Naga didn"t go directly to their manor. He went to the city"s main district for a walk. This is his first time visiting the place.Even at this time at night, the place is still lively. Many stores, restaurants and botiques are still open. There were performers in the streets too. Some are busking while others are performing with simple magic tricks for children.
Naga was about to enter a bakeshop when he heard a commotion.
"Get out and don"t bother us!" A huge mascular man pushed an old lady and a young boy.
"Ww.. wait mister." The boy tried to approach the man but he was kicked and fell to the ground.
"Argh." The old woman panicked and a.s.sisted the boy.
"Le... let"s go." The old woman crid and said.
"Do not go here again or else!" The huge man said. He turned around and enter the building.
Many people looked at them with different emotions. No city guards interrupted too. It seems like they are already used to it.
Naga looked at the two of them for a while before entering the bakeshop. Inside the shop, he looked at the stand and menu and then he decided to order two slices of chocolate cake and two sweet breads. He asked for water too.
No other customers are inside aside from him. He went to a table with a window view and then started eating his cake.
The main door of the shop opened and two people entered. An old lady and a boy, same people that Naga saw earlier.
The old lady went to the stand and pointed a bread.
"Excuse me. How much is this bread?" her voice is low and weak.
"It"s for 5 copper coins." The counter staff said. He was the only employee at this time too.
The old lady was not able to respond right away.
"Is there a bread for 2 copper coins? We only have 2 right now." The old lady tried to smile and asked in a low voice. She was ashamed since they don"t enough money.
"There"s None." The counter staff felt quite sad.
"I see. Thank you." The old lady smiled but you can see sadness in her eyes.
She turned around and was about to leave with the young boy when the counter staff called her.
"Ma"am, please wait. Here." The staff gave her two sweet breads.
"Stay for a while and have a seat. I"ll get you a hot coffee and a cold water for the kid." He smiled.
"We don"t have..." The old lady was interrupted by the staff.
"On the house. Wait for me." He smiled.
The old lady can"t thank him enough. They went to a table near the counter. She looked at the boy and smiled warmly.
Naga looked at them and smiled. "Old Samuel is right. There are kind people here."
Naga is eating the second slice when suddenly someone opened the door with a strong push. "Bang!"
Two men entered the bakeshop. A tall man who"s smoking a cigarette and the huge man from before.
"Look here. You told us that you don"t have any money." The huge man looked at the old lady.
The tall man approached them and put his hand on the boy"s shoulder. "You lied, huh?"
"No, sir. We don"t. Please..." The old lady stood up and held the man"s arm.
"Don"t touch me!" The tall man pushed the old loday.
"Argh." She fell to the ground.
"Grand ma!" The wanted to help but he was pushed down by the man.
The tall man smiled at the kid. "Hey, boy. Just..."
Before he could finish it something hit his head. "Clash!"
The employee threw a drinking gla.s.s at him and it broke on the tall man"s head.
"You bast..." The tall man was not able to finish what he was saying again since the employee kicked him hard and hit the nearby table. "Smash!"
The staff wanted to attack again but the huge man grabbed his hand and lifted him. He was thrown on a table near Naga.
"You can do it." Naga smiled and tapped the young man.
He was flabbergasted. He felt the increase in his strength. He doesn"t have time to ask now so he grabbed a chair and threw it to the huge man.
The man tried to block the chair using his right arm however, he was surprised since the young man threw a strong punch at him. "Argh."
He was flabbergasted. It was a strong punch and he was hurt. Before he could stand up, the staff kicked him again. It was a good kick in the face. The man blackout after.
The old lady and the boy shouted for help. "Help!" "City Guards Help!"
The staff was tired. He looked at Naga. "Thank you."
"You"re welcome." Naga smiled. He used his Arcane Power Blessing to the staff. It improved and can give 30% increase in power now.
Before the tall man could stand up, guards arrived.
"Hey You! What happened?"
"Don"t move!"
Five guards arrived and entered the shop. They went to the old lady and also asked questions to the staff. Naga was asked too.
"Sigh. I"m about to get fired again." The staff chuckled.
"What"s your name?" Naga asked.
"Alfred. What"s your name?" Alfred asked.
"Naga. Nice to meet you." Naga smiled.
"You are young but you are already a mage. I"m quite envy. You will not have a hard time lookong for a job." Alfred smiled at him.
"For employment, I can help you. Are you from around here?" Naga asked.
"No. I live in the commoners town actually." He was surprised.
"Good. Then, I"ll look for you later." Naga stood up and left.
He went to the guards and asked if he can leave now, the guards gave him permission.
"Weird." Alfred is looking at Naga. He went to the old lady and young boy after. He wanted to make sure that they are okay.
