99 Disaster in Goldcave (1/2)

”Hahahaha!” Trevon laughed. He finally escaped the dangerous house.

”Heoheoheo!” Another laugh answered his laugh from his right side.

Trevon felt a cold sweat. He still remembered this laugh.

[Sh*t! The Debt Collector. Isn't this unfair?] Trevon wanted to cry. He knew he would fight debt collector, but not this fast. [Was he waiting outside for me?]

”There are four mice survived.” A fake voice commented on their escape. The source was a person in a black robe with an iron mask covered his face. He stood and faced the surviving people.

[Sigh... I don't want to become a novel's MC anymore. They always have bad luck.] He thought.

What was worse, Trevon saw a black dome covered his head and around him.

[Don't tell me?] Trevon remembered the dome in Hillbridge, but he didn't have a portal yet.

”A barrier formation. This will block entry and exit. Other people outside couldn't see, hear, or enter the formation. You are lucky this is a small one made with only one formation place. You have to find the formation weakness and attack that to break it. Gwahahaha.” Master Rabbink intentionally tell Trevon.

[Grrr!!! You really intentionally told that!] Trevon complained.

”Gwahahaha.” The Rabbink smiled. ”Well, you are the one who went the extra time here.”

”Who are you?!” Gazel shouted to the Debt Collector. Her voice was still melodious but also shaking full of hatred and anger.

”Who I am is not important... The most important is for you all to die!!!” The debt collector threw a bottle to Ramos, the guard. His voice seemed in ecstasy when he shouted at them to die.

[Sh*t!] Trevon knew about this method. He quickly threw a blazing talisman on the bottle.

Ramos also wanted to slash the bottle. However, the blazing talisman arrived first.

”BOOM!”

Ramos needed to jump back to avoid the flame. Even Trevon, Gazel, and Avia had to jump back to avoid the explosion.

”What are you doing?!” Ramos shouted to Trevon.

”Saving your life! You will become a monster if you touch the liquid inside.”

”Heoheoheo. How do you know?” The debt collector looked at Trevon. His eyes filled with curiosity.

”A hunch!” Trevon pretended as a mysterious young man and said in a cool tone. He couldn't say that he had seen the Debt Collector in Hillbridge, else he would be questioned by the Imperial guards.

”Oh! You are smart.” The debt collector praised Trevon. He clapped his hand. However, Trevon didn't feel happy hearing the fake voice and the fake praise.

”Why do you have to attack us? We didn't know each other?” Ramos shouted.

”Because I am the Debt Collector who will make your family pay their debt. Heoheoheo.” The Debt Collector took a vial on each hand.

”Our family's debt? We are an Ironlaw. Our family had never reneged on our debt. You must pick a wrong family.” Avia shouted.

”NO! Ironlaw family owed some blood to me. You can die now to pay me. Heoheoheo.” The Debt Collector threw two bottles this time still aimed at Ramos.

[Oh God! The girl is crazy.] Trevon thought. He countered the bottles with his talismans. Both sides were in a stalemate.

”Allow me to go! I am not an Ironlaw!” Trevon shouted.

Gazel, Avia, and Ramos looked at Trevon. [This Young Master is a coward.]

”You are not an Ironlaw? Who are you?” The Debt Collector looked at Trevon.

”I am only a patron.”

”A Patron. Hm...” The Debt Collector seemed to be in a deep thought.

”I am a McArthur!” Trevon thought that would make the Debt Collector release him. His family background wasn't common. No common person would mess with McArthur family.

”A McArthur?” The Debt Collector even deeper in thought.

[Gah? He doesn't know?] Trevon felt frustrated. ”You know the greatest family in the continent.” Trevon made a high gesture.

”That McArthur?” The Debt Collector seemed to brighten.

”Yes. If you know what's good for you, you are better to release me.”

[Do not worry! I will call some help after I go from here. Try to survive until I bring more help!] Trevon winked to Avia and Gazel and said in a spiritual sense. He didn't care about an old uncle like Ramos. However, if he could take a credit as a hero without any danger, he would.

”McArthur... You still have to die.”

”What? Don't you know that McArthur family had many Rank 3 warriors? If you hurt me, the family would hunt you until the end of the time.”

”Oooo. I am afraid. Heoheoheo. Precisely because you are a McArthur, you have to die. It is just now than later. I prefer to collect the debt now. Heoheoheo.”

[What? The Debt Collector also aims for my family?] Trevon felt shocked at the revelation. [Sh*t got real!]

”My father is Alvaro McArthur. A genius. I am his only son. He would never leave you or your family if you killed me. My grandfather is Douglas McArthur, the leader of Bluestar City. My grandmother is Issabella McArthur a Grand Elder of McArthur family. My grand uncle is Michael McArthur, the family leader.” Trevon tried his trump card.

”Hm... This is good. This is good. I can't believe I meet a big fish today. I want to kill you more. Heoheoheo.” The hoarse fake voice of Debt Collector was filled with happiness.

[Sh*t! This doesn't work.] Trevon complained. Usually, this worked when he met a cultivator in the city.

”Of course, it won't toward a certain daredevil.” Master Rabbink said. ”Have you read this method work in a novel?”

[Like in those novels?] Trevon had read some young masters' threats failed to materialize. Most often their families destroyed instead. He started to feel stupid. The avid novel readers knew those threats used as a gag in the novels.

[And I just use them?] Trevon couldn't believe himself. That was the instinct of a young master. He couldn't avoid using this tactic.

”Um... Please wait for a second!” Trevon shouted. [Sh*t! The Celestial Readers will think bad of me.]

”What?” The debt collector found the coward young master was amusing.

”Please consider I have never said those words! It is an embarrassment. Hahaha. I just want to practice the drama.” Since it was a failed effort, Trevon didn't think this would be cool.

The young master then turned serious and raised his sword toward the Debt Collector.”I will fight you to the death! Prepare to die!” He shouted in a heroic voice.

Gazel, Avia, and Ramos only looked into Trevon. They couldn't believe this young master was that shameless.

[No matter what, A family always has bad seeds.] They looked into each other and talked with a spiritual sense.

”Heoheoheo. You are a unique person. Too bad you are a McArthur.” The Debt Collector took more vials out of his robe.

”Hello? You are still using the same technique.” Trevon didn't feel too afraid of the bottles. He took more talismans and activated them. With Universe Store, he was a moving talisman bank.

”The same? Not really.” The debt collector threw a bottle. However, it was toward the entrance between the Debt Collector and Trevon's group.

It was very slow and high parabolic. Trevon, the twins, and Ramos easily avoid it with a back step. However, nothing happened.

”You missed us. Hahaha.” Trevon laughed. He could smell a fishy smell from the liquid.

”Miss? Who targeted you? Heoheoheo.” The Debt Collector laughed. He pulled the cap off another vial and poured on his body. However, it didn't have a smell at all.

”Eh?” Trevon felt surprised.

”The door!” Gazel shouted. From the door in front of them, some fallen bodies started to come out from inside the burning pleasure house. They aggressively removed the debris caused by Trevon's explosion using their punches and kicks.

”Elder Emma!” Avia shouted toward a fallen body.

[Sigh...] Trevon could see that fallen body should be a beautiful lady if she was alive. Too bad, the beauty had turned into a beast. He tried to check using his Scout skill.

[Name: Unnamed]

[Age: 0 Years]

[Sex: Female]

[Species: Fallen Body]

[Potential: 28/28]

[Determination: 0]

[Cultivation Speed: 0]

[Loyalty: 99]

[Talent: -]

[Ability: Scratch, Bite]

[Affiliation: -]

[What is this?] Trevon looked at the fallen body's Potential panel. She was a Primary Rank 2 fallen body.

”Oh, God!” Trevon shouted. Other than her, he saw the other fallen bodies also gathered to outside. He could count over a hundred fallen bodies using his spiritual sense.

”We can't fight them.” Ramos was the most experienced. Nevertheless, Trevon could hear a tone of fear in his voice. Especially, when Ramos saw his elder turned into a fallen body.

”Yes. You should die and become one of them. It is useless. Heoheoheo.” The Debt Collector laughed seeing Trevon and the rest stressed and panicked.

”Do not give up! Our family will send some help after they know this cage.” Ramos wanted to encourage the youngsters.

”You should give up! Even your main pavilion is under attack now. As long as it is Ironlaw family around Goldcave, all will turn into dust tomorrow.”

”What?!” Ramos felt agitated.

”Today is the day when Ironlaw family disappeared from this city. Heoheoheo.” The Debt Collector used a movement technique to move behind the incoming fallen bodies. However, the fallen bodies acted as the Debt Collector didn't exist.

”There is no use talking with a psychopath.” Trevon knew those main characters were a cold-hearted asshole. They killed even innocent people from the arrogant young master's family. As long as one has a blood relationship, those main characters would think it was fine and right to kill that person.
