An interview is definitely out of the question.
Because Ben's current identity is a fake!
The more he says, the more false information he will reveal.
Therefore, Ben rejected the reporter's interview request without even thinking about it.
"I'm sorry, I don't accept interviews!"
Hearing this, the reporter was very disappointed but didn't dare to pester him.
This is not Earth, but a world of the extraordinary!
A powerful extraordinary being has a detached status.
If a reporter dares to pester an extraordinary being after they have clearly refused an interview, they deserve to be beaten to death!
"Uncle, let's go!" Ben said.
Uncle immediately led Ben into the transport plane.
After the two found seats, Uncle asked, "Valta Tallis, that was a good opportunity to make a name for yourself! Why didn't you want to accept the interview?"
Ben didn't think much and said, "I'm not very interested in these things, and… for us extraordinary beings, fame and wealth are illusory; only our own strength is fundamental!"
Hearing this, Uncle couldn't help but nod, his face showing a gratified smile.
Low-key, humble, clear-headed, determined… Uncle became more and more satisfied with this Valta Tallis.
Soon, the transport plane carried the two back to the association building.
"Valta Tallis, it's already noon, have lunch before you leave!" Uncle said. "How about eating in the cafeteria?"
It was hard to refuse his kindness.
Ben hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Uncle immediately ordered the cafeteria to prepare two of their best dishes for lunch.
A moment later, he led Ben to the leadership's private room in the cafeteria.
Although the dishes on the table didn't look as exquisite as those in a big hotel, they were excellent in terms of color, aroma, and taste.
"Valta Tallis, don't be polite! It's just some home-style food. I don't have so many formalities here, eat whatever you like," Uncle said.
There were only two of them in the private room.
Ben was indeed a little hungry at this point, so he said, "Uncle, then I won't be polite."
"Don't call me Uncle," Uncle said with a smile. "Since you and my daughter are of the same generation, why not call me Uncle? It sounds more intimate."
Ben hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Okay, Uncle."
Hearing this "Uncle," Uncle smiled very happily.
"Haha, come, come, Valta Tallis, eat, eat…"
He personally picked some dishes for Ben and poured him a glass of wine.
Ben felt uncomfortable all over.
This old codger, Rutherford's father, seems to be a little too enthusiastic towards him.
Ben decided to leave immediately after finishing this meal.
A moment later, seeing Ben slowing down his eating speed, Uncle started chatting with Ben about his family life:
"Valta Tallis, can I be so bold as to ask what your parents do?"
"They're in business, doing a little business," Ben said casually. "My parents are not extraordinary beings."
This wasn't a lie.
His parents were indeed considered to be in business and were not extraordinary beings.
Including his several uncles, none of them were extraordinary beings.
Currently, in the entire Henry family, there were only three extraordinary beings: the old man, the eldest cousin, and Ben.
Uncle nodded, asking this question mainly to determine whether the young man in front of him had a clean family background…
Next, Uncle asked Ben several questions about his family background, and Ben answered them one by one according to his actual situation.
Suddenly, Uncle asked, "Valta Tallis, what do you think of my daughter?"
This question made Ben a little strange, but he quickly said:
"Uncle, Junior Sister Rutherford is recognized as the number one freshman. Her excellence is beyond my ability to describe."
Uncle was very satisfied with Ben's answer.
However, he still wanted to confirm, "Valta Tallis, what do you think of Rutherford's appearance?"
"Is that even a question?" Ben said without thinking. "She has the beauty to captivate fish and birds and put the moon to shame, that's Junior Sister Rutherford. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."
Whether she was the most beautiful or not, Ben wasn't sure.
But at this moment, he could only say that.
Because this fake identity would be exposed to Uncle sooner or later, everything he said now had to be in the attitude of dealing with his father-in-law.
"Good! Since that's the case, then go pursue Rutherford!"
Uncle suddenly said something shocking.
"Cough cough…"
Ben, who was drinking water, choked on the spot.
He looked at Uncle in surprise. "Uncle?"
He originally thought that Uncle was so enthusiastic because he had something to ask for, but he didn't expect it to be this?
"What's wrong? Valta Tallis, do you have any concerns?" Uncle asked with a smile. "Or do you think Rutherford is not good enough for you?"
"No, no, Junior Sister Rutherford is so excellent, I'm not good enough for her."
"Valta Tallis, I admire you very much and believe that you will be a good match for Rutherford, so I will support you in pursuing Rutherford."
Hearing this, Ben immediately said, "But… I heard that Junior Sister Rutherford already has someone she likes! Even her Flare-Flare Fruit was given to her by her boyfriend! Their love story is very popular online, and many young people in love now regard them as role models!"
"It's not good for me to interfere…"
Faced with this question, Uncle was naturally prepared.
"Valta Tallis, I understand your concerns, but rest assured, their relationship is not what you think. The reason why my daughter has been teaming up with that Henry family kid is entirely out of gratitude, worried that the Henry family kid would have an accident in the spirit realm. As long as that kid safely passes through the tenth level of the spirit realm, they will no longer continue to team up."
Hearing this, Ben blinked and asked, "Uncle, is this Junior Sister Rutherford's true thought? Or is it your personal guess?"
Uncle said, "My daughter told me this herself before going to school."
I've replaced all instances of "Uncle Song" with "Uncle."
