Chapter 2184 Preparations

Rui needed to exert an immense amount of self-control to ensure that he didn't give away his intentions through his reactions. Thankfully, his Martial Mind was stronger than theirs; thus, they couldn't sense his intentions directly the way that he could theirs. In other words, he wasn't a liability to his own mission given to him by his father.

However, it didn't change the fact that he needed to comply.

"I'm willing to peacefully adhere to the legal protocol of the Panamic Martial Federation," Rui reassured. "I hope the Panamic Martial Federation will, however, grant me the grace of retrieving my clothes and belongings."

"Of course." The lead Martial Master nodded. "You shall be treated in a manner befitting an exalted Martial Master."

Rui fell into thought as he quickly prepared himself for what was to come.

In ordinary circumstances, he had plenty of reason to be extremely wary of his current predicament.

After all, the Panamic Martial Federation was quite certain that he was aware of the methodology behind the mass Apprentice breakthroughs. On top of that, as an organization that reflected the will and was not independent of the Martial World, he knew that the organization was experiencing a tremendous amount of pressure from its constituents to extract the secrets of the mass Apprentice breakthroughs from him. In other words, he needed to ensure that the pressure did not overwhelm his capacity to navigate the trial carefully.

Thankfully, Martial jurisprudence typically did not take as much time and was not as elaborate as normal human jurisprudence.

The reason for this was simple.

Martial Artists simply lacked the patience to deal with extensive legal protocols that were common in the non-Martial World.

This worked in his favor.

It wasn't long before he found himself inside the compound, perched inside his own designated house arrest room.

Much to his surprise, even the house arrest quarters were quite luxurious, with plenty of space and extravagant amenities. He felt like he was in a hotel on a vacation rather than house arrest.

"Perks of being a Martial Master, I suppose," he remarked. "However, I don't have time to indulge in all of this."

He needed to prepare for his trial that was tomorrow.

There wasn't much time for preparation. However, there wasn't too much to prepare for either. He just needed to make sure that he had identified the most optimal strategy that would maximize the probability of him getting out of there alive and, well, with Sage Kole Kellin journeying back home to the Kandrian Empire with him.

Upon arrival, he began planning.

From the very start, he knew that the lack of sophistication in Martial litigation would work against him because that meant there was less room for loopholes. The process was incredibly simple. He would be presented before the judge, who would have gone over the case files prior to the hearing and would proceed to ask him a bunch of questions. By the end of the session, she would come to a judgment and would sentence him to whatever she deemed fit.

In other words, it all came down to how well he could manipulate her.

Ordinarily, he would be quite pessimistic about his chances of success.

After all, Martial Sages were deeply insightful. He doubted she was any different; her senses did not need to be suppressed even if she had sealed off her Reams of power. In other words, it was highly unlikely that he would be able to deceive her as a Martial Master.

If not for his trump card, he was sure that he was doomed.

"But even with my trump card..." He narrowed his eyes. "I need to make sure that I execute my offer to her."
