Chapter 2644


    A few minutester, the helicopter that Charlie was in arrived at the Aurous Airport.


    The Concorde was parked at the end of the airport runway.


    The pilot spoke up at this time as he said, "Young Master, Chairman Cameron, the people from the airport gave us feedback saying that the Concorde is already prepared to take off. We cannd directly next to the Concorde before boarding and taking off immediately!"


    "Okay!" Charlie nodded. He became more aware of the reason behind the sess of many big and influential families, and arge part of it was because of the support and guarantee behind the sess.


    If ordinary people wanted to go to Syria ording to the conventional route, it would take them at least twenty-four hours from the moment they boarded the ne.


    However, with such aplete support system, the time taken to arrive in Syria could be reduced to nearly six hours.


    The eighteen-hour difference might not seem like a big deal during any ordinary time, and it would be nothing more than the difference between a ne ticket and a train ticket. However, in the face of an


    extremely important and urgent event, there were, in fact, many things that could be done and many results that could be changed in these eighteen hours. 3


    Just as the helicopter was descending, Charlie suddenly received a phone call from Yolden. As soon as the call was connected, Yolden spoke in an extremely panicked voice, "Charlie... something serious has happened to Autumn..."


    Charlie hurriedly asked, "Uncle Hart, don''t be anxious. Speak slowly and tell me about it. What exactly happened to Autumn?"


    Yolden blurted out, "I just received news from a local friend saying that the government''s military operation failed today! The troops that they sent there were surrounded by the opposition force, and over a thousand people were killed or injured. Nearly a hundred people were captured, including Autumn and the other seven young Americans..."


    "What?!" Charlie eximed in shock, "Has the news already been confirmed?"


    Yolden replied in an extremely


    nervous voice, "Yes, it has already


    been confirmed...the government is


    preparing tounch a military retaliation now, but the opposition force has already told the


    government and the United States Embassy to pay them a ransom of eighty million US dors. Otherwise, the eight of them, including Autumn, will all be executed!" Content

    Charlie hurriedly asked, "Then, did the United States Embassy dere its position and stand in this


    matter?" "Yes, they have already


    expressed their stand." Yolden sighed as he said, "Their


    spokesperson strongly condemned the actions of the opposition force, and they said that they would not ept nor would they sumb to the opposition force''s threat. They demanded the opposition force to release the hostages. Otherwise, they willunch a full-on military offensive against them..."


    Charlie''s tone subconsciously became more solemn and he said, "In that case, it is very likely that they would have already angered the other party, then."Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    "That''s right..." Yolden ground his teeth as he cursed," My friend knows some people in the United States Embassy, and it seems as though they actually do not care about the lives of those eight young people at all!" 6


    "Moreover, they are not willing to pay for the ransom at all because they have already made a lot of enemies i n the Middle East over the years. As soon as they make thepromise and give in this time, many others would definitely follow suit. So, they want to make sure that they can prevent something like this from happening again..."

    As he spoke, Yolden choked as he said, "The opposition force is also very angry because of the attitude of the United States Embassy. They said that they will give them six hours. After six hours, one person will be executed every half an hour. I am afraid that the odds are not in Autumn''s favor this time..."


    Charlie hurriedlyforted him, "Uncle Hart, don''t worry too much about it first..." 4


    Yolden cried bitterly as he said, "Sigh. How could I possibly not be worried?! I am so worried that I am about to have a heart attack now!" "Besides that, I also regret it! I regret making Autumn a n American citizen back then. Since she was born in the United States, I naturally decided to make her an American citizen. If she was an Oskian citizen, she would at least have a favorable chance to turn things around..." 4


    "It is a pity that Autumn and all of her ssmates and friends are all Americans..." 3


    Charlie hurriedly said, "Uncle Hart, you shouldn''t be so anxious or pessimistic first. I will be setting off for Syria right now. So, I will definitely find a way to rescue your daughter. You can stay back in the country, and you can rest assured as you wait for my good news!"
