Chapter 773 Preparations

Name:The Martial Unity Author:


The two of them discussed some more details, before setting off to complete the preparations. The plan Rui was proposing was not simple at all, and it required plenty of preparation and planning. Rui needed to make sure that he knew exactly what he was getting into, otherwise, things could easily fall out of his plans.

The two of them needed to covertly acquire new masks and Martial attire. Using the Martial attire they got from the utilities and amenities department of the Martial Union would be an incredibly foolish move.

The two of them went on to commission a few sets of Martial attire from an international company. Purchasing it from a company native to the Kandrian Empire would be no different from announcing that he was part of the Kandrian Empire. That would easily allow his competitors to track his identity given time.

He couldn't help it with the weapons that he commissioned, commissions for blacksmiths could not be internationally for the most part.

The biggest preparation he needed to make was throwing the Martial Union off for a while. Specifically, he needed to spend some money on the false propagation of rumors in a foreign nation, as well as someone who could cosplay as him to spread the misinformation that he was hoping would be spread.

It took him a week to complete the task. He left the country on a simple mission in the general vicinity he was looking to plant his red herrings, and quickly made all the preparations to ensure that he and Kane would not be on the list of suspects of the identities of those who disrupted the market of the Shionel Confederation.

Rui had to rely on unofficial means to commission a people and a Martial Artist to make it seem like he was still in that foreign nation.

The reason for that was the fact that the Martial Union probably kept a close eye on the happenings of all the Martial organizations in the geographic vicinity, and all matters related to Martial Art.

Otherwise, they would not have found the top-secret information of the research lab for the breakthrough to the Squire Realm in the Commonwealth Duchy of Vinfrana.

What that meant was that Rui could not rely on any existing well-known organization in an official commission. He needed to approach a Martial Squire individually and pay them off.

However, most Martial Squires would not accept such a shady commission, thus Rui needed to research.

Finding an appropriate Martial Squire who was in need of a large number of funds took time, however, with the information of the Martial Union alone under the pretense of necessity for his expenditure, he managed to find the right Martial Squire for the job.

Once the deal was sealed, Rui would simply return for the Martial Union, and go about his day like nothing happened.

The biggest issue was the dimensional storage device.

Rui could purchase that, but…

('It takes away almost eighty percent of my savings,') Rui sighed.

Still, he did not want to back down after everything he had been through. He wasn't surprised that the Martial Union had the ability to sell him a dimensional storage item, but he was surprised that he was easily able to gain access to it.

It meant that his value to the Martial Union was enough that he could gain access to their inventory that easily.

However, he knew that he was investing an insane amount into this venture, but that only made him more motivated to go all out and succeed.

He quickly bought the item, which was a ring that he put on his finger.

Once all of those preparations were finally made, the two were finally ready to leave for the Shionel Confederation.

However, they couldn't just straightforwardly travel to it, unfortunately. They needed to keep up with the act and extensively take a detour. They could even be seen leaving at the same time, thus Kane left the Kandrian Empire a few days before Rui did, heading in the opposite direction of the Shionel Dungeon.

A few days later, Rui also set out.

"How long will you take this time?" Julian asked.

"Hard to say, but probably quite some time," Rui replied.

"Well, you're planning to pull off some risky adventures, so stay safe," He bade Rui.

He was the only one in the Quarrier Orphanage who knew the truth about where Rui was going and what his goal was. Rui felt bad for lying to his family, but he could not afford to spread the truth too much.

Of course, they would never actively rat on him, but it was far too easy for the truth to be extracted from them in ways that they could not be able to fathom. Julian was definitely much more trustworthy in that regard, and would also have figured it out naturally with all the requests that Rui had made of him.

"I intend to," Rui told him before bidding him and his family goodbye and heading off for the border. Like Kane, he too had chosen a nation in a completely different direction than the Shionel Confederation.

It only took him a few hours to reach the border, when he was intercepted by the Kandrian Border Patrol Force and escorted for a formal exit of the country.

"Purpose of transit?" The officer processing his documents asked him.

"Personal venture," Rui smiled.

"Destination?"

"Including but not limited to the Kingdom of Viola,"

Soon enough, he had left the nation.

He began traveling on land, heading to the transit port of the Kingdom of Viola. Normally, he didn't bother entering a small nation legally, but this time he wanted his arrival in the Kingdom of Viola to be recorded. It would make it more credible if he was ever investigated.

Yet he intended to leave illegally without using their formal port of transit, which would support the notion that he hadn't left the nation upon a cursory glance.
