Considerations

Rui and Kane had decided to proceed with absolute caution. They abandoned their inn and all the belongings in it permanently. Rui had decided that it was simply not worth returning anywhere near that inn.

Most of the time they traveled via Void Step, otherwise, they had retreated to one of the safehouses of the Martial Union for now.

"Have you considered our offer?" Commissioner Reze asked, throwing a pointed look toward Rui.

Rui didn't respond immediately.

Some time ago, Commissioner Reze had made an offer to Rui in the event that his identity was revealed. An offer to protect him and his family from the Underworld and Chairman Deacon, as well as the various foreign and international forces that Rui had pissed off.

In return, Rui was to become an internal member of the Martial Union and offer complete subordination to the Martial Union.

Rui was not stupid, he knew that the consequences of having his identity exposed were not something he could handle by himself.
