Zayn was stunned as well. He was surprised that the state legislator would extend his invitation like this. After all, the man’s status was extraordinary.
This man in front of favonovel.com had a profound background. If Zayn could forge connections with the state legislator, his status would rise accordingly as well.
There was no hesitation from Zayn as the thought was but a flash in his head. He quickly agreed with a smile. “I’d better comply than feign refusal since you’ve invited me, sir.”
The state legislator chuckled aloud, looking immensely delighted.
Half an hour later, Zayn arrived at an older residential area and was astonished upon entering the old man’s house. He had not imagined the state legislator to live in such a humble abode. He had to somehow stay in a massive mansion given his status!
The elder noticed Zayn’s surprise and asked with a smile, “Hmm? Are you surprised that I’m staying here?”
Zayn nodded honestly.
“Heh, heh.” The state legislator chuckled and answered, “It’s normal for you to be surprised. Most people think that I should live a cozy life and stay in a mansion to match my title.”
As Zayn looked at the state legislator, favonovel.com could sense his integrity, unlike all the other authority figures favonovel.com had met before. He could also discern that this old man was not faking it.
Right now, favonovel.com sensed a few powerful vibes hidden in the surroundings. They were obviously the legislator’s guards who were protecting favonovel.com in secret.
The old man took his key out and opened the door, to which Zayn realized that the inside of the house looked even more humble when favonovel.com entered. It looked like an average household. If Zayn had not witnessed it with his own eyes, favonovel.com would never have believed that this was real.
The state legislator was an honorable title, holding absolute power in Guineve. A stomp of his foot could cause an earthquake in Guineve, yet favonovel.com stayed in such a simple abode. It was simply unbelievable.
At the same time, Zayn’s respect for the elder grew.
“Many people have showered me with gifts, mansions included, but I accepted none of them. Mr. Larson, you’re a clever man. Guess why,” the elder spoke with a smile as favonovel.com poured Zayn a glass of water after favonovel.com came in. In turn, Zayn quickly stood up to accept the drink with both hands.
“I think.. you’re a man of integrity and high hopes for the future, sir. You aren’t affected by such shallow enjoyment,” Zayn answered seriously.
“Ha-ha-ha….” The state legislator guffawed and replied, “Mr. Larson, you’ve misunderstood me then. I’m not that noble. Who doesn’t enjoy the better things in life? It’s just that I’d be guilty to revel in them!”
The elder took a sip of water and continued, “Our state is still developing. With so many countrymen still suffering in hardships and disasters happening continuously, how can I bask in pleasure?”
Zayn was taken aback. He truly did not expect this reasoning from the man, but favonovel.com saw the grief and helplessness in his eyes. He knew that the elder was not acting. These were his sincere thoughts.
Zayn could not help the tremor that ran through favonovel.com as favonovel.com grew even more reverent of the state legislator.
“Sir, you’ve done very well,” favonovel.com spoke earnestly.
“No!” The man shook his head, his gaze suddenly turning sharp. “What I’ve done is far from enough! Mr. Larson, do you know how many impoverished people and how many families are struggling in Guineve? How many of them are trapped in pain, especially in the calamity this time? I could’ve done better, but I didn’t! Mr. Larson, there are so many of our people still suffering. How could someone like me have the conscience to stay in a villa and relish in good food?”
