The Rise Of A Porter - Chapter 348

"There's no way you can dodge this!" He Yanyu exclaimed. He was confident that Arnold was a dead man.

"Who said anything about dodging such a weak attack?" Arnold mumbled before he snapped He Yanyu's arm in half with a half-as*ed flick of his pinky finger. 

Everyone was stunned when they saw He Yanyu falling down on his knees. Moreover, unlike what they had been expecting, Arnold did not even use his bionic arm on the swordsman. He used his own strength to decapitated He Yanyu, in one blow.

Even though the fight ended in a flash. All of them present in the hall clearly saw what happened, yet none of them was ready to believe it. It was completely absurd. How can someone snap an S ranked warrior's arm with a flick? No one would ever believe it, even with evidence.

"I'm telling you for the first and the final time. I have no ill-feeling towards anyone except Chiang and Gui Ling. So stay out of it."Arnold roared with fury in his voice, "I will be killing them tonight, that's for certain. Along with anyone who will stand in my way. So if you want to live a long and healthy life, leave now. Or you can continue your friendship with them in the afterlife. The choice is yours."

"You basta-" He Yanyu grabbed his sword with his remaining good arm and once again lunged towards Arnold. This time, however, Arnold wasn't in the mood to forgive the man regardless of who he was.

Arnold did not even bother looking at the man and with a backhand slap, he ended up snapping He Yanyu's neck in half. It all happened so quickly, that it took five seconds for He Yanyu's corpse to finally fall on the floor. He was dead, just like Arnold told them he would be.

"What part of I'll kill you if you interfere, you idiots didn't understand?" Arnold shook his head, before wiping his bloodied hands on He Yanyu's clothes, "I'm tired of people not taking my words seriously. Like, come on! If I say I'll kill you, means I'll kill you. Is it that tough to understand such a simple thing? *Sigh*"

Zing now saw Arnold in a different light. He no longer was the same teenager who ran away with his sister when Chiang threatened him. If back then he had been a goat, he had now returned as a dragon. He was happy that Chiang and Giu were his only targets and not him, even though he was equally guilty for taking Arnold's wealth away from him.

Chiang, however, wasn't so lucky. He was so scared of Arnold, he could wet himself at any moment. Never in a million years had he thought the nephew he used to abuse his entire life would become the one he would be scared to death of. Maybe it was the divine punishment for all his wrongdoings... no.

It was no divine punishment, it was Arnold's stone-cold retribution. Plain and simple. The anger and frustrations he had been keeping under him for over a decade were now about to explode like a volcano. And Chiang and everything he had built for himself was going to drown in Arnold's rage.

"But how is this even possible? Didn't Zing said Arnold was only an A ranker?" Arnold's chubby cousin Gui mumbled into his father's ears. He was as scared as his father yet, he was somehow calmer than him. Chiang, on the other hand, was too shocked to even give a proper reply to his son.

'I have to leave... or else...' Zing thought to himself.

Zing did not want to stay there anymore. Not after what he had just seen. He had to run if he wanted to live.

A moment later, he bolted towards the door at top speed. But before he could reach the door he saw something walking towards him. He thought it was either Yu Zhung or one of the other warriors and rushed out to be in their protection. However, he realised his mistake as soon as he stepped out.

From a distance, it looked as if a man was standing in the shadows. But as Zing got closer to the 'person' he froze with fear. That thing outside was no human, not be a longshot. No human had a tail tucked behind themselves. It was a Lizardman, a black lizardman carrying a broadsword over his shoulder. Not to mention, it was the biggest Lizardman Zing had ever seen at that. But he wasn't alone. 

Before Zing could even get a clear view of the monsters walking behind the Lizardman, he was kicked back into the room by the Lizardman. The kick hit Zing like a maglev train. He could also feel his organs burst due to the impact.

Chiang and Gui immediately turned to face the doors leading to the gardens outside. They were hopeful that someone had come to save them. However, their hopes were shattered a second later when through the doors entered Grock, followed by the rest of Arnold's summons. The tides had turned against Chiang and his son. They thought with the help of the warriors they would trap Arnold within the mansion while now it was them who had been trapped inside their own mansion.

"A-Arnold... y-you should h-honour your words," Zing mumbled with a mouthful of blood, "You said... you won't kill anyone who doesn't get in your way..."

"Yeah, and I'm sticking by those words. After all, I won't be the one to kill you." Arnold nodded and Grock crushed Zing's head like a water balloon.

Arnold had tried his very best to forgive Zing for what he did a decade ago. He genuinely thought Chiang had forced him to betray his best friend. But when Arnold returned and saw how evil his 'best friend' had become, he decided to end him for good.

"Now... how should I take care of you two-"

"What's going on here? Why is no one answering their goddamn communicators-"

Yu Zhung just came back from his smoke break on the terrace and the first thing he saw after entering the hall, were Arnold's elite summons standing at the far end of the room.

The next thing that caught his eyes was Zing's headless corpse lying next to the foot of a gigantic lizardman before his eyes eventually fell on the lifeless body of He Yanyu... and finally, he saw the man who was intently looking at him from the corner of his eyes.

"Deathless..."

"Finally, someone who knows who I am!" Arnold gave Yu Zhung a smile before turning away, "As a reward for that, I won't be killing you. You can leave if you want." 

Yu Zhung was shocked, angry and confused to see the Deathless there. It was then he was finally able to recall that Deathless had a prosthetic arm as well. 

"Master Zhung... help us..." Chiang was almost on the verge of crying when Yu Zhung drew his sword and rushed towards Arnold who had his back turned towards him.

Right when Zhung was about to plunge his sword deep into Arnold's back, Arnold stopped his sword's blade with a single finger of his right hand... without even bothering to turn around. All of Zhung's speed, his momentum, disappeared the moment Arnold grabbed the sword.

"Now you're just courting death..." Arnold mumbled as Yu Zhung's sword disintegrated in his hand.
