"The conditions for us are avoiding the eyes of the ones whose interests we are clashing with, and two, to placate the interests of those whose eyes we cannot avoid," Rui explained. "As long as we can fulfill these two conditions, we can go all out without holding back in the Shionel Dungeon."

"And let me guess," Kane smiled wryly. "You have a way of doing both, correct?"

"Just right," Rui smirked.

"First, regarding the Martial Union. We cannot avoid their eyes forever, but we can delay them," Rui explained.

"And how would you go about that?" Kane asked.

"We can create a red herring," Rui explained. "It's not that difficult to plant false information and throw them off-guard for a while. Once you understand how information flows, manipulating it becomes far more feasible. Traveling to separate destinations, paying off information brokers, and commissioning copycats to take our place from the local Martial Art group will hinder them to a certain extent."

"That makes sense," Kane nodded. "Though what do we do when they get us eventually? Isn't that back to square one?"

"True, but we will have obtained at least some time without them breathing down our backs," Rui tutted.

How on Earth are they going to accurately map the entirety of the Shionel Dungeon dome that's sixty kilometers wide?
