"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?! 1
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 u s all as fools?!" 1
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 killing hostages if the United States Embassy refuses to agree to their demand. So, w e cannot delay time any further, and we will have to
leave this place now."
Autumn could not help but ask, "What about my friends, then?"
Charlie reached out his hands to stop her as he said, "I believe that you have also witnessed for yourself and realized what kind of fools your friends are now. I will be very frank. I will only take you alone away with me today. I will give you ten seconds to consider whether you want to leave with me or not."
"You will only take one person to leave with you?!" The boy of Indian descent raised his hand in the air disdainfully as he made a gesture of reaching out and twisting a light bulb as he curled his lips and said," You’re certainly a person who thinks very highly of yourself. To tell you the truth, even if you begged me t o leave with you, I would never leave with you!"
Charlie ignored him, and he simply looked at Autumn as he said, "There are five seconds left."

Autumn suddenly fell into a dilemma.
She really wanted to leave with Charlie. After all, her father was the one who had entrusted Charlie with the task of coming to Syria to save her.
