The Martial Unity

Strangely enough, Rui felt as though he had arrived at a crossroads of sorts. The way he dealt with this would likely very well set the pattern for how he would deal with such an issue in the future.

He glanced at Kane, who was silently listening. He expressed concern, but that was purely for Rui. He had no personal interest at stake here.

After all, he did not give a fuck about his family. He would probably grin in amusement if he did cause them any trouble.

However, even if he cared for his family, he would not be worried. The Underworld was not crazy enough to mess with one of the most powerful Martial families in the Kandrian Empire.
