Chapter 63: Manaflow Restoration Elixir
By the time Max returned to the main city, it was almost morning, so he decided to have a morning run to clear his head.
Because of his enhanced physique, he could run faster and longer than mundane people, but he could still get tired after pushing his limits.
That limit was apparently twenty kilometres without stopping, as by the time he made it back to the Moonshine Inn, sweat was rolling down his body like a river coming down from the mountains.
As he entered the Inn, he found Melissa serving breakfast to a couple of elderly customers. Her smile seemed to brighten up everyone’s day, as every customer thanked her for her services with a smile on their faces.
She quickly noticed him and called him over with a strange glint in her eyes. His lips twitched, remembering what she had planned, but he couldn’t bring himself to get over it.
[Come on, you were thinking the same thing! Also, very poor narration!]
Once again, Max ignored his companion and went towards Melissa and said before she could start, "I’m tired, Aunt, so I’ll just go and have some rest."
Melissa’s face brightened up as she nodded in understanding and said, "Good! You deserve it, so take this and rest well."
She gave him a plate of breakfast and pushed him towards the stairs. He knew she was having some misunderstanding, but he didn’t have the energy to correct it.
On the way, he also met John, who just gave an approving nod along with a big thumbs up. He seemed really proud of him...
Max could only shake his head and return to his room to get refreshed. After everything was done, including breakfast, he sat on his bed with a contemplative look on his face.
