The Rise Of A Porter

"Master, We have contacted the Japanese government and they are on the way." Talos gave his usual timely report while the rest of his summons were busy handling the crowd that had gathered on the beach.

While fighting against the Olympians, the island didn't seem to be so crowded, but now the island looked like a colony of ants. Over fifteen thousand of Arnold's summons were trying their best to help about twenty-five thousand warriors. It was taxing, but Arnold wanted to make sure that all of them were okay. As it was nothing less than a god's gift to so many people who were thought to have been killed in action, turned out to be fine.

Not only that, the two reporters who were the first to discover Hercules, were also alive and well. Nakayama quickly recovered from the incident and immediately went back to reporting the story of his 'miraculous survival' as well as their saviours. He wanted to make sure that the world got to know who the true hero of this battle was as he was afraid the governments throughout the world would try to take advantage of the situation. Little did that he knew, no one in their right minds would try to go against Arnold.

Thanks to Nakayama's surprise new broadcast on his channel, the world got to know about the survival of the warriors. All of this happened mere moments after the council made an announcement that they lost thirty-five thousand warriors in the clash. Arnold could imagine the pain of all the people who thought they lost someone close to them, and also the joy of finding out that their loved ones were still alive... well, most of them were.

The Japanese government jumped at the chance to help Arnold as they wanted to have a good relationship with him. Thus they had sent an advanced force of medics and other disaster management units to help Arnold while Cetus made her way to the mainland.

Arnold had no way to resurrect the dead back to how they were before. And turning the fallen warriors into his summons was utterly disrespectful to both the brave warriors as well as their families. But at that moment an idea hit him. He could make Cetus a memorial island so that the ones who lost their lives would be remembered as long as the planet existed.

After all, system-sama had told him, Cetus would exist as long as Earth existed. So what better way would there be to remember the warriors other than to construct a memorial structure on the land they readily sacrificed their lives on. This way, people would also visit the island, which would make Cetus happy and improve Arnold's relationship with her. It was a win-win situation for him.

"Alright. Prepare to welcome them on board. But be sure to keep an eye on them. You never know what they could be planning to do." Arnold mumbled back while stroking Nicole's hair, who was fast asleep with her head on his lap.

It was safe to say that Nicole was worried about him, even if she tried her best to hide it. But now that everything had been taken care of she could relax for a bit. She fell asleep while talking to him and just like the old times, Arnold began stroking her head.

"Master... you just obliterated a demigod. I know earthlings can be foolish at times. But I don't think they'll be foolish enough to seek trouble especially against you." Natasha couldn't help but laugh, "I daresay if anything they'll readily go against the gods but not against you."

"I hope so too, Natasha," Arnold smiled a bit as well, "But you never know what these idiots could be planning against me. I have been betrayed way too many times. So for me, it's better to be prepared and destroy them immediately rather than waiting for them to do something to hurt the others."

"Well, that's true." Talos nodded.

"What about that brigadier? Did that moron say anything yet?"

"Not yet, master. And I don't believe he'll be speaking anytime soon. Your actions... might have resulted in dealing a bigger shock to him than we expected."

"Hm... one thing is clear. Whoever this Hel bit*h is, she was involved in both of the incidents. The one with Jake as well as the one with the Brigadier." Arnold clasped his fists together before yawning. All of this continuous running had tried him as well and he desperately wanted to sleep even though he was great at hiding it, "Either she has some agenda against me or she desperately wants to get rid of me for some reason. Either way, I don't think she'll be bothering us for a long time now. Tell Amanda to inform me once that bast*rd starts talking."

"Yes, master." Talos and Natasha left the siblings alone, and yet another notification popped up in front of him. Arnold opened the notification and was stunned by what he saw in front of him.
