Charlie nodded. "Alright, then. Ask them to arrange for a skydiving instructor to board the plane with me so that he can teach me how to release the parachute and control the direction along the way!"

After flying for more than four hours, Charlie's Concorde finally landed at the Beirut Airport, in the capital of Lebanon.

It was the afternoon in Beirut, and the temperature had already reached about 30 degrees Celsius.

The sky was a little hazy, and the air was a little damp. It seemed as though a heavy rain had not fallen even after being held back for a long time.

After Charlie's plane had landed, the plane taxied directly into a huge hangar. At this time, there was also a transport plane with four propeller engines parked in the hangar. A group of crew members was surrounding the plane to conduct a detailed inspection.

After the plane had stopped, the ladder was docked. The crew opened the door, and both Charlie and Isaac walked out of the cabin together.

At this time, there was a middle-aged man who looked like an Oskian standing in a respectful manner below the ladder. As soon as Charlie and Isaac got down, he

hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully as he said, "Hello, Young Master. Welcome to Beirut."

Charlie looked at the other party, and he realized that this person seemed to be about the same age as Isaac. He was in his thirties, and he spoke the Oskian dialect fluently. He did not seem like an Oskian who had been living abroad for a very long time.

So, he asked, "Are you from the Wade family?"

The other party hurriedly replied, "Young Master, I am the spokesperson of the Wade family in the Middle East. My name is Gary Hackford. Lord Wade specifically asked me to fly over here from Saudi Arabia to help build the path for you and provide you with all of the assistance and help that I can."

Charlie nodded slightly before he asked him, "How is the situation in Syria now?"

Gary explained, "The Syrian opposition force is in a stalemate with the United States Embassy. However, the United States Embassy seems to have a very firm and determined attitude this time. They do not have any intention to compromise or give in at all. So, I believe that the opposition force will begin to lose their patience soon."

Charlie asked again, "Is the United States Embassy not preparing to intervene in this matter at all, or do they have any other plans behind the scenes?" i

Gary replied helplessly, "At present, it looks like they are not prepared to intervene in this matter at all. This is mainly because they have not gotten any benefits from Syria even after wasting a lot of energy and labor here over the past few years. Since they have already withdrawn their army, they do not want to be implicated in this matter again." 3

"On the other hand, it is also because the young Americans who were kidnapped are neither the children of any American politicians nor are they the children of any wealthy or influential families in the United States. Since they do not have any background at all, the United States intends to minimize this problem and treat it as a trivial matter instead. In fact, they have already begun to suppress information in their homeland, and they have also forbidden the major European media not to release any follow-up reports on this matter." 4

"This way, even if the opposition force were to truly kill those eight people, the American citizens would not hear of any news about this matter at all."

Having said that, Gary said emotionally, "Moreover, the situation in Syria is particularly chaotic right now. It is not only the government and the opposition force who are fighting against one another, but the Kurdish forces are also involved in this war."

"The camp behind the scenes is even more complicated. The United States, Russia, Iran, and Turkey are constantly adding fuel to the flames behind the scenes. This has led to various armed conflicts in Syria over the years. Moreover, when it comes to war, both sides would simply kill without blinking an eye at all. There is no leeway whatsoever. The United States Embassy has long warned the American citizens not to come to Syria if there is nothing urgent. However, these eight young people acted willfully, and they deliberately came here even though they already knew about the situation over here. So, it is actually justified even if the United States refuses to save them now that something has truly happened." i

Charlie nodded with a solemn expression on his face a s he asked, "Is the skydiving instructor here yet?" 2

"He is here." Gary said, "The instructor is adjusting the parachute bag and the device on the plane. I will bring you up to see him. By the way, Young Master, our plane will take off in ten minutes!" 1
