When the young man saw Hugo, he cautiously took out his cell phone from his pocket, opened a photo, and checked it thoroughly. After making sure that it was Hugo, he then realized that another Oskian man was accompanying him. So, the young man pointed at Charlie and asked warily, “Who is this person? Is he with you?”
Hugo said with a smile, “This young man is called Charlie Wade, and he is a compatriot whom I met on the plane. Our seats were next to each other. He is running away because he owes some money back in Oskia. He also does not know what to do in Mexico. He wanted to try it out when he heard that I came to work as a seaman. I just do not know if we are still recruiting people here.”
Charlie, who was aside, hurriedly said, “I can bear hardships, and I can handle all the hard and tiring work.”
The young man could not help but frown before he spoke up, “Wait a moment. I’ll call the leader and ask about it first.”
Having said that, he took out his cell phone and walked a long way away. After making sure that no one was around, he took out his cell phone and made a phone call.
As soon as the call was connected, a man’s voice sounded from the other end of the line and asked, “Did you get the person?”
“Yes.” The young man said respectfully, “The man named Hugo Lidston just got off the plane.”
The other party asked again, “Have you checked the identity and information? Does it match the information provided by Martha?”
The young man hurriedly said, “I’ve already checked, and it’s indeed him.”
“Okay.” The other party said lazily, “Since the person has already been received, hurry up and bring him over here. Pay attention on the way here and don’t let him find out anything.”
The young man lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Madron, I have to update you on a situation here. Hugo met with another young Oskian man who doesn’t have a regular job on the plane. They were seated next to each other, so he’s asking to be a seaman together with Hugo. He asked me if I’m still recruiting. How do you think this situation should be handled?”
