Chapter 600 He Was The King Of Kings
Eli felt that Sean was a little too close to her, so she pushed him away gently and changed the topic, “Are we there yet? It feels like it’s taking us forever.”
“We’ll reach the port soon.”
“The port?” Eli turned to him in shock and asked, “Do we have to take a boat to reach that place?”
“Yes, it’s on an isolated island.”
“F*ck. Why does everyone like the islands? They are far away from civilization and the roads are so dangerous,” Eli complained.
“There are several reasons why the training ground is on a deserted island. Firstly, it’s far away from the public, so we need not worry about the citizens’ safety, and secondly, it’s easier to run our tests and training if the parameters are set and locked in. Lastly, the fight on a real combat battleground would be far tougher than the one they have on the island. Hence, we would need to train their decision-making skills, strategies planning, processing capability, and how they react under pressure,” Sean explained to Eli.
“They sounded really amazing,” Eli said as she smiled in awe.
She had fantasized about marrying a soldier for a long time. She might have already become the bride of an army man hadn’t it for Sean.
Sean stared at her and tickled her nose, “Aren’t you proud of your future husband? Shouldn’t you be looking up to me since I’m their leader and that I am much more capable than them?”
“Look up… to you? Alright, yes, I really do. Now, could you please let go of me? I could barely breathe,” Eli said as she pushed him away and patted his palm.
Sean hugged her even closer and pecked her cheek.
Eli turned away in disgust. She pushed his head away and said, “Sean, you’re being too clingy.”
“Don’t you like it?” Sean asked.
“No,” she replied firmly.
“Alright then,” Sean let go of her, went back to his seat, and closed his eyes.
Eli realized that Sean’s behavior was rather odd. When had he ever listened to her?
She leaned forward and peeked at him. Then, she put her hand on his forehead and asked, “Are you alright?”
Sean smiled and held her hand. He squeezed it and said, “You’re really asking for it, aren’t you?”
Her heart fluttered at his words.
Eli felt a little embarrassed and she immediately covered Sean’s lips, “Stop spouting nonsense.”
Sean beamed as he pulled her towards his chest. He stared at her dotingly.
Eli couldn’t seem to think straight. At that moment, she felt as though she had been attracted by Sean’s charm. She leaned in and kissed him on the forehead.
Sean’s heart fluttered and he wanted more than just a kiss. He grabbed Eli’s head, pulled her closer, and kissed her on the lips.
Eli felt something swirling around her lips. It was his tongue. He lowered his head and kissed her softly, with a swift gradation of intensity that made her cling to him.
He must have kissed plenty of women to attain such skills.
She was frustrated with herself. She couldn’t believe that a kiss from Sean could make her all anxious.
Eli pushed him away and looked out the window.
Sean was confused. There was a tinge of blush on his face, and his heart was racing. He straightened himself up on the seat and asked, “What happened?”
“Uhm… Nothing.”
He could sense that Eli had gone cold turkey. Worried, he asked, “Did I hurt you just now? Would you prefer to…”
A strange feeling overwhelmed Eli’s heart. “No, you didn’t. It’s just that we are still in a car and Mr. Cher is with us too.”
Eli pointed at Colonel Cher.
Colonel Cher was shocked that Eli had suddenly put the blame on him.
He had already been through so much during his life.
Long ago, Colonel Cher had thought that the President was a noble and upright man. He was feared by many men and he could get rid of his opponents at the snap of his fingers.
However, he seemed to have completely changed ever since he met Eli. Ever since then, Colonel Cher realized that the President was just another hot-blooded man.
He would hide his desires away so perfectly and only reveal his true and romantic self in front of Eli.
Colonel Cher guessed that he was the only one who had seen such a side to the President. What great honor was that!
“I can’t see anything because I am driving,” Colonel Cher said with a smile.
Eli pursed her lips.
It seemed that she had just worsened the situation.
“I’m sure that he has seen everything,” she turned to Sean and whispered.
“So what if he did?” Sean chuckled and replied.
“D*mn!” Eli rolled her eyes at him.
“Are you cursing me or him?”
“You.”
Sean kissed her again, but Eli pushed him away once more.
“Well, since you’re already cursing me, what else is there to lose?” Sean looked at her and smirked. After that, he held her chin and went forward to kiss her.
Eli dodged his attempt at kissing her again.
She was curious about Sean’s sudden change in behavior. It seemed to her that he had become much clingier than he was before, and perhaps even more so than their little son.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at their destination. She pointed towards the port, “Look, we’re here!”
“Okay,” Sean leaned his face closer towards her and looked outside of the window.
“How long more before we reach the deserted island?” Eli asked him.
“Another five more hours or so.”
Eli was at a loss for words.
She chided herself for wanting to come to this God-forsaken place. She should have just requested the reports and profiles of the men from Sean.
Eli leaned on the window and mumbled under her breath, “It’ll be midnight by the time we reach the island.”
Sean smiled, “I don’t think I’d ever seen anyone who is lazier than you are.”
“I believe they are, and I believe there are many of them in this world.”
“I doubt so. Anyway, put on your winter jacket with your scarf and beanie. It’s freezing outside,” Sean reminded her.
The car had stopped moving. She ignored Sean and immediately bundled herself up.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
One of the guards then opened the door.
Eli got out of the car and enjoyed the cold winter breeze. She shivered as the breeze blew against her despite her many layers of clothing.
She shivered and stood at the side as she waited for Sean.
At this moment, Sean stepped out of the car.
He wore a long black windbreaker, a white scarf, and a pair of black leather gloves. Beneath his coat was a formal suit.
The surrounding atmosphere instantaneously changed as soon as he got down from the car.
Eli sensed the nervous tension from the soldiers as they all stood in their armed positions.
Sean walked on the red carpet as the soldiers led him down the road.
Both sides of the red carpet were guarded with armed soldiers, who were dressed in green military uniforms. Each and every one of them stood still as they held their heads up high.
Sean exuded dominance as he walked on the carpet. It seemed as though he was a completely different person from when he was in the car just a minute ago.
Eli immediately followed behind him.
She was supposed to act as Sean’s assistant.
Sean stepped onto the ship and turned to look at Eli, who had jumped onto the ship and tucked in her clothes. She glanced at him in confusion.
Was she not supposed to jump?
Sean felt a sudden urge to hug Eli when he noticed the confused and innocent expression on her face.
However, as much as he wanted to, he had no choice but to resist the urge as he held on to his fierce and intimidating look.
