When he heard Charlie's question, the boy blurted out and retorted, "First of all, I don't believe that you came here from Oskia! That is simply too unrealistic!"
After he was done speaking, he looked at everyone before he said in a serious tone, "All of us have studied world geography, and we have also researched Oskia’s geography as well. You should know the distance between Oskia and this place!"
"If a person were to fly here from the central part of Oskia, the straight-line distance would be at least six thousand kilometers, right?"
"If a person were to fly here from the western region of Oskia, the straight-line distance would not be less than five thousand kilometers."
Charlie gave him a thumbs-up as he smiled and said," You are indeed so f*cking intelligent! You know everything!"
After he was done speaking, Charlie turned the conversation around as he bantered, "But you guessed it wrong. Smartypants, I did not come here from Central Oskia or West Oskia. I came here from East Oskia." "East Oskia?!” The Indian-American boy whom Charlie
had referred to as a smartypants replied disdainfully," It would be even more impossible if it was East Oskia! The distance from East Oskia to this place is at least seven thousand kilometers. How could you possibly fly over here within such a short time? On a rocket?" 2
As he spoke, he sneered as he said, "Besides, as everyone knows, Syria has not opened up their air traffic yet because of the war. If you want to get to Syria from Oskia, you would have to fly into one of the neighboring countries first before transferring to land transportation to get into the country. Even if you use the shortest route and do not delay it for even a minute, based on my estimation, you would only be able to arrive after more than twenty hours. However, we have not even been captured for twenty-four hours yet. Do you have some sort of unforeseen or divine ability? Therefore, in my opinion, you are just lying!" 2
Charlie shook his head helplessly before he looked at Autumn and asked, "Is this guy always like this?"
