"Sir, this is the situation in Continent Y."
Before Mr. Jones could make the call, someone gave report about what happened in Continent Y.
"What is it?"
"There's a new pattern in the sky and the returnees have all confirmed that it's the Soul Magician."
Soul Magician?
Hearing this, Mr. Jones stood up and quickly took a look at the picture presented to him. Everyone knew that the soul magician who appeared in Continent Y had already sacrificed herself to protect the people from the magic beasts' tide a long time ago.
This case made some people soften towards the returnee.
After all, when the matter of returnees spread, there were actually a lot of people who hated them and felt that it was unfair. Why does these people could have the chance to enter a completely different world and experienced so many things, which allowed them to be far ahead from others?
Their resentment was extremely strong that it was hard to convince them.
If it was not because of the magic beasts' tide and the fact that the officials and the people who governed the bases were much stronger than them, it was estimated that they would have long started a riot.
It was a mess.
But after the fact that a returnee died to protect the people, they somehow calmed down.
This piece of news seemed to tell them that even if these returnees were given the chance to be ahead of them, they were not invincible and could still die. Moreover, these people seemed to be given the task to protect the ordinary people.
Just thinking about it made them have some aversion towards having this kind of ability.
Because they didn't want to be pushed to the frontline and being used as a 'shield' by others.
Not everyone has such self sacrificing spirit.
In this way, the riot was curbed down in its infancy and people were more focused on trying to survive and lived their lives.
After more than a year of relatively comfortable life, they seemed to have started to have some other ideas again, which made Mr. Jones disgusted. The people who wanted to make trouble in City A Base were scared off by Samuel's action.
But what about other bases?
There were not many people with such deterrent power like Samuel over there.
If they failed to control these people, what awaited them would be nothing more than destruction. Or even more chaos.
He didn't know what happened on their side because the news didn't travel that far.
Even if he were to know what happened on the border, can he send people to help?
It was too far away at that time.
Later on, various means from the returnees were spread out, making their lives better and better. They no longer feared the magic beasts outside and instead treated it as prey for them to train and also get stronger.
This cycle was originally good.
But it seemed that their lives got better too quickly that some people started to feel restless.
Mr. Jones has been thinking about this problem lately.
