The Martial Unity

It wasn't long before Rui exited the business convention. He frankly had nothing to do, and he wasn't interested in acting chummy with Decker. He had more important agendas to tend to.

He needed to get started on his training of bending heaven and earth. That was far more important than hanging around some conglomerates and business tycoons. He also needed to start working on the three adaptive evolution techniques that he was preparing for the fiscal meeting that was due to appear in a little less than a year as well.

Those were his priorities for the moment. His plan to win over Master Gurren panned out very well, meaning he succeeded in his attempt to go down domain techniques for his next path forward for adaptive evolution.

Those were the two primary objectives that he was going to be spending time on.

Outside of Martial Art priorities that ranked at the top of the list, he also awaited Prince Raijun's response to his proposed offer. In addition, he was also to attend Princess Ranea's unveiling of the first functioning submarine of the Kandrian Empire's navy in an attempt to build up support for the new form of naval technology.

Out of all the seven prime princes and princesses he knew, he was more intrigued to meet Princess Ranea. She certainly seemed to be one of the less extreme of the seven. Princess Raemina and Rafia were both batshit crazy as far as Rui was concerned. Prince Raijun was sane but was quite the extremist.

Prince Randal, the military prince, did not sound very normal. He seemed highly militaristic and warmongering based on how Master Krakule spoke about his ambitions to lead the Kandrian Empire into war with the rest of East Panama.

That left Prince Rajak, the Underworld Prince. Rui had already clashed with the Kandrian Underworld before, and he had the worst impression of them. They were willing to destroy lives just to have a better chance at winning the Kandrian Throne War.

He disdained them.

He hoped that Princess Ranea would not give him a reason to regret the deal he made with Prince Raijun. But alas, there was a limit to how much even he could control. If she turned out to be a psycho, he could only throw his hands up in resignation.
