The Martial Unity

"Apprentice Quarrier." Charles DiVillier addressed him at one point.

"Lord Divilier." Rui bowed, expressing goodwill.

"It is truly unfortunate that your identity was revealed in the manner that it was." Charles DiVilier sighed, shaking his head. "Unfortunately, these things happen. Though I daresay this hasn't yielded any negative consequences."

"It seems that way." Rui replied perfunctorily.

"By the way." Charles smiled. "I recall commissioning you for your unique Martial Art, in vain unfortunately. However, after witnessing your remarkable growth since the Martial Contest, I wish to extend my offer to you. Join the DiVillier Family." He said. "You will find it to be worth your time"

The guests who were listening to the conversation widened their eyes at his words.

However, Rui shook his head at those words. "I already have a family. I'm afraid I will have to decline your offer."

"It's a pity I cannot acquire you." Charles DiVilier sighed, almost speaking of Rui as an object. "However, if you ever do reconsider, I'll always be more than willing to accommodate a Martial Artist of your calbre."

"Thank you." Rui replied, ending their conversation. He didn't want to interact with Charles, especially after he learnt of the identity of his fighter.

The guests interacted and socialized with themselves, while the fighters interacted with each other. Rui walked over to the Martial Apprentices present in the room after he managed to pry himself from the guest members. He wasn't particularly interested in befriending them or anything of the matter. It was just that Martial Artists were more interesting to interact with.
