The Rise Of A Porter

Chapter 23 - Part Of The Family



"Nancy Williams, reporting live from West Avenue, the location where the all out war between two warriors took place about an hour ago. You can guess the power of the participating parties by the amount of destruction caused..."

The journalists soon arrived at the 'crime scene' like a moth to a flame and were busy reciting their own version of what happened there. Police had also arrived there and were gathering evidence and statements from Arnold, Nicole and the members of black knights however the police wasn't able to uncover Nikki's true identity. It was like she never existed in the world, so all they could do was to question Arnold and the others. Warriors fighting amongst themselves was a rare occurrence and hence both police and the journalists were taking it quite seriously. ​ ​

From the statements of Arnold and Nicole, it was clear that Nikki was about to kidnap Nicole but before she could Arnold stopped her and then a fight between him and 'Bob' commenced. Even though it was an act of self defense, Arnold was still a 'murderer', they had to arrest him but black knights were having none of it. In their eyes whatever Arnold did was right and just. It looked like another war was about to begin between the police force and the black knights, a car broke through police's barricade and stopped between the police force and the members of Black Knights guild. A lone person stepped out of the black Lamborghini. Every member of Black Knights immediately kneeled before this guy. The guy however was uninterested in them and turned to face the chief of police who was in charge of the case.

The place which was bustling with noise, got silent real quick even the journalists and reporters who were shouting at the top of their lungs, stopped reporting and stood quietly in a corner. This was the power of a SS rank warrior, not to mention the only SS ranked warrior of America, John Miller, also known as Johnny Black... the ace of the Black Family. His powers were legendary and included shape-shifting, regeneration, and what not! He rarely left the mansion in which Black Family lived in and only worked under the orders from the leader or the director of Black Knights. Defeating someone like The A team of Flying Swords was child's play for him. No wonder everyone got quite the moment he stepped out of the car.

"What are you planning to do, Officer?" Johnny asked in his deep manly voice.

The Chief of police cleared his throat. "I'm afraid Mr. Ling has murdered someone, even if it was for self-defense we'll have to arrest him and the court of law would decide the punishment for his crimes."

"I agree." Johnny nodded, "But you see there's an issue with that... I don't see any Mr. Ling here."

"He's standing right there! Behind the members of your guild."

"Oh You're talking about him! Sorry but as far as I know, he isn't Mr. Ling. His name is Mr. Black and he is part of my family."

Everyone was shocked. The reporters who were quite a moment ago, started reporting the new turn of events. The members of Black Knights guild were also surprised by this announcement but couldn't help laughing at the proud and just Chief of police, who's face turned red with anger.

Just by saying that Arnold was now a part of the Black Family, Johnny gave Arnold the same special rights that the government had given to the 12 elite families. One of them being that no member of any of the 12 families can be arrested for any crimes until it's a crime against the nation and even in that case if someone had to be arrested, the President of the United States of America had to sign an arrest warrant only then the police and the military would get the authority to arrest them.

"Chief what do we do?" Chief's assistant asked him.

"WHAT CAN WE DO FOOL! JUST PACK UP AND LEAVE!" The Chief bellowed, stomped off and left the scene.

"What do you mean the plan FAILED! I even got the mayor to switch off the security scanners and what not! AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THE MISSION FAILED!"

Everyone in the room was silent. Even the President of Flying Swords, Ming Fu was there. Although he was of S+ rank himself, the gap between his and the leader's power was too much. If they were to fight, the leader would wipe him out and no one would even know about it.

Ming Fu had always been a close subordinate of the mysterious leader, as soon as he got to know that the leader wanted to capture a family member of someone that worked for his guild, he immediately planned to help the leader. He even got out of his way and gave out many benefits to Arnold so that, he's would manage to slowly get his way to his sister. But alas! the plan failed and now Arnold knew that someone was after his sister. He had to do it all in secrecy, because if anyone got a whiff of the situation... the results would've been catastrophic.

The leader calmed down a bit and asked, "Where's Bob?"

"He's... missing."

"Find him..."

"Yes sir!"

"And bring him to me. I've been wanting to do some experiments on him." The leader snarled.
