chapter 5

The lackey felt really humiliated and greatful at the same time because there wasn't any familiar faces around. The three old men and Tang Yan sat round on the ground and began to eat the food madam Shu had prepared for them.

"Old third, I heard that some street crooks have begun to run rampant near madam Shu's home saying that the whole building had been bought by them for their operations and that the building would serve as their hideout" old first said

"Obviously it's what they'll say since the government had paid less attention to the place "old third replied sipping down the soup that was served"if possible I think it'd be best for her to stay with Tang Yan since his neighborhood is nice"

"Hey you foggies why no allow her to stay with you people, compared to my home you guys home is large" Tang Yan retroted

"Come on, I heard that you often leave your siblings all alone till evening,I'm sure they would have been unhappy not having enough time to spend together with you" old first said

"Old second you seem to have been quite l, come on help me out here"

"Tang Yan I think you should agree, at least it'll make her happy to be in a family like home given her tragic past also I heard one of the officers in charge of this site saying that it'll be close down for two weeks till the needed construction materials arrive". Tang Yan looked in the direction of madam Shu who is forty years old but still seemed like she's in her twenties with the way she does her things accompanied with her charm and elegance. "Hope we would be given an extra pay" Tang Yan asked sighing with his face looking into the vast sky.

" Sure, an extra four hundred yen with the last month earnings. so let's just assume that it's an extra one hundred yen" madam Shu voice came as she approached them. Apparently she has been listening to their conversation from the beginning. It surprised Tang Yan that she heard them because he thought about the noise from the machines and the other people's discussion would be able to make their conversation unheard of  "also Tang Yan you don't need to force yourself about the decision of me finding a place to stay, I don't want to be a burden for you and your siblings" she added. The old men looked at him in sync wanting to know his approach towards the situation. "Its okay, I was just thinking of which room you should stay. It would be best if you move in tomorrow" Tang Yan smiled glancing at the shape of madam Shu.

"Pah"

A big hand slapped Tang Yan very hard at the back of his head. The hand belonged to old first who seemed to have noticed his gaze and felt it was unbearable for him.

"Common old first what did I do wrong?" Tang Yan felt offended, this wasn't exactly because he was slapped but because of the restraints of this world's moral. Unlike the his previous lecherous life where he could gaze and peek at women of any sect boldly and not feel ashamed.

Hours passed and now it was already evening the time for everyone to leave for their homes . The lackey who had been working  his spirit and energy out knelt in front of Tang Yan with a pale face and his body trembling "can I leave now, my parents must be worried about me please"

"What's your name" Tang Yan asked with a stern look.

"Fu Chen"

"You have a nice name but a shitty character. Make sure to stay away from Yan fan tomorrow so as not to get caught up in what is going to happen also get me the list if the student of the upper class gang and also of the violent students well detailed tomorrow noon". Fu Chen nodded his head earnestly without any hostility in his eye but fear and respect.

Tang Yan escorted miss su to her home and the headed back home . In getting home he saw his younger brother face bruised along with a group of thugs and hoodlums, among the was brother ma the one he trashed few hours ago. A strange emotion roared with him like an uncontrollable fire rushing out from his stomach to his lungs. He ran towards his siblings inspecting their body except for younger brother who  had bruises on his face and arms while protecting his sister no serious injury was seen. He stood up adjusting his emotion and looked deeply into the eyes of all the thugs present "who did this" his voice sounded .

"Is this the person who messed with you and your brothers Ma Zhou " a well dressed man asked brother ma not minding Tang Yan.

"Yes , it's this bastard who doesn't know to respect Buddha". Tang Yan's expression looked more calm and emotionless as he saw the behavior if the people in front of him, supposing it was in the past , he wouldn't mind massacring all of them without batting an eye but now's different from the past and the restraints on him in this era was too much "go inside, I'll treat your bruises after I'm done with them "he said with his siblings still calm and emotionless. The two siblings obediently left leaving Tang Yan and the thugs alone.

"Tell me how do you want to be punished for disrespecting my brothers" the well dressed man asked with a cruel smile. Tang Yan instead of answering attacked without warning. Every kick and punch he threw was heavy and savage targeting only there necks and ribs as he advanced. The man seemed shocked and felt unreal because each movement of Tang Yan was swift and basic.

"I'll ask you again who bruised my brother"he asked still attacking. Out of thirty of the men brought by the man, more than half have been put to the ground growling in pain.

"Stop, it was me."the man said unbuttoning his shirt sleeve making a fighting posture" if you stop I can consider allowing you to join my gang.

"..."

Tang Yan dashed forward with a straight Puch to the abdomen of the man.

"Brother Kong be careful" ma Zhou shouted.
