The Martial Unity

That day, word of a strange sight spread around the town of Hajin that day. A Martial Artist of the Martial Union bearing the Royal Insignia had dragged a woman by her hair all the way from the outskirts of the town of Hajin to the central district. It was a sight that reinstated the fear in the civilians had in the Martial Artists of the Empire.

Considering the Martial Artist seemed to be from the Martial Union and the Kandrian government, it probably meant that that woman had fucked up big time. If that treatment of the woman was unjustified, it would not have been done so publicly. The fact that she was being treated so horribly out in the open meant that she was being used an example by the Kandrian government and the Martial Union, this was the conclusion people came to.

Of course, they couldn't be more wrong. Rui honestly just didn't care for the optics. He didn't want to start sprinting with her already mangled body. There was a chance she might aactually die if he was too rough, as much as he would have loved to kill her, giving her to the Kandrian Bureau of Investigation would probably save more lives.

She had valuable intelligence to offer regarding the child-trafficking industry, without a doubt. Suppliers, traffickers, purchasers and consumers. The hidden identities of these people that had lurked around in the shadows could potentially be exposed and uprooted by the Bureau and the Martial Union based on her intelligence.

He had covered her face in a mask, and wrapped up most of her body in cloth, even her hair. He did this because he did not want anyone identifying her.

Of course, common citizens would have no clue who she was, but those in the know would realize that she'd been caught, and they might get exposed. He had been exceedingly meticulous and had ensured that there was almost no chance of that happening.

The only thing that could be inferred about her was that she was a female adult, given the size of her voluptuous breasts.

Soon enough Rui had reached the Bureau headquarters. It had taken him a while to get past the general bewilderment of the front reception staff and guards, but eventually he was greeted by several members of the team he was assigned.

"You son of a musket." Barnard revealed a grudging smirk. "You actually did it, you madman."
