Preparations

Rui needed to exert an immense amount of self-control to ensure that he didn't give away his intentions through his reactions. Thankfully, his Martial Mind was stronger than theirs; thus, they couldn't sense his intentions directly the way that he could theirs. In other words, he wasn't a liability to his own mission given to him by his father.

However, it didn't change the fact that he needed to comply.

"I'm willing to peacefully adhere to the legal protocol of the Panamic Martial Federation," Rui reassured. "I hope the Panamic Martial Federation will, however, grant me the grace of retrieving my clothes and belongings."

"Of course." The lead Martial Master nodded. "You shall be treated in a manner befitting an exalted Martial Master."

Rui fell into thought as he quickly prepared himself for what was to come.

In ordinary circumstances, he had plenty of reason to be extremely wary of his current predicament.
