'Looks like its going to be a long fight... even [FORESIGHT] didn't show me much.' Arnold thought and let out a heavy sigh.

He had just used his foresight ability to see if he could get some information to help him counter his enemies, but he could only see himself fighting some A and B ranked warriors along with Nathan and few other warriors.

'At least I'll get some EXP for defeating so many warriors. It'll help me upgrade my subclasses and maybe I'll get some new abilities while I'm at it...'

Arnold was still lost in his thoughts when Johnny said something. "But trust me on this. I'll make them pay."

"I know you would..." Arnold mindlessly mumbled but didn't look towards Johnny or the others. 'But something feels off... isn't this all going too well for us? Feels like someone wants us to attack the guild right now...'

The pilot flew towards the top of the guild's headquarters and kept hovering over it, as per Johnny's command.

"Remember, I'll break through the roof, Aydan, Kolt and Azyriah will follow me and we'll attack the high ranked officials. Nathan and Arnold, you guys will take care of the A ranked and B ranked warriors. Don't worry about the enemy numbers, as soon as the attack begins, our warriors who have surrounded the building would simultaneously rush in and soon we'll overwhelm the enemies. Any questions?"

"I think it's too late to have any questions. JUST JUMP OUT ALREADY!" Kolt shouted at Johnny, who shrugged and jumped out of the chopper, followed by everyone else.

03:49 AM, INSIDE THE GUILD...

Tut-tut-tut

The guild was in chaos. Everyone was running round making some final preparations before the attack began. All of them had a single question in their minds - Why would the Black Family attack them? Even after brain storming for hours, all they could come up with was that it was somehow related to the Malibu Club incident, but they themselves highly doubted it. After all, why would one of the 12 elite families attack them for such a petty reason? Moreover, hadn't they already settled it by attacking Chris?

They knew that, if the Family was really serious about the attack, then they had no chance of stopping their strong warriors, but they were being forced to do it. When they got the call from the guild, they weren't informed who they were going to face. Had they known they were about to battle with one of the elite families, they'd never have responded to the call. They could always find work as long as they were alive, the guild was nothing special.

"Damn those idiots! Why did they had to mess up with a goddamned FAMILY!" One of the warriors tasked with guarding the ground floor cursed the officials under his breath, "I'm sure the President or the Vice President did something to piss them off and we'll have to pay the price for it... why are you guys staring at me like that?"

His fellow guild members immediately went silent and pointed as if someone was standing behind him. He quickly turned around to unleash his sword skill, but before he could react, his head had already struck the ground. His sword slipped out of his hand. The man holding him down picked up his sword and stabbed his back.

"So you have problem defending the place and the people who gave you money and status to live in peace? The guild did so much for you and yet you dare to curse it and it's people?" Jake questioned the warrior as he pushed the sword deeper into his body, "People like you disgust me the most. People like you just know how to reap benefits from others and as soon as you're asked for something in return, you start running away with your tail between your legs.

"But don't worry, I'll teach you the lesson of loyalty for a price... the price of YOUR LIFE!" Jake smiled and pushed sword into the warriors body with all his might. "DIE FOR ME!"

His sickening laughter echoed in the hall, as the warrior's teammates saw their teammate's very, soon his eyes turned white as his soul left his body. After the deed was done, Jake slowly got up and looked at the others who were standing in front of him.

"You might survive if you fight for the guild, but if you as much as speak ill about the guild or try to betray it or it's people, I'll kill you and then," Jake snapped his fingers and the dead warrior slowly raised his head, "...you'll end up like him."

The warriors standing in front of him immediately kneeled before him and said in unison. "W-we'll n-never b-betray you or t-the g-guild. P-please forgive us..."

"Make sure to defend the guild with your last breath or else you know what will happen..." Jake kicked the warriors kneeling in front of him and walked away, as the zombified warrior from before, got up and silently followed him.

The warriors stared in shock at the horror that was in front of their eyes... their teammate wasn't the only one who was zombified... nearly everyone who has been sent out as scouts to alert the guild in case of invasion, had been killed and turned into a zombified soldier.

Jake had sent out only a fraction of the warriors outside as per his plan, while he had secretly killed the rest of the low ranked warriors.

"Tsk, who need low ranked living warriors when I can kill them and increase their potential manifolds... this dual class ability isn't too bad, is it Madam System?"

Jake asked as a notification appeared in front of his eyes...
