The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Hamed really admired Charlie from the bottom of his heart.

It was not only because Charlie had cured his leg, and it was not only because Charlie had guided him in

resisting Ten Thousand Armies’ attack, but it was also because of Charlie's ability to easily turn the tide around in

big situations.

Before this, the country had frequently been at war, and the parties who were at war were always fighting

incessantly. The intervention of Ten Thousand Armies had also placed Hamed and his camp at stake.

However, after Charlie's guidance, both sides had actually ceased fire for a long time, and during this period of

time, everyone had been completely relieved.

Now, Charlie had positioned Ten Thousand Armies back in and placed him in a coordinated defensive position,

which just made up for the weak defensive problem on Sayid's side.

After all, you should know that if this problem was not solved, in front of the huge pressure of survival as well as

defensive pressure, Sayid's side would be more eager to destroy all the opposition forces.

And now, the addition of Ten Thousand Armies had immediately given them great relief from this pressure,

easing their mood.

Thinking back to the fact that Ten Thousand Armies had already pledged their allegiance to Charlie, Hamed

admired him even more in his heart.

At this moment, Charlie spoke up and asked Hamed," By the way, how are the guys that | sent here the other

day doing now?"

Hamed smiled and said, "They are digging fortifications in the mountain, and these include those students who

were with Miss Hart. | have arranged for them to be in the excavation class, and they are responsible for doing

hard labor at the forefront of the tunnel every day."

Just as he was speaking, they suddenly heard a sudden muffled sound from the interior of the nearby mountain,

followed by an earthquake-like shaking of the mountain.

Hamed hurriedly explained, "Brother, that's the tunnel excavation. Holes will be drilled into the stone walls to

blast the stones out. After that, the shattered stones will be transported out, and the anchoring will be done. The

tunnel will then basically be completed." Charlie nodded and laughed as he said, "This place of yours is really

good. | don't have to worry about people running away even if | were to lock them in this place. After all, even if

they managed to escape, it would be impossible for them to run out alive."

"Yes!" Hamed laughed and said, "This base is surrounded by mountains and so, it's really not easy for them to

run out. Even the farmers around here are my people, and there are also my eyes and ears everywhere. As long

as you send people over, | will use my head as a guarantee that they absolutely will not be able to run away, and

that absolutely no one will be able to find them here."

Charlie smiled in satisfaction and said, "That's good. In the future, if | meet any unscrupulous people, | will send

them over to you as free labor."

Hamed patted his chest and agreed to it, "Don't worry. I'll take as many as | can get!"

"Mm." Charlie nodded slightly, looked at the time, and said, "Okay, Brother I still have to rush back to Oskia, so |

won't be talking to you anymore. I'll cback when | have the chance to do so."

Hamed was very reluctant, and he said, "Brother you should at least have lunch over here first before leaving?

We can enjoy a few drinks together! | bought sOskian Moutai liquor the other day, and | was waiting for you

to cso that | could have a drink with you!"

Charlie smiled and said, "No, Brother. | appreciate it, but I still have more than four hours of flight back. It will

already be nighttwhen | arrive in Oskia later.

| will cover more often after Ten Thousand Armies has made a prototype of the base. So, both you and

Porter can also communicate more in private."

Hamed could only nod and say, "Alright, then. Since you are anxious to go back, | will not keep you any

longer. Be sure to have a good drink withthe next tyou come!"

"Okay!"

A few minutes later, Charlie returned to Beirut alone by helicopter.

When he arrived at the airport in Beirut and was ready to transfer to the Concorde to return home, he received a

phone call from Porter.

Since Charlie had already made all the terms and conditions very clear to Sayid, Porter had signed all the

agreements smoothly after meeting with them in Damascus.

Moreover, Sayid s leader had personally placed the map in front of Porter and let him pick the right location

directly from the map.

Porter had also abided by the

agreement and chosen a relatively

.n

regular piece of land in the middle of Damascus and the opposition forces gathering area to be used as Ten

Thousand Armies’ rear base.

Although the overall area of that land was already nearly one hundred and fifty square kilometers, Sayid's leader

was still very quick to agree to it.

For him, this piece of land happened to be the best choice to build a buffer zone, and he definitely would have

much more peace of mind with Ten Thousand Armies stationed there in the future. Other than that, it was the

issue of the captives.
