Capítulo 5: CHAPTER 5: LOYAL CUSTOMER
The man of course didn't believe her as to him this felt like this lady was just trying her best to make a sale. He found a rock to sit on as he wanted to enjoy probably his last meal comfortably.
Alayna nervously watched as the man take a bite of the first steamed bun. She had been eating them for seven days and she was feeling the improvements in her system, she believed that as long as she keeps on eating for much longer, her sickness will completely vanish and get completely healed.
And she hoped that everyone will eat these foods will also be like her and gain something. After all, a silver coin was a lot for just five buns.
The man took his first bite and felt the whole world exploding. He didn't believe it at first so he kept on taking bites and soon the first bun was finished.
He kept on eating one bun after another and the next thing he knew the buns were all gone. He looked at the empty paper bag and looked at the lady who was looking at him with a smile.
"Did you find how special my food is?" Alayna asked happily enjoying the shocked facial expression of the man who was once a skeptic about her food.
The man felt very apologetic when he recalled how he had looked down on this food. He had thought that he found a scammer but who knew that he found a treasure and he is glad that before he went on his journey, he got to pass by this place.
The man stood up and bowed lightly, "I am very sorry for doubting you. Your food is very special and the money is worth it. Thank you for letting me enjoy this food. From now on, I am your loyal customer and I will come here when I have money."
Hearing the sincerity of the man, Alayna was very excited. She could tell that the man has issues but who didn't have?
"I will be looking forward to seeing you more in the future then," she smiled at the man.
James couldn't wait to return home, so he didn't accompany the shop lady for long and left in a hurry.
Alayna watched the man leave and she was happy. The man's problem seemed to have been solved and she wondered what they were.
She began to wonder if she can put a wall where the customers can write their miraculous moments and what they like about the food so that others may get inspired by it too.
She would look at that in the future as she has some rewards to wait for since she finished the first mission before time was up.
James rushed back to the village and locked himself in the house after that. To think that when he left the house, he wasn't planning on returning back. As a hunter, he knew that his life was always in danger and it wasn't that easy to return from every hunt.
But he was very passionate about it. In the beginning, he had wanted to go to one of the cultivation schools and become a cultivator but his talent was very mediocre so he wasn't able to cut.
In the cultivation world, there are four realms namely mortal martial, true martial, extreme martial, and nirvana tribulation. The mortal martial realm has six stages namely martial apprentice, martial disciple, martial master, martial king, martial emperor, and lastly martial supreme.
Each stage has got nine sub-stages and it is not easy to pass those. For James, he had been stuck on the third stage of the martial apprentice stage and it was very embarrassing.
He was a man in his thirties already and some kids in these sects were already martial masters and kings. It wasn't easy for anyone without resources to cultivate and improve.
James ended up being a hunter as he was a bit stronger than others. He had escaped a lot of dangers for a very long time but he finally got unlucky when he was attacked by a tiger and his meridians were affected.
It had taken him a lot of silver to get medicine and yet after months, there was no change. He was getting lame and his hands couldn't hold any weapons, if he didn't hunt, there was no food on the table and he was starting to feel useless.
That wasn't the only thing that happened in his life, his wife he had been married to for years divorced him and left him because of his disability. He felt very betrayed and his wife leaving him was the last straw.
With only one silver on him, he left for the Dark Forest to get himself in trouble, find those ferocious beasts and get himself killed. He just wanted to die and leave this world but who knew that he will come across a shop in such a place?
Shocked by what he was seeing and curious about the reason why it was there, James found himself moving towards the shop and he rejoiced for making that wise decision.
After eating the buns and drinking the water, he felt spiritual energy flowing in his body and it felt very warm. The pain that he was feeling from the internal injuries lessened. He could tell that everything was caused by the food that he had eaten and this also proved that the food was very precious.
If he continues to eat this food every day, won't his injuries all get healed? Won't he be able to continue being a hunter and even make a breakthrough and find a better job?
James completely pushed aside all suicidal thoughts at this moment. It was better for him to earn money and buy more food. It would even be better if he brings some of those Masters to this shop so that he can earn some commission.
As a man, one should hustle, and James made some of his money by introducing some interesting things to the Masters in Ciliren city, the nearby city from his village.
At the moment he couldn't possibly go and hunt but he can go and bring the rich to the shop and earn some money and get completely healed.
As for the wife that abandoned him, he was going to prove to her that the decision that she made was the worst one she ever did. He was going to find someone who loves him and stick by his side through thick and thin.
After coming to a decision, James packed a few essentials that he needed and left the village for the city. He was going to make some money and keep his promise of being a loyal customer.
