Half an hour later, everyone returned to the tower and met the old man, who was over 80 years old, on the top floor.
The old man was very excited. His face, which had originally shown no hope, was now full of tears. If it weren't for the wheelchair restricting him, he would probably have come over to kowtow. He even looked much younger, giving the impression that it wasn't impossible for him to hit the century mark.
The old man regained his composure, but his voice was still a little excited and trembling.
"It's hard to express our gratitude in words. Since this city fell into silence, we have never been as happy as today."
"So, all benefactors, please accept our insignificant thank-you gift."
Achoo blinked as if he were saying to others, "You see, I told you there would be a reward."
Ache and The Shiny Star were also very excited. Especially the former; he and Achoo had never received so many thanks in their lives.
