The Rise Of A Porter

The President's face appeared on the Jake's communicator, "Have you succeeded? Have the targets been dealt with?" he said with a frown on his face. The man was clear under a lot of stress.

Jake nodded his head and explained what had happened near the Vice President's office. "Two of the S ranked warriors have been dealt with, but I think you already know they aren't the only ones who came through the roof. The surveillance cameras have been destroyed so it'll be a little difficult for us to track their movement."

​​

"That's a great news! Even Johnny wouldn't be able to handle all of us together. You've done a great job." The President's eyes lit up, and the stress on his face completely disappeared. He had been anxious and worried about the attack but now, his mind was at peace. Upon thinking about the possibility of defeating the Black Family, his mood was instantly lifted.

"I'll head up to the surveillance room right now and inspect the area." Jake said.

"No! Come back here at once. As long as we are able to occupy that SS ranked bast*rd's a*s here, our forces would soon overpower them and then the Black Family would be finished, once and for all." The President smirked, "Those bast*rds thought they can do whatever they want to us, it's time to make them regret their actions. After we're done with them here, we'll mobilise our forces and attack the Black Family head on."

"You've surprised me Jake," The vice president interrupted the conversation, "I'm glad my daughter chose someone of your caliber to be her lover, and not that good for nothing Porter. I'll never know why Noah was so dead set on helping that Porter, I mean, sure his abilities were rare but there was no need to give him so many privileges. Hell, he even made me, force my daughter to try and entice him.

"When all of this is wrapped up, let's have a family dinner together. I'll have to announce your engagement soon! Haha, just finish everything up and come on up. We're waiting near the chamber behind Noah's office."

"Yes, Mr vice president. It'll be an honour for me." Jake smiled and disconnected the call.

Talos, who had transformed into Jake looked at Arnold. He had listened the entire conversation and was seething with unadulterated rage. His eyes had a tinge of red glow in them. He was like a volcano, which could explode at any moment.

"Change of plans. We kill EVERYONE who is in that ROOM." Arnold bellowed.

"Hey hey hey, we need the President alive. We him or the Vice President so that we can get to know why they attacked Nina and the others." Azyriah tried to calm him down.

"She's right Arnold. I know you're pissed but don't let it cloud your judgement. We have to complete the mission." Kolt joined in, but it felt like their words were bouncing off, off his ears.

"Fine... I'll kill the vice president instead."

Azyriah wanted to protest, but Kolt her back. He knew exactly what Arnold was capable to do. After all he had slaughtered Jake on his own. There was a little that they could do if Arnold had made up his mind.

*****

AN HOUR LATER, INSIDE THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET ROOM.

"Jake! Where the hell have you been all this time." The president spoke up, as Jake entered the secret chamber that was hidden behind The President's office.

"Nothing Mr President, I just had to sort out a couple of things downstairs." Jake replied, as he threw Arnold into the room, "A rat was snooping around."

"Oh, welcome back to the guild Mr Ling, please excuse our improper hospitality, after all, this battle wouldn't have taken place in the first place if it wasn't for you." Noah, the President, smiled brightly. "But soon this battle will end and so will the Black Family. And it's all thanks to you. Haha!"

"I hope you're not planning on keeping him alive as a trophy." John asked Noah, "This guy is troublesome, it'll better just to kill him off."

Arnold looked around the room, Noah, John, Alice, EL, Maya, and a few others were inside the room, looking down on Arnold.

"I think I'll kill him once we get hold of his sister. He should at least see his sister one last time." Noah smirked, "Or should I kill you right away. Ugh, I can't decide what to do."

Noah then grabbed Arnold's neck and lifted him up in the air and threw him near John. Arnold was like a ball they were playing around with.

'Just wait a bit more... they'll be here soon. It's not the right time...' Arnold thought.

"You could've attained a lot only if you sacrificed your worthless sister... tsk. What can we do now? You had your chance but you blew it. You'd have been quite a good addition to our team." John said and looked at EL, "EL, would you like to do the honours and get rid of him?"

Without any remorse in his eyes, EL took out his sword and walked up to Arnold. "Thank you for helping me back in the dungeon, I wouldn't have made it out without you. I'd have apologised for what I'm about to do but what can I do? I don't have a family backing me up, so I can't just walk out of the guild like you did. But Rest in peace, if you can find it."

EL got in position and lifted his sword to end Arnold's life once and for all, but right before he was about to do it, a bullet pierced his hand. Arnold moved like lightning, picked up the sword and stabbed it into EL's chest.

"Good thing you cleared it out, otherwise I'd have felt a little bit uncomfortable killing you." Arnold smirked kicking EL aside. "You thought you could kill me? Don't make me laugh!"

Everyone inside the room was shocked by the sudden change in Arnold's aura, but that wasn't the only thing that had caught their attention, as they looked at the one who fired the bullet at EL.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING JAKE!" Noah bellowed in disbelief. Why would his most loyal soldier betray him? But before they could ask him anything, the doors were ripped open as Johnny, Aydan, Azyriah and Kolt entered the room.

"You see, you're the ones who are about to get hunted down." Arnold smirked in disgust as he summoned all of his summons, "I've been waiting for a long time to do this."
