The Martial Unity Chapter 959 Targets

Rui discussed a few more matters before wrapping up the discussion and leaving. He didn't have ti to chitchat with Commissioner Reze about irrelevant matters. He knew that there were so things that he needed to do before he could fulfill his plan.

However, once they were done, he could imdiately set out.

anwhile, Chairman Deacon had not been sitting still either.

With a large proportion of Deacon Industries' intelligence departnt furiously scouring the entirety of the Shionel Confederation for Rui Quarrier, they had managed to cover a large amount of ground in a very short amount of ti.

On top of that, there were a lot of retroactive analyses conducted on existing data on the Voider when re-analyzed in context with Rui Quarrier being the pri candidate. It was difficult to find absolute and incontrovertible proof that Rui Quarrier was the Voider if he really was the Voider, however, if he wasn't the Voider, then it would be a lot easier to prove that he wasn't.

It seed counter-intuitive, however, soone who was the Voider would certainly hide evidence indicating that they were the Voider. Soone who wasn't the Voider would not hide evidence that they were not the Voider.

This key difference ant that the evidence for the latter was easier to find than evidence for the forr, especially when the forr was clearly good at leaving behind no evidence.

Thus, if Rui Quarrier was not the Voider, chances were that there would be sothing or the other that strongly and reliably indicated that they were not the Voider.

Deep down in his heart, Chairman Deacon knew that Rui was the Voider, but he still had retained enough rationality to trust his intelligence departnt's verdict regardless.

"However, we have found absolutely no indication that Rui Quarrier and Voider may not be the sa person," The deputy director of the intelligence departnt of Deacon Industries inford Chairman Deacon. "This is rather odd since we have been able to disqualify almost all other B-rank Martial Squires from being candidates for the Voider even when we disregard the fact that they are too weak to be the Voider given how strong the Voider likely is. However, it truly is odd that we have been unable to confirm Rui Quarrier and Kane Arrancar's presence outside the Shionel Dungeon during tis when we know for a fact that the Voider was inside the dungeon."

Chairman Deacon's eyes narrowed. "That's rather odd if they had no connection."I think you should take a look at

"Yes sir. In fact, in the nine months that Rui Quarrier has been in the Shionel Dungeon, not once have we been able to confirm that he was anywhere outside the dungeon during tis when we are certain the Voider was within the dungeon. Furthermore, the earliest confird Voider raid of the Shionel Dungeon occurred just a few days after Rui Quarrier and Kane Arrancar entered the Shionel Confederation."

"Hm," Chairman Deacon grew more certain of what he already knew. "Any other suspicious patterns?"

"Yes sir, the number of hours that Rui Quarrier and Kane Arrancar have spent in the dungeon in nine months is lower than ninety-nine-point-eight percent of all Martial Squires in the Shionel Confederation," the deputy director ntioned. "Now there isn't inherently anything suspicious about spending only a few hours on average every day in the Shionel Dungeon, there can be corroborating circumstances with that, but the question does arise of what they do in the remaining part of the day. According to the innkeepers of the inn that they have resided in, they're gone for almost all of the day, most days."

"And on top of that, they mysteriously did not return to the inn after the Voider left the final floor of the Shionel Dungeon, despite not having entered the dungeon according to the logs," Chairman Deacon narrowed his eyes. "It's been a few days since then, and they still haven't returned. Furthermore, their last log is that of them exiting the dungeon, thus there is no way they died in the Shionel Dungeon."

The intelligence deputy director nodded in agreent. "True, sir. All these little unlikely coincidences that we have noticed in hindsight truly co together to paint the picture that you're certain about. However, this isn't absolute proof."

"The only reason I insisted on a grounds-up analysis on the prospects of Rui Quarrier being the core behind the Voider was to see if I was blatantly wrong, but everything I hear and see simply further confirms what I have already co to know," Chairman Deacon growled. "Given that Rui Quarrier has not been sighted since before the clearing of the Root Floor, and has seemingly mysteriously vanished, it would be explained if he was aware that he has sohow beco exposed to us. In that case, searching for him may very well be futile if he has already left the Shionel Confederation. It will be exceedingly difficult to investigate his whereabouts, especially considering he has so form of stealth."

The intelligence deputy director nodded. "I am inclined to agree, sir. Manual investigation given how little information we have is impractical. This is especially true considering the Voider has connections with Guildmaster Bradt Patrick, which ans they do have an ally capable of evading our surveillance."

"In that case, we can focus on other thods," Chairman Deacon noted. "The background check revealed that he lives in an orphanage that he was born and brought up in, have our Kandrian office branch in the Kandrian Empire deploy our regional Martial Apprentices to abduct them covertly. Leave behind a covert ssage of sorts that he should understand. He'll definitely realize what is happening, and given that the report indicates that he cares for them, he'll be forced to bargain for them. I'll make him suffer through them."

Chairman Deacon found it to be a pity that Rui didn't have a son, he would have been able to inflict the sa that he had been subjected to by Rui.

"Ah well," He growled. "A mother will have to do. I'm going to have his eyes pried open with force so he doesn't miss the things that I do to her in front of him."
