Chapter 3239
By the time they left Hamed's headquarters together, Hamed's adjutant had also brought Sheldon, who was tied up, out of the bunker. 2 Since there had been a war going on a few days ago, Hamed had been afraid that Sheldon would cause trouble or try to escape, and so, he had ordered his men to tie Sheldon up.
Furthermore, Sheldon had also been locked up in the dark bunker because of the war, and he had not seen the sunlight for several days. He looked extremely disheveled, pale, and there was no color on his complexion at all.
At this time, there was only the sunset outside, and Sheldon felt as if he was being reborn when he felt the golden rays falling upon him. 4
He could not see Charlie clearly under the stimulation of the light, but he felt extremely emotional as he faced the setting sun and felt the warmth of the sun shining upon his body.
In the past, Sheldon would never have dreamt that as the son of the extremely wealthy Schulz family, he would one day fall to the point where he would feel that it was a luxury to see the sun.
Before he could even enjoy the sun for a few seconds, the adjutant behind him urged, "Hurry up! Mr. Wade is waiting for you!"
Upon hearing the words 'Mr. Wade', Sheldon felt a trace of panic. After turning his head and after his eyes had adjusted to the light, he saw Charlie, who was smiling not too far away. 2
When he saw that Charlie had a smile on his face as he basked under the golden sunlight, Sheldon could not help but shudder as he thought to himself, 'This kid looks so dignified and even more harmless when he has a smile on his face, but who would have imagined that this kid would actually be able to do something a s f*cked up as this? He threw me to this godforsaken place and made me go through so many hardships and sufferings... This kid is already inferior to his father, Curtis Wade, just from this point alone. Back then, Curtis Wade was not even half as terrible as he
is
As he was thinking to himself, the adjutant had already brought Sheldon to Charlie. Charlie looked at Sheldon before he smiled and asked, "Mr. Schulz, how have you been feeling during this period of time?"
Sheldon had a sad and miserable look on his face as he said, "Charlie, please just let me go back... This place i s at war every day, and it is really unbearable... It would be much safer for me if you were to throw me 0 n Mount Golmin instead of being here..."
Charlie waved his hand. "You don't have to worry about that. Hamed is already prepared for an armistice with the government. When you come back here after the Tomb Sweeping Festival, there will not be any war going on here anymore."Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
When Sheldon heard this, he did not know whether he should be happy or sad. 2
Charlie looked at the time and spoke up, "Let's go, Mr. Schulz. It's already getting late in Oskia. We should set off as soon as possible so that we can arrive in Aurous Hill early in the morning tomorrow."
Sheldon hurriedly asked, "Can I meet up with Jaime and Sophie after going back to Aurous Hill?"
Charlie waved his hand. "Your son is
groveling all the way to Jordan
Temple to atone for both your father and your sins now. As for your daughter she has been busy with work recently, and she will not have the time to meet you. However, if you really miss your relatives, I can temporarily arrange for you to meet with your younger brother, and the both of you can have a gathering after you meet up, then."
When Sheldon heard this, he asked offhandedly, "My younger brother? You mean... Steven?!"
Steven had already gone missing for a long time. 2
Sheldon knew that Steven had to be in Charlie's hands, but he did not know where Charlie had hidden Steven.
When he heard Charlie saying that he could be reunited with his younger brother in Aurous Hill, he could not help but exclaim, "Steven, he... He has been in Aurous Hill all this while?!"
"Yes." Charlie said indifferently, "My friend owns a dog farm in Aurous Hill. In addition to rearing some fighting dogs, I keep some people there occasionally too."
Sheldon could not help but shrink his neck as he thought to himself, 'A dog farm where some people are kept there occasionally too?! Is this something that a human being should be saying?!'
'Not only that, you want me to go and meet up with Steven. Could it be that you want to throw me into the dog farm too?!'
'I've already suffered so much in this hellhole and am finally given this rare opportunity to make a trip back home. It would only be for a week, so can't you just allow me to eat and live better, then?'
However, although Sheldon had a lot of complaints in his heart, he did not dare to say anything. He knew very well that he had no say in front of Charlie at all.
So, he could only say resentfully, "I'll follow all of your arrangements, Mr. Wade..." s
