('Tsk, he has too much power,') Rui tutted.
That statement was true in many ways.
Not only was guardian Tokugawa stronger than he had expected, but he also probably had a lot of power and influence within the Floating Sect.
Being the strongest guardian meant that he did have a lot of influence within the sect, second to only the three Martial Seniors.
Furthermore, the Floating Sect was in a state of absolute war, people like Tokugawa Ieyasu were absolute treasures whose value was second only to, again, the Martial Seniors of the sect.
That was why Rui knew that he could probably get away with killing Kane if he wanted to. The Floating Sect was not going to punish the only individual Martial Squire that was a threat to Martial Seniors without their Martial Heart during the war.
This was the kind of influence he gained from being that strong.
