Chapter 173

How could Benson Smith say no? He thanked the mayor profusely, showing immense appreciation. He then instructed his daughter to safe keep it, as the man intended to have it framed up in his living room the minute he got home.

The other political leaders also presented Benson Smith with the gifts they had brought for him.
