Kapitel 1967: Mindful Advantage

Rui snorted at Kane's words. "That man figured this out a long time ago."

"What?" Kane stared at him. "Why didn't he say anything?"

"He would have if I was a Martial Master," Rui quietly replied, detached. "His interest in me drastically reduced after I informed him that I was neither a Martial Master nor willing to let him poke around my brain. He did well to hide it and mask it with real fascination about my mind, but he was definitely a little disappointed that I wasn't a Martial Master."

"That's why he didn't tell us what you just figured out?"

"Yes," Rui replied. "Because it is highly likely that to clear this dungeon…"

Rui's dark eyes sharpened chillingly. "…one needs to be a Martial Master to have a real chance of success."

"How can you possibly know that when you've been here for like fifteen minutes?" Kane stared at him.
