The Rise Of A Porter

"Why is it so silent all of a sudden?" Jake asked the guild manager.

"We don't know... most of the teams aren't responding." The manager replied. ​​

Jake sighed heavily. He knew that the low ranked members wouldn't last for a minute against a full frontal attack from The Black Family, that's why he decided to spread everyone who was ranked C or lower, around the guild's vicinity hoping that even if they couldn't fight against the enemies, at least they'll be able to alert the guild about them. But hell, his 'alarms' kept dropping like twigs from a tree, they were no match for the Family. He had underestimated his opponent's strength.

"Lock down the entire guild. Close all entrances and exits, tell everyone to be on guard and prepare for battle. No one enters or leaves until I say so." Jake barked his orders, "The A team will protect the President and the VP. You're in-charge of the other warriors."

"Yes sir." The guild manager said and went on with giving orders to the rest of the surveillance team, as Jake walked out of the room.

"They moved sooner than I expected, but it's all according to the plan." A vicious smile appeared on his usually emotionless face. "I can feel it... I'm about to break the limit... just a few more kills and I'll finally have enough power to..."

"So I guess they are really attacking us?" a feminine voice came from behind.

"Apparently they are, Ms. Maya. Is the VP inside?"

"Yes he's inside, along with Ms. Alice... he's afraid that something might happen to her. After all she could be one is the targets. I just can't think of any reason for one of the twelve families to attack us? Do you know something, Jake?"

'Stop annoying me and get out of my way before I kill you.' That's what Jake wanted to say but these weren't the words that came out of his mouth.

"I'm as clueless as you are... now if you don't mind can I go inside?" Jake lied, of course he knew why the Black Family was attacking them but Maya didn't had to know it. If the VP didn't revealed anything to her, then why would he? Not like the VP knew about the attack the President had planned either.

"Of course. The Vice President had been expecting you." Maya said and opened the door to the Vice President's office.

"Look at those bast*rds. They think shutting their doors would protect them," Kolt laughed off, "Our plan is ruined now... how will we enter into the building now... boohoo..."

Everyone inside the chopper burst into laughter. Kolt was an ex marine and a member of the six man team that Johnny had assembled as the main force to attack the guild. The team included - Johnny, Kolt, Aydan, Azyriah, Nathan and Arnold. Kolt, Aydan and Azyriah, were all S ranked warriors and had been working under Johnny for a long time, in fact they joined the Family together. Their objective was simple, kidnap the President or the Vice President and eliminate anyone who stood in their way and after that, burn the entire place down to cover their tracks.

"Enough Kolt, we're on a mission, not a comedy show, although that was a good one." Johnny said, "Azyriah, how many people are in there?"

"Around 75 people... I can feel 4 S+ ranked energy signals, a dozen or so A ranked and the rest are B ranked..." Azyriah replied, She was one of the best psychic mages of the country. When people heard she was a mage, they often thought that she would be physically weak and hence easy to deal with, but they were wrong. Azyriah was once a mix martial artist and had represented USA in many global competition. Of course this was before she awakened her powers as a psychic mage and gave up on her ambition to be the number one mix martial artist as warriors weren't allowed to compete in those events.

"According to the Intel, there should've been only 3 S ranked or above warriors. Not 4." Nathan spoke up.

"Hey man, just chill... all we need to do is to kidnap a couple of guys, moreover, Johnny can take care of 2 S+ warriors himself." Aydan said as if he was rapping, "Don't forget that around 150 guys are waiting around the guild to attack as soon as we launch the attack yo!"

Aydan was once a world renowned rapper, who had worked with many artists around the globe. But he had to give up on his career when his voice became his secret weapon destruction. Due to his ability to manipulate his voice to super human levels, he was nicknamed as the 'Howler monkey¹'. Only earplugs made of a special monster materials were able to block his shrieking voice. Fortunately, all of them had a pair of earplugs with them.

"Aydan's right, one additional S rank would be able to do much in our presence." Johnny agreed, "But I'm afraid, I'll have to forbid you and Arnold from intervening between our fights. Once we get inside, you guys will have to aid the reinforcements and take care of the A and B ranked warriors within enemies ranks. If you stay with us, you'll only hold us back so it'll be better if we take care of them while you defeat the low ranked bast*rds.

"I know you want to do this yourself," He looked at Arnold who was busy staring at the guild through the opened doors of the helicopter, "but trust me on this. I'll make them pay."

"I know you would..." Arnold mumbled but didn't look towards Johnny or the others.

Johnny nodded and turned towards the pilot, who flew towards the top of the guild's headquarters.

1. Howler monkeys: Named for their distinct loud call, howler monkeys rely on their howls to communicate through their dense rainforest homes. Their howls fall between 128 and 140 dB, and this high volume is a result of howler monkeys having an enlarged hyoid—a bone in the neck that enables tongue and throat movement.
