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!" 3
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 is trade and commerce or troops in war, I will have to honor the promises that I
have already made. So, since I've already said that I will let you bring five people away with you, I will definitely not go back on my word!"
At this time, Charlie waved his hand and said, "I am also a very ethical person who abides by the social rules and mannerism. All this while, my principle has always been to return a person's kindness tenfold. So, amongst these eight people, I only want Miss Hart alone. I will leave the rest of them behind for you.” 4
When the other people heard this, they started to burst into tears.
The young man of Oskian descent began to cry as he raised his voice and said, "Mr. Wade, we are compatriots! You cannot leave me in a situation where it is not benevolent or humane at all!"
The boy of Indian descent and the others also started crying together as they begged for mercy, constantly pleading for mercy without stopping.
At this time, Autumn could not stand it anymore, and she spoke up as she pleaded, "Mr. Wade... they are all indeed very narrow-minded and have a very limited outlook. They failed to recognize your talent and abilities. I hope that you will not hold it against them. I n truth, I hope that you will try... try to save as many people as you can. It would be best... if you could save and take all of them away..."
Charlie replied indifferently, "Autumn, this is not the way things are done. The reason why I came here to save you is completely for your father’s sake. If you ask me to save them now, who would I be giving this face to, then?"
