Burn Your Home (2)

"Kid, you think you can mess with me? Let me tell you, even if a prime minister came to eat noodles here, he would have to pay. You're just a poor kid, don't think you can get away with this! I know you don't have any money, so you go wash the dishes to pay off your debt!" The boss was just as arrogant, it seemed he had seen a lot in the world.

"Fine, I'll wash it. Consider it something I owe you. Once I pay you back, I'll teach you a lesson. I'll burn your Black Shop down!" Ye Lang said resentfully.

At this moment, Ye Lang didn't seem to think that since he was burning down someone else's shop, why bother washing it? Wouldn't it be more straightforward to just set it on fire?

"I bet you wouldn't dare!" the boss said disdainfully. He also felt that since Ye Lang dared to burn down the shop, why bother washing his things? Wouldn't it be better to just set it on fire? After all, once everything was burned down, it would all be the same.

"Just you wait..."

After Ye Lang finished speaking, he went to wash his things. After he finished washing, he said to the shop owner, "Now, I don't owe you anything. If you want to live, run. I'm going to burn down your Black Shop!!"

"You dare!"

"Why wouldn't I dare!" Ye Lang picked up a jar of wine and smashed it over there. Instantly, the shop was filled with the fragrant aroma of wine. Ye Lang immediately held his breath, afraid that even a little bit of alcohol would make him drunk.

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Emperor? This is the place he personally nominated!" The shopkeeper was a little scared; what Ye Lang was doing had already exceeded his expectations.

"Scared? What's there to be scared of! I'm not from here, and even if he were in charge of your affairs, he wouldn't be able to find me!" Ye Lang said nonchalantly, continuing to pour wine and kerosene.

"No! Please stop! You can't do this! If you want to burn down my shop, then burn me down with you!!" The shop owner rushed in, standing among the wine and kerosene, looking as if he would risk his life to save the shop.

Of course, before this, he had tried to resist and suppress Ye Lang, but all of them failed. He already knew that Ye Lang was a highly skilled swordsman.

If I had known he was this strong, I wouldn't have messed with him. That bastard! If he's so powerful, why did he listen to me and wash my things before?!

The boss didn't understand why Ye Lang would be willing to wash things; it seemed completely unnecessary.

He wouldn't understand Ye Lang's meaning. Ye Lang was washing things to pay off a debt for food, it was that simple. As for other things, he would take care of them separately and wouldn't mix them up.

Therefore, he will repay the money he owes others; he absolutely will!

"If you want to die, I won't stop you!" Ye Lang said calmly, then lit a tinderbox and threw it over without hesitation, regardless of where the boss was standing.

"Ah..." When the boss saw Ye Lang throw the tinder over, he immediately ran outside at top speed, as fast as a shooting star.

Ye Lang is the kind of person who only talks; if it really came down to death, he'd be the first to run!

Even if he doesn't run away, it doesn't matter, because someone like that is useless in this world anyway...

Instantly, the flames turned into a raging fire, which quickly spread throughout the entire store. Fortunately, there weren't many people there. This store is usually not very busy, let alone at this time.

The fire quickly engulfed the entire shop, even the imperial-bestowed golden signboard!

"Are you crazy?" the boss screamed in despair.

"Yes, I'm crazy. I do whatever I want. This is your compensation!" Ye Lang said with a smile, tossing a copper coin to the shopkeeper.

"..."

Normally, Ye Lang would have thrown out gold coins of much higher value, even exceeding the value of the store, but he didn't today.

This boss was just unlucky to run into Ye Lang, a person who doesn't follow any rules. And what's even more unlucky is that he ran into Ye Lang when he was pretending to be poor.

It's no wonder this shop owner is so unlucky. It would have been acceptable for him to extort the nobles, since they were willing to do so for the emperor's gold lettering. But he shouldn't have extorted the common people too. Ye Lang wasn't the first, and if this shop continues, he won't be the last.

So when this shop burned down, countless people cheered and cursed the owner, saying he deserved it!

"You madman!! You owe me money for my shop!" The shop owner lunged at him, his tearful appearance pitiful to behold, but Ye Lang simply kicked him back.

"Didn't I already lose money?" Ye Lang said calmly.

"Pay back? You think you can pay back a copper coin?" the boss shouted angrily. Their actions, along with the fire, drew a crowd of onlookers.

"Even a copper coin is money. Your shop is worth about that much. Look how dilapidated it is, and it's even burning down..." Ye Lang pointed to the burning shop.

"... It's all your fault for setting the fire!" The boss wanted to beat Ye Lang up, but he knew he couldn't win. Ye Lang had just easily taught him a lesson.

"..." The onlookers fell silent. They already knew a little bit about the situation and were inwardly shocked that there were people like Ye Lang who burned down someone's shop and then claimed that the shop was worthless because it had been burned down!

But honestly, this shop should be burned down!!

"Yeah, I put it there! It saves time this way, otherwise it's a hassle to dismantle it... Wait, time, damn it, you bastard, I still have things to do, you've wasted so much of my time, burning your shop down would be too good for you! Just tell me, where do you live!" Ye Lang suddenly remembered that he was still active and had already spent a lot of time here.

Perhaps Ye Lang is unaware that everyone active in the city is waiting for Ye Lang, and the whole world is waiting for him to appear and end this event, which is already a foregone conclusion.

"Where do I live? Are you going to send me money?" The shopkeeper was confused for a moment about what Ye Lang meant by asking this. All he could think of was that Ye Lang was going to compensate him and send the money to his house.

"No! I'm going to burn your house down!" Ye Lang said calmly.

"..."

Everyone fell silent, staring blankly at Ye Lang, thinking: Who is this person?!

"Forget it, I don't have time to waste with you. Consider yourself lucky, just don't get bumped into next time! I'm leaving now!!" Ye Lang seemed to feel that there was no point in staying any longer, so he turned and left.

He didn't suddenly leap away like a master, but walked away slowly like an ordinary person!

Of course, the boss was still unwilling to accept this outcome, unwilling for Ye Lang to leave like this. He lunged forward, only to be knocked back by Ye Lang with a sword sheath.

In the end, the boss had no choice but to give up. What else could he do? He couldn't beat them, and if he went up and they drew their swords without sheaths, he would just be throwing his life away for nothing.
