The Martial Unity

Chapter 2069 Seeking Freedom

It had been five days since Rui's return to the Kandrian Empire.

He had hoped for some peace upon his return back home, but largely thanks to Reina, he had been greeted with a mess that gave the Beast Domain a run for its money.

Instead of dealing with important things, he was left busy putting out the many things that she had set on fire to satisfy her boredom. Of course, while he resented her for making his life hard, he was grateful to her for covering for him for three years upon his request. She had still largely been of great help despite her many little pranks on him.

The Martial Union settled down after his return and victory in the duel and wager. While many Martial Masters were not entirely satisfied with the outcome, none of them voiced any complaints and piped down when it came to the matter regarding Rui's punishments.

Things would have been very dicey had he been a Martial Senior, but as a Martial Master who was extremely powerful from the very get-go, most of them did not have the right to even complain.

Unbeknownst to them, Rui had been cooking a pleasant surprise.

Rui had also been made aware of the many rumors of him that had been spreading about his breakthrough to the Master Realm in the Kandrian Empire and even outside. Given that he had educated himself on the deteriorating international relations in the past three years, he knew that this development was most likely not going to be pleasant.

Unlike the youngest Martial Senior, the youngest Martial Master meant something. Martial Masters had the power to affect the balance of power even between Sage-level powerhouses.

Rui predicted, much to his own chagrin, that the probability of the three other powerhouses of East Panama taking action to nip a future threat was, unfortunately, not zero.

This was part of standard operations.

Extraordinary Seniors were usually potential Masters.
