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. A family that was led by a Martial Sage, that had produced many martial Artists of all Realms, and who was also the leader of one of the most powerful Martial Sects in the nation.

The actual military and net Martial power of the Underworld paled in comparison to the Martial Union in absolute numbers, which is why the Underworld didn't dare to confront the former in a head-on symmetrical war, among other reasons.

The Arrancar Family was powerful enough to take on the Underworld's Martial forces by itself.

The same could not be said for the Quarrier Orphanage. The thought of It was almost funny.

Their many faces flashed through his head as he thought of the ones that he was especially attached to. Julian, Lashara, Alice, Max, and Mana, among others.
