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
Charlie’s words left Autumn completely speechless.She finally understood the biggest difference between Charlie and herself.She thought too lightly and simply of human nature, and she thought of the worldly rules in a way too ideal manner.However, Charlie had already seen right through this way earlier.It was indeed very simple to help others, but there had to be a suitable reason.Otherwise, even if the food that was wasted in the developed countries every day would be sufficient to feed all of the people in Africa, why were they still going hungry?The main reason was why should the one billion people in the developed countries save up the wasted food to send it to Africa?It would be very simple for them to just waste the food. If they did not want to eat it anymore or could not finish the food, they could just throw it into the trash can easily.Why should they be asked to send the wasted food to the Africans?It did not make any sense at all!The top 100 richest peop
As soon as Hamed said these words, Autumn felt even more ashamed to the point she did not even dare to raise her head.In truth, although they were highly educated as they were all so-called elites, they were essentially a generation who had been brainwashed by the Western media.They always felt that everything that the Westerners said was the truth, whereas any other places aside from the Western countries were always falling behind.They would always see the Western media portraying how other countries were all falling behind, or how turbulent and chaotic some countries were, and how some people were destitute and had no means of survival at all. So, they could not help but develop a sense of consciousness that made them want to become the heroes or heroines in this world.As a result, they had begun to travel to various third-world countries so that they could try to change the entire world based on their own abilities.However, they would often overlook the most important poi
