Wilbur hurriedly extended his hand and greeted, "Nice to meet you, Mister Campbell."
That person was the head of the Kardon Province, Orin Campbell.
He was in his fifties, and still full of vigor despite his age. His position indicated a bright future ahead.
Orin was very polite and quickly shook Wilbur's hand. "Mister Grayson couldn't stop praising you, which made me rather curious. So, I took the liberty of having him contact you. I hope you don't mind that."
He was extremely humble as a high-ranking figure in the province.
He could easily order people around wherever he went because of his position and had squads of special agents to protect him. People welcomed him wherever he went.
His humble demeanor surprised Wilbur.
'When did I become so powerful that someone like Orin Campbell treats me with such politeness and humility?' Wilbur wondered.
He was unaware, but Benjamin told Orin everything that happened. He praised Wilbur like he was a demigod.
Orin would dismiss it if it were anyone else. However, Benjamin was one of the founding fathers of Dasha. He was a legend whom everyone would greet respectfully.
Benjamin's physical recovery was also an undeniable fact.
His recommendation and his astonishing recovery made Orin develop a sense of respect for Wilbur.
He had a high-rank position, but advancing further was a difficult task.
The situation would be different with a recommendation from Benjamin.
Benjamin did not have the final word, but even the capital would have to consider his opinions carefully.
That was why Orin was humble and brought his son along.
Orin shook hands with Wilbur. He smiled and said, "Benjamin spoke highly of you, so I felt I had to meet you in person. You're indeed a young and handsome man."
Wilbur had a sudden realization.
However, he wondered if Orin overestimated him.
Faron suddenly switched up. He went from looking shy to taking out a pack of cigarettes. He passed a cigarette to Wilbur and grinned. He asked, "Bro, want one?"
Wilbur was stunned.
Faron was the most important man of his generation in Kardon Province. It was without question that he was born with a silver spoon.
His father was polite because of Benjamin, but for Faron to be so friendly was rather out of character for an elite member of society.
Wilbur silently accepted the cigarette and glanced at Benjamin.
Benjamin chuckled and said, "Go ahead and smoke without worries. I'd want one too if that girl wasn't watching me so closely."
