Chapter 485: Chapter 479 Rare Visitor Part 2

But upon further reflection, the invites seemed pretty average since people of the caliber of Nicolas Tesla were scarce. Even though we had a lot of famous scientists, their achievements were impressive in their time but seemed rather average in the modern era. Even if they were invited, the effect they could bring about might not be that significant.

Unless there were experts of the same caliber, but it seemed like there weren’t many who could be compared to Nicolas. However, Finn Lewis felt he had managed to gather all the globally famous scientists from that era! For instance, bringing together people like Lady Curie, Nicolas Tesla, Albert Ainsworth, Nobel Williams, etc., who weren’t from the same time period, what did that mean?

Even if these great scientists weren’t as extraordinary as Nicolas Tesla, wouldn’t they be decent after systematic learning?

Having handled the messages from Henry, Finn was ready to return to Celeston City. He had taken care of all matters requiring his attention here. Everything else could be handled without him. Finn exchanged for a T2500 smart robot to manage things here and named it Donald Jayden.

However, as Finn was preparing to return to Celeston City, he encountered an unexpected visitor at his grandfather’s place.

The moment he saw the visitor, Finn recognized his uniqueness. It wasn’t that Finn knew him but rather that the visitor’s attire was unlike anything seen in this small town, and even in Hello City, such individuals were rare.

Yet, here was an almost completely white-haired man dressed in formal garb. Despite his frail physique, his eyes were bright. He sat in a wheelchair pushed by a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw these two, Finn immediately had a feeling they were looking for him.

“Good day, Mr. Lewis,” the elderly man in the wheelchair greeted, when he was still six or seven meters away. Though speaking in the Flame Nation language, Finn instantly realized that the man was not a native.

“And you are?” Finn genuinely had no idea who he was.

“My name is Hanson Lee,” the elderly man replied with a smile.

Hanson Lee?! Finn repeated the name in his mind. It sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember who it was. After pondering for a bit, he spoke apologetically, “I’m sorry, sir, but I genuinely don’t know who you are, even though your name sounds familiar. Please forgive me. Could you tell me who you are?”

As soon as Finn finished speaking, he noticed a flash of anger flicker across the face of the middle-aged man behind the elderly visitor. He glared at Finn, who was bewildered. Was he upset that Finn didn’t know who the old man was? How was he supposed to know?

“No worries, it’s normal that you don’t know me. After all, I am not yet widely known. I am the chairman of Planetary Group,” Hanson Lee replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Finn suddenly understood. No wonder the name sounded familiar. It belonged to the Chairman of Planetary Group. Of course, Finn knew about the Planetary Group and had definitely heard of Chairman Hanson Lee. However, hearing the name unexpectedly like this, Finn blanked out temporarily. Now that Mr. Lee introduced himself, everything was clear.

“So, it’s Chairman Hanson Lee. It’s a bit surprising to run into you in this small town in the Flame Nation,” Finn said in astonishment. As he spoke, he motioned with his hand, “My grandfather’s yard is right this way. Please.”

“Thank you.” Hanson Lee expressed his gratitude, then the middle-aged man pushed him toward the direction indicated by Finn. Though the path was paved, the surrounding houses were mostly mud-brick houses. Even though they were coated with new plaster and seemed fresh, some were even new brick houses, but the inhabitants here were certainly not well-off.

Finn was still carrying a regular plastic bucket. From a glance, it was clear the bucket was used for dirty water. In truth, it was precisely for that. Finn had just come out to dump the dirty water. Even though this place was in town, it was not much different from the countryside. The houses here were not connected to sewage, and all household wastewater had to be dumped in a plastic bucket before being disposed of in the outer sewer.

This chore was usually done by Finn’s grandfather. Since he had returned and his grandfather didn’t want to change his present lifestyle, Finn didn’t mind doing this work. Actually, he quite enjoyed the days living with his grandfather. However, such days were bound to be scarce.

Graceful Lee looked curiously at Finn’s retreating figure and his plastic bucket. Looking at Finn now, you might mistake him for an ordinary university student visiting his grandfather during his vacation. You wouldn’t link him with a world-renowned billionaire. A world-renowned billionaire carrying a bucket of dirty water, can you believe it? And wearing a pair of cheap plastic slippers costing no more than 10 yuan?

The world’s richest man? If it weren’t for their powerful intelligence, it would be impossible to connect him with a world-renowned billionaire. This was just too extreme. A person famous for extravagant expenses around the world living a simple life? Wearing such slippers and discarding domestic wastewater? What kind of situation was this?

This was utterly absurd! These were two situations that should never exist in the same person. Moreover, this was where Finn’s grandfather lived. But wasn’t this place rather… just too much? Was Finn reluctant to spend money on his grandfather? Surely not. If Finn was so stingy, he wouldn’t be living here to accompany the old man.

When they entered the yard, Finn placed the bucket of dirty water to one side and then invited Graceful Lee and Hanson Lee into the house. It was already winter and the winters in the north were quite cold. Although it wasn’t the coldest time of the year, inside the house, Finn’s grandfather had made the fire burn brighter, causing the indoor temperature to rise drastically. One of the good things about winter in the north was that even though it could be more than twenty degrees below zero outside, it could be more than twenty degrees above zero inside. After beckoning Graceful Lee and Hanson Lee to sit in the next room, Finn finally commented, “Chairman Lee, you seem to have recovered well.”

At the beginning of the year, Hanson Lee had even had a heart stoppage. Now that he could sit in a wheelchair and visit Flame Nation, it seemed he’d made an excellent recovery.
