anyway, Stephen just wanted to enjoy the drink.

Arnold: "…"

You rich man will never understand!

Ruben looked at these two people and shook his head as he simply poured a glass for himself. It was quite remarkable that they managed to get along well on daily basis without fighting.

After all, he knew that all of their background were very different.

"The legacy matter… it could be said to be literal. The higher ups know that it's impossible to hide the presence of these returnees and the news of their deeds during the grand magic beasts' tide had spread far and wide." Ruben paused for a moment, his expression a bit complicated. "Some people even recorded the scene from a distance, risking their lives just to get the best picture."

Ruben couldn't understand the mentality of those reporters.

They were willing to throw away their lives for the sake of the news they recorded and some of them viewed preserving history as their life creed.

He saw the videos and knew that some of them were recorded within the encirclement area.

The camera's technology was definitely very good.

Because they could still get the picture of Samuel and the others even if it was blurry. But the picture of two people hovering in the air while two others were fighting on the ground could still be seen.

Those who knew will definitely recognize these four people.

"And then…?" Arnold frowned.

The fact that they couldn't hide the presence of these returnees was not exactly a secret. In fact, many people already knew the existence of the returnees from the very beginning because they wanted to know how those exercise and various magical things came from.

That's when they found out that there were some people who lead this motion.

Dina is practically the leader of City J Base.

She was also spreading the demonic magician's method everywhere, basically recruiting follower just like a cult.

*sigh*

Samuel might not be promoting himself, but he's from the Jones Family and given the extensive business of the Jones Family before the world changed, it would be difficult for him to be so low key.

If it was not because Samuel spent so much time with Riya inside the crack and then left to another world for a while, it was estimated that he would become explosively popular.

Peter himself was also quite popular because he went to various places to deal with the magic beasts. While he didn't really promote himself, there were still many people who knew about him and saw him.

Or perhaps… they were helped by Peter.

His physical strength was simply abnormal and even those who followed the path of warriors didn't seem to be as strong as him.

It was truly unreasonable.

*sigh*

Anyway, those who had seen Peter's strength will definitely marvel at how strong he is.

And then there was also Murin from the magicians from the Magic Association who went out to capture magic beasts in various places. It could be said that while he and the magicians from the Magic Association was still in one mind, the latter promoted him intensively.

When Murin chose to go against them, the magicians from the Magic Association smeared him intensively instead. But they still didn't take down the information they have posted in their website.

It was truly a love and hate relationship…

*cough*
