Chapter 1828 Seen Through

BADUMP!

Rui's Martial Heart flared into power.

A tsunami of power erupted from deep within his body.

His cells shook as a maelstrom of power gushed from deep within them to far beyond, spreading across the entire body.

His circulatory system lit up a brilliant bright red from his chest across the entirety of his body, giving him an aura that the ignorant would mistake as godly.

His body brimmed with energy.

His quivered with power.

His eyes flared with a faint glow as he opened them, inspecting his entire body.

"I've finally returned to my peak."

After a month of gradually intensifying rehabilitative training, he gradually coaxed his body to return to its state before the battle with the Gatekeeper.

While the sensation of returning to his peak was pleasing, he was not pleased.

His eyes narrowed as his fists clenched. "Two months..."

He snuffed his Martial Heart, tutting with displeasure.

He didn't like the fact that he had to waste so much time just recovering and rehabilitating from the consequences of using the forbidden metabody technique.

It was a painful reminder of why the technique was forbidden.

If not for the fact that the Gatekeeper had also very willingly used a forbidden technique to win the battle with brute force, he would have never dared to use the technique. Two months was too much of a cost to pay, as far as he was concerned.

Especially when he was pressured by a deadline.

Now, he only had roughly three years and ten months left.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Come in."

"Your Highness," His secretary walked in.

"It is time for your remote appointment with the Beggar Sage."

"Hm," Rui donned his outer attire before departing from the training room. "Let's get going then."

His mind drifted about to the many thoughts he had had when thinking about the Beggar Sage when planning this meeting.

His eyes narrowed.

"Where is the Psycher, the Astromind, the Scrier, and the Divine Doctor?"

He made sure to not change so much a hint of his cadence in regards to the final name.

The air grew heavy.

It grew tumultuous.

"..."

Rui furrowed his eyebrows.

"...Kek."

Rui could almost hear him grinning widely on the other side.

"Kekeke..." He began laughing uncontrollably. "HEHEHAHAHEEE...!!"

Rui narrowed his eyes as the man burst into guffaw, laughing uncontrollably!

"...You, you little trickster," A hint of excitement entered his voice. "You almost fooled me."

"...What do you mean?"

"Hah, searching for the human sages," the man snorted.

Rui could hear his excitement.

"You only care for one name on that list of names, don't you?"

Rui narrowed his eyes. "I don't know what you're-"

"-Spare me the bullshit."

His voice was nonchalant.

"Don't forget who needs who here," he growled. "I don't mind cutting this call short right here and now."

Rui closed his eyes. "...Fine."

He didn't know how, but somehow, the Beggar Sage saw right through him just by hearing his voice.

"Where is the Divine Doctor?"
