Chapter 240 Mind Your Own Business

“It’s our house! Our house is on fire!” After realizing where the smoke was coming from, Arnold immediately jumped out of the vehicle and made a dash for it.

“Dad!” called out Alice before chasing after her father.

It only took a few minutes before Arnold reached their house, which was already completely engulfed in flames.

The building was so badly damaged by the fire then that it was almost unrecognizable.

“Whoever it is that set my house on fire, you better show yourself this instant! Come face me, you coward!” roared Arnold in front of the burning house.

Having lived in that building for decades, Arnold was filled with rage when he saw it in that state.

With a brick in hand, Arnold had completely lost it and was ready to take on the person responsible.

When the other villagers saw how rage-induced the man was, they hurriedly grabbed him to prevent him from hurting himself. “What are you doing, Arnold? Are you trying to throw your life away? Please just calm down.”

“Without that house, what else do I have to live for? I would rather just die! Just let me go!” cried Arnold while he struggled to break free.

“Don’t be stupid, Arnold! There’s nothing you can do about it now. Or have you forgotten how you ended up hospitalized last time?” questioned one of the villagers holding Arnold before another chimed in, “He’s got a point, you know? Even if you don’t care about yourself, you have to think about your family. How would Alice feel if she loses you?”

After witnessing how Arnold and his wife got beat up and sent to the hospital last time, the villagers decided that they could not sit by and let the man be controlled by his emotions.

They could not help but let out a long sigh when they realized that Arnold had not learned his lessons.
