The Martial Unity

Rui simply stared at him impassively.

Unfortunately, the Divine Doctor was too sharp to be fooled by ambiguity, covering up the fact that the Divine Doctor didn't owe anything to him. It was also unfortunate that he was quite correct. Rui's plan did need him; he had no confidence that Kane alone would be able to incapacitate the source of the manifold by himself.

"You're not entirely correct," Rui chillingly replied. "My plan doesn't need you as much as it needs me. Without me, there is no plan. Without you, however, the plan can not only function but also have the possibility of escape."

This was also undeniable.

The most difficult part of breaking out of the manifold was dealing with the Master-level beast guarding the dungeon.

And Rui was the only possibility of doing that.

This was something that not even the Divine Doctor could deny.

"Be that as it may," the man remarked with a hint of smugness. "The fact that I am required is enough for me to deny any demand in return for breaking out of the manifold. What I offer is more than sufficient service in return for breaking it, for it is something you would rather do with me than without."

This, in turn, was something that Rui had to admit as well. The man was contributing too much for Rui to demand anything in return; he just didn't have the leverage.

"Can't we just threaten him with death?" Kane scratched his head. "Not that I'm suggesting we do that, of course. But fear of death lights a fire under the ass, you know?"
