The Rise Of A Porter

"Now if your little magic trick is over, would you like to dance?" Someone's familiar and polite voice asked.

Arnold turned around, to see Alice, EL and a few others were standing behind them. It was Alice who had invited him to dance.

​​

"Sorry but I'm busy." Arnold replied and turned his back on them.

"Arnold we just want to talk." EL spoke up.

Arnold ignored them and continued chatting with Nathan like nothing happened. The others however kept standing there. Soon everyone in the club started noticing this which made Nathan uncomfortable.

Nathan couldn't take it anymore and blurted out. "Go an see what they want. I don't want any drama here okay?"

"Sorry for the trouble. I'll be back soon." Arnold apologised and turned towards his former guild mates, "What do you guys want? Can't a guy have a peaceful evening without you breathing down on his neck."

"Look we know that you think that the guild or even us had something to do with the attack on your sister but I spoke to my dad, and he didn't knew anything about it." Alice replied in her squeaky voice.

Arnold smirked. "Yeah sure. Anything else?"

"I'm serious, Arnold. My dad would never lie to me." Alice pressed on, "I genuinely think there has been some kind of misunderstanding."

"Exactly! What would we gain by kidnapping your sick sister." Lance joined in.

"What do you mean my 'sick' sister? You think I'm the same guy who'd take sh*t from anyone?" Arnold took a step towards him but Alice came in between them.

"Arnold he didn't mean it like that-"

"Let 'me' tell you what exactly happened. Your sh*tty guild was responsible for hiring a legitimate nurse for Nicole's treatment and the one they hired tried to kidnap her. And don't you dare talk BS about that it was a mistake, because I know very well how much the guilds inquire about their potential employees and thoroughly check their background before appointing them.

"And the only ones who had the power to neglect these rules were either The President or The Vice President. So if you still think that your 'innocent' and 'just' father didn't knew anything about it, then open your eyes princess, this world isn't some fairy tale fantasy where everything you think gets true.

"Now if you'll excuse me I have some company tonight. Bye-bye and I hope I never get to see your shi*ty faces again."

After saying what he had to, Arnold turned around once again hoping to cool down before he completely lost it and ended up doing something that he'd regret later, but before he could take a single step away from them, someone grabbed his shoulder.

"Who do you think you are to talk so arrogantly to my team huh, you low levelled worm!"

Arnold looked at a man he had never seen before in his life. Most probably a new guy was an added to the team after he left the guild. He quickly used his [PROBE] skill on him, turns out the guy barely qualified as a B ranker, his strength and other attributes were more like someone who was ranked at C+. Most probably he was newly awakened. Even Arnold's strength stats was higher than that of this guy.

Arnold grabbed on to the new guy's hand and forcefully pulled it off him, "Who are calling a worm, you f*cking MAGGOT!"

Arnold shouted and the entire group of his former guild mates was surrounded by his golems and lava hounds. The DJ stopped the music and everyone backed off. Seeing that the situation was going out of hand, Nathan, Joshua and the others stepped in.

"What the hell happened here?" Nathan asked Arnold, who didn't reply but kept staring at the guy who had called him a worm.

"You! Tell me what the hell is going on here?" Joshua asked EL.

"Sorry it's our fault, one of our members didn't liked the way Arnold addressed us so he went kind of overboard and said something he shouldn't have. I apologise for the commotion." Alice quickly realised that they were the members of the Black Family and tried to diffuse the situation before it got worse.

"I'm sorry but you're no longer welcomed here. This club is funded by the Black Family and if you have any problems with them, means you have a problem with us. I'm afraid I'd have to ask you and your friends to leave immediately." Michelle intervened, "Further you've been banned from ever entering this club again."

"We'll do so, I'm sorry for the trouble." Alice said and Arnold finally let go of the new guy's hand. Just as they were about to exit the club, the new guy pointed his middle finger at Arnold which ticked him off, but Arnold knew Nathan wouldn't let him do anything about it so he did what he thought would be the best thing to do at the moment.

Arnold ordered one of his hounds to follow the new guy. No one noticed it as they were all busy discussing about what had happened there a couple of minutes ago. He then recalled every other summon.

"Are you okay?" Orla asked Arnold.

"Never been better." A sinister smile appeared on Arnold's face.
