The Martial Unity

From just a single piece of information and nothing else, Rui had stacked deduction upon deduction, inference upon inference, and probability upon probability, narrowing his suspect list to four broad culprits.

"I would include the Royal Emperor as well, but…" Rui shook his head. "He could just employ the Royal Corps. He is the only one who possesses the power to face the Martial Union head-on without any reason to fear. Also, he has no reason or motive. Not to mention, he's in no state and has infinitely more things to worry about."

That was why Rui deemed the probability of the Emperor being the culprit.

"Not to mention, if he wanted me dead…I'd be dead," Rui chuckled.

Not even the Martial Union could stop or deter him—not unless they assigned him a Martial Sage as a bodyguard around the clock.

"Those are the extent of simple initial thoughts," Rui summed up his extensive and elaborate chain of logical deduction, inference, and induction. "I'll form more detailed correlative models on my death-wishers as time passes and form more rigorous evaluations of probability by correlating them with the modus operandi of the three prime suspects.

Master Reina and Gurren stared at him, dumbfounded and amazed.

"That's…incredible," Master Gurren admitted.

"So, what now?" Master Reina asked, curious about where this was going to go.

"Well, I'll have to wait and see," Rui smirked. "Inform them that the Voidreaper has accepted their commission."

Master Reina smirked, amused. "I knew it was the right choice to come to the Kandrian Empire. I've been so goddamn bored in the Shadow Isles ever since you exterminated the assassination industry."

"You didn't consider visiting Master Zeamer?" Rui smirked.
