"Thanks for your help. I'm forever indebted to you." Arnold said in the most respectful manner.
"No need to thank a fellow family mber." Johnny replied in his emotionless voice. Even though his voice lacked emotion, whatever he said felt intimidating to others because of his 6' 3" tall, heavily built physique.
"Thanks to you guys as well... if it wasn't for you who knows what would have happened. I owe you one." He thanked the mbers of Black Knights guild.
"You don't owe us anything. You helped us inside the dungeon we helped you outside the dungeon. We're even now." Nina waved her hand, "I wanted to ask you sothing though. Why didn't you properly check the nurse's background before appointing her as Nicole's caretaker?"
"The thing is, I didn't appoint her. My guild did. They even gave this apartnt which is... pretty useless now." Arnold replied.
"Hate to say this but I think, soone from your previous guild was collaborating with the one who attacked you." Dan interjected.
"Looks like I need to go to the guild for a last ti..."
"I'll go with you then." Johnny told Arnold, "Your arm is still healing and I don't think it'll be a good idea for you to be alone in case things go south. Moreover I have a car, we'll be able to reach there soon."
He glanced at the others. "Nina take a few people with you and take Arnold's sister to the mansion. The rest of you, go back to the guild and file the report. Got it?"
"Yes sir!"

"You can stay here. I'll call for help in case I need it." Arnold said as he hastily got out of Johnny's car.
"No I'm coming with you, we're a family now. Your problem is my problem." Johnny replied.
Arnold nodded and both of them headed towards the John's office. Arnold needed so answers. He knew he wasn't powerful enough to take on the vice president, but if it was for his sister he'll do anything and everything to punish those who an harm to her.
Most of his 'forr' team mbers were in the hall preparing to leave for Arnold's apartnt to check in on him. They didn't know anything about the attack and only got to know about it from the news channels, but then they saw him rushing towards the elevator but it wasn't all, a man having a trendous amount of aura followed behind him.
"Wasn't that... John Miller." EL looked at the others who were also shocked. What was Arnold doing with soone like him?
"You an Johnny Black, that's the na which was given to him when he joined the Black Family." Miguel corrected EL.
"Shouldn't he be stopped? I an he is trespassing isn't he?"
"Can you stop him?"
Everyone went silent. Who'd dare to go up against Arica's top warrior?
"Let's follow them." Alice finally broke the silence.

"I'm sorry Arnold but I can't allow you to et John. He's in a eting." Maya shook her head.
"I'm sorry Maya, but do you think he cares?" Arnold pointed his thumb towards Johnny, who glared at Maya. The generally cool and collected Maya was scared out of her wits.
"I-I can-"
"Open the door or would you like to open it instead?" Johnny took a step towards her.
Maya was sweating profusely when EL and the others entered the hall.
"What the hell you think you're doing?" EL shouted.
Arnold turned towards his ex-teammates. "You. Stay. Out. Of. It."
They had never seen Arnold like this before. his usual calm deanor had been replaced by pure rage.
Arnold then pushed Maya aside and kicked open the door leading to John's office. Three n in black suits were sitting there talking with each other when the door opened and Arnold and Johnny walked in.
"We need to talk."
"Can't you see I'm busy? Co tomorrow." John arrogantly replied.
"You, You and you," Johnny pointed at the n in black suits, "out now."
Everyone knew who Johnny was and didn't want to upset him in anyway, so they quietly got up and left.
"MILLER STAY OUT OF IT!" John barked loudly at Johnny.
"You got a death wish or sothing, oldie?" Johnny calmly replied, but at that mont everyone in the room could feel the killing intent coming out from his body. "Just answer the kid and we'll be out of here. Go ahead."
"You wouldn't know about what happened couple of hours ago would you?" Arnold asked.
"You think I'm an oracle?"
"Allow to enlighten your ignorant self then. My sister was attacked by the nurse YOU appointed. I nearly got killed by a friend of hers and let think what else... NONE OF YOU EVEN SHOWED UP TO HELP OUT!"
"What are you trying to say?"
"What I'm trying to say is, be glad that I don't have a proof that you or your guild were involved in it or else we wouldn't be chatting right now."
"Arnold, I think there's been so kind of misunderstanding..." Alice placed her hand on his shoulder, but he slapped it back.
"No. It's not a misunderstanding, it's a mistake, my mistake to trust this guild and it's shitty people but no more. I'm resigning from this guild, effective imdiately."
Arnold snapped his guild communicator in front of them and walked out of the guild, ignoring everyone's plea. After what happened, he would never trust them ever again.
