70 An Oath In The Name of The Creator

[Why does she come at the same time?] Viero regretted. His carriage broke on the way. He also needed to replace some carriage carriers. While he wanted to come in a grander fashion, in the end, he decided to walk.

When he wanted to rush, suddenly a few birds dropped their poo and stopped him on his run. The ancient elder walked a bit and some merchants had their merchandise thrown into the street. He needed to wait for the road to be cleaned. That was not all. When he wanted to jump between rooftop, one of them couldn't handle his step. He fell into the house. Before the ancient elder finally decided to walk slowly to reach the arena.

"Congratulations for your rank up, Lady Issabella." Viero opened the talk.

"That is nice of you, Master Viero. Is this the famous Redwood Family's Leader Master Claudio Redwood?" Issabella smiled. She wore a veil to prevent people saw her face. Else, that would be another chaos. [This Redwood family could arrive at the same time? How could this happen? I want to arrive earlier to get the situation controlled. Those delays really took my time.]

Issabella also faced many delaying accidents. It was normal in the beginning, but after she got closer to the arena, she faced those accidents. A road filled with people forced her to jump into the rooftop. Nevertheless, she stepped on a water pipe. The water drenched her robe and she needed to take some time to change her robe. After a few more accidents, she arrived at the same time as Viero.

"It is my pleasure to meet Lady Issabella. Master Vince, I hope you are fine." Claudio greeted Issabella and Vince.

"It is nice to meet Master Viero and Master Claudio." Vince said. He knew his responsibility was to make sure Trevon's safety. Issabella and Viero were the leaders in this discussion.

"I heard my grandson had won something from your family's arena." Issabella smiled. "I want to celebrate with him."

Viero really wanted to cry. Yet he needed to show his appearance. "We need to check something before awarding the reward. I would welcome Lady Issabella to wait."

"Do you think we manipulate things? My McArthur family also a member of the World Arena Union, we wouldn't dare to manipulate things." Issabella said thing clearly.

"Of course, I believe your family." Viero said. He didn't want to mess with McArthur family directly. A false accusation would result in a war between McArthur and Redwood family.

Cultivators and common people would support the party with the right cause. Their Redwood who renegaded their arena's winning ticket would be the target of people's wrath.

"Does that mean? You accuse my grandson of cheating?" Issabella started to use her aura. The air the atmosphere started to feel heavy.

"A Peak Rank 3 warrior!" A cultivator shouted. The crowd started to get excited. They couldn't get close because of the pressure, but they wouldn't miss seeing a Peak Rank 3 warrior.

"No. Perhaps somebody else influenced the match." Viero didn't dare to say bad things about Trevon. That was the grandson of Issabella and that equaled saying a young master managed to influence their arena.

While they were talking, an old person came. He brought in some people.

"Vaulen greet Family Leader and Ancient Elder." The old person greeted Claudio and Viero.

"I have people who had admitted to manipulating the match. We have to annul some of today's bets." He showed the people behind him.

This was the last method for Redwood family. They would renegade on some matches while accepting some losses on other matches. This would reduce their damage by a lot. The biggest problem was because Trevon used rolling gambling to make such a huge damage. If they could annul a few, their damage wouldn't be this huge.

These three people had agreed to testify for Redwood family. It was a difficult thing for him to make them agreed with the acting.

Issabella smiled faintly. She knew it would never be easy to hurt a big family. Redwood family decided to destroy some of their prestige by admitting someone managed to influence their arena. It might be a damage in the short-term.

Trevon knew those people were heavily injured in today fights, they would no longer be able to fight anymore. [Sh*t! Do they go this low? Those people only wanted some retirement funds.] The young master couldn't believe his winning would be destroyed in this way. This was too low.

[You won't get your money, Rabbink.]

"What?" Master Rabbink didn't like how this went. It had dreamed of the foods that it would purchase with the money.

The Redwood family had three people who testified that they were paid to lose. One of them was Little Rio. He was already crippled, so he might get some very big pension for his testimony. After today, they would never be able to take part in the arena again. They would be blacklisted in the Redwood City and even other arenas. [Those warriors must get some big money from this testimony.]

"What happened?" Viero looked into the three people.

"I was told by someone to lose on my match. This money is the proof." Little Rio took a pouch with lots of money from his bag. "I am afraid to lose unconvincingly so I use a technique to get a backlash. However, I regretted it. Therefore, I have to testify."

Viero almost wanted to puke blood. [Why did they use this fighter? He already couldn't be used. Who would believe someone intentionally got a backlash? Luckily, the huge money could be used.] He saw ten thousand spirit stones in the bag. This was small compared to their family's potential losses.

"An intentional backlash?" Issabella smiled. "We will call the World Arena Union to check your testimony."

"Who paid you?" Viero asked.

"I... I don't know. It was an old man. I have never seen him before." Little Rio described an imaginative person.

[At least, Vaulen was smart and not accused McArthur family.] Viero could accept this.

"Who would pay someone like you to lose? The Big Beard was the champion. You will lose even if you fight with all your powers." Trevon complained.

"I made an oath in the name of my father. Do you think a fighter in my level could get a backlash? Somebody asked me to lose the match." Little Rio had nothing to lose.

If it was unintentional, he would lose face for getting a backlash in public. Manipulating a match also made him lose face, at least he got big money for his retirement.

"Tell him to make an oath in the name of The Creator!" Master Rabbink said. It wanted to protect its food research fund.

"Make an oath in the name of The Creator." Trevon urged the Little Rio.

Issabella wanted to stop Trevon. Heavenly Phoenix believed in the Aurmoth, the Fire God. [While it is fine to use other Gods' names, why does Trevon use Master Creator's name?]

"Who is afraid? I swear in the name of The Creator that what I have said was correct." Little Rio didn't afraid, he wasn't a believer of any Gods.

"Got you! You will be judged by This Rabbink! Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink laughed "Master Rabbink Assembly had decided in one hundred percent to zero that he was guilty. He gets a heavenly tribulation as a punishment." It read the voting result on its Discord channel.

A red and blue cloud started to gather above the arena.

"What is that?"

"It is beautiful."

"Is this an omen?"

"HEAVENLY TRIBULATION!!! It's real! It's real!" One person started to scream. He had read about the tribulation on a book.

"Is that Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Heavenly Tribulation!!!" People started to scream. The rest was shocked too.

Little Rio was afraid. [Is this sh*t real? Isn't the promise using God's promise had been proven as fake?] The big man started to shake his body.

"Why are you still here?" Master Rabbink asked Trevon. "You should get as far as you could from this tribulation." The Rabbink fled as fast as it could. It disappeared in an instant.

"What?" Trevon was shocked. People saw Trevon's shock. [Is this a joke? Why was he shocked? Did that young master just ask for the swear on a whim and it happened for real?]

"This can't be real. Run!!!" Trevon quickly ran towards his grandmother. [If the Rabbink runs, I should run too.]

"Everybody runs!" One of the people started to shout.

"Run!"

"Run!"

A huge stampede happened. Trevon was protected by Vince to run away from the arena.

They went outside the range of the tribulation cloud. Little Rio also tried to run, but people found that the cloud was following him.

"Do not get close to Little Rio! He brought the tribulation." People started to scream.

Other cultivators even kicked Little Rio far away from them. He was no longer a cultivator, he couldn't protect himself from other cultivators. The big man was even weaker than common people with his injury.

"I judge you lie to me!" A sound appeared in the sky. "Heavenly Tribulations for you and your family! Gwahahaha. This sounds cool... Ups. Sorry, forget to close the mic. Please forget it! Gwahahaha."

Some people started to bow and pray. For the common people, Gods were their salvation. Some were so shocked at the strange message.

[What are you doing?] That extra sentence was embarrassing. Luckily, people were afraid of Heavenly Tribulation and didn't nitpick the God.

"One of my clones in charge of the announcement made a mess. Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink waited in a place a lot further but Trevon could hear its voice.

[So, you could judge people as long as they make an oath on your name?] Trevon asked.

"Yes, as long as they used my name, I could hear and responsible for the judgment. When you become a divine being, you could also hear it."

[Would this disturb you?] Trevon asked Master Rabbink. He could imagine if one thousand people called him when he slept. That would be annoying.

"No worries. The Creator is only a title. While it counts as me, to call a God, one must know my full name. This title would only affect if I was in the area. Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink laughed.

"I am sorry. I am sorry. I am only paid to say that!" Little Rio begged to the sky.

"It is rejected. Gwahahaha." Another voice was heard. The Rabbink's voice was full of happiness. It had managed to replace the previous clone as the announcer.

The colorful cloud started to grow dense. A spark of red and blue appeared.

"Duaaaar!!!" The first tribulation fell down. It was a fire and ice tribulation.

"Achkkkk!!!!" That was the last word of Little Rio.

Trevon didn't want to describe how it felts to be in such tribulation. The scar from tribulation created a damage on the ground. It was burning and freezing at the same time. Anything around one-hundred-meter from Little Rio turned into a strange phenomenon.

The beautiful garden of the arena was gone. It turned into a sea of fire and ice. One dome even destroyed. This place would be a tourist attraction in Redwood City, a new wonder. Some religious sects even used the place as a pilgrim location later.

"This is the heavenly tribulation." People started to speak. Most people only opened their mouth. They forgot to close it.

"The show is over." Master Rabbink solemnly said. With this serious expression, Trevon even doubted that he saw that Master Rabbink was the first to run.

[Why did you run?]

"The tribulation would target everyone in the area. Its damage would depend on the target. If this Rabbink was too close I would get targeted too." Master Rabbink said. "My tribulation would be enough to destroy your planet."

[This tribulation even could kill you!] Trevon was afraid. If it was targeted the Rabbink, he would die too. Even Margareth and Cecillia would die too.

"Nope, this Rabbink is strong. Nevertheless, this Rabbink would turn into grilled Rabbink. Safety first is your family motto!" Master Rabbink proudly said.

[You have asked me to face danger.] Trevon complained. He was also a proponent of the safety-first motto. Nevertheless, the Rabbink had asked him to have some adventures.

"Uhuk... Uhuk... Uhuk..." Master Rabbink pretended it didn't hear Trevon.

"So, we consider his testimony as a false." Issabella smiled. "Who else had admitted?"

The two people left was afraid. Viero knew this was a big trouble. With a God involved, the people would believe that their family was doing something improper.

"I took my testimony back." One of the fighters quickly lost his calm.

"I also..." The last person also admitted.

"Impudent!!!" Viero quickly used his family Redwood Swordsmanship Level 3. A huge torrent of sword slashes was sent to the two people. "This is the punishment for lying in front of Redwood family."

The two fighters couldn't defend themselves. They were unprepared and they had a huge gap in power with Viero.

"I am sorry for this stupidity. Redwood family would pay the winning ticket." Viero had to interfere. If this kept going their family's name would be destroyed.

The name was the most important thing for the family. A name would be inherited by the future generations. The elders might die one day, but the family's name would still alive on their descendant's hands. Especially since a God had been involved, his family had to pay.

"You, Vaulen. You have to be sure of their testimony first. You will be punished for this carelessness." Viero tried to repair his family name.

"Yes, Ancestor." The elder could only accept the punishment.

"Then, lets us deal with the small detail tomorrow." Issabella smiled. At last, she got something big to occupy Redwood family.

However, this event also made her thought. [Master Creator might be a God, a realm above immortal. This is why he didn't care about Trevon's safety. We are only an ant in his eyes. The family should forget about trying to use him.] She made up her mind.

The crowds finally dispersed. Trevon returned with his family to the pavilion and Redwood family also retreated to their pavilion.

"Do you know why I did that?" Viero asked Vaulen Redwood.

"Please Ancient Elder enlighten me!" Vaulen prepared himself.

"It is because of your stupidity!!!" Viero lost his composure. "Why do you pick some people like him? Who would believe a person who was crippled?"

Vaulen stayed silent. [Do you think it was easy? Who would dare to make such accusation in front of McArthur family for money? Rich and Powerful fighters wouldn't. Only people who was close to death would! I have already asked others fighters.] He didn't dare to speak his heart. That wouldn't solve the problem.

"Hmph..." Viero finally managed to control his emotion. He knew he couldn't fault Vaulen. The biggest problem was the sudden tribulation. Even he didn't dare to make fault of the God.

"How should we settle this?" Claudio asked.

"Send some people to compensate the dead! Also, remove our fighters and staffs from the arena. They know too much. Asked them to join our family! Do not leave the troubles." Viero didn't believe today's event. The long heritage of Redwood family faced some disasters on his watch.

"Yes, Ancestor." Claudio knew Viero didn't want to involve in the small details.

"We lost today battle." Viero had to admit. "I want to rest. You take care of the negotiation with McArthur family."

While the Redwood family was busy discussing their offer, Trevon was escorted by his grandmother to the family pavilion.

"So, this little brother prefers a young girl than this elder sister?" Issabella asked. Trevon had asked to drop him in his house tonight.

"Yes, I need to do something for Master Creator." Trevon said.

"Are those Master Creator's doing?"

"Which one?"

"The bet, the tribulation." Issabella ensured the carriage was isolated using her spiritual energy."

"He only helped a bit." Trevon didn't want to answer in detail. That would be troublesome.

"Is he that powerful?"

"No. He ran the first." Trevon took a jab to Master Rabbink.

"Who? This Rabbink is just too fast." Master Rabbink said. "Who would stay and wait for the target to run into you?"

"Eh? The tribulation didn't come from him?"

"That is hard to explain, Elder Sister."

"Why did he help you to get so much money?"

"It is because he got a bigger share than me. He wanted to use that money to buy foods." Trevon was afraid his family would delay Master Rabbink's money. The Rabbink could turn crazy.

"Oh..." Issabella had so many thoughts on her mind. [This Master Creator could decide a battle on his whim. If he needed money like Trevon said, he could easily manipulate any gambling. It is impossible that he is looking for money. Yet, he asked for a share from Trevon's bet.] She was confused.

"Does he ask the share of family's winnings?" Issabella didn't want to have a bad relationship with this super powerful expert. If necessary, she would agree to give all the money to the Master Creator.

"Your grandmother is far better than you. She had a good eyesight. Remember! You could only take what is yours. The rest is for this Rabbink. Gwahahaha." Master Rabbink felt happy. It would have an extra fund for its food research.

[What?] Trevon felt cheated. If that happened, the Rabbink would get over six billion and he got only two and a half million spirit stones.

"As in the deal. You will only get two and a half million spirit stones. Gwahahaha."

"No need. He didn't make the deal with the family." Trevon said to his grandmother.

"Hey! I don't say that." Master Rabbink felt unhappy.

[That is not inside our deal. My winning is the one shared with you. You have agreed to the deal.] Trevon knew the Rabbink always true to the deal.

"Gah!!!" Master Rabbink couldn't refute.

"Let's say the family wanted to gift it to him!" Issabella said.

"Hear! This is my gift. Gwahahaha."

Trevon looked to the happy Rabbink.

[I only get two and a half million.] Trevon complained.

"No need. Elder Sister could just increase the portion in the dining hall." He then looked into the Rabbink.

"By ten times. No. Twenty times. Add new chiefs and new menus! That would be enough. This master wouldn't care whether the family destroyed or survived in an accident." Trevon reminded his grandmother. [If she thought that she could make some connection to this Rabbink, that is wrong. This Rabbink is as shameless as I am.] Trevon had to admit.

"That isn't too bad. You know my portion." Master Rabbink didn't feel too disappointed. It had tasted the food in the dining hall. The foods were good for mortal realm standard. Money was never a problem for the Rabbink, it could create a few spirit stones mines when necessary but it was too lazy to mine mortal spirit stones.

"I will tell that to the kitchen." Issabella said.

A few minutes later they arrived at Trevon's house. "Here you go my little dragon! To the beautiful maid!" She teased Trevon.

"Until tomorrow, Elder Sister."

Trevon returned to his room after he sold Mr. Bow daily boxes. He went to his room and returned Nana to his universes. This mouse had enjoyed multiple meals today when he painted in the arena. She also slept comfortably in the VIP room.

Trevon fed those small rabbinks and pressed the troublemeter for another heavy rain.

"I am wet!" Trevon complained. He quickly returned to his room, yet he slipped. "Brak...!"

"I had already got a rain!" He complained.

"You got slipped because of rain. The rain is not the trouble." Master Rabbink explained to Trevon.

Trevon only angrily gazed the Rabbink which gave him so many troubles.

Trevon took a nice bath with his 1crowbar products. He could get anything he wanted from the Universe Store. The young master went to his bed and borrowed the tablet from Master Rabbink.

"Wow, there were already some chapters for my novel." Trevon said.

"Yep, the time is different. You took five chapters for a day." Master Rabbink said. "This couldn't be helped, sometimes a realm has faster time movement. However, the same realm could be slower at other time."

Trevon didn't know what Master Rabbink said. "Hey, I got a reply to my review! Look Harem is a must! Hahaha!" Trevon showed PronXZinn's comment on his review. "Look at this DynamicNotes's comment. You are a shameless author! Hahaha." Trevon felt happy with some Celestial Readers agreed with him.

"What are you writing?" Master Rabbink looked into its smartphone.

"What do you mean by Poor Trevon?" Trevon read Master Rabbink's comment.

"I just write 140 characters. Poor Trevon, Stupid Trevon, Stinky Trevon, ..., and finally Single Trevon." Master Rabbink started to check its Power Stones.

"Look! I got some power stones!" Master Rabbink felt happy. "Gwahahaha."

Master Rabbink saw power stones from some familiar name. "Gwahahaha This Rabbink needs to thank MrDhull, WintersEnd, DivineSovereign, renifer, akeno01, PixelKid, Roshisamurai, EternalGrowth, and PenNoob." It wrote in the author's note before publishing a chapter.

"This MrDhull always gave you some Power Stones. How could he have so many? Also, why did you ask me to press the vote when I was painting?" Trevon was annoyed by Master Rabbink. The Rabbink often asked him to go to the toilet. He was ordered to press the vote with power stone during his painting time.

Imagine those girls saw him entering the toilet often. [What did they think he did inside? Voting a novel with Power Stones in a strange artifact. Nobody would believe that.] Trevon complained in his heart.

"This is to make your story popular. Higher ranking meant there is a higher chance people could read it. You will get more fans." Master Rabbink explained to Trevon.

"What is it for? Just vote yourself! You got my account in here."

"That is your vote."

Trevon didn't want to argue. At last, he got some extra time to read his chapter and left some comments during the day. It was a free rental when he needed to vote. He continued to read his novel.

"This Luna girl is dangerous. Do you where she is?" Trevon asked Master Rabbink. He would find her again. The young master had decided to unveil her this time. [I got so much money now. I will just buy those twenty boxes now. Hahahaha.]

Trevon wanted to see the beauty behind the veil. Based on Master Rabbink description in the novel, he believed the girl was a beauty but with a questionable character. [This type of girl is only good for painting model. She would be too dangerous if being too close.]

He continued to read his own novel. [This is a bad reminder. I felt so poor that time.] He read when he lost all his treasures.

[Not at this appearance!] Trevon couldn't believe Master Rabbink wrote his ugly appearance when he was frustrated. He quickly passed the chapter.

Trevon then reminded about the sexy receptionist. [Should I visit her tomorrow? Wait! Where does she work now? The place is still under construction.] He continued his reading.

[This was the story of when I first met Master Rabbink.] He arrived at Chapter 15. It was just about two to three weeks ago. Yet he had changed a lot. [I had started to cultivate again because of the danger. At least the cultivation wasn't that hard. I just needed to repeat and point at a table.]

[Eh? This Seiyuu isn't a person?] Trevon finally realized. "Hey! What is this 'carrot and donkey'?" Trevon finally realized he was being trapped by Master Rabbink. "You even lie about that cherry and papaya."

"It wasn't all lies, right? After you got lots of money, you could upgrade the core, and we could go to the next lesson." Master Rabbink said. "Imagine a planet full with beautiful jadelike ladies, a ladies-only-planet. All for you." Master Rabbink knew how to handle Trevon.

"Yes. Hwehwehwe." Trevon started to imagine things.

[Finally, return to the novel writing.] Master Rabbink finally got some free time. [It was hard being a writer and a God's teacher at the same time. Especially with this student.] It complained.
