She took the silver car and drove towards the supermarket. The roads were all lit as there were street lamps, and the number of people at the supermarket wasn’t much but it was still okay.
When she arrived, it was almost ti to close the shop so she simply called Elena to her office since it wasn’t busy.
Alayna’s purpose was to just tell Elena about her sudden promotion and that she will be in charge of all the other employees. The additional contract was going to be signed later.
She also gave her the code she has been using since the employees won’t be using their fingerprints to unlock and lock the shop.
"I may be too busy to co so you deal with it and make sure that everything is okay. And starting from next month which is just a few days away from now, the rotating shifts will start and you will take turns. The first round is from eight to two and the other from two to eight.
I will make the rooster and give it to you before the new month starts, so tell the others to prepare. And also ......…"
Alayna spent a great deal of ti with Elena as she told her everything that was required of her and the employees.
Elena accepted this easily which made Alayna feel relieved. After sorting out this issue, it was ti to close.
Alayna took so pending files with her back ho and let Elena close the shop.
After that, she drove back ho and the kids were nowhere to be found. She found them in their rooms and rita was busy narrating her story while Neal was ditating.
Without disturbing the two, she went into her own study and began to deal with the shop’s files. She was done after an hour and returned to her own room.
After taking a shower, she sat cross-legged on the bed and popped in the pill she received, and prayed for a miracle. As soone who rarely cultivates and just concentrates on business, she was relying heavily on the system to boost her cultivation level.
After the last boost, she was at the martial disciple level 5 and she didn’t know what will happen this ti but she hoped for the best.

Thomas has always been an ordinary adventurer, as his talent wasn’t enough or above the norm to get noticed in his sect, he didn’t bother to stay there and beco a re servant to toil for those with talent.
There was so much in the world and he wasn’t willing to live the rest of his life as a re servant fawning over others.
So, although his cultivation wasn’t high and notice-worthy, he still decided to beco an adventurer and explore the world as he didn’t have a wife or kids.
As for his parents, they wanted the best for him as long as he doesn’t get hurt or killed. So, after lying to them, he left his ho, his kingdom, his continent, and everything for one reason.
He had heard so much about this certain valley with a lot of beasts and he wanted to try his luck. Fighting and killing beasts wasn’t only for getting their beast cores, at, bones, blood, or anything else.
As much as these could give him money, he also wanted to temper himself and increase his low aptitude cultivation.
He was willing to risk himself to be better, so he left ho and has been away for three years. In these three years, he nearly died several tis. The benefits he received in this period were also plenty.
When he decided to finally return to his ho, he heard sothing that made him very interested. This is how Thomas who was about to return ho found himself in Draak when the shop just opened.
Thomas was there when the lady boss introduced the stokvel program and, to be honest, he was quite pleased with this that he couldn’t wait to go and spread this to his hotown.
Thomas witnessed a lot of things and heard so many testimonies he didn’t want to wait anymore but depart for his ho.
Since he couldn’t afford to buy the lady boss’s goods, he simply stored so for his family back ho so that they may have a taste of the good things that he ca across in his travels.
It took him over a month to reach his ho as he flew most of the journey and used a teleportation circle to travel from Enethor continent to his.
When he returned ho, he was happy to see his beloved ones and he shared with them all the good things that he has as he couldn’t be who he is today if it wasn’t for them.
Thomas and his family were considered to be rich in his village. And with him who was a cultivator although his cultivation was martial apprentice level 7 after cultivating for nearly two decades, he was taken seriously by everyone as cultivators were rare to find in villages.
Thomas didn’t mind using the stokvel program idea as if it was his as all he wanted was to help his community and make them better. His mother was like the mouthpiece of the village so, with her help, everything started rolling perfectly.
Thomas started with his village first as he wouldn’t dare try with others, there were so many risks involved and he didn’t want to be in the hot soup just in case sothing like that happens.
So, when this worked in his village, the villagers gradually spread the news to others, and soon, the groups between villages were ford and this made the relationship between villages much easier than before.
The villagers didn’t mind praising Thomas for bringing such a great idea and this news practically went viral and spread to the nearby towns and then a big city nearby.
The mayor heard of this and as a man of authority and a cultivator too, he was quite amazed by Thomas and decided to take a look at him.
Thomas didn’t know why the mayor wanted to see him but he still packed his things and went to see the man.
Blessings co in different ways; this is what Thomas learnt when he saw the mayor. He wasn’t shaless to accept that the idea belonged to him as it never was. So, he truthfully talked about the lady boss who opened a mysterious shop in the Dark Forest.
The mayor could see the admiration and worship in Thomas’s eyes that he beca curious about who this lady boss was really, after all, there weren’t many females who were so business-oriented and that powerful.
It wasn’t that he looked down on won, it’s just that this was the first ti he heard of sothing like this.
Seeing how honest Thomas was, the mayor decided to use this good seed and keep him close. It didn’t matter if his cultivation was low, he can still be nurtured in combat or left to manage a shop.
Thomas ended up going the business route and began to apply everything that he learnt during the ti he was away.
Thomas was quite gifted in this area so the results he produced were visible, he began to get popular in a good way and ended up attracting the attention of the mayor’s third daughter.
This lady was special in her own way. She was once married but divorced after her husband cheated on her with a girl from a brothel. She ruthlessly beat the ex-husband and his mistress before packing her bags and her children back ho.
This lady was very powerful, she was a martial master level 2 and there weren’t a lot of n who wanted to be with such a strong woman.
So, to think that Thomas got into this lady’s radar and she wasn’t afraid of letting the whole world know, made him feel stressed out big ti.
To be honest, there wasn’t anything bad about her, it’s just that he didn’t feel as if he was worthy of her.
The lady was proactive and her attitude was so serious that the mayor had to sit down with him to talk about life.
Thomas didn’t have a wife and it wasn’t a big deal to marry a lady but she was way above him. His mind changed when he saw how he treated his family with respect.
She wasn’t prideful and didn’t misuse her authority to look down on his parents. He began to warm up to her and after a while, he accepted her feelings.
The mayor was quite relieved to hear this as he was afraid that his daughter will go crazy if Thomas rejected her. In order to thank this son-in-law and to show the world that he accepted Thomas, he threw a grand wedding for the two of them and it was quite a spectacle.
Thomas wasn’t the only person that got affected by what Alayna introduced and shared with the world, there were so many and one day these people were going to co out to light.
