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. 2
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 m e 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 anything about this matter anyway. In that case, I will not be able to force or coerce them into doing anything at all.”
As he spoke, Hamed sighed as he ground his teeth
and said, "Okay, then. Brother, if you need them, I will release them, or I could even arrange for another helicopter to send them over here."
Autumn suddenly had a very surprised look on her face.
However, at this time, Charlie immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't. I only need them to survive and stay alive, but I don't want to take them away with m e."
Hamed hurriedly asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Charlie spoke up and said, "Well, don't kill them, but keep them as laborers. Let them do chores such as cooking, digging trenches, and transporting goods in your army. I believe that they will surely be capable of performing those tasks. Let them stay alive, and make them stay in Syria for the rest of their lives so that they can continue working for you. That way, you would not have kidnapped them in vain." 5
Hamed immediately understood Charlie's intentions.
He knew that Charlie did not want to save those few people either. However, he was simply making sure that they would stay alive because he was giving Autumn face.
So, he immediately agreed and said, "Brother, since you have already said so, don't worry. You can rest assured that I will make good use of them. I will feed them so that they can survive and stay alive so that they can sincerely and earnestly work as my coolie.
