The Martial Unity

Rui was amused.

No really.

He was truly amused.

He had to admit that the offer to make him Assassin King was probably the best move that they could have made. He had wondered exactly what the plan of the Shadow Association was.

Apparently, the Shadow Association had taken the most extreme and absurd of precautions to hide their intentions for this one speech not even the Beggar's Sect had managed to get him a copy of the speech ahead of time the way that they normally did.

This was the first time that he himself had heard of this. After having a good hearty laugh in response, he could see the merits of the plan and why it was a good idea on their part.

Unfortunately for them, he didn't give a damn about wealth. He didn't feel much even when he became equal to a billionaire on Earth in terms of assets. He simply didn't care about money.

He didn't care much about any of the other things that would come with being an Assassin King.

That was why, while it wasn't a bad plan, it simply was ineffective against Rui. They lacked a real understanding of what their tormentor was like, which is why they didn't know he didn't care.

Of course, in their defense, it was unexpected that he would be completely unmoved by any of these benefits. In their experience, the only assassins who didn't care were the loyal types who had already dedicated themselves to serving a master.

The Voidreaper hadn't struck them as being associated with any powerful force. Thus they had hoped that he would be moved by their offer.

But he wasn't.

And, he had just found a good opportunity to demonstrate that he hadn't.

He took aim as the man continued rattling on about the benefits of the Assassin King before inhaling deeply and activating his Martial Heart. He was so far away from the speech podium that he had decided to take a shot from another island entirely.

He activated Pathfinder as the ODA System booted up within his Mind Palace. he carefully expanded his senses as far as he could piling in all the relevant data into the ODA System before calculating the trajectory of the projectiles as an output.
