Charlie nodded and said, “What you said is right, I can’t save you, so just stay here honestly.”
When the blond man heard this, he coldly snorted, and said angrily: “I don’t need you to save me! There are so many guards outside. If I go out with you, I will be beaten into a hornet’s nest by a machine gun! I’d rather stay, calm down and wait for my forces from my country to rescue me! Maybe they will immediately agree to the opposition’s request, or send a SEAL team to rescue us!”
“Yes!” Another blonde girl said: “Our US Navy SEALs are the top special forces in the world. They perform the most difficult tasks all over the world, including killing terrorists at any point on Earth. This force is not too much, I believe they will come to save us!”
Charlie smiled and said, “How do you know that the United States will send a Navy SEAL to rescue you? Who gave you the confidence?”
An American boy with a dark panel next to him said without hesitation: “We in the United States have always been strong and will not allow any foreign armed forces to harm our citizens!”
“Also, don’t forget that we have a large number of military bases around the world, and there are several in the Middle East alone!”
“Turkey, a neighboring country in northern Syria, has several of our military bases;”
“In Saudi Arabia near southern Syria also has our military base!”
“So, they arelikely to send Navy SEALs from these two countries to rescue us!”
When Charlie heard this, he couldn’t help but exclaimed: “I found that you are all very good at it. You can speak Chinese as well, have you studied it specifically?”
Another Indian-American boy said proudly: “To tell you the truth, we are all top students in the United States. Everyone has several master’s and doctoral degrees. Everyone is proficient in several languages, and we can speak Chinese. What’s up? Japanese, French, German, all of them!”
Charlie couldn’t help but gave him a thumbs-up, and asked him with a smile: “It’s awesome, it’s really awesome.”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly changed his conversation and sighed: “Oh, I really don’t understand. How can you learn so many languages for a person who has no brains? Do people who lack the heart and eyes have the talent to learn languages?”
The man blurted out, “You…what did you say!?”
Charlie sneered: “You said you have military bases in several countries around you, so why have I been here all the way from China? Your SEALs are so close, but they haven’t yet arrived to take you. What about a ghost?”
