Chapter 134: Giving back.
A woman with obvious injuries on her body emerged from the crowd. "Please, sir, my husband needs healing that normal potions can’t provide. Our household has been affected by the growing attacks of demons, please..."
Noah’s mind raced through the implications as more people gathered around his shop entrance. His reputation had apparently grown during his absence, creating a customer base he hadn’t expected.
Lola watched the human crowd with fascination. Her expression suggested amusement at the cultural differences in shopping enthusiasm.
"I do have healing bread and iced tea available," Noah announced, his voice carrying over the growing crowd.
Noah walked back into his shop and emerged with a loaf of bread.
The woman’s face brightened in happiness; she knew that the bread was by no means cheap. "Thank you, thank you so much! We will never forget this favour of yours!"
Noah nodded.
"Do you have anything you can give me for this bread?" He asked, although he wasn’t sure if she did.
The woman’s hands stopped moving towards the bread. She had thought it was an act of kindness from his side, but after asking for golden coins, she realised it wasn’t.
Her shoulders drooped visibly. "I-I don’t have any golden coins, sir."
Noah shook his head at her response. "I never asked for golden coins, I’m asking for anything. Anything you can give, even if it’s a pebble on the street."
