The Martial Unity

Rui was aware of the existence of the underworld and the mafia, however, he did not know that they were such a significant force in the Kandrian Empire. In hindsight, he should have known given the fact that it was almost human nature.

He could see why the Martial Union disliked the Underworld. The Martial Union spent a lot of capital and resources on the sixteen Martial Academies that rigorously trained Martial Artists in hopes that each generation would join and empower the Martial Union. It must be a sore sight to see the Underworld reel in a minority of its investments for its own use.

The unfortunate fact of the matter was that one could probably make more wealth through the Underworld, although there was a huge slew of detriments to doing that.

Rui skimmed through the document listing all the third parties that the Martial Union wanted Rui to avoid servicing. The list was quite big, though Rui was sure that these third parties were not the only 'faces' that the Underworld had through which they could legitimately purchase esoteric substances. Still, if Rui barred any sale from Esosale Suppliers to these third parties, then he was sure the Underworld would suffer a blow to a certain extent.

That would instantly make him and Esosale Suppliers the enemy of the entirety of the Underworld of the Shionel Confederation. He was sharp enough to realize that the Martial Union was hoping for this, to a certain extent. Rui was cognizant enough to evaluate the Martial Union's offer from the context of their incentives and interests.

By having Rui agree to this agreement, they would forever cut away any possibility of Rui joining the Underworld, especially the so-called Martial Don. This would be a highly undesirable outcome for the Martial Union, and one they might fear.

The reason for this was that as much power wealth Rui could accumulate through legitimate means, he could probably gain even more if he joined the Underworld with the capabilities he currently possessed.
