《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 344: Know Your Place (1)

"Divide us?" Chiang mumbled while Zing stared at him with a surprised pikach* face.
Both of them were too occupied slandering each other that they forgot that both of them were the victim of someone else's trickery. All of them were made to fight each other like fools while Arnold laughed at their foolishness.
Both Zing and Chiang saw Arnold as someone below them and the fact they were made fools by someone like him enraged them beyond any limit. But the most important thing to think about was why was he doing all this?
Chiang and Zing both had a reason to be worried because both of them had screwed Arnold over. Chiang did so by making false papers of transfer of ownership of Arnold's and Nicole's majority shares in the company. While Zing helped Chiang by getting those papers signed by Arnold under the false pretence that his uncle wanted to hand him and Nicole the remainder of his father's estate.
Arnold was still grieving at that time and he trusted his friend more than himself back then. So he did not even bother reading the document and signed away. Nicole followed her brother's lead and did the same. An hour later they were kicked out of their homes and the rest was history.
Chiang and Zing both looked towards each other. Not a single word was exchanged but they already said what they wanted to.
"He's here for us..."
Yu Zhung was unaware of the drama from a decade ago, and honestly, he didn't even care about it. What happened in the past was not his fault. He and his family should not have been harmed because of a lunatic's revenge and that's all he cared about. His brother-in-law was innocent in all this and yet he was killed in such a gruesome manner. He would not stop until he got his revenge on that sick lunatic for killing his brother-in-law.

His fiance, Liu Rong, would be devastated to know that her brother died and she wouldn't even be able to say her goodbyes to him as her brother was forever lost inside the dungeon. Just thinking about her pained expression broke Zhung's, granite-like heart.
But before taking action, he had to know more about his enemy first. Chiang was of no help in that regard as he had not seen his nephew in well over a decade and a decade was enough time for someone to change. His only hope was Zing.
"Is this Arnold guy strong?" Yu Zhung asked Zing as he was the only man who had met with Arnold after his return.
"I don't think so... his aura wasn't all that strong. I think it's safe to assume that he was an A ranker at best?" Zing replied.
"That cocky bastard is not even an S ranker and yet he dared to mess with us? Does he take us for fools?" Chiang stomped his foot in irritation, "We should take care of him as soon as possible. Master Zhung... we- you seem to be lost in something else?"
Zhung nodded, "It doesn't make any sense..."
"What doesn't?"
"What A ranker can clear an S ranked dungeon by himself?" Zhung walked over to the place where the dungeon's entrance was, "The answer is that he couldn't. Unless we're missing an important event or that..."
"He attacked a weakened Attack team once they had defeated the dungeon boss." Zing completed Zhung's words.
Zhung nodded but otherwise, remained silent.
"That might be true but did you say, Jin was supposedly keeping a captive... why would he try to clear the dungeon? It's completely out of his character." Chiang raised his doubt, "And even if Arnold attacked the weakened team, it doesn't explain how he was able to get past the subjugation squad and enter the dungeon in the first place?"

"Hmm..." Yu Zhung hummed a prayer for the dead souls to find peace. While he was doing that, his mind was continuously coming up with scenarios of how one man managed to accomplish such a tiresome task with absolute perfection.
However, the more Yu Zhung thought about it, the more it seemed impossible for an A ranker to do it all on his own. Slipping past the subjugation squad wasn't an easy feat either as there were quite a few sensory warriors among them. They would notice someone even if they try to conceal their aura. But even if he somehow did manage to slip past them, it wouldn't explain why the subjugation squad was dead as well.
Killing more than 55 people in such a short time wasn't something an A ranker could accomplish. Especially when most of those 55 warriors were A and B rankers. Something was wrong, Yu Zhung knew it but he couldn't point it out.
"Zing... are you sure that man was not higher than A rank?" Yu Zhung asked Zing once the prayers were over.
"Positive," Zing replied, "Even if he was hiding his aura it wouldn't have been possible for him to be of higher rank... However, now that I think about it, he had a prosthetic arm."
"What?" Both Chiang and Zhung yelled at the same time.
"Y-Yeah... it was a bit awkward. But maybe that arm holds the secret of his abnormal strength? Like it was a secret weapon or something? It looked quite expensive as well if I might add that."
There was an awkward silence. Now it all made sense. If Arnold had a secret weapon, then he could have easily decimated everyone. Only if his arm was some sort of a secret weapon, it would clear all of the doubts Zhung had.
"It makes sense. He was coming to declare war, so it was obvious he would come prepared." Zhung smirked, "But no matter what weapon he uses, he would not be a match for someone like me. An SS ranked warrior would never be defeated by a mere A ranker. Not in a million years."
"Yes! That's the spirit, Master Zhung! That basta*d has no chance against you at all." Chiang was relieved to have Yu Zhung back him up. With him, by his side, not even Deathless could harm him, let alone his nephew.
Funnily enough, Yu Zhung had seen Deathless' face before but he wasn't aware of his real identity as the American syndicate treated it like a top-secret. While Chiang only knew that Deathless was America's greatest warrior but had never seen him, nor were they aware that Deathless too had a prosthetic arm like the one Zing mentioned. The clues were all over the place, yet their arrogance did not allow them to see the naked truth.
"Zing, you said he was here to meet Chiang, didn't you?" Zhung inquired.
"Yes, Master Zhung. I even gave him the address of the Imperial Mansion. Also, when he left, he sent me his contact information and said to give it to Uncle Chiang."
"Very well then." Zhung smirked before turning towards Chiang, "Let's invite him over for dinner. What do you think?"
"Sounds like a plan." Chiang had the most disgusting smile on his face, "Too bad he did not bring his sister with him... I would've liked to have a taste of her again, it's been quite a while after all."

A Solitary God In A Dark Multiverse
Eons ago a devastating and apocalyptic battle took place that rocked every dark and loathsome corner of the multiverse. In the aftermath of the battle, deities, demon-lords, old ones, arch-devils, angel kings and archon queens, not to mention other cosmically powerful entities were totally obliterated. Despite this history-changing occurrence, life found a way and life went on in a godless multiverse for an unimaginable length of time. And in time, even the mightiest and most popular gods were nearly forgotten. But one day, in a universe unlike our own, an altogether fantastic and magical universe, a deity is born. A new deity. A deity of a nebulous morality. Join the aforementioned morally unbound deity as he embarks on a quest to gain power, worshippers, and glory. This story features a deity as its protagonist, but it's a deity who starts off alone in a dark and harsh multiverse. He needs worshippers to grow in power and has to earn his victories intelligently. He seeks to gain worshippers, discover the truth behind his genesis, and become the deity he is meant to be.
