Chapter 228 (1/2)

The Robbery (3)

However, based on what was happening now, it looked like the former was more likely!

Then again, if the robbers knew he was an expert, then they wouldn’t ambush him here like this, losing so many men in the process!

That was why meeting the youth was probably an accident. Like how Ye Lang and the rest met them- just a coincidence!

“Why would you run? They’ve spotted us so we should just stay. We’ll give them however much money they demand,” said Ye Lang, pointing.

Some of the robbers were already approaching. If they ran, they’d definitely be hunted down- that would just end with unnecessary accidents.

Ye Lang would be a very cooperative robbery victim. He would give them however much money they wanted. There was so much money he didn’t know what to spend it on, so of course he’d be happy to have someone help out!

If they wanted his life, then obviously he wouldn’t give them that!

Unfortunately, Ye Lang’s dream didn’t come true as he hoped. The robbers glanced at the carriage, then at the coachman.

Many of them walked away then, only leaving behind a few who said with the same nonchalance---

“We know you don’t have much from your broken carriage. Pay us a small tax and leave us!”

Obviously, the robbers treated them as commoners or even some poor people. They didn’t think anyone would be using this as a disguise.

Even if they were faking it, they’d have someone with them- not just one lone carriage!

After robbing so many people, they were experienced enough to know that the people in this carriage were either 1) someone very poor and didn’t need any protection or 2) someone you cannot afford to cross and also didn’t need any protection.

No matter who they were, taking a little protection money was fine. Even the commoners would have a little money while the ones they couldn’t afford to offend would usually pay them to not waste time.

However, this time they had indeed encountered someone they shouldn’t have offended. This one was an exception though, for he didn’t pay them a little and then leave!

“This is what I have…” The coachman clenched his teeth, paying what little money he had in exchange for his own safety. He’d forgotten that Ye Lang could’ve covered this fee.

At this point, he just wanted everything to end. He could talk to Ye Lang later!

However, Ye Lang was upset. He shouted from inside---

“What? Who dares look down on me, the master prodigal son of a rich family! You think you could just demand a small fee to chase me away?”

“?!” Everyone didn’t understand. What he said was odd, very odd!!

“It’s fine, you all can pass through, you look very poor. Don’t waste our time, we have bigger clients!” waved the robbers after a moment of stunned silence.

According to their understanding, the guy inside must’ve mistaken or he wasn’t sane. Yeah. If that were the case, then they should just let the crazy man leave as soon as possible.

In the past, they’d consider teaching the passengers a lesson but they had no time now.
