The Martial Unity

"This is an entirely valid concern of yours," Rui nodded. "It is absolutely true that we possess the ability to leave this island at any point we want."

Senior K'Mala's expression relaxed slightly at those words. She was afraid that the outsiders would deny this in an attempt to deceptively hide their capabilities and placate the G'ak'arkan Tribe.

However, the fact that Rui openly admitted to this straightforwardly was a good sign, it meant that they did not have any intentions of deceiving the G'ak'arkan Tribe by leaving the moment they got their hands on the techniques of the G'ak'arkan Tribe regardless of whether they had paid their end of the deal or not.

"We have accounted for this concern that you have brought up," Rui continued. "One way can accommodate it is by fulfilling our part of the bargain before you do yours, regardless of what agreement we come up with. This way, we cannot ever deceive you by swiftly evacuating from this island at any given point."

K'Mala raised an eyebrow at that. It was quite relieving for her to hear that they were willing to make that concession. By fulfilling their end of the agreement before the G'ak'arkan Tribe, it was indeed impossible for them to get away with deceiving the G'ak'arkan by retreating from the island at a particular moment.

On the other hand, it meant that they were supremely confident that the G'ak'arkan Tribe would not use that advantage to their benefit.
