Chapter 546: Chapter 463: Price Hike on the Spot, New Tricks, Two Big Fires (7,400 words for monthly ticket)_4

He hadn’t been hit.

He broke down even more.

"Are you the homeowner?" a police officer who was conducting an investigation at the scene came up and asked.

Yamada Shinryu grabbed the officer, his emotions running high, "Has the cause of the fire been found?"

"Have you offended anyone? We found residual gasoline around your house; we preliminarily suspect arson." The police officer pried his hand away as he spoke.

"Idiot!" Yamada Shinryu’s eyes suddenly filled with bloodshot veins, and then he ignored the police officer and ran madly toward Yagyu Tao’s home without looking back.

The people he had offended were not few, but recently, the only person he had offended was Yagyu Tao, and the only person who would have the courage and motive to set fire to his house was also Yagyu Tao.

"Hey! Where are you going? If you want to catch the arsonist, cooperate with our police investigation!"

The police officer shouted repeatedly behind him, but Yamada Shinryu turned a deaf ear, fixated only on killing Yagyu Tao.

When he arrived at Yagyu Tao’s home, his eyes red, he kicked the door loudly, "Open the door! Open it now!"

"Mr. Yamada..." Mrs. Yagyu opened the door.

"Get out of the way!" Without letting her finish, Yamada Shinryu shoved her to the ground and burst into the house to see Yagyu Tao having breakfast with his henchmen, and without another word, reached out to grab Yagyu Tao’s collar.

But just as he extended his hand, two of Yagyu Tao’s henchmen jumped up and pinned him down on the table, causing plates and bowls to clatter to the floor.

"Let go of me! Let go!" Yamada Shinryu, his head pressed against the table, pinned down by two men, struggled continuously and glared fiercely at Yagyu Tao, "Bastard! You dare to torch my house, I won’t let you get away with it!"

"Yamada Shinryu, you need evidence to talk, I empathize with your house being burnt, but that’s no reason to slander me! Or would you believe I could sue you for defamation?" Relying on the numerical advantage and not wanting to lose face in front of his men, Yagyu Tao appeared very assertive.

"Pah!" Yamada Shinryu spat at Yagyu Tao’s face and hissed through clenched teeth, "So, you dare do but not accept it, huh? The police found residual gasoline near my house, if not you, then who? It’s because I refused to sign the contract, you burned my house!"

"Did you see me do it? Or did the police say it was me?" Yagyu Tao sneered, lightly poking Yamada Shinryu’s face with his chopsticks, "But let’s get back to our discussion, your house is burnt down, so go ahead and sign the contract, at the original price."

"Go to hell! The land is mine; even if there’s a single brick left on it, I won’t move! $500,000 isn’t enough, I want a million! Otherwise, don’t expect me to sign!" Yamada Shinryu breathed heavily.

Yagyu Tao’s eyes flickered with a brutal gleam, and after a moment’s thought, he stood up and left, only to return shortly with a seal and the demolition contract for Yamada Shinryu’s home. He cleared the table of plates and placed the contract on the surface.

"Get him to sign and mark his thumb."

Since it had come to this point, they would just force Yamada Shinryu to sign the contract, uncompromisingly. Once they could secure this final demolition contract, it would be handed over in its entirety to Beiyuan Construction Co., Ltd.

Once Yamada Shinryu caused trouble afterward, it would no longer involve him, as Beiyuan Construction would handle him.

"Alright."

Two henchmen held Yamada Shinryu down firmly, and one henchman stuffed a pen into his hand, grabbing his hand and forcing him to scrawl his name messily on the contract.

"Let go of me! Ah! You bastards!"

After signing, the henchman grabbed his hand again, pressed it into the ink pad, and stamped it over the name.

"Boss, it’s done."

The henchman handed the signed contract to Yagyu Tao.

Yagyu Tao took the contract and blew on it to speed up the drying of the ink, then smugly patted Yamada Shinryu’s face, "Mr. Yamada, thanks for your cooperation. Your name is clearly written on the contract and your thumbprint is also stamped. If you dare obstruct the demolition again, Beiyuan Construction can surely have you arrested, you can’t fight against a big corporation, so why bother?"

"Son of a bitch! I’m going to kill you all! I’m going to kill you all!" Yamada Shinryu, trembling all over, glared at Yagyu Tao with a venomous look and screamed with all his might.

Yagyu Tao sighed, "Give him the money."

A gang member took out the prepared compensation and threw it on Yamada Shinryu, "Scram."

The other two gang members also let him go.

"Wait, you bastards, just you wait!" Yamada Shinryu didn’t pick up the money. After gritting his teeth and dropping that line, he turned and left without looking back.

One gang member, looking at the scattered money on the ground, said uneasily, "Boss, that kid didn’t take a single dollar, he’s got vengeance on his mind."

"It’s fine, after we hand over the contract to Beiyuan Construction Co., Ltd, let them deal with him if he causes any trouble." Yagyu Tao reassured his subordinate, but then changed his tone, "But we can’t be too careful. You guys should stay at my house for now, just to be safe."

"Alright! Then we’ll continue to be a bother, big brother."

"Saying such polite words among brothers, since he doesn’t want the money, well, let’s split it."

"Oh! Thank you so much, big brother." Upon hearing they’d split the money, the gang members immediately showed bright smiles and repeatedly thanked him.

Mrs. Yagyu, who had watched everything, felt her husband was going too far, but she didn’t dare say a word.

At noon, Yagyu Tao rushed with all the eviction contracts to Beiyuan Construction Co., Ltd.

After handing over the contract, he finally felt relieved and returned home refreshed.

With the "sword of Damocles" removed, Yagyu Tao and his gang members felt a post-disaster joy. They bought a few bottles of liquor in the evening to celebrate and got completely drunk.

In the dead of night, a sneaky figure carrying a large oil drum approached the Yagyu family’s house—it was Yamada Shinryu. In the darkness, his facial features were fierce and terrifying.

He first poured oil at the doorstep and on the walls of the Yagyu house, then used a crowbar to seal the door from outside, and finally lit a fire and left.

Boom!

The fire erupted instantly and grew fiercer, the thick smell of smoke waking Mrs. Yagyu, who, in a daze, coughed as she got out of bed. When she saw the raging fire outside, she screamed, "Ah! Fire! It’s on fire!"

The drunken Yagyu Tao and several gang members were awakened by the thick smoke, and their drunkenness instantly evaporated.

"Fire! Boss! It’s on fire! What do we do!"

Yagyu Tao got up and, seeing the huge fire and thick smoke in the house, was shocked, furious, and panicked; he said in a pale voice, "Fuck! It must be that madman Yamada Shinryu! Quick! Try to open the door!"

He hadn’t expected Yamada Shinryu to resort to this.

Now, there were seven or eight people in his house! Hadn’t Yamada thought about the consequences of his actions?

"No, boss! Cough, cough, cough... The fire is too intense, the door won’t open, it’s locked from the outside!"

"Yamada Shinryu is after our lives!"

"Ah! Someone help! Is there anyone who can save us!" Yagyu Tao and the others cried out in despair, calling for help while frantically running around the house like headless flies, looking for any chance of survival.

The fire alerted the neighbors in the area; however, unlike before when Yamada’s house had been set on fire and neighbors spontaneously helped to extinguish it, this time not a single person did the same. In the darkness, a crowd gathered, all silently watching from a distance as the fire spread.

They watched as Yagyu Tao, his family, and his gang members struggled in the flames, wailing, desperately beating at the door, their voices gradually diminishing until they disappeared.
