YM778.TV Chapter 417 - Unwarranted Meeting (3)
In the week that Arnold had been missing, a few interesting things happened. First of all, Orco finally woke up from his slumber and now Talos had taken the role to be his guardian for the time being till Arnold thought of some other arrangement. Also, Talos finally managed to recover the lost video from T-90 about what happened to Orco right before T-90 was destroyed for good. Right now Arnold was watching the video while the rest of them sat around the table in Arnold\'s mansion in Shanghai.
It was a fairly short video but it had the important details from right before Orco lost control of himself. Apparently, one of the lava pups Arnold had summoned for Orco to play with, hit him in the head by accident and the following moment all hell broke loose.
Arnold was seeing the infamous black lightning after a long time. It was similar to the Orc Chieftain from one of his previous dungeon experiences. A small thundercloud formed behind Orco as his eyes started glowing red and a small horn-like bone popped out the side of his head. The best description of him would be like an orc with a horn in human form. Even his face distorted a bit as his canines grew bigger.
T-90 saw this as a threat and immediately charged towards him to stop before it was too late. But sadly, it was already too late. As soon as T-90 got closer to Orco, he let out a terrifying scream and the next second everything went black as lightning struck the ground. And just like that one of the most sophisticated automatons Arnold, Talos and Devon had made together was gone and so were the lava pups.
"Talk about overkill..." Arnold sighed before closing the video feed, "It is worse than I thought..."
"It\'s worse than any one of us had thought." Nicole placed her hand on Arnold\'s stiff shoulders, "You should relax. Too much stress isn\'t good for your health even if you are the world\'s strongest man."
But at that moment Arnold couldn\'t do anything but stress about the situation. He had to make a terrible but obvious decision. It didn\'t matter whether he wanted to do it or not. He had to keep Nina and Aiden safe, they were his top priority, even if it meant to pull Orco away from them. He had to do it until they were sure that Orco was able to control his powers or else he could harm Aiden in the blink of an eye.
"Nina is not going to like this one bit..." Arnold covered his face with the palm of his hands, "Hell, even I do like this at all. Why the fck all of this had to happen."
Most of Arnold\'s elite summons were standing around him, waiting to be given those dreadful orders that were wandering within Arnold\'s mind. They knew it would be hard for Arnold to even think about separating Orco and Nina especially after they had bonded so well over the year they had known each other. But it had to be done. There was no other way.
"Alright, Talos... no, everyone. We need to train Orco as soon as possible. In the meantime, Natasha you try and temporarily seal Orco\'s abilities-"
While Arnold was giving everyone their orders, an idea struck him hard. If his plan worked, he wouldn\'t need to separate Nina and Orco. All he needed to do was to find a way to prevent Orco from using his abilities and now, Arnold had a way to make sure it happened. All of a sudden the sulky face of Arnold was gone. He had finally found a way to help Orco without hurting anyone\'s feelings.
"That\'s it! I can do this!" Arnold jumped from his chair. Everyone around him got confused all of a sudden, "But this could take some time. Till then Talos, you and Devon try to figure out a way to tame the slime and try to make it suitable to use in warfare. Take Yan with you, he is an expert when it comes to dead and necromancy related sh*t."
"Will do, master," Talos replied as Alice handed him the flask that was carrying the slime.
Arnold then turned towards Yu Zhung and Natasha, "Yu Zhung, you will train Orco along with Natasha and Alice. Natasha, I\'m entrusting you with Yu Zhung\'s and Orco\'s lives. If you think Orco was going to go berserk immediately put him to sleep and Alice, you make sure to regularly check on him to see if everything was alright or not. Understood?"
"Got it, my lord." Yu Zhung bowed to him, "I will ensure that no harm is done to either of your sons even if it costs me my life."
"That\'s a little bit excessive but your goodwill is much appreciated." Arnold nodded before taking a look at the rest of them, "In order to train Orco properly I would require help from all of you as well. But till then please keep on governing your respective sectors. I can\'t let the world collapse just because my son needs your help."
"As your wish, master."
"Alright then. I think I have handled everything here. So it\'s time for me to disappear." Arnold said before stretching his neck, "Yu Zhung, Natasha, Alice, Talos and Yan. All of your new duties will take effect immediately. So follow me if you will, I\'m heading back to the memorial island and after that, I have some important work to do inside the domain."
"Oh before you go, master. Indian prime minister had been calling like a maniac to set up a meeting with you." Talos interrupted, "They didn\'t inform much about what was going on and were only pleading to set up a meeting first."
"What do they want now? Fine, It\'s not like I would disappear right after checking up on Nina and Aiden either way." Arnold shrugged his shoulders, "Schedule a meeting for tomorrow morning. let\'s see why they are being so frantic about."
"Yes, master."
