Chapter 2151 A Visit and Briefing

Emperor Rael knew that there was a good chance that the Republic of Gorteau and the Sekigahara Confederate would consider Rui as a strong point of investigation to obtain the means of mass breakthrough.

Not because they had some reason to suspect that he himself was responsible for them

No.

But because of how powerful his position within the Kandrian Empire was.

Not only was he a prince of the Royal Family, but he was also a member of the Master Council. In addition, prior to Emperor Rael's return, he was undoubtedly the most powerful man in the Kandrian Empire.

If there was anybody who would know, it was surely the Void Prince.

"So you're saying I need to be careful when I visit the Panamic Martial Federation?" Rui asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Very." Emperor Rael nodded. "As much as I would rather you didn't, all constituents of the Federation must agree to a universal briefing on the state of affairs and certain truths that they believe that each Martial Master is entitled and obliged to know. Thus, the Martial Union will be answerable if you don't visit the Federation. In addition, it will make you look more suspicious if you don't "

There certainly was a large difference, even though the changes had been subtle and over a large span of time.

He had gone from being an Apprentice with a lot of potential to a Squire and Senior of strategic interest, to the golden and, eventually, platinum boy of the Martial Union. Both his regard and need for the Union had reduced.

"The Panamic Martial Federation taps into networks of all Martial organizations to access every inch of the continent and all markets of Martial Art," Emperor Rael continued. "As a Master, the market that is able to afford your services is much smaller than the market for the Lower Realms. That is why an organization that can stretch across the entire continent is useful, able to squeeze out all market opportunities from everywhere instead of just East Panama. Although, I suppose it isn't relevant to you since you haven't accepted a commission in a long time. Very unusual for a Martial Artist your age."

His words put Rui into deep thought. "It has been a long time since I thought about it. I have gained so many more lucrative streams of income that they're frankly meaningless to me. Still..."

He stirred at the memories of the many missions he had completed back when he had been an Apprentice and Squire.

"Maybe I should consider undertaking one from the Panamic Martial Federation when I visit it."

"I would rather you get the initiation and membership done before the war begins." Emperor Rael's tone grew more serious. "There isn't much time left. War is soon to come. After it begins, you won't have the opportunity to get these things done."

Rui grew more solemn at his words. "I bet the three Sage-level powerhouses are pissed off by the revelations of the mass breakthroughs."

"Not nearly as much as they'll be when they realize that they can't have it." Emperor Rael calmly added. "Now go. Make sure you prepare to ensure that your departure does not cause any suspicion to fall upon you."
