The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 2689

While Charlie and Zoey flew back on their nonstop flight to Aurous Hill, Hamid also hurried back to the valley encampment in northern Syria. At this time, his subordinates were talking about his sudden departure with the female hostage and a stranger no one recognized that followed Hamid out of the bunker.

This was a heavily guarded military stronghold, it was bizarre that an unknown person would inexplicably appear in the middle of their camp and then leave with Commander Hamid. Something like this had never happened before, and everyone was anxiously waiting to understand what had just happened.

Hamid’s deputy went to the cellar in person, wanting to find someone to ask what happened. However, Faisal and others loyal to Charlie, took advantage of the fact that the cellar had only a narrow entrance with a heavy iron gate. They set up defensive positions converging on the choke point and refused to allow anyone entry.

The deputy didn’t expect Faisal would betray them, and in his eagerness he wanted to blow the cellar up. However, when he thought about the seven remaining hostages who might still be exchanged for a ransom, he temporarily dismissed the idea.

He did understand that while the cellar was a strong defensive point, it was also a dead end. At some point Faisal would have to surrender, so he deployed an additional hundred troops to guard the exit with every weapon aimed at the door, and waited.
