The Martial Unity

Once Rui returned, he immediately began issuing orders to relevant personnel. They had acquired the corpses of two Martial Seniors whose conditions could not be allowed to deteriorate any further.

While Senior Ceeran could excuse himself and treat himself to a good hot bath for a job well done, Rui had immediately visited the intelligence team regarding some important matters.

"You want me to infiltrate the K'ulnen Tribe and bug the entire place? Sure, that's no problem now that those two looming threats are gone. I'll walk right past those Martial Squire chumps and place wiretaps right under their noses.

"Be careful though. Wiretaps lose their invisibility and imperceptibility once they leave your person," Rui warned him.

Kane himself was invisible and imperceptible to almost all other Martial Squires. However, the moment that an object left his small area of influence, it would immediately be perceivable. What that meant was that if there was any other Martial Artist in the immediate vicinity of the location where Kane was placing a wiretap, then there was a chance that they would notice the wiretap seemingly appearing out of thin air. In which case, they would definitely investigate the object.

"Relax, don't be such a worrywart," Kane reassured. "If I do this mission, it would be at night when at least a good portion of them will be sleeping."

This was true and definitely did alleviate the risks of the operation.

The rest of the meeting proceeded smoothly as he informed the intelligence team of his concerns regarding the more zealous Martial Artists of the K'ulnen Tribe that would choose to retaliate against the Martial Union settlement for having killed their highest leaders and most powerful warriors.
