The Hero

Chapter 164 The Trash of the Society

The three head for Zephiel's old friend's residence after Zephiel gives Mackenzie an address.

It was an enormous bungalow located in Old Medb, and it seemed spacious yet simple.

However, such a bungalow will be very expensive, costing around $ 10,000,000 to about 6,500 square feet. In addition, the bungalow is located in the average part of Old Medb.

If it was located in an upscale area, its price would instantly soar to hundreds of millions, which was a terrifying amount.

Of course, this would only be frightening to most people.

In comparison, such a bungalow did not seem like something worth being surprised by Javier and Zephiel.

After Mackenzie parked the car, she remained inside while Javier accompanied Zephiel into the bungalow. They met an old man who was watering his plants inside.

The old man was about 70 years old with a bald head that reflected sunlight. He held a bucket in his hand as he watered what looked like a rather expensive flower.

“This is Zeke Snowden. He's doing very well for himself now. The company listed under its name has now reached the 500 strongest companies in the world.”

After Zephiel introduced his old friend, Javier respectfully greeted the old man who was watering his plants.

Zeke was delighted when he put down his water bucket, wiped his hands on his shirt, and hugged Zephiel.

“That's been years, old friend! I thought you'd been fed fish in there! ”

Zephiel laughed out loud. "Of course not. I'd rather come back here and be fed by you, you're an old stard b.

Both seem very close. None of them looked upset or frustrated, even though they had just thrown a rather extreme joke.

Afterwards, Zeke greeted Javier and said, “Come, we sit inside. It's been almost 20 years since I last met your grandfather. The two of us have often teased each other like this since we were young, so you must not misunderstand the bond we have!”

Javier hurriedly said, “Of course, I don't want to. I envy the true friendship you two have.”

Zeke patted Javier on the shoulder. “Hmm.. Not bad.”

After they went inside, Zeke instructed his servant to pour coffee for his guest.

The three then drank coffee while chatting. Javier is mostly just there to listen to what is being said because he can't interrupt, he's not even allowed to do it.

However, both the coffee and the flowers are admirable. So, Javier goes to admire the flowers rather than listen to two old men reminiscing about their past.

'The flowers Zeke planted here are pretty good, plus they're from an incredible species.

'She had a pure Pygmy lotus here, which was supposed to be a tender flower in a certain country, which could only be bought there.

'This plant will only bloom for seven days. The outer petals will be purple, while the middle is filled with many golden stamens. There was a sprouting stamen inside that would only bloom for a moment before withering.

Some say that the purpose of the stamens is to protect the stamens that are budding.

'In addition, this flower is known to be very expensive. I've heard from some botanists that a pound of this plant can sell for €150,000.

'It is actually rather surprising to learn that a flower alone can cost more than a human life. Although, it does look quite beautiful.'

At that moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded from outside. “Whose batter car is this? How dare the driver block my entrance!?”

Javier turned to look at the entrance. 'We didn't block the entrance, so it was probably Zeke's neighbor who caused a commotion.'

As he was about to continue admiring the flowers, he heard the hurried clicking sound caused by a pair of high heels. When Javier turned around again, he saw a woman with thick makeup. Also, the woman looks rather unique with just her earrings and nose ring.

While the woman is talking, Javier notices that she even has a tongue. 'Did he really feel no pain when he finished all that!?'

While the woman was still babbling, Zeke suddenly walked out.

"What are you doing, Gi? He's my guest, and you should call him Javier!”

“Why should I call him by his name? Look at his cheap clothes! The fact that he was standing there stained our plants! However, grandfather wants me to call him by his name? It can't be!"

Gigi did not hide the scorn that was in her eyes as she turned around to go inside.

'He didn't even seem to listen to his own grandfather's instructions, playing well.'

Zeke looked helpless as he shyly said, “Her father died when he was a child, and his older brother only focused on our family business, which is why he became a little arrogant. Please, don't mind him, old friend. You too, Javier.”

The old fox only smiled, while Javier did not seem to be affected at all. Instead, she said, “My sister is even harder to manage than her, so I can understand.”

Zeke thought Javier was just being polite, but it wasn't.

What Javier meant was that if Ciara met Gigi, she was sure she would pick up the pliers and pull out all the piercings that Gigi was wearing on her!

Afterwards, Javier finds out more about the woman from Zeke's casual chatter, especially that she is called Gigi Snowden.

Besides, Javier completely forgot what Zeke told him about him, nor did he want to say any attempt to remember.

'She was just a silly girl who had no idea how insignificant she was in this vast world. I can't be bothered to hold a grudge against him.

'Plus, I'm not his father. Who am I to tell him what he should and should not do? He can go on and stay pampered for everything I care about. He'll end up being played by someone sooner or later.'

Zephiel talked to Zeke for a few more hours and was leaving when it was almost night.

However, Zeke was unwilling to let her go no matter what. "Come on. You should stay here and have a drink with me tonight. You've been hiding abroad for decades. Now that you've finally come back here, do you think I'll let you go? Don't dream!"

Zeke has passed the realistic and materialistic age for many years. Instead, she values relationships and friendships more, which are worthy of her hospitality.

Moreover, Zeke had already become such a person, from the very beginning. So, it didn't matter whether Zephiel was rich or poor. He would still be considered an old friend of Zeke's.

Therefore, after Zeke insisted, Zephiel chose to stay.

Of course, since Zephiel had decided not to leave, Javier also stayed. He did not want to leave the old fox behind.

Zeke then called a hotel under his company to deliver food there, and Javier asked Zephiel, “What about Kenzo? Should we ask him to join us?”

Zephiel waved his hand. "unneeded. Kenzo will be able to take care of himself. He will not die of hunger.”

Since Zephiel had already said it, Javier did not say anything more.

However, right at that moment, Gigi again showed herself in front of the three.

“Heh! You still dare to show your face around here, right? Are you planning on staying here to eat something delicious, perhaps?

SO

“I can't stand beggars like you. I really don't have any money, yet you still have the guts to come to an old friend's place to get free food and drinks. The two of you are the scum of society in my eyes, and all of you should go to hell!”
