After pondering and putting much thought into this matter, Hamed ground his teeth as he tried to put up a final fight and said, “Brother! It must not have been easy for you to come all the way here. Besides, it seems as though both of us are predestined. I cannot turn down your request entirely, but you also have to give me a little face. You cannot simply allow all of my efforts to go to waste, right? Don’t you have an old saying in Oskia? Don’t burn bridges and always leave some room in whatever you do in case you meet again in the future?”Charlie smiled as he said, “I have to admit that your Oskian literature is indeed not too bad. You can even mention an old saying in front of me!”Hamed smiled embarrassedly as he said, “If I were to describe it in one word, no matter what it is, I was also a top student back then.”Charlie nodded before he asked him, “You said that you wanted me to give you some face. I wonder, how do you propose I do that?”Hamed waved his hand as he spoke u
When Charlie saw the aggrieved look on Hamed’s face, he could not help but say, “Since Commander Hamed has already spoken up, I will surely remember it in the future.”Hamed cupped one fist in his other hand as a sign of respect in front of Charlie before he pointed at the eight people opposite him and said generously, “Brother, please go ahead and pick!”After he was done speaking, he was afraid that Charlie would continue trying to make the best out of his situation. So, he ground his teeth and blurted out, “Brother, why don’t we do this? I will take another step back. You can pick five of them!”The desire of the seven people to survive instantly increased!Charlie looked at Hamed before he smiled and praised him, “Commander Hamed, you are remarkably generous. Based on this point alone, I can already tell that you are a person of integrity who will keep his promises.”Hamed nodded before he said seriously, “I am someone who has always kept my promises. Regardless of whether it
Charlie did not hide the truth, and he simply nodded and said, “That’s right. I am a member of the Wade family.”As soon as his words fell, the other seven people were all shocked. They were all top outstanding talents in the financial field. So, they had a deep understanding of the economic conditions of various countries, and they naturally knew about the strength of these few wealthy and influential families in Oskia.When they heard that Charlie was a descendant of the Wade family, they immediately understood why Charlie could travel to Syria on a Concorde within such a short time.This was the power of the Wade family!It was a pity that these so-called top outstanding talents could not see the wider picture, and they had failed to recognize the great man in front of them! Hamed, who was aside, immediately gave him a thumbs-up as he blurted out, “I did not expect that you would be from the Wade family. As a member of the Wade family, you were actually able to sneak into th
Autumn was completely at a loss when she heard these words.She could tell that Charlie was not joking.She really did not know what she should do if Charlie was truly unwilling to take her companions away with them.She never would have expected her group of friends to actually be so anti-intellectual. They had already offended Charlie to death before he even revealed his own identity. Now, regardless of how much they begged or pleaded with Charlie, it would still be reasonable for Charlie to refuse to save them.Although Autumn really wanted to leave this place and head to Aurous Hill so that she could be reunited with her father, she could not bear to leave so many of her friends behind and escape on her own.There was even a certain moment where Autumn thought about not leaving at all. She thought that it might be better for her to simply stay back here with her friends so that they could live or die together. In that case, even if they were to ultimately face the worst conseq
Charlie was very angry and frustrated, and he simply pointed at her before he shouted sternly, “You, shut up! Before I came here, your life and death had nothing to do with me at all. However, since I am already here, you can only live! Even if you want to die, I will not allow you to die!”Autumn asked, “Who gave you that right?! I have the right to choose not to let you take me away!”Charlie pointed at Hamed before he asked, “Why didn’t you say these words to him when they were kidnapping you, then?”Autumn was completely speechless because of Charlie’s sudden questioning, and she could only stammer, “I… I…”Charlie replied coldly, “Stop trying to speak up. I am too lazy to continue talking nonsense with you. Today, you will have to leave regardless of whether you want to or not. If you really want to die here, after we return to Oskia and I hand you safely over to your father in Aurous Hill, you can come back here again if you want to. When that time comes, regardless of whethe
When Charlie saw Hamed limping as he walked up the stairs, Charlie felt somewhat curious. So, he casually asked, “Brother, was your leg injured before?”Hamed turned his head around to glance at Charlie before he looked at his leg again as he sighed and said, “My left leg was once seriously injured in a battle. My leg was hit by fragments after a bomb explosion. At that time, there was only one way, which was to amputate my leg, but fortunately, after exhausting all of my energy, I managed to save my leg. However, my leg had already suffered irreversible damage. So, even after recovering, my muscles were severely atrophied, and the function of my leg also deteriorated greatly. So, I ended up being a cripple…”As he spoke, he could not help but lament, “In truth, it is actually very complicated and difficult to explain and express the difficulties a crippled commander faces in a place like Syria!”Although being a cripple was not a serious form of disability, no matter what it was, H
Upon entering the cabin, Charlie pressed the emergency call button on the watch that Vladislav had given to him.The infrastructure in Syria was very poor in itself, and it was even more messed up because of the war. Hence, there were no communication signals anywhere else aside from the city itself. Even the international roaming network on cell phones would not work here. Therefore, the only communication medium was through the satellite.Fortunately, this kind of watch, which was specifically equipped for paratroopers, had a satellite communication function.As soon as the call was connected, Charlie heard Gary’s voice. “Young Master, is everything going smoothly for you?”Charlie replied, “Everything is going very well, and I will be done much earlier than originally planned. You can arrange for the helicopter to head to the scheduled location now. I will be reaching in about fifteen minutes.”Gary was dumbfounded as he said, “Young Master, it is dozens of kilometers of mounta
If those seven people were to truly die just like that, Autumn might really be unable to ever forgive herself. If this were to continue for a long time, then Autumn might fall into extreme depression and she might even choose to end her life if she could not bear it anymore.As he thought about this, Charlie questioned her in return, “So, does that mean that you will be able to overcome the hurdle in your heart as long as your friends survive too?”Autumn nodded gently before she asked, “Can you save them?”Charlie looked at Hamed before he said, “Brother, let me be honest with you. The White House will not give you a single cent even if you were to kill all seven of them.”Hamed had also realized it at this point, and he nodded as he said, “That is true indeed. They do not have any intention of giving me the money whatsoever. Besides that, they have already blocked this news all over the Western world. So, even if I were to kill all of them, the Western media will not report anyth
