"Boss, how dare you people kill our boss..." a member of the Knights Order shouted, and he was quickly dragged into the crowd and given a severe beating.

By this time, the smarter members of the Knights Order had already fled, because the angry mob, fueled by the incident and the ensuing chaos, were attacking any Knights Order they saw, killing them without hesitation!

The power of the masses is indeed immense; in a short time, they dismantled this once rampant and violent gang!

After today, the whole town will be celebrating, with lanterns and decorations for several days, leaving passing travelers a little confused, wondering what day it is.

The town later changed its policy towards refugees, welcoming them to the city and helping them well. Some even let refugees stay and live with them, which made the refugees who fled there later feel flattered!

Ye Lang was also recorded in the history of the town's famous figures and his name has been passed down through generations!

Ye Lang, the person involved, was unaware that he had done a good deed. He was still confused, having only eaten a few bowls of noodles.

His important business was still in progress, and the excited scene made him have to wait and do his business later—acquiring supplies!

Soon, things began to calm down, and the one who calmed this agitated scene was none other than the Small City Lord, who had also joined in the beating among the crowd.

"Everyone, please stop! That's enough!" The Small City Lord tidied himself up and then shouted.

"Stop my ass, I haven't had enough fun yet... Ah, City Lord..." At first, no one paid any attention to this, but when someone later realized it was the City Lord, they stopped, and this act of stopping quickly spread.

Soon, the people near the Small City Lord dispersed!

"Today, our small town has rid itself of a scourge. It was actually my fault; I never knew our Regiment Commander was such a person! At the same time, we must thank this Young Master... May I ask, what is your name, Young Master?" the Small City Lord said after everyone had calmed down.

These words made several things clear. First, the city lord had confirmed that the death of the Knights Order Regiment Commander would not be pursued, which was a good thing for them.

At the same time, the Small City Lord apologized for his mistakes, which made the people of the town know that their lord was a good man and someone worthy of their love and respect.

Finally, there's Ye Lang, this peculiar Young Master among the refugees, who deserves everyone's gratitude!

"My name is Ye Lang!" Ye Lang announced his name, making sure everyone present, including the refugees, knew it.

"So it's Young Master Ye. Thank you so much for today. I wonder if you have time to come into the city for a visit, so I can show you some hospitality!" the Small City Lord said politely.

"Sorry, I don't have time!" Ye Lang replied. This wasn't because he was being impolite, but because it was a fact. He wanted to take these refugees to the Holy City as soon as possible to help more refugees.

He bought these supplies not just for the more than 1,000 refugees, but also for other things!

However, his words were too direct, making the Small City Lord a little embarrassed...

"City Lord, I'm sorry, our Young Master is just like that, a bit confused. Please don't take offense! Also, what he said is true. We still need to go and save more brothers and sisters who are suffering like us." The Blackie's hoarse voice rang out, explaining for Ye Lang and giving the Small City Lord a way out.

"Oh, is that so? Then thank you for your hard work!" said the Small City Lord, while feeling a little strange.

These people are refugees themselves, and they're asking refugees to help other refugees—this situation seems very strange to anyone!

"Alright, all of you bring over what you're selling, take your money back, one by one, you need everything!" Ye Lang said to the merchants.

"No need for money, you can have all these things for free. We'll find someone else to pay for them!" the merchants said.

"How can you not pay me? Take whatever you're entitled to, you can take more, it's fine. I'm a Prodigal Son, don't worry about saving me money!" Ye Lang said, expressing his strong protest against the other party's behavior of not taking money.

"..."

What was going on? Everyone was stunned, trying to figure out the meaning behind Ye Lang's words, unable to process it all at once.

Soon, everyone realized one thing: this peculiar young master Ye Lang was an absolute spendthrift. Unlike others, he would not spend a penny less, and he would be unhappy if he spent even a penny less.

So everyone consciously put down their goods and took the money. Of course, they would take the money at cost price. Taking more than that would not only make them look bad to others, but they would even look bad to themselves.

Everyone was very self-disciplined and orderly during this transaction, which also shortened the time considerably.

"What are you doing? Leave your goods behind and go get your money!!"

When some people who were refused, or who felt that their goods were not helpful for disaster relief, left on their own, Ye Lang called them back.

"But Young Master Ye, my goods are iron ore, you don't need them..." the man said apologetically.

"Who says we don't need it? I say we do! Just leave the stuff here!" Ye Lang said.

"Mine are building materials..."

"Stay here, no need to say more!"

"This is..."

"Stay here! All of you stay here! I don't want to repeat myself!!"

"..."

And so, Ye Lang kept all the goods, buying them all up regardless of whether he needed them or not!

In the end, the entrance to the small town was piled high with things. Although it was a small town, the things in this town were quite spectacular.

"Young Master Ye, do you need some people to transport this?" the transport merchants asked enthusiastically.

"No need, I have Space Ring!" Ye Lang put everything into his Space Ring.

"..." Damn, how could I forget this? But, being able to hold so much stuff, he truly lives up to his reputation as Young Master Ye Lang. Hmm, why do I feel like Young Master Ye Lang must be incredibly awesome?

While spatial items offer convenient storage, they also have certain limitations, namely, the storage space is not very large, unless it is a very rare item.

Of course, this "not big" is only relative!

"Let's go, let's set off for the Holy City!!"

And so, a large group of over a thousand people set off...

"Young Master, why do you want everything? There are so many things you don't have..." the Blackie couldn't help but ask afterward.

"It's useless now, but it will be useful later," Ye Lang replied softly.

When was it?

"We'll see when the time comes..." Ye Lang picked at his ear and waved his hand.

"..." The Blackie remained silent.

Clearly, Ye Lang himself didn't know what "when" meant. Yes, he would need it eventually; everything has its value!
