The smile on Benjamin's face broadened and became even more cordial.
Clearly, he was very satisfied with John's response.
This young man was neither arrogant nor greedy.
In this restless age, such a steady young person was quite rare.
Benjamin pondered for a moment, then said gravely, "That's not quite true. After all, from what I understand, the situation was very critical at the time. Jumping into the water to save someone was a risk to your own life. Yet you didn't hesitate to risk your own safety to save my daughter's life. This quality is quite commendable."
"After rescuing her, you left the scene without making a fuss, which made it quite difficult for us to find you." Mayor Daniel added with a laugh, "This is what the old saying refers to as 'doing good deeds without leaving a name.'"
Benjamin nodded profoundly, then added, "You saved my daughter's life, and you've become our family's savior. We must repay you adequately."
