Hamid didn’t have the time to take care of Zayne. He smiled and said to Oliver West, “Good people, I have made good black tea. Let’s come in and have a few cups!” People in the Middle East love to drink black tea. Generally, they boil a very large amount of tea into a very rich tea soup. And then paired with a lot of sugar and refreshments with a high sugar content. This is quite different from the Chinese method of preparing tea.
Seeing that Hamid was so hospitable, the newcomers couldn’t refuse.
So, Oliver West said, “Commander Hamid, please arrange for your subordinates to first take Mr. Banks to his place of residence.”
“Okay, no problem!” Hamid patted his chest and said, “Since my Brother Charlie ordered it, I let the people prepare the yard. The yard is next to my guard camp. Except for my guards, the rest are soldiers from the army. There are patrols and guards 24 hours a day. Let him try to run away!” He then smiled and said, “And I have already had the small courtyard cleaned up again, so the conditions are good.”
When Zayne heard this, he was a little relieved. Ever since he had boarded the plane, he had never once considered running away. Because it is impossible to escape. This kind of place where birds don’t shit, even if they are exhausted, he could never escape from. What’s more, the surrounding area is full of soldiers with live ammunition. If the opponent finds that a few bullets are coming, there is no chance that I will survive intact. Therefore, he could only force himself to adapt.
As for the future, Zayne could only hope that his daughter, Zara, could inherit the Banks family as soon as possible.
But he changed his mind and thought again. “The chances of Zara inheriting the Banks family are almost zero. Even setting aside my old man, who will never delegate power before he dies. Even if he were willing to delegate power, would my younger brothers and sisters ever be willing to allow Zara, a girl and a child at that, inherit the Banks family?” As he thought about it, he became afraid that this would be an unprecedented family dispute, and his heart became more and more desperate. He had no way of knowing how long his “Journey to Syria” would last either by year or by month.
