The Martial Unity

Chapter 2190  Leaving Considerations

Rui's eyes widened as she pronounced her judgment and sentence on him.

He did not expect her to sentence him to exile and banishment. From this day forth, he would not be able to return to the Panamic Martial Federation ever again. In addition, he would never be able to access any of their resources or capital, not to mention join any of their constituents.

If not for the fact that he was already a part of the Martial Union, he would not have been able to remain in it either. In other words, he was cut off from many of the most powerful Martial organizations, resources, and networks. Not to mention that he had no ability to influence laws that he would be subject to without any protection from its provisions.

He heaved a soft sigh, shaking his head. It was hardly pleasant; however, there was nothing that he could do about it.

In his case, he thankfully was someone who trained and grew stronger in a way that wasn't too affected by this outcome. However, being denied access to the incredible training resources was something that definitely hurt.

Under normal circumstances, he would be much more troubled by the loss of access to all these resources. But strangely enough, he wasn't too moved by it. After all…

'I have the Kandrian Empire.'

It was as simple as that.

With its current trajectory, it was possible that the Kandrian Empire would one day be able to give him everything that the Panamic Martial Federation could. As long as they won the war and were able to consolidate their gains, the things he lost by indulging his grudge in the Federation would be reattained within the Kandrian Empire.

However, not everybody took his sentencing as well as he did, ironically enough.

"Your Sagehood…!" The Master tasked with watching over him grew stunned at her choice.

However, Sage Kole looked unapologetic. "And with that, this case is concluded. Escort Master Rui out of here and out of the Panamic Martial Federation."

"Your Sagehood!" The Master refused to relent. "This sentence is—!"

He froze as a tsunami of perilous power crashed on him, leaving him entirely paralyzed.

"You are merely a guard in this hall." Her soft yet sharp voice grew. "Know your place."

The man gritted his teeth as he bowed his head softly before turning to glare at Rui as he escorted him away as he was told.

Sage Kole rolled away in her wheelchair nonchalantly.

"Er, Your Sagehood, there are more cases awaiting your judgment." One Master frowned. "…They are no longer of my concern," she remarked as she slowly left the judging hall.

She had several urgent matters to get to as soon as possible.

Rui, on the other hand, immediately began descending after collecting his belongings. His exile was immediately in effect; thus, he was to leave at once. Yet, it wasn't even so bad when he knew that the Panamic Martial Federation would be more pissed off than he was.

He couldn't even imagine how many people would be deeply displeased by Sage Kole's decision. Many of them were hoping to use this as an opportunity to squeeze all the juicy secrets of the Kandrian Empire out of him.

"What a wonderful day it is…" he commented with a smile as he descended from atop the massive tectonic plate that cradled the eastern headquarters of the Panamic Martial Federation, admiring the vast expanses of land and water that stretched out far in the distance.

He had overstayed his visit to the Panamic Martial Federation more than expected. Thus, he knew that his transport was already gone.

"Oh well, time to go by foot."

He surged off into the distance as he thought of Sage Kole.

"I wonder how long it will take for her to come," he remarked to himself.

He knew that resigning from being a judge and leaving the Panamic Martial Federation was something that could not be done within a day. However, as a Martial Sage, there was probably little that stood in her way of quitting.

Even if she was crippled, the Panamic Martial Federation was fundamentally structured with Martial Artists in mind. Thus, there was no one that had authority over her as a Martial Sage. As such, she would undoubtedly make her way to the Kandrian Empire very shortly. In that case, he ought to go on ahead without needing to wait for too long.

He immediately set off back home towards the Kandrian Empire without much concern. All in all, things didn't get as bad as they could have, and that alone was worth celebrating. On top of that, he finally managed to get revenge and kill Uma and took a step toward the Sage Realm.

Furthermore, he had succeeded in the mission that his father had given him.

With this, the Kandrian Empire would have procured a part of the power that it needed. Assuming that the other Martial Sages had also succeeded, this ensured that the Sage-level power of the Empire would rise to much greater levels.

Considering that Martial Sages were the most important part of any war between Sage-level nations, it was no wonder that his father was so determined to get as many Martial Sages to join Kandria and swear loyalty to the throne or the Martial Union.

All in all, things were most likely on track.

Which meant that war was most likely not too far from breaking out.

After all, it had been a month since he had started breaking Apprentices through. Since then, he had no doubt that the other three Sage-level powerhouses had been breaking their backs trying to learn of the secret. Eventually, they would decide that enough was enough and simply attack the Kandrian Empire. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Furthermore, they hadn't even run into the other treasures of the Kandrian Empire yet. The moment they did, they would very soon realize that they should have waged war from the very start. When considering all these variables, there were hard limits on how much more time war could be delayed.

"A few months, no more." Rui's eyes narrowed.

He couldn't wait.
