Chapter 2077 As a Martial Artist

His father's new ambition was extraordinary.

It was the kind of ambition that would affect not only him but everybody else in the entire world.

It was surreal.

Perhaps it was because he had just regained life and was looking forward to making the most of it.

Perhaps it was because he truly believed in the revolutionary power of the priceless treasures that Rui had brought home with him. The Silas Clan and its Eye of Prophecy, the Divine Doctor, the Elder Tree network, and the time-accelerated dungeon—each of these had the potential to revolutionize nations and skyrocket them beyond their limits.

Kandria had gained all five.

Any ordinary leader in his stead would have quaked in fear even if their eyes were lit with greed.

After all, no nation would tolerate its peer growing astronomically stronger than it. Especially if it could foresee said astronomical growth ahead of time.

That was exactly what revealing the possession of these treasures would do; it did not take a genius to see that allowing Kandria to monopolize them freely was the same as agreeing to be forever inferior to Kandria. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

That was never going to happen.

He exhaled deeply. "...Once these most immediate concerns are settled, I can begin creating my master plan and commence preparations to execute it."

Rui sharpened his gaze. "What will you do with the Divine Doctor, the Elder Tree, and the time-accelerated dungeon in the meantime?"

Emperor Rael shook his head. "Until I am certain that we have obtained the means to endure their consequences, we must restrict their utility and impact on Kandria. We absolutely cannot allow the other nations to learn about them prematurely. Thus, one of my highest priorities at the moment is to secure them with absolute secrecy."

"That is prudent." Rui nodded, relieved that his father was approaching the treasures with extreme caution and sense despite the insane ambitions he held. "It will be impossible for me to plan and accomplish this all by myself, thus I intend to involve the most important military and Martial stakeholders in the nation with this plan. Grand General Aramoeus and the Grand Admiral Geron, the Sage Council, and the strongest of Martial Masters. And perhaps, you too."

Rui furrowed his eyebrows at those words. "I told you, I'm not going to engage in politics anymore."

"I' wouldn't be inviting you in the capacity of a politician this time," Emperor Rael calmly replied. "I would be inviting you in the capacity of a Martial Artist. Martial Artists are also involved when it comes to military and Martial strategy. As the largest stakeholders of the net power of a nation, Martial Artists possess a voice that cannot be ignored and must be given its due."

Rui stirred at those words, acquiescing lightly.

He did not want to engage in the roles of a politician that involved lobbying and leveraging, negotiations and diplomacy, legislation and executive, bureaucracy and management, but he didn't mind offering his two cents on Martial Art-centric matters when it came to the strategizing and planning.

"Fine." Rui heaved a sigh. "I'll help you out with chalking up a strategy. But that's it. Nothing else. I will not be involved with the execution, management, oversight, or any other responsibility of any other kind."

His father chuckled. "It seems like your experience as a politician has left you wanting to stay away from that world."

Rui snorted. "That, it has."
