The Martial Unity

The Rui Faction began setting up at a remarkable speed. Just a month after announcing his bid for the throne, the core foundations had been established.

He employed his wealth to purchase a massive high-end business complex at the heart of the Town of Hajin that could comfortably fit his new staff comprised of hundreds of members initially, due to accommodate thousands, eventually.

With the hundreds of billions of credits from his Hungry Pain contribution and the billions of gold that he had gotten from his deal with Prince Raijun, it was no effort to purchase what he needed to get his hands on.

Once his staff got to work, the speed of growth of the infant incomplete faction was high.

Very rapidly, a financial division was hired that was given some authority in the accounts of the Rui Foundation. This team would handle various mundane financial matters such as calculating budget, estimating expenditures, and documenting taxes, among other things. Rui did not want to so much as dip a toe in this matter because of how astonishingly boring and mind-numbing it was.

That was why ensuring the man in charge was competent and trustworthy was important.

"So, Mr. Dolius Meafeau, I read that you were the chairman of the top venture capital guilds in the nation before you retired," Rui remarked casually. "Why apply to my faction for the position of director of finance?"

The elderly man smiled. "I retired shortly after the debacle of the Shionel Dungeon. It was one of the most exciting econopolitical tussles that I have ever witnessed in my entire career. At the time, I didn't know who the Voider was, but he had earned my deepest appreciation and admiration. And now, the Voider has bid for the throne. My instinct tells me that this is not an event that I want to watch from the sidelines."

A small hint of mischief cracked at the end of his smile. "It also would not be bad to be appointed as the Finance Minister of the nation."

He was incredibly qualified. No one with his education, experience, and accolades would apply for the lowly position of director of finance of any ordinary organization.

But he did so for Rui's faction.
