The Martial Unity

"So you're telling me the super powerful merchant guy that we pissed off is forming a literal hunting team to gather information on us so that he can eventually take us out?" Kane frowned.

"Right," Rui nodded.

He had informed Kane about everything he had learned. After all, he couldn't withhold such information that had an impact on Kane.

"Alright, so what are we gonna do?" Kane asked.

Rui smiled back wordlessly. He had entertained the possibility of Kane quitting which would not be unreasonable. But he appreciated his friend's loyalty and commitment.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to," Rui reminded him, just to make sure. "You can just leave it to me if this becomes too much at any given point."

Although things would become far harder for him, Rui did not want to use this as a justification to pressure his best friend to tag along with him in crazy circumstances.

"Don't worry about it, I intend to see this through to the end," he lightly said. "So what is it that we are going to about this predicament?"

"We cannot avoid it," Rui explained. "At least, now that I've joined the Voidhunters, any indications that the Voider learned of the plans to gather as much information on him as possible will put the sixteen Voidhunters in suspicion. That's far too much suspicion on me, and I cannot allow that to happen."
