The Martial Unity

Chapter 2010 The Truth

Yet, his proposition was sound despite his insane antics.

Rui closed his eyes as he considered the commission that the Divine Doctor had made of him.

A commission to help the Divine Doctor with the diagnosis of Gaia's alleged illness. As the sole Martial Master in the entire world who had gained the enlightenment of the Tree of Life, Rui was the only Martial Master who could help the

It was an appealing commission.

It was true that Rui needed to expose himself to the world to truly fulfill Project Water in an absolute sense. Thus, he did not need to derail his life in order to fulfill the Divine Doctor's commission.

Furthermore, the Divine Doctor had specified that there were absolutely no limiting conditions on the commission as long as Rui helped him find the diagnosis.

Not even time was a limiting factor since the Divine Doctor had an eternity ahead of him. He had extreme patience, psychologically speaking. This was a man who saw no problem with spending more than a decade traveling through the Beast Domain by foot to reach the Mellow in the south, a journey that had taken Rui and Kane three months.

He wouldn't mind if Rui took more than a century to fulfill this commission.

In other words, it was so loose and relaxed that it could hardly be called a commission.

Additionally, Rui knew that accepting this commission was necessary to get the Divine Doctor to remain in Kandria as a citizen and a practicing doctor in return for both the Silas Clan's services and the Elder Tree communication network.

If the doctor remained, it would benefit all of Kandria. All of the people in his life that he cared about could indirectly benefit significantly. He could make sure the children and people of the orphanage were in optimal health. He could potentially get Julian an apprenticeship with the greatest doctor in all of Panama.

Who knew? The Divine Doctor could potentially help him with integrating Primordial Seed into his body with his extraordinary medical knowledge and capabilities.

"…If you're willing to accept a small favor every now and then, sure," Rui casually replied. "I'll accept your commission."

Kandria was far too much of a safe space.
