From just a single piece of information and nothing else, Rui had stacked deduction upon deduction, inference upon inference, and probability upon probability, narrowing his suspect list to four broad culprits.
"I would include the Royal Emperor as well, but…" Rui shook his head. "He could just employ the Royal Corps. He is the only one who possesses the power to face the Martial Union head-on without any reason to fear. Also, he has no reason or motive. Not to mention, he's in no state and has infinitely more things to worry about."
That was why Rui deemed the probability of the Emperor being the culprit.
"Not to mention, if he wanted me dead…I'd be dead," Rui chuckled.
Not even the Martial Union could stop or deter him—not unless they assigned him a Martial Sage as a bodyguard around the clock.
