Chapter 1341 Inadequate
She considered his words for a moment, understanding what he meant.
"We do possess access to techniques in the fields of mind and assassination, however, those techniques require training and growth resources that we do not have access to," She explained. "As for primordial seed, I do not recognize the name, however, I have already transmitted a message to gather all the information we have on it."
Rui considered her earlier words. "So you're saying the techniques you have are not of much use by themselves?"
She nodded. "We can still provide you with them if you want, however, it would be a challenge to make use of them."
"Then... can I also purchase information on places across the continent for Senior-level growth and training resources?" Rui asked. "I intend to train and develop my Martial Art alongside the operations and missions I complete for the Beggar's Sect."
Ideally, he hoped to travel around to different places where he had the opportunity to grow stronger, similar to what he had done as a Martial Squire after leaving the Shionel Confederation while also completing missions in these various regions. That would be the best approach in his opinion.
It was definitely far better than sitting in one place and completing the same kinds of missions over and over again while trying to squeeze his creativity to pump out good techniques over and over without giving it any inspiration of any kind.
A wealth of experiences was the foundation for good imagination and creativity, it served as ammunition for good ideas. On top of that, he wanted to expose himself to what it was actually like to be a Martial Senior in this world, something he had yet to truly do.
"You have the freedom to go about how you intend to complete your commission payment however you want," She noted. "But the intelligence that you requested will only be delivered after you complete your commission payment in its entirety. We do not mind supplying the other pieces of information you have requested pre-payment, but that does not apply to the intelligence surrounding Chairman Deacon."
Rui nodded. "That's reasonable."
It was essentially to make sure that Rui didn't just renege on their deal if he got the intelligence he wanted, while the other pieces of information were less important and valuable in comparison, thus there was no harm in supplying them to him before he made the payment for them.
It wasn't long before the door opened another person stepped in with documents, handing them over to Sian before leaving.
"These documents contain the information you were seeking." She remarked, handing them over to Rui. "But you'll have to sign another contract before we can hand them over to you."
Thankfully, many of the terms and conditions could be carried over from the previous one, which allowed both sides to get done with their business.
"It was a pleasure doing business with you," Sian shook his hand as they got up. "Please prepare a list of your general competencies and areas of expertise so that we can tailor and recommend operations and missions to suit your strengths and capabilities. Of course, you're free to reject them and pursue other operations and missions as long as you are competent enough in the necessary and relevant fields, but you will be able to complete missions fastest if you abide by our recommendations."
Rui considered that, shrugging. "I am not averse to that, but I do intend on expanding my skillset during my travels, so I may choose to go against your recommendations."
"That is your prerogative." She remarked lightly. "Now then, if you do not have any further business, our meeting here has concluded. Once again, it was a pleasure doing business with you."
Rui nodded. "I have one last question."
Sian simply stared at him, waiting.
"When you said you were tasked with evaluating my power and my character, would your judgment of the latter have impacted the willingness of the Beggar's Sect to complete transactions with me?" Rui wondered with curiosity.
"Of course," She replied. "We do not engage in business with individuals who cannot be trusted as well as unstable elements, or parties that we are in a hostile relationship with. On the other hand, we welcome independent Martial Artists who are willing to provide services that we need in exchange for information and intelligence that only we can provide. We judged you to be of the latter sort, hence the smooth transaction."
lightsnοvεl.cοm Rui figured there was more to it. it was probably the fact that he displayed a calm and composed temperament despite having much to be frustrated by while he was guided by her.
Too many Martial Artists were unstable and thus untrustworthy, people like him were probably breaths of fresh air to organizations like the Beggar's Sect.
Rui bid her goodbye, carrying the documents with him as he left the book market. and the Derimont Bazaar at large without anybody displaying even a hint of suspicion towards him. The book market was as ignored as always, and the foreign affairs department of the Saiful branch of the Beggar's Sect continued to operate in broad daylight without anybody ever realizing their presence.
It was actually incredibly impressive.
'Just how many people enter the Derimont Bazaar with the same interest in the Beggar's Sect as me only to completely walk past it and ignore it when they first reach the Derimont Bazaar, thinking that the Beggar's Sect would be buried deep within the Derimont Bazaar?'
Probably all of them, seeing as how the book market had probably yet to be exposed as a base for the sect.
Based on the competencies that they had displayed, he now understood how the sect managed to foil a Kandrian princess of all people in a nation that held intelligence gathering safeguarding to extremely high standards even across the nation. He was also certain that they would succeed in bringing him the information he sought so that he could kill his greatest enemy.
