He headed out of the small yard in front of the inn entrance. One of the neighborhood grandmas looked toward Cale and the old inn with curiosity.

�Did you buy this inn?�

�Yes, grandmother.�

The old woman looked at the handsome red-haired young man with satisfaction and worry.

�This is a good location, but it is very old. Oh, and it doesn�t look like you have heard the story about this place. The owner used to run a gambling ring until he fled with his money.�

�I heard about it.�

The young man hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak with a vigorous expression.

�But shouldn�t it work out if I work hard? I have many people working with me. All of us are planning to work hard as if we are living a new life, so please take good care of us.�

�Aigoo, you are such a good talker.�

The young man�s positive demeanor made the old woman start to smile and nod her head.

�Of course. Us new neighbors should look after each other. My husband runs the bakery in the next alley. Come to our shop if you need bread.�

�Yes ma�am, thank you very much.�

The old woman received the, �thank you,� from the young man holding two kittens as she headed toward the alley with her bakery.

�A nice young man moved in.�

It was good news for the old woman.

Cale finally lifted his head up once the old woman was no longer visible.

The door slightly opened at that moment and someone started to speak.

�Our Hope and Adventure Loving Inn�s goal is to provide warm meals and a relaxing room at a cheap cost for all travelers. Got it?�

�We understand!�

�Yes sir!�

Someone asked and others energetically responded back.

�And our Hope and Adventure Loving Inn also seeks to backstab the bad guys, while our adventures will consist of taking their stuff. Got it?�

��We will remember it deep in our bones!�

�Yes sir, yes sir! No matter what you say, yes sir!� JrNovels.com
