The Martial Unity

"Should I just knock one of the teams out and toss them into the fourteenth floor?" He asked himself, amused.

The idea wasn't exactly without merit, even if it was an amusingly crude way of going about it.

However, it definitely also had its demerits.

('If they get knocked out only to wake up and find themselves on a brand-new floor of the dungeon, that's definitely going into the report,') Rui sighed. ('In that case, it's quite likely that Chairman Deacon will be suspicious nonetheless.')

Although he would be suspicious to a lesser extent than if Rui tried communicating to him the existence and location of the fourteenth floor, it was still too iffy for Rui. What he needed was a concrete way to ensure that Chairman Deacon would greedily try to monopolize and clear it himself. This way, the only one suffering would be Chairman Deacon. He had absolutely no problems with that.

('Alright, now, I just need to plan exactly how I'm going to get an exploration team of Deacon Industries to stumble into the fourteenth floor,') Rui sighed as he considered all the available options at hand.

('The most organic way would be them naturally finding the fourteenth floor without any intervention from me,')

The problem was that this was too unlikely and Rui couldn't afford to wait around for the many days and weeks it would take for an event that may not even ever happen> he couldn't afford to waste so much time waiting for them to stumble onto the fourteenth floor naturally.
