"Do you know what it means when this news is not reported? It means that your fellow Americans do not even know that you guys have been captured!" 2
"So, the United States army will not bother to send any troops here to rescue you, let alone mobilize troops to come and rescue you guys. The United States Embassy has already rejected the opposition force's demands for a ransom of eighty million US dollars yet you are still expecting them to send troops here to rescue you? Do you think that your father is Buffett or Bill Gates?"
"I don't believe you!" Several of the American youngsters retorted in unison. "You must be lying!” 2
The Indian-American boy just now looked at Autumn a s he said loudly, "Autumn, you have to be careful of this man. I strongly suspect that this person is a member of the opposition force! Otherwise, even if he has great abilities, it would be simply impossible for him to arrive here within such a short time. Besides, don't forget that there are still one to two thousand soldiers from the opposition force keeping guard here. If he was not one of them, he would never have been able to make it in here alive! Look at him! He is wearing the opposition force's clothes, and he is even holding their weapon. This person is most certainly a
member of the opposition force!"
Immediately after that, he stared at Charlie before he said coldly, "This guy came all the way here to put on a n act and even slander our motherland. We do not know his intentions at all! Perhaps it could even be because the opposition force knows that you are an Oskian-American. That is the reason why they found a n Oskian from their team to come and set up a trap for you. I think that the opposition force must have arranged for him to come here to trick you into instigating a rebellion! You must not believe him!"
Charlie was about to burst into laughter out of rage because of this silly fool. So, he asked him, "Since you are so firm and certain that I am a member of the opposition force, aren’t you afraid that I will use the AK47 in my hands to kill you since you are being so pretentious in front of me?"
The Indian-American boy was obviously a little nervous, but he still pretended to be very tough as he said, "I don't believe that you would dare to attack me! After all, didn't you guys take such great efforts to capture us just so you could use us as a condition to negotiate with our motherland? If you dare to kill me, what are you going to use as a negotiating term with our motherland, then? Moreover, if our motherland chooses to retaliate against you, that would be your doomsday! When the time comes, just a few missiles would be able to completely turn this place into flat ground!" 3
Charlie replied satirically, “Even if I were to include every single one of you, amongst the eight of you, aside from the fact that you guys are all brainiacs with much better academic performances, in terms of your family background, are your parents rich and wealthy? In terms of your background, can any one of your parents become a United States state assemblyman?"
