The Martial Unity

"Good," Rui narrowed his eyes. "I need to appeal to as many people as I need to for my plan."

"Yes, sir," His secretary nodded knowingly.

The only hiring of which Rui had personally partaken was that of his secretary; he had even chosen a candidate who, while extremely qualified, was not the very best because her background was fully transparent. In the past three months, he had fully vetted her time and time again with Martial Masters and had placed her under permanent surveillance.

This was because he needed her to be aware of his intentions. Otherwise, the probability of someone finding out would be much higher if she was not aware enough to cooperate with him.

Regardless, she wasn't kidding about his speech having made waves. By the time Rui even returned back to his office in the town of Hajin, large developments had already occurred.

"The Martial Union has made a hundred billion gold donation along with the announcement of its official patronage to the Rui Faction," His secretary murmured, shocked.

The report shook Rui.

"What?!" Rui's eyes widened.

A hundred billion gold was an astronomical amount of wealth. For the Martial Union to make that donation as a whole organization and not from individual sects was an incredible start.

"And you said the Martial Union as a whole made that donation and officially announced its support of me?" Rui's eyes widened. "That's…incredible!"
