121 A Surprise

Trevon touched the cool surface of the monolith. He found everything around him was moving and he appeared in the forest again.

This is the forest that he first entered. Trevon saw himself at the monolith in the forest. He saw Ainsley was cultivating next to the monolith.

Ainsley opened his eyes. "Did you find your lucky chance, Brother Trevon?"

"Of course! Hahaha. I am the number one young master in Bluestar and Redwood." Trevon took his fan and fanned himself. "What about you, Brother Ainsley?"

"Yes. I also obtained my lucky chance." Ainsley said.

"What inheritance did you obtained, Brother Ainsley?" Trevon prepared himself. He knew a blessed child of God was annoying. [It is not only a child of God who could get an inheritance. Hehehe.]

"I saw Master Eberk Rockminer." Ainsley said with a calm voice.

"You get the main inheritance?" Trevon felt he should avoid this disease type character when venturing into a dungeon in the future. [Eh? Why didn't the dungeon disappear?]

"Yes. However, his inheritance isn't my lucky chance. Therefore, I reentered the dungeon again."

"You reentered?" Trevon wanted to cry. [Children of God are jerks. I almost lost my life many times during this inheritance thing. He did it twice!]

Ainsley nodded. "I finally got an inheritance from a dwarf knight which suited me. What about you, Brother Trevon?"

"I got one from a human warrior. It is not bad." Trevon said. He didn't mention the person. Since Ainsley didn't say the person he also wouldn't say his real inheritance. [Could one pick what inheritance to get?]

"Congratulations for your success, Brother Trevon! A human warrior would suit us warriors more." Ainsley gave Trevon's palm and fist salute.

"Same with you, Brother Ainsley! No inheritance is bad." Trevon also gave the palm and fist salute.

"Ah! I don't see your mouse. Is your contracted beast fine?" Ainsley showed a worried look.

"Eh? Hahaha. She slept in my robe." Trevon pretended to take something from around his thigh. [His eyes are sharp.]

"Squeak!" Nana's angry voice was heard.

"See! She is here. Wake up! The test is over. Hahaha." Trevon took Nana on her tail.

"Squeak! Squeak!" Nana said that she was talking with her member when Trevon took her outside.

"We must celebrate our lucky encounter. The dungeon will transfer us outside. Let us celebrate and talk in the Sleeping Dragon! That place is special. If we are lucky we can watch the Drunken Pig show! You must see the fight once in your life, Brother Trevon. It is always dangerous and lively. I heard a young warrior challenged the test today. Unfortunately, I missed it."

"..." Trevon was speechless. He was the one who had experienced the dangerous and lively thing.

"What is the problem, Brother Trevon? You seem unwell."

"Hahaha. No. Nothing is the problem. I have visited that place today. In fact, I challenged the Drunken Pig. Hahaha." Trevon took his fan.

"Brother Trevon is really a young hero. I heard you won the challenge."

"Ah! Yes. That pig is too clumsy. It smashed into the wall and gave me an easy win. Hahaha."

"There is no easy thing with the drunken pig. Many famous warriors have tried and failed. You are really great."

"That is nothing. I am lucky. Hahaha."

"Hm... Let's pick another place then! I know a good winehouse around Bandeira family. Its name is Warrior Dream. The uncle is a retired warrior. You can hear about many things from him."

"Yes." Trevon was a bit disappointed. He would prefer a place where he could see beautiful ladies than a retired uncle.

"Then, we will meet there, Brother Trevon." Ainsley touched the monolith. He disappeared.

"What? Wait!" Trevon felt annoyed. [At least, you should tell me how do you do that!] He looked at the monolith. [Well, at least he isn't here. I can use my portal.]

Trevon looked at the sky. He knew the dungeon master was watching him.

"Thank you for the inheritance! I will visit you often. Hehehe." The young master waved his hand toward the empty building. He used the portal next to the monolith and entered his universe.

"NO!" The dungeon master shouted, but Trevon already disappeared. [No!]

Trevon appeared from the portal before the dungeon. That was the closest portal to the Bandeira Castle. He also needed to wind Aya and Marcus. The young master went toward the teahouse to find Aya and Marcus, but they were not in the teahouse.

[Perhaps, they are already back at home.] He thought. Since the mine and Bandeira family's castle were close, Trevon walked directly to the castle alone.

[Hm… The street seemed empty around here.] He barely saw other people. The street was empty and almost every store was closed.

[Why the stores are closed? It is only nine o'clock in the night. He saw a clock in the garden.] Trevon continued his walk toward Bandeira Castle while feeling a bit strange.

The young master walked a bit and he arrived at Bandeira Castle. [Where is that Warrior Dream?]

"Eh?" Trevon felt shocked. Before him, people surrounded the Bandeira Castle.

[What happened?] Trevon ran toward the crowds. He saw Ainsley sat on a stone while his sect brothers surrounded him.

Trevon couldn't see Ainsley's expression because he was lowering his head while his hands were massaging his temple. Since he couldn't get close, Trevon grabbed a man nearby. That man looked thirty years old with a long mustache.

"Brother! What happened?"

"Did you just come?" The person spoke in a surprised tone. His face showed he didn't believe someone would ask him that question.

"Yes."

"There were several attacks today."

"Eh? Several attacks?"

"Yes. This time the attackers attacked several families. They attacked when people are unprepared. This time, the Ironlaw family has a very huge loss."

"What?" Trevon couldn't believe that. [The Debt Collector?]

"Yes. They also attacked Silverarmy, Coppernight, Bandeira…" The man continued to talk about several smaller families. "…This city lost many important families. What would happen to Goldcave? We only have Goldroad family here."

Trevon couldn't imagine. He only went for a bit of mining, then a big disaster happened in the city.

[Perhaps I am lucky that I entered the dungeon.] He thought.

The man continued to talk about his worry and more things.

"Hahaha. Thank you for your information, Brother. I think I saw someone, I know." Trevon left the man.

Trevon himself tried to get close to Ainsley. He squeezed between several people.

[Ew... This is a male's smells.] Trevon didn't like the smell of those passersby. It took him some minutes and his tempered body before he could reach Ainsley.

"Are you alright, Brother Ainsley?"

"Brother Trevon?!" Ainsley looked like a stressed man. He lost his elegant appearance. While he didn't cry, he looked frustrated in his face. "I am sorry. We must cancel our celebration."

"No. It is fine. I could only offer my condolence, Brother Ainsley."

"…"

"…" Trevon didn't know what to say while Ainsley also didn't want to talk too much.

"I will check my family first. They might be worried about me." Trevon said.

Ainsley only nodded weakly. Trevon paid his greeting to his sect brothers before deciding to return to his family pavilion.

Trevon was just walking from the crowds when he started to feel someone looking at him. He looked toward the piercing gaze from behind a tree.

[Jesmond?] Trevon couldn't believe he saw the person. [He came to Goldcave?]

However, Jesmond quickly left the place when he found Trevon was looking back at him.

[Hm… Is he the debt collector?] Trevon thought. He was deep in thought and walked toward the higher floor in Goldcave.

[Sigh... That Debt Collector also aims for my family. I hope everyone is fine.] Trevon thought. He walked toward the higher floor.

While he walked toward his family pavilion. He arrived near Rado's house. The fat young man still had his keys on the door when he looked at Trevon.

"Brother Trevon!" Rado called Trevon.

"Brother Rado!" Trevon looked at the fat young man. He looked a bit slimmer.

"Thank Aurmoth, God of Fire! You are fine! I am very worried when I heard Melody Cave got attacked. I haven't heard anything about Brother Trevon."

"Ah, yes. I haven't married yet. I won't die that easily. Hahaha."

"Yeah! Brother Trevon is a lucky person. A young hero will always avoid danger. Sigh... If I only I am blessed with Brother Trevon's luck. I almost wanted to flee from Goldcave because of what happened today."

"Hahahaha. I am lucky."

"Yes. You must have left Melody Cave when the attack happened. I heard the monsters spread around from that place. Huge casualties happened that day. Even my butler, Carmick disappeared that day. I think he was trapped in the chaos after he took me home. I should not order him to buy things that night."

"No. I was at Melody Cave when the attack happened, but I managed to survive."

"You survived? Please tell me what happened!" Rado seemed interested in the rumor. However, his face looked serious. "Sorry! My bad manner. Let's us talk in my place..." Rado stopped from opening his house.

"Wait! I don't have anything good for drinking and no one for doing my errand. How about I invite you to a winehouse? This time, let me treat you, Brother Trevon! I know the owner. He didn't have any connection with a cultivation family. The place won't get attacked. The ladies are also beautiful."

Trevon wanted to reject Rado's offer, but he heard the magic words, beautiful and ladies. He even forgot about reporting back to his family.

"Sure. Please show me the way! Hwehwehwe." Trevon was full of smiles. [I should have some celebration first, right? Hwehwehwe.]

Rado led Trevon to a winehouse. The place wasn't far from Rado's house. However, the place didn't look crowded that night. Several beautiful ladies received them.

One of them quickly hugged Rado when she saw him. "Ah! Good Night, Young Master Rado!"

"Good Night, Miss Sileas. Thank God! This winehouse is open. I want a private room for me and my brother here. Do you have one available?"

"Hahaha. Of course, we will always have a room for Young Master Rado." A mature lady in red robe received Rado with a smile. Her body was sexy with a mature aura came from her. She seemed to be one of the important ladies in this place.

"Let me introduce you to a heroic person. He is from McArthur family, Brother Trevon McArthur, the hero of Redwood City Beast Waves." Rado proudly introduced Trevon.

"Miss Sileas is one of the famous ladies in this establishment. She is very famous for her massage. You should try it today." Rado introduced Sileas to Trevon.

"Yes. Hahaha. It is my pleasure to meet you, Miss Sileas." Trevon took his fan and fanned himself.

"Nice to meet you, Young Master Trevon."

The lady in red brought Rado and Trevon to a special room. From their talk, Trevon realized Rado often used the establishment to receive his friends in Goldcave. The place was close to his house.

Trevon sat in a small wine drinking room with Rado and four beauties. Rado asked for the most beautiful ladies in the house to accompany them. Their names were Sileas, Floraid, Betiris, and Moire. It was lucky that the attack today made the winehouse empty. This made those beautiful ladies could accompany Trevon and Rado.

Trevon had checked them with scout skill. Luckily, they were not involved with any group. If he saw anyone with a link to a cultivation family, Trevon would try to escape. His life was more important than any beautiful girl.

Sileas and Floraid served Rado. Meanwhile, Betiris and Moire served Trevon. Those two ladies messaged Trevon while he played a wine guessing game with them. He wanted to remove the veil from them.

The young master managed to remove the veil from Betiris in a game of Wine Picking Game. This time he aimed his target at Moire. His hand was moving on top of several wine cups.

"Hahaha! I believe this is the most expensive wine." Trevon took a cup and drank it. "Heavenly Phoenix Jade Grape Wine!"

"Young Master Trevon is great. You managed to get the wine." Moire praised Trevon.

"Yes, you can find the wine in only three tries." The ladies praised Trevon. "Young Master Trevon had keen judgment."

"I actually have found the correct wine before. However, this young master wanted to give you some extra tips. Hahahaha." Trevon got closer and slowly removed the veil from the young lady. He saw a cute innocent face behind the veil. The lady showed an embarrassed look, her cheek started to turn pinkish. Actually, her eyes already showed the beauty behind the veil. But removing the veil gave a feeling of conquering something for Trevon. "Hahaha. You are also beautiful, Miss Moire!"

"Thank you, Young Master Trevon. Let Moire poured more drink for Young Master!"

Trevon and Rado continued to drink while the girl accompanied them. The ladies in the winehouse usually didn't have many talents compared to the ladies in a pleasure house. Nevertheless, the winehouse will not sell the extra service. That was the classification between a winehouse and a pleasure house. Yet, this condition made most of the girls in a winehouse a good talking partner.

"Brother Trevon, please tell me about your survival story!" Rado talked after both drank some wines.

"Survival story?" Sileas asked Rado.

"Yes. My brother here was in Melody Cave when the monster attacked. He is very powerful. A young hero!"

"Hahaha. Brother Rado speaks too highly of me." Trevon took his fan and fanned himself.

"No. This is true. I heard even Rank 2 warriors could survive the disaster."

"Please tell us, Young Hero! Hehehe." The ladies coquettishly asked.

Trevon repeated the similar story that he had told Ainsley. He didn't forget to embellish some parts.

"So, I see the dangerous attacker. I chased him. I point my finger to him and shouted like this." Trevon made an aggressive pose. "Surrender now or prepare for trouble!"

"Kya!!!" The ladies pretended to like Trevon stories. He continued with his story.

"Finally, I captured the attacker with some helpers. We gave the attacker to an elder." Trevon proudly said.

"Young Master Trevon is truly a young hero." Sileas praised.

"Yes. You are the savior of Goldcave. Floraid must thank Young Master!" Floraid also added.

"Young Master Trevon is fearless." Betiris said.

"You are the handsome savior." Moire praised Trevon. She even got closer and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hwehwehwe." Trevon laughed. [That girl is a bit bold. Hwehwehwe.]

"Erm... Yeah! You save lots of people. Allow me to drink for Brother Trevon!" Rado also poured a glass of wine and quickly drank it.

"Hahaha." Trevon fanned his fan to himself. "However, that is not over." Trevon told the story in Ironlaw Castle. He made some fake fighting moves to brag before the ladies.

"I chased him toward the tower. The attacker summoned a powerful big crocodile monster. Luckily, I survive the encounter. I will remember that fight. I will defeat the attacker one day!"

"You are so brave, Young Master." The girls tried to flatter Trevon.

"What happened, Brother Rado?" Trevon saw Rado was deep in thought

"I became fearful of living in Goldcave." Rado said in the fearful tone.

The girls also lost their fun bearing after Rado's words.

"Hahaha. Do not worry! If they dare to come to me! I will kick their ass." Trevon bragged again to cheer the tone.

"Yeah! We have Young Master Trevon here. We should not fear them. Please allow us to pour a wine for a hero." The ladies used the chance to flatter Trevon and poured more wine into his cup.

However, Rado didn't seem to feel good.

"Here! I will pour this cup for you, Brother Rado." Trevon poured a cup for Rado.

"Thank you, Brother Trevon." Rado drank the wine.

"Is there anything that burden you?" Trevon asked.

"Ah. Yes. I actually think about Miss Dwyners. I don't think she survived." Rado seemed to feel down. His eyes almost wanted to cry.

"I am sorry! I can't find her during the chaos." Trevon said.

"Those attackers are cruel. She is only a widow who worked hard to earn money for her daughter in the village. They must be burned alive." Rado slammed the table. "BRAK!!!" The wine cup on the table all jumped from Rado's smash.

"You are correct, Brother Rado! They have to receive the Heavenly Tribulation." Trevon poured more wine for Rado.

Rado drank more and more wine. Trevon only asked for more and more wine to pour for the depressed young man.

"Brother Trevon, I am sorry. I think I am better leaving this place earlier." Rado felt downcast. "Miss Sileas, everything today must be in my tabs. I want to treat, Brother Trevon."

The lady smiled and nodded.

"Fine. Take care on your way home, Brother Rado! You should be careful on the way." Trevon wouldn't reject being left alone with four ladies.

"You too, Brother Trevon." Rado groggily left the place.

There were only Trevon and the four ladies in the room.

"Sis, why doesn't Young Master Rado feel elated at all with today's event?" Foraid asked Sileas.

"I also feel curious about that." Sileas frowned a bit. Nevertheless, that frown added a mystery to the sexy lady.

"Eh? What is this about?" Trevon wondered.

"Young Master Trevon must have never heard of the story of young master Rado's family."

"Yes. I am new in the city."

"This is a common knowledge in the city. Young Master Rado family was a former vassal of Ironlaw family."

"Ah! Yes. I have heard, but only that." Trevon said. The ladies still served him with more wine.

"There is a big event in Goldcave eighteen years ago." The lady told Trevon.

"Hahaha. I haven't born at that time." Trevon laughed.

"Eighteen years ago, there was a rumor of a supreme treasure reappeared in the city. Many families in the city competed to get the treasures."

"Hm... I know about that story, Sister Sileas. My father told that many families chased a girl." Moire commented.

"A girl?" Trevon felt interested.

"Yes, the story is telling a supreme treasure appeared and the treasure cursed a girl. She became the key to find the treasure."

"Ah! That Story." Betiris said. "Older people always used this story to scare young ladies."

"Yes, the rumor said a girl was being naughty and didn't go home at night. So, she saw the treasure and cursed by it." Sileas said.

"Cursed?" Trevon becomes more interested.

"Yes. Anything that she touched would become a dehydrated corpse. That created a fear in the city."

"Ah!"

"People were afraid. Until the cultivation family started to chase the girl."

"Yes. Many families wanted to chase her for research."

The girls continued to pour more wine to Trevon. Trevon knew those ladies wanted him to purchase more wines.

"Ah! I think I need more wine. Please order the best wine for me!" Trevon wanted to know. He had experienced the deadly attack of a cliffhanger on the novels.

Floraid went outside to get more wine for Trevon.

"The event was a total chaos. Everyone fought for the ladies. Even her family members were turned into pawn during the competition."

"A pawn?" Trevon wondered.

"Yes, the lady and her family suddenly disappeared because of that chaos. Every family tried to get someone from her family during the case." Sileas continued her story.

"Yes. That is a curse which destroyed a family." Betiris talked while she poured more wine for Trevon. Trevon had to force those girls to drink some else, he would face danger too.

"In the end, two families found the closest clue to the lady. One of them was Rado's grandfather and his groups of mercenaries. On the other hand, was a small family."

"A small family and a mercenary had the advantages?" Trevon wouldn't believe the big families behind didn't get close to the clue faster.

"They had the clue to the girl's whereabouts."

"Then, what happened?"

"The two groups went into several battles. Bigger families also started to support one group and another."

"I remember this story. My father told me. Many powerful warriors were killed and disappeared during that period."

"So, Rado's elders killed during that mission?" Trevon received a cup from Floraid. The girl just returned with more wine bottles.

"No. Actually, Young Master Rado's elder returned safely. His Joacino family became the winner of the accident."

"I heard the losing family is Alesanto family." Floraid joined the conversation.

"Nevertheless, a rumor surfaced. A superior treasure was found in the girl's secret hideout."

"Yes. The gang rumor said that the Joacino elder presented the treasure to the Imperial family. He and his gang managed to become a nobility. They received some territories and became the vassal of Imperial families."

"However, this made Joacino family hated by the Ironlaw, their former master. Somehow Ironlaw family announced that Joacino family was no longer their vassal."

"Yes. At the same time, Bandeira family replaced Joacino family as one of Ironlaw's vassal family."

"Bandeira family declared a war with Joacino family. The reason was the revenge for the Alesanto family. Alesanto family was Bandeira's vassal family." The girls continued with their gossip. The topic turned more and more heated. Trevon even poured the wine for the girls, they looked like a group of friends who talked with each other.

"A war?" Trevon frowned a bit. [It seems the problem between Rado's family and Ainsley's family weren't simple.]

"Yes. A big fight happened in Goldcave. The smaller Joacino family was in danger. However, the Imperial families appeared. They forced the peace else Bandeira family would face the Imperial Families. Until now, the member of Alesanto and Bandeira would never talk to a Joacino."
