So, he hurriedly shook hands with Porter and said excitedly, "Hello, Mr. Waldron! I must have offended you because of what happened before but please, don’t take it to heart..."
Porter said solemnly, "Commander Hamed, please be rest assured. Since Mr. Wade has already said that we should turn the page over and start afresh, I would never dwell on this matter anymore."
When Hamed saw that Porter was so forthcoming and respectful toward Charlie in his words, he was amazed. He wondered why Porter had such great respect for Charlie.
Charlie smiled slightly at this time and said, "Brother, Porter and Ten Thousand Armies which is under his command have already pledged their allegiance to m e. From now on, he will be one of your own too!"
Hamed was dumbfounded when Charlie said these words!
He had originally thought that Charlie was just here to help them reconcile, but he never would have dreamt that both Porter and Ten Thousand Armies would have already pledged their allegiance to Charlie.
So, he subconsciously asked, "Brother... is this really true? You're not joking with me, right?"
Just when he was still feeling incredulous and in
disbelief, Porter also spoke up, "Commander Hamed, M r. Wade is not joking with you. Ten Thousand Armies has really pledged its allegiance to Mr. Wade!"
Hamed was shocked, and he looked at Charlie as he muttered and asked, "B-Brother... How on earth did you manage to do that?!"
Charlie laughed and said, "We will talk about all these things later. When will Sayid be arriving?"
Hamed looked at the time and replied, "In about ten more minutes."
"Okay." Charlie nodded and said, "Let’s wait for him here, then."
Ten minutes later, another helicopter slowly landed in the middle of the valley.
Sayid, who was wearing a military uniform, jumped down from the helicopter in big strides. As soon as he saw Charlie, he approached him and greeted him warmly, "Hello, Mr. Wade! We finally meet again!"
