The Martial Unity

"The director of the Kandrian Border Patrol Force isn't the only individual interested in meeting you," His secretary remarked. "Miss Mikhaila has already compiled a list of inquiries and appointments expressing credible interest and their prior engagements in the Kandrian Throne War as per research conducted by the intelligence division."

She placed a document before him, which quickly revealed itself to be a compilation of reports on those who had reached out to the newly officially founded Rui Faction. Within it were chairmen, Martial Artists, organizations, corporations, and even some government officials.

"…Woah!" Rui murmured when he came across a name that was familiar yet new. "Bradt-Decker Political Venture Capital Guild? What the heck is this?"

He recognized the two names, but he had never heard of this guild ever before.

"Officially, it is a guild that was founded by Guildmaster Bradt and Chairman Decker Byrnes of the Shionel Confederation as a consortium of like-minded politically interested merchants who would collectively pool their money and invest in political candidates, politicians and members of monarchies to aid them in coming to power, however…" She remarked as she placed another file before him. "Director Vering believes that Guildmaster Bradt and Chairman Decker have created this consortium with the specific intention of supporting you."

Rui read through the report that his new director of intelligence had quickly put together to explain her analysis of the new political venture capital guild. By relying on things such as Guildmaster Bradt's prior failed proposal in the Shionel Merchant Guild and the subsequent forming of the political venture capital guild shortly after Rui's identity was revealed, as well as Guildmaster Bradt's prior engagements with Rui, there was an exceptionally high probability that this new consortium existed for the sole purpose of supporting Rui.

"Director Vering is indeed highly competent an analyst," Rui smiled. "Because her analysis is exactly on the money."

He agreed with her analysis that Guildmaster Bradt had probably created this organization with the intention of approaching Rui as a whole. His identity as the Guildmaster of the Shionel Confederation and the chairman of Bradt Distribution Services was no longer enough in and of itself to draw out the best concessions in return from Rui.
