Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Do you think that your information is accurate?” Sean asked him.

“Mr. President. this compilation was made after thorough self-introduction by each member of the team,” No. 189 reported with certainty.

Sean did not question him further. He would find out in the training later if the information were all accurate.

“Forget about your previous numbers during this training. I will assign new numbers for all of you. No. 1, Gary Yaleman, No. 2, Nick Zachary, No. 3, Darren Wheeler, No. 4, Sean Yaleman, No. 5, Troy Hiller, No. 6, Eli Wayne, No. 7, Mathew Cher, No. 8, Jack Weil, No. 9, Bernard Wood, No. 10, Victor Hunter. Are we clear?” Sean ordered.

They all answered in unison, “Yes, Mr. President!”

Eli shouted along with them. She was in high spirits, as though she was a real soldier. She was thrilled at the thought of being able to brag about this for the rest of her life. Perhaps, she could even tell this story to her son in the future. She could not help but smile, and her eyes were sparkling.

Sean glanced at her from the corner of his eye and sighed helplessly. He did not know what she was thinking.

“Is there anyone here who wants to volunteer to be the Commander?” Sean’s voice softened, obviously distracted by her.

Apart from Eli, everyone else in the team looked at Sean in confusion. They did not know what Sean was thinking about.

“No. 7, Mathew. I volunteer to be the Commander.”

When everyone saw that Mathew had taken the initiative to volunteer, they all followed suit, except for Eli.

Eli only thought of herself as an extra in the team, so she did not say anything. Since Sean had already asked her to follow him closely, he would certainly not let the others separate her from him, right? Perhaps Sean was just only asking the question casually. After all, no one would dare to order the President around, right?

Sean looked at Eli coldly, “What about you?”

Eli paused and looked at his firm and sharp eyes.

If she did not volunteer herself, would that be a blow to Sean’s team morale? She had already promised herself not to drag them down.

She braced herself and said in high spirits, “No. 6, Eli. I volunteer too.”

After all, Sean would never let her be the Commander unless he had a death wish.

“Alright, you will become the Commander then. When in battle, we will all listen to the Commander’s orders, including myself,” Sean said firmly.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Eli stared at him.

She thought that her ears were deceiving her.

Did he happen to hit his head somewhere? How could he let her become the Commander? He must be out of his mind.

“We will emerge victorious!” A member of the team bellowed all of a sudden.

“We will definitely win!” The team members were filled with confidence. After all, they were in the same team as the President. It was only a given that they would give their all. Otherwise, they would end up embarrassing the President. Their pressure was much greater than the others. But of course, their morale was much higher too.

Eli looked at the hot-blooded soldiers. If she rejected the role at this point… would they despise her instead?

She looked at Sean and frowned.

However, Sean did not even spare a glance at her.

Eli couldn’t believe that she had even entertained the idea of her having fallen in love with him earlier that morning. How could she possibly fall in love with such a person? He probably would piss her off before she would even think of harboring feelings towards him.

Eli raised both her hands and gestured for everyone to quiet down, “What are your plans? Do you have any ideas?”

“Commander, I think that we should have a swift tactic. Since there are 27 teams in total, so only five teams will get the flags. The slower we proceed, the more we will be at a disadvantage. The best way is to end the battle quickly,” No. 7, Mathew said.

“I disagree. I believe that everyone will be having the same idea. The problem is, the more we rush, the more vulnerable we will become. We will be more prone to getting wiped out at the beginning of the battle. Even though only five teams will prevail, we still need to ensure that we will have no casualties, only then will we have a chance to complete the mission,” No. 1, Gary said.

“If we take it slow, we could guarantee that there will be no casualties, but the offense is still the best defense,” Mathew argued.

“I think that only a reckless person would choose to end it quickly. Only by advancing steadily would we feel more at ease,” Gary retorted.

“If we move too slowly, we will lose the flags before we know it. I am not being reckless, I am merely more engaged. If you still think that I am reckless, then you are the weak one among us.”

“The Invisibles are not weak. We are the ones who complete the dangerous missions of the nation, aren’t we?”

“Are you insinuating that it is not dangerous to protect the President on a daily basis? You shouldn’t forget the fact that the soldiers here, like the Sergeant, were all selected from the elites.”

Eli was speechless.

She realized that the argument between Mathew and Gary was getting intense. She could also clearly feel the division between the two groups, and the rest of the team soon joined in the discussion one after another.

She thought that she really was unlucky. Her team not only had a handicap but they were already starting to fight against each other before the battle even began. It would be a miracle if they emerged victorious at the end.

She looked at Sean, who was still calm and composed. His gaze fell on her and it seemed that he had no intention to speak.

Eli said helplessly, “Hey, everyone, calm down.”

Her voice was too soft, so they did not hear her as they continued to quarrel.

“Hey, everyone, be quiet,” She raised her voice a little.

They still refused to listen to her.

“Hey!” Even though she had raised her voice to the fullest, they still refused to stop. Her throat was starting to hurt from all the yelling.

She stood up and smashed the chair on the table. With a loud bang, the conference room quieted down in an instant.

A smirk crept across Sean’s lips.

“What’s wrong with all of you? Your faces are already all red from all the arguing. Will that solve our problem?

It seems like all of you are just donkeys, each with their own reasoning, yet none of you have any real motive.

No. 7, the feeling I get from you is that you like to charge forward and engage in battle. But, you do not have any real strategies or methods.

No. 1, it seems to me that you value stability, but you lack heroic spirit.

We don’t need ambitious men or disrespectful men here. We need a solid plan. Where is the best solution to our problems?” Eli scolded all of them. She did not pick sides.

After all, she was on Sean’s side. Although they did not know her skill sets or abilities, none of them went against her words.

“We will listen to the Commander,” No. 1 finally said.

Eli looked over to Sean.

“You are the Commander here. As I had said before, I will listen to the Commander too,” Sean said.

Eli knew that Sean would not help her.

After all, he was the one who put her in that spot. It would be none of her business if they lost, and it would not be her fault even if they were to come up last.

“Here’s my plan, since Aldred…” Eli paused. She realized that she should not refer to his first name as Sean would. She continued, “As Mr. Hadley has said earlier, we will only win if we hand over the flag to him. So, I think that we should observe the terrain and find the route that everyone will take. Then, we will leave behind a sniper, an intelligence officer, a combat master, and a runner.”

Everyone was shocked at Eli’s proposal. Even Sean was very surprised that she had said such things. She had a clear and thorough plan, and her strategy was not too bad too.
