Chapter 2163 A Single Name
The only outsiders that could set foot within the Panamic Martial Federation were Martial Artists, and the only Martial Artists that Emperor Rael could trust to undertake such an immensely important mission aside from the Martial Sages of the Martial Union were Sage Sayfeel and Rui.
The former's existence was an absolute secret that could not be divulged. Thus, Rui was the only one he could turn to.
In fact, although Emperor Rael hadn't said it, Rui knew that he had given him the easiest Sage recruitment mission out of all. An able Martial Sage was far more difficult to impress and was far too dangerous for Rui compared to a fully crippled Martial Sage.
"Oh well..." He shrugged. "Time to break a law or two."
It was rather silly when he thought of the underlying reason why he had come to the conclusion that he needed to go through such an extreme solution. Normally, not being able to meet a recruitment target was not cause to become a criminal.
The sane response in this circumstance was to simply give up and go back home and tell his father it couldn't happen.
Yet, Rui simply couldn't afford to do this, easy as it was.
Success was imperative to ensuring that the Kandrian Empire was able to gain the power it needed to withstand pressure from the rest of the world. Furthermore, it needed to happen quickly.
On top of that, the means by which he got the opportunity to convince her to join the Kandrian Empire and serve his father, the Emperor of Harmony, could not reduce the probability of her accepting his offer.
In other words, he couldn't go too far. Pissing her off was not going to help him succeed. He just needed to ensure that he got in the same room as her. He also wanted to avoid incurring a sentence that was particularly hard or rough as he wasn't interested in becoming a fugitive.
In other words, he just needed to get in front of her.
The reason that he was so confident was that he didn't think she would be able to resist the allure of regaining her power. Once she was in front of him and faced with the opportunity to regain her power, she most likely would not do anything to delay the process.

...]
It was an entirely ordinary message.
One that would not have stirred anyone who read it.
After all, it was a bunch of boring details for a bunch of boring matters.
Yet, Rui froze.
His eyes sharpened gravely as his expression grew severe.
The air grew frosty as his chilling gaze intensified, fixating on the message.
A single name.
