C2025 Now and then they would take the hostage
It wasn't too late, but there were no customers in the coffee shop. The war was destroying everything in the country. Who would be in the mood to drink coffee in an environment where shells could fly at any time? What's more, even water had become extremely precious, let alone coffee?
Xia Lei not only ordered a few pots of coffee, he also ordered a lot of pastries. He knew that girls loved to eat snacks, but this was not to curry favor with them. It was purely because he wanted to entertain them.
A dozen or so girls were drinking coffee and eating snacks, and their nervousness was swept away.
Yusna stuffed a rose cake into her mouth, seemingly choking on it. Following that, she picked up a cup of coffee and poured another into her mouth.
Xia Lei laughed and said: "Eat slowly, don't choke on it."
Yusna's face slightly blushed, "I ? It's been a long time since I've had a rose cake. "
Actually, it wasn't just her. The other girls were in the same situation as her, eating in a hurry or even in a sorry state.
"We don't have enough food here, let alone such delicious pastries." Yusna said, she looked a little sad, "Some people can do anything for food, I think we can ? We are not far from a day. The war is destroying us. "
Xia Lei said: "Don't worry, and don't be sad. I've come, I'll help you. " He extended a hand towards Yusna, "My name is Xia Rebirth, I hope we can become friends."
Yusna hesitated, but in the end, she still shook hands with Xia Lei, "My name is Yusna." Then she quickly retracted her hand. Women were forbidden to shake hands with men in the Arab world, especially in public places like coffee shops.
It wasn't that Xia Lei didn't know of the customs here, he wanted to test Yusna and the girls' courage. If they did not even have the courage to break through the mundane world, would they still have the courage to go to the battlefield where artillery shells flew all over the place to help those who were suffering?
Xia Lei once again extended his hand towards a girl with wheat colored skin and a "mature" figure. "It's a pleasure to meet you, can you tell me your name?"
The girl with the very healthy wheat colored skin lightly touched Xia Lei's hand for a moment and then retracted it, and said softly, "Zaiya."
Xia Lei shook hands with them one by one and got to know them. Perhaps because he looked like a child, no girl refused to shake hands with him and told him his name.
"Mr. Xia, where did you learn Arabic? So fluent. Listening to you speak Arabic, even I suspect that you grew up on this land. " Yusna said: "I was very curious about this when we were at the plaza, I didn't dare to ask you."
Xia Lei laughed and said, "I know dozens of languages." Then he said the same thing in French, Italian, Russian, even Pashto.
The girls gaped.
They were both university students, and could only learn two foreign languages at most. This sixteen or seventeen year old boy in front of them could speak quite a few languages in a row. Furthermore, he said that he knew dozens of languages, so they couldn't help but think about it. Even if he was born with a foreign language, he wouldn't be able to master dozens of languages, right?
Amongst this group of Syrian girls, there was no lack of studying tyrants, and Yusna was one of them. However, in front of this young man who came from the Grand China, she also felt that her intelligence had been squashed to the point of being inferior.
"Friends, join my charity. Come with me to help those who need help." Xia Lei introduced them to the main topic at hand.
"Mr. Xia, you... Is there really a billion dollars? " The "mature" Zaiya stared straight at Xia Lei with his wheat colored skin and a hint of doubt in his eyes.
The girls were all doubtful. How could a sixteen or seventeen year old boy have a billion dollars?
Furthermore, that was the one billion dollars he planned to donate. Someone who could donate one billion dollars should have at least tens of billions of dollars in assets, right?
A child of sixteen or seventeen, was it possible?
Xia Lei smiled, "I can't prove it with that much cash, but I ask you to believe me, I am not a liar, I really want to help you."
The girls looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Du du du, du du...
Xia Lei's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone and looked at it, then answered the call, "I'm Xia Rebirth, may I ask who you are?"
A man's voice came out of the phone, also in Arabic, "Hello, Mr. Xia. I'm the national television news program host, my name is Zayad. I got your email and I was very excited. Thank you for your support, I can't wait to interview you. "Excuse me, when will it be convenient for you?"
Xia Lei said: "I can do it now."
"Now? Are you sure? " There was a note of surprise in his voice.
"I'm sure. My time is a bit tight. I won't stay here for long, so I'll do it tonight." Xia Lei said.
"Okay, I'll prepare a bit and then come over. See you later, Mr. Xia. " Sayid hung up.
Xia Lei kept his phone, smiled and said: "In a while, your National Television Station's Mr. Sayid will be interviewing me here, this might help you to believe me."
"Huh?" The girls were startled again.
Suddenly, a clamor came from outside the coffee shop. In the blink of an eye, a large group of fully armed soldiers appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop. Leading them was a middle-aged officer. There was also a man in casual clothes, who appeared to be in his fifties. He was also well-dressed and wore a valuable watch.
Yusna suddenly became nervous, "Mr. Xia, let's go!"
Zaiya was very nervous as well. "That's EHam's father and his brother-in-law. They must have brought someone with them to capture you, go quickly!"
Because she was anxious, she even reached out to Xia Lei and gave him a push.
However, Xia Lei didn't react at all. He only calmly looked at EHam's father and brother-in-law who were walking over, as well as at least a hundred fully armed Syrian soldiers that followed behind the two of them.
Actually, even without Yusna and Zaiya's reminder, Xia Lei already knew who was coming here. He wasn't surprised that Ehan's family would come to this place so quickly.
"That's him!" A Syrian youth squeezed through a group of soldiers to the very front and pointed at Xia Lei. "It's him, that Eastern kid! It was he who hit Ehmoud! "
Xia Lei's gaze moved towards the Syrian youth who was pointing at him. There was a moist mark on that kid's crotch. It was obvious that it was the guy who had beaten him up the most, but was scared to the point that he peed his pants.
"Aren't you very good at fighting? Let's see if you can still be so arrogant! " The Syrian youth's eyes were filled with a venomous light, while his face was also filled with a cold and fierce sneer.
Xia Lei suddenly walked towards him.
"Halt!" Emanuel's brother-in-law shouted in anger, "Kneel!"
Xia Lei did not even stop in his tracks.
An officer suddenly rushed forward and used the butt of his AK-47 to smash towards Xia Lei.
Xia Lei reached out his hand, unloaded his spear in a second, and then lightly snapped it. With a "kacha" sound, an AK47 was broken into two.
The atmosphere in the hotel coffee shop suddenly froze.
Xia Lei suddenly thrusted the broken half of the spear in his hand towards the Syrian youth who was pointing at him.
Pfft!
The broken spear shot through his chest and through his back.
Blood splattered.
The Syrian youth who pointed at Xia Lei looked at the broken spear on his chest in horror. He could not believe that Xia Lei would dare to attack him in this kind of environment, yet the broken spear used such a bloody method to remind him that it was real.
"Ah ?" The Syrian youth let out a weak hiss and fell down.
Xia Lei looked at the Syrian youth who was bleeding profusely on the ground with an expressionless face, and said indifferently: "Opportunities do not always exist. If a person like you can live and hurt more people, then die. "
Bang!
A warrior suddenly shot a shot at Xia Lei.
The warrior was standing behind the Syrian youth, perhaps pulling the trigger in nervousness. At such a close distance, Xia Lei didn't even have the chance to dodge.
Everyone thought that Xia Lei would be shot to the ground.2
Although Grand China's martial arts were mysterious, it was still impossible for his to avoid the bullet, right?
However, Xia Lei moved a step forward like a ghost, the bullet grazed past his body and struck a vase.
Crash! *
The vase was broken, and a bouquet of stallion roses in it fell to the floor.
More guns were raised as they tried to catch Xia Lei's figure.
Xia Lei suddenly stopped, his right hand had already grabbed Ehamd's father's neck.
Ahab's father's face and neck instantly turned purple, a sign of lack of oxygen.
"Tell them to put down their guns." Xia Lei said with a voice as cold as a blade.
"You'd better know what you're doing!" Emanuel's brother-in-law bellowed, "You will die!"
Xia Lei said: "Didn't you guys come to kill me? Why do you need to give me a hope that I can live on? Tell your men to put down their guns, or I'll break your father-in-law's neck. "
"Bastard!" EHam's brother-in-law's anger had already reached its peak. He had never been humiliated like this before!
Xia Lei suddenly raised his left hand that was grabbing onto Eamhard's father's neck. Emanuel's father's feet immediately left the ground, and struggled as if his life depended on it.
"Put down the spear!" Ahab's brother-in-law finally gave the order.
Only then did Xia Lei put Ehamd's father down.
Just now, Xia Lei could have stopped the bullet, and he didn't need to avoid capturing Emanuel's father as a hostage. The reason for this was not complicated, he just didn't want to show off too much and scare these girls. He also thought further, that he was here to help the people who were suffering here, not to punish the corrupt officials, which was not something an outsider like him should do. Thus, under such circumstances, he couldn't possibly kill all of these people, right?
"Get your people to leave for the time being." Xia Lei said.
"Don't go too far!" EHam's brother-in-law suppressed his anger, but he couldn't help it.
Xia Lei raised his left hand once again.
"All of you, get out!" Ahab's brother-in-law roared.
All the soldiers left the coffee shop, but they didn't go far. They waited at the entrance of the coffee shop, ready to rush in and take care of that arrogant Dongfang kid.
"Good. Let's go on drinking coffee." Xia Lei said with a smile.
The girls looked at him as if they were looking at a monster, and their legs were shaking so much that they couldn't stand still.
