Chapter 540
A video started playing on the big screen installed above the airport. In it, a Federian was welcoming an Everreachian.
Leonard pointed at the screen and asked, "Do you see that Federian? He's the mayor of New Vork, and he's a great man!
"Apparently, the Everreachian was originally a child from a poor Zargonian family. He made some contributions to New Vork, which is why the mayor is welcoming him now. He also received a green card and is now a famous figure in the city."
A hopeful look appeared on Leonard's face as he spoke. It was as if a green card was his life's goal. Jack couldn't be bothered to entertain him any longer.
"A youngster like you should work hard for the green card! There will come a day where the mayor of New Vork will also welcome you at city hall. It would be a great honor for you!" Leonard said encouragingly.
To the side, Benji and Ruth had heard the exchange between Jack and Leonard.
Benji pursed his lips and countered, "What's the point of telling him all this, old man? Do you think it's that simple to get a green card or to be welcomed by the mayor of New Vork? The mayor is a busy man. He wouldn't have the time to entertain you."
Leonard nodded after considering Benji's words.
A pair of bright headlights suddenly shone on them as a trendy sports car approached and stopped before Ruth and Benji.
The bald man in the car said with a grin, "Ruth, you're here too? Hurry and get into the car with Benji. Your aunt has been dying to see the both of you."
Next, a group of luxury cars drove over. Claude had finally arrived with his entourage to pick up Jack. At the front of the group was a black Rolls-Royce that was surrounded by a myriad of black sports cars, making for an impressive sight. Anyone who laid their eyes on the entourage would undoubtedly be filled with awe.
The appearance of the group of cars attracted the attention of everyone in the vicinity. They looked on with curious gazes, wondering who the group of cars were here to welcome. A string of bodyguards exited as the car doors were thrown open. They hurried over to the Rolls-Royce to open the door for the people who were seated inside.
Claude alighted from the car, accompanied by a stylish Federian who was on the chubbier side. After he was informed of Jack's identity, he quickly held his hand out to him.
His tone was dripping with respect as he said, "Welcome to New Vork. Just your presence here has elevated the status of this city. I've prepared a special dinner for you in my home tonight. I hope we can spend a pleasant evening together."
"This is the honorable Jack Holland," Claude introduced Jack to the man. "This is the mayor of New Vork, Francisco Estonia. He came specifically to welcome you, and he hopes to have dinner with you. "
Jack smiled at Francisco. "Hello, it's my honor to make your acquaintance."
Francisco responded with a boisterous chortle. "You're too polite, Mr. Holland. Being able to meet you is my honor."
Claude and Jack entered the Rolls-Royce and sat on the luxurious seats. Under the supervision of the bodyguards and police cars, they were chauffeured to Francisco's official residence.
Meanwhile, Leonard watched them leave with his lit cigarette still hanging between his lips. The appearance of the mayor of New Vork floated to the forefront of his thoughts. He was stunned speechless when he lifted his head to double check the appearance of the mayor on the big screen.
