Charlie asked Faizal, “Don’t you have a unilingual practice here?”Faizal shook his head and said, “If we were to be unilingual, we should be speaking Arabic. However, the composition of the opposition force’s soldiers is more complicated, and many of us do not speak Arabic.”“Some of these people have been living in other countries ever since they were young. Some of them lived in former colonial areas, so they have been speaking English or French ever since they were young. So, the language and communication between all of the soldiers are not entirely smooth and easy.”“Take me for instance. I actually went to the United States with my parents when I was very young, and I even got a green card. I served in the US Army for three years. I only responded to a call and came back to join the Freedom Army just a few years ago. So, my command of the Arabic language is very poor, and I can essentially only communicate in English.”Charlie nodded. This kind of multilingual situation was
Charlie and Faizal followed behind the man as they walked into the cellar, and it was only then that Charlie discovered that this cellar was indeed dug very deep. Even the staircase itself was at least five to six meters deep, and it was about two stories high.As it was the rainy season during winter in Syria, there was a lot of rain, and the staircase was very dark and damp. The soil on both sides of the staircase also revealed a very strong earthy smell.As they were walking down, the person who was leading the way in front said in a flattering manner, “Captain Faizal, can I ask you for your help in regards to a certain matter?”Faizal asked coldly, “What is it?”The man hurriedly said, “Captain Faizal, I would like to apply to join the armored brigade. I can control heavy machine guns!” Faizal sneered as he asked, “I think that the reason why you want to join the armored brigade is because you are afraid of dying, right?”“No, no.” The man hurriedly said, “I simply want to j
As he spoke, a trace of Reiki was transferred into the other party’s body as it headed straight to the other party’s brain.Immediately afterward, just like Faizal, Charlie had already given this person a psychological hint. As soon as he heard this, he hurriedly said, “You are right!”Charlie nodded in satisfaction before he pointed at another person as he spoke up and said, “Brother, you must also feel very dissatisfied, right?”The man hurriedly said, “No, I dare not! I wouldn’t dare to! I will simply do as the commander asks me to. I have absolutely no other thoughts at all!”Charlie smiled before he walked toward the man and patted him on his shoulder as he said, “You have a very high level of understanding! I will certainly put in a good word for you in front of the commander in the future.”After he was done speaking, another trace of Reiki was transferred, and Charlie used the same method to firmly take control of this person’s consciousness.At this time, a man who had a
As soon as they heard Charlie’s order, someone immediately took out the key as he prepared to open the iron door inside.Charlie instructed, “You guys will keep guard outside the door later. If someone comes, try to keep him away.”With that being said, Charlie looked at the time before he said again, “I guess that your commander will come here soon. If he wants to come in, let him in. You guys should behave naturally and not let him notice anything amiss.”“Okay!” The five men agreed in unison.Immediately after that, the room door was opened.As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong earthy smell inside the room. Charlie quickly stepped inside, and he discovered that there was nothing in the whole room. There was only a lone lamp that was hung on the top of the room. Not only that, the wattage of the bulb was very low, and the light was extremely dim.Although there were some traces of artificial reinforcement at the top of the room, it was basically simple mud walls s
Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Miss Hart, you truly have too many questions. However, I can tell you with certainty that I am not from the armed opposition force. Your father entrusted me with the task of rescuing you just a few hours ago. So, I rushed here, all the way from Oskia, in a hurry.”At this time, an Asian male spoke up with an expression filled with shock. “This… this… how could this be possible? We have only been captured for a little more than half a day. So, there is no way that you would have been able to rush all the way here from Oskia within such a short time!”Charlie smiled as he said, “What you feel is impossible might not truly be impossible.”After he was done speaking, he looked at Autumn before he said indifferently, “We are pressed for time. I will prepare a set of the opposition force’s uniform for you shortly. You should leave with me after putting it on.”Autumn blurted out as she asked, “Then… then what about my friends?”Charlie shrugged a
When he heard Charlie’s question, the boy blurted out and retorted, “First of all, I don’t believe that you came here from Oskia! That is simply too unrealistic!”After he was done speaking, he looked at everyone before he said in a serious tone, “All of us have studied world geography, and we have also researched Oskia's geography as well. You should know the distance between Oskia and this place!”“If a person were to fly here from the central part of Oskia, the straight-line distance would be at least six thousand kilometers, right?” “If a person were to fly here from the western region of Oskia, the straight-line distance would not be less than five thousand kilometers.”Charlie gave him a thumbs-up as he smiled and said, “You are indeed so f*cking intelligent! You know everything!”After he was done speaking, Charlie turned the conversation around as he bantered, “But you guessed it wrong. Smartypants, I did not come here from Central Oskia or West Oskia. I came here from Ea
“Do you know what it means when this news is not reported? It means that your fellow Americans do not even know that you guys have been captured!”“So, the United States army will not bother to send any troops here to rescue you, let alone mobilize troops to come and rescue you guys. The United States Embassy has already rejected the opposition force’s demands for a ransom of eighty million US dollars yet you are still expecting them to send troops here to rescue you? Do you think that your father is Buffett or Bill Gates?”“I don’t believe you!” Several of the American youngsters retorted in unison. “You must be lying!”The Indian-American boy just now looked at Autumn as he said loudly, “Autumn, you have to be careful of this man. I strongly suspect that this person is a member of the opposition force! Otherwise, even if he has great abilities, it would be simply impossible for him to arrive here within such a short time. Besides, don’t forget that there are still one to two thous
As soon as Charlie mentioned his name, Autumn was extremely shocked, and she had a very startled and astonished look on her face.She had never met Charlie before, and the both of them had only spoken through voice chat on WhatsApp once. Since the both of them had not talked much and there was not much content to their conversation, she did not have a very deep impression of Charlie’s voice. So, she had not drawn the connection between this man before her to Charlie, who had contacted her through WhatsApp.But now that she had heard his name, Autumn finally made the corresponding match!At this moment, she blurted out excitedly, “Mr. Wade… why are you here?”Charlie shrugged as he sighed helplessly and said, “I already told you that this place is not safe, right? But you did not believe me. Do you know how worried your father is for you?”Autumn could not hold her tears back when she heard these words.The Indian-American boy at the side subconsciously said, “Autumn, don’t be foo
