《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 19: Silence before the storm

"Sir we've found her. Turns out her brother got her out of the hospital about a day before we commenced our plan." Alex informed his boss.
"Where is she?" The boss replied.
"Still in Florida. She's living with her brother in an apartment. Nikki has already disguised herself as a nurse and managed to infiltrate inside."
"The hell is she waiting for then? TELL HER TO CAPTURE THE GIRL!" The leader yelled.
"There's a problem. The girl's brother is a summoner, he used his power to summon two 'golems' to guard his sister. Both of them are strong and never let the girl out of their sight. Nikki said she won't be able to do it alone."
"Hm... send Matthew there to help her out immediately."
"Sir, he's already on a different mission."
"Then send Angela."
"She isn't available either."
"WHO THE F*CK IS AVAILABLE THEN?"
"Bob."
"Tsk. That B ranked basta*d." The leader massaged his temple, "Fine send him in and tell him, if he fails... he dies."
"Yes sir!"
"Dismissed." The leader then walked out of the room. Outside the room was a long corridor. He turned two corners, walked into an empty room, and pressed a disguised button on the wall. The wall silently slid open, and behind the door was a secret room. "Why does it keeps getting more complex!"
*****
"Claim."
Arnold was on his way back home. He really wanted to join the Black Knight guild but before he answered Natalia, he explained his situation and the deal he had with his guild. She was still interested in having him in her guild so she said she'll ask the high ranking officers and if they agree on his demands she'll contact him again. He got so occupied with Natalia and her questions that he couldn't even claim his rewards for killing the centaur.

"Why do all the abilities I get, have some drawbacks to them too?" Arnold shook his head.
[SACRED PROTECTION] was really useful if someone managed to ambush him or attack while he was unprepared. It would save him but then he'd lose 20% of his health. He wasn't worried much about it, as he could use [ESSENCE OF LIFE] to gain his health back. He was more worried about [SOUL GRAPPLE] because using this ability would completely drain his mana supply and so far he only knew one way to counter this problem, The [Mana potion]. He made a mental note to stock up [Mana potion] in his inventory.

He used another 30 beast crystals to buy 300 [Basic Enchanted Bullets], and saved the rest beast crystals to use in case of emergency.

"When will brother return..." Nicole whined, "It's already past 7."
"I think he'll be here soon." Nikki smiled at her.
DING DONG
The apartment's bell rang.
"Looks like he's already here. I'll go and check okay?" Nikki left the room to open the door.
"Okay!" Nicole replied.
But suddenly, the golems stood in front of Nicole and prepared to attack. Duke grabbed his scythe and pushed Nicole behind him.
"Hello hello hello. Is this the way you welcome a guest?" The man gave a weird smile to Nicole, "YOU'RE MINE NOW!"
