Chapter 2191 No Choice

The Martial World and the political sphere had been looking forward to Rui's trial. After all, it would undoubtedly serve as an opportunity to legally obtain the method of the Kandrian Empire's mass Apprentice breakthroughs.

It didn't matter if the Panamic Martial Federation was staunchly against forcing Martial Artists to divulge their secrets. The same powers that had played a role in instating these principles looked forward to them being broken.

That was how precious being able to manufacture Martial Artists was.

Principles would not be able to protect them from the Kandrian Empire if it fully exploited the potential of this miraculous power.

There was no such thing as unconditional principles in the world of Martial Art. Everything had a limit.

That was why not a single one of them was able to maintain their composure when they heard of the outcome of what was supposed to be a slam dunk case.

"Exile...?"

In the presidential headquarters of the Republic of Gorteau, President Raymond gritted his teeth as he read through a copy of the case files of Rui's criminal lawsuit.

"EXILE?!" he bellowed with rage. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

BANG

He slammed his fist down on the wooden table before him as his eyes swept across his presidential administration.

"How did this happen?" He snarled. "I thought I told you to tip the attending Sage Kole generously. I don't care if we spend a hundred billion. I need that mass breakthrough method!"

"It is unusual," the director admitted. "However, we have no choice but to pursue all of them to the very end."

"How long will that take?" President Raymond narrowed his eyes.

"No more than three months, at the very maximum," the director reassured him. "Three months it is then." President Raymond's gaze shifted to a missive beside him. "Any longer and I will have no choice but to wage war."

The missive bore the crest of the Britannian Empire.

Within it was a letter stamped with the imperial seal of the Prime Minister.

In the past month or so, Prime Minister Edward Gel Dermont had written to him many times, pointing out that war was the only outcome—the secret of the mass Apprentice breakthroughs would not be discoverable without invading Kandria, and that all their efforts were useless.

President Raymond had scoffed at him in the beginning, but he could not help but slowly come to the realization that the man's words were increasingly proven to be true.

He came to the realization that perhaps war truly was inevitable.

If that was the case, they would only be harming themselves with each day they delayed it, giving the Emperor of Harmony more time to prepare.

President Raymond had half a mind to do away with this investigative effort. However, he needed to see it to the end, considering how much had been invested in it.

"You better bring me results soon."

"Yes, Mr. President."
