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
The Oskian boy shook his head at the side as he said, “Autumn, I know that as a girl, you will certainly be afraid of death. Nevertheless, you have to believe that in this world, no one would dare to randomly kill an American citizen. Therefore, we will certainly be rescued in the end!”Charlie could not help but feel amused as he burst out in laughter because of him. After that, he could not stop himself from asking him, “Brother, I’ll say something fair and objective. Various shootings are emerging endlessly, one after the other in the United States all the time. This leads to several or even dozens of innocent civilians deaths at every turn. You still dare to say that no one would dare to simply kill an American citizen? Don’t you think that is very contradictory?”The boy of Oskian descent turned red in the face out of extreme anger as he retorted, “The incidents that you are talking about happened within the country, not overseas! So, how could you take the incidents that happen
“Concorde airliner?!”Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded when Charlie said those two words.Who would dare to believe that the legendary king of speed in civil aviation, the Concorde airliner, which had already exited the scene more than twenty years ago, would actually still be in operation now?!The kid of Oskian descent subconsciously laughed mockingly as he said, “You really know how to brag and exaggerate. The Concorde airliner has already retired from the scene a long time ago. There are no civil airlines in this world that own any supersonic airliners that are currently in operation. Do you treat us all as fools?!”Charlie simply shook his head and laughed in a self-deprecating manner as he said, “Sigh. I honestly do not understand myself. Why am I talking so much nonsense with you here?”After he was done speaking, Charlie looked at Autumn before he said, “The situation is very urgent now. The opposition force has already announced to the public that they will start kill
As soon as Charlie heard these words, he was immediately very alert and vigilant.At the same time, he could not help but feel contempt and disdain for the seven highly educated fools in front of him. Weren’t they waiting for the United States Navy SEALs to come and rescue them? As a result, the United States Navy SEALs had not come, but the King of Hades had come first!He could hear Commander Hamed exchanging a few words with Faizal and the others. He was probably asking them about the situation with the hostages inside.One of the guards hurriedly replied that everything was normal. After that, the leader said, “Open the door.”Immediately afterward, there was the sound of the door getting unlocked.After a short while, the iron door was pushed open from the outside. A man wearing a desert camouflage uniform took a step forward as he walked into the room.What was interesting was that his figure was swaying toward the left the moment he stepped into the room. Charlie instantly
