In a distance, outside of the capital city of the mythic empire.
'swoosh'
There is a middle-aged man running out of the forest in a hurry.
"Haah... I am very tired and weak. Fortunately, I escaped that attack at the last moment. Cough..."
His clothes can be seen bloody and torn due to the attack of a demon beast. A middle-aged man named Peter tried to control his breathing and paced carefully because of his injuries. Sweet blood at the edge of the mouth and haggard or tired face.
His purpose in traveling or going into the forest was because someone told him that there was a spiritual plant that could heal a person's vitality. He dared to go there to find the spiritual plant even though its effect is low compared to a vitality pill to help his only daughter who was very weak due to qi deviation.
Even though he knew in himself that he was going to a very dangerous place and has only a little bit of hope. He still did not give up just to heal or help his only family.
And as he approached the Mythic city (Capital city). He hurried in and headed down the road to their home. But because he was weak and could not bear the burden of his heavy wound, he passed by an alley to rest a little bit but he saw that there was a shop. He was shocked and confused at first but he ignored it and hurried inside to ask for help.
...
"500 sil..ve..r coins! ... 1 gold coin! What kind of nonsense is this. A tea and plain noodle soup are so expensive ?! Why can't you just steal?"
The cultivator was so shocked and angry. This kind of food like noodle soup or tea you can only buy for a small amount of price or a few copper coins outside.
"What do you think of the foods you sell, spiritual pills?! If all your products are so expensive I will just buy them from others. Hmmph ... I will report you to the guards and I will destroy them all including your store."
Rafael is also helpless about this but if the cultivator only finds out that his products are even more effective than the cultivation pills sold in pill stores he will realize that the prices of these products are reasonable.
"Do you dare to bet? If my products or foods here are more effective than the pills outside at the range of these prices. You will help me to advertise or spread the word about my store to your friends and you will pay honestly. But if not then, you don't need to pay and you are welcome to do or destroy anything here. So what is your decision?" Said Rafael confidently with a slight smile on his face.
The cultivator did not expect that Rafael will not immediately ask for forgiveness but rather he challenge him to bet.
"Huh..."
"Ahem... if you said are true then I will pay and help you or your store. But if it is a lie then don't blame me for being not polite." Said the cultivator after he was stunned.
"Okay. Sure. So what is your order first?" Said Rafael with a nod and confident smile.
