The Martial Unity

"Of course, we do not expect you to undertake this operation on your own." Professor Carl clarified. "However, as a Martial Senior, you can make significant contributions. You possess the ability to eliminate the most powerful assassins in this region."

"You want me to eliminate Martial Senior assassins?" Rui raised an eyebrow.

"Of course." Professor Carl nodded. "We wouldn't mind if you eliminated assassins of all Realms."

Rui considered the mission.

It was not outside his capabilities. Despite his lacking experience, he was a pretty decent assassin thanks to his extraordinary long-range capabilities as a Martial Senior with the Pathfinder technique.

However, what he was more curious about was why the Beggar's Sect had such an ambition in the first place.

"It's a matter of the reliability of our operations." Professor Carl replied, noting his curiosity. "Not even war disrupts the smoothness of our operations as much as mass assassinations, each unrelated to the other. That is something that does tend to sabotage our operation a lot, unfortunately."

Rui raised an eyebrow. That made sense. War was more orderly and followed patterns and could be seen coming from a mile away, especially with their intelligence capabilities.

However, a large number of unrelated assassinations was something that was far more inscrutable and unpredictable. That was the reason that they were so disruptive to intelligence operations, it was what made this region so chaotic and volatile in the first place. The fact that it was almost impossible to see all of them coming was something that probably irked the Beggar's Sect to no end.

"We wish to restore some stability to the region so that intelligence-gathering becomes it is easier for our modus operandi that way." Professor Carl.
