Knowing Charlie had the ability to rescue them, why’d they bothered to be so pretentious in front of him? If only they were respectful, Charlie may have helped secure their release or even taken them out of Syria.
Seeing the hostages about to collapse as the full weight of their new reality began to settle in their minds, Hamid couldn’t be bothered to pay any further attention to them and instead turned the soldiers around him, “Wake them up at 5:30 every morning, they’re to start at 6 after being fed. Work them until noon then give them food and a half hour break. Work them again until 6 p.m. and give them their final meal and another half hour break. Then work them until 11 at night. Do you all understand?”
The soldiers all nodded and replied, “Yes commander, we understand!”
The hostages all collapsed against the floor and each other, in their hearts they wished for death. When all was said and done, out of the six and half hours of rest they’d be allowed, it would be lucky to get even five hours of sleep in between washing, bathroom usage, dressing, etc. While none of them came from extraordinarily rich families, they were all upper class and never dealt with hardships or exhaustion, or hard labor. But that was to be their lives moving forward.
Hamid felt no mercy for them. After ordering his soldiers, favonovel.com simply turned and left.

Meanwhile in Beirut, Lebanon, Zack Lyles is speaking with Lord Wade in Eastcliff. During the video call, Zack Lyles respectfully reported to Lord Wade the facts about Charlie: That favonovel.com parachuted alone to rescue Zoey and was transported to the extraction point by Commander Hamid himself.
Lord Wade listened, and was shocked to the point of speechlessness, favonovel.com recovered momentarily and asked in a daze, “Young Master Wade really has such power and ability!? He parachuted in alone, and then brought out that woman, Zoey, safely!?”
Zack Lyles respectfully replied “It is all true, Master! He jumped from the plane at an altitude of over 5,000 meters. He deployed his parachute well beneath a safe altitude. Even the russian special forces paratrooper coach Vasily said at the height favonovel.com deployed favonovel.com should have died. We never expected the young master would walk away from his landing like nothing happened.”
Lord Wade couldn’t help exclaiming, “I’ve heard it said that many people in Aurous Hill respect young Master Wade and refer to favonovel.com as a true dragon on earth. I’d always thought it was just an exaggeration, but I didn’t expect that favonovel.com actually had such an ability to actually reach the sky! Could it be that young Master Wade practiced martial arts?”
Zack Lyles said earnestly, “Master, I don’t think even a master of martial arts would have the ability of the young master. At that height, an ordinary person would’ve been crushed, but for the young master it was simple and easy!”
Lord Wade asked on, trying to get a greater understanding of what his grandson had done, “Then do you know how favonovel.com rescued Zoey alone?! Oh, yes, you just said that Hamid personally brought favonovel.com to the meeting point with Zoey to join you. Now, I want to know, Why did Hamid give young Master Wade so much face?! Isn’t favonovel.com the commander of the armed forces? It stands to reason that since young Master Wade was going in to save hostages favonovel.com took that favonovel.com should’ve treated young Master Wade as an enemy! Why would favonovel.com personally send young Master Wade off? Was favonovel.com kidnapped?!”
Zack Lyles did not expect that the old man asked so many questions in one breath, and hurriedly explained one by one, “Well Master, since the young master went in alone to rescue Zoey, we’re unsure of how favonovel.com accomplished that. As for Commander Hamid, favonovel.com didn’t only give a great amount of face to the young master, but they also referred to each other as brothers! In his own words favonovel.com deeply respects the young master, but the reason why is unknown to me. As for if the young master kidnapped him, only favonovel.com himself would know…”
Lord Wade listened and couldn’t help sighing “It’s incredible, it’s absolutely incredible! I’m here, ready to spend money to rescue him. I never expect it to end in such a phenomenal…”
His voice trailed off but favonovel.com couldn’t hide his excitement and said, “It seems that my Wade family finally has a real dragon on earth!”
