Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

None of them spoke, and all nine pairs of eyes were staring at her.

She thought that she wasn’t clear enough, so she explained, “Here are my thoughts. Once those people get the flags, they will definitely hand them over to Mr. Hadley. We will hide at the route which they will use to return. On one hand, we could steal their flags. On the other hand, we will be ways ahead of completing the mission compared to the next team. Nevertheless, I dare say that the other teams might have thought of this plan too. Therefore, we have to mark the advantageous positions on the map once we get it.

Our strength will surely be weakened if we split our team. However, we could also preserve our strength if we choose to ambush the other teams instead. Once we start, let’s not rush to steal their flags. We will lure them to use their guns, then pick up on what they have left. Not only will we be able to preserve our energy, but we could also exhaust the enemy’s strength.

I thought of splitting the team into four groups. The first group will consist of Mathew and Jack, who are relatively stronger, coupled with their good calculation skills. You two will need to get to the main intersections of the route as soon as possible and set up traps to prevent others from getting there. You must ensure that our team would be the only ones there.”

The main focus here is to restrain ourselves from using our weapons unless absolutely necessary and let the other teams fight among themselves.

The next team, Bernard and Victor, will be responsible for tapping into the plans and strategies of the other teams. Your job is also to ensure that the communication in our team runs smoothly.

“Every team will have walkie-talkies,” Sean reminded.

“Oh, then Bernard and Victor’s duties will be slightly more difficult. You must pay attention to every direction and get a detailed understanding of the other teams’ situations and plans. Then, you have to come up with a plan to annihilate them. Do not let them proceed. If you retrieved all five flags successfully, then, you must hand them over to Mr. Hadley as soon as possible,” Eli continued.

At this point, the soldiers all exchanged looks with each other.

Especially the sergeants.

They knew that a woman had suddenly appeared by the President’s side, and they had heard that she looked very ordinary. It was said that she had saved the foreign envoy fearlessly a while back, but it did not seem that she had any other special abilities.

However, in just a few minutes, they were all convinced by this woman’s true abilities.

Eli noticed that they did not speak, nor did they have any objections. It seemed that they had all agreed to her proposal. She then continued, “For the rest of the team, listen up. Choose a spot to set up some traps first and make sure that we have a secured territory with a radius of one kilometer. Gary, you excel in combat. Nick, you are good at designing. Darren, you are good at gathering information. Therefore, the three of you will be on the same team. Darren will collect intel from the other teams. Gary, try to lure the other teams closer to our territory and Nick will be responsible for taking fire if the situation requires.

Last but not least, me, Troy and Se-” She quickly corrected herself, “Mr. President, the three of us will be the runners and the backups. Also, before we move out, we have to come up with sign languages and symbols that only our team would understand. For example, symbols that indicate our team’s territory and the designated traps. What do you guys think?”

Sean took the lead to applaud.

He knew that Eli was clever, and he knew that more often than not, she was just too lazy to think things through. Her impulsiveness had always undermined her intelligence, and she would rarely think before taking action. He certainly did not expect her to come up with any plans and strategies when he appointed her to be the Commander. If there was anyone who said that she was not suitable to be his wife, then he wasn’t sure who else would be the perfect candidate then.

The others looked at Sean and applauded too.

Eli looked at Sean with gratitude.

Truth be told, she felt a little guilty. She did not arrange any tasks for herself. She only thought of assigning roles to the team members based on their strengths and weaknesses.

Fortunately, Sean supported her.

Suddenly, the horn rang through the hall.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sean’s eyes turned sharp. He said in a low voice, “It’s starting. Remember, do not reveal anything when you get the flags.”

He was looking at Eli when he said those words. Eli guessed that he was trying to tell her that she should be the one to collect the flags. The soldiers lined up on the field according to their teams and there were twenty-seven bags were placed messily on the table. Eli grabbed one randomly without putting much thought to it and carried it over her back.

The platoon leaders and corporals were the first to head out. They then got into their respective vehicles.

Eli lowered her voice and asked Sean, “Is everyone starting out at different locations?”

Sean nodded, “I think that everyone will have a different map. The map should be in your backpack. Once we get into the car, take the map out, and study it carefully. Since we are divided into four groups, you’d better make four copies.”

“Okay,” Eli was clueless. Could she say that she did not know how to read a map?

The ten of them got into the small pickup truck soon after. Eli opened her backpack and there was a flag in it. There were twelve pieces of chocolate, twelve pieces of bread, ten bottles of mineral water, a map, a pen, and a notebook.

She took out the map first and looked at it. As expected, she could not understand anything on it, so she took her notebook and pen out of her bag and asked her team members to copy and study the map thoroughly.

She distributed the bread, water, and chocolate evenly to everyone so that everyone had a set. However, she realized that there were two extra sets of bread and chocolate.

“Why isn’t it distributed evenly?” Eli asked Sean.

“Think about it yourself,” Sean replied.

Eli blinked. He said that he would teach her all sorts of survival skills during the training. How was this considered teaching?

She thought about the possibility of her team members gossiping about her if she were to take the extra sets for herself. They would think that it was a special privilege solely for the President.

“Did they give you more on purpose?” Eli asked Sean in a low voice.

“No,” Sean replied.

When Eli noticed that her team members were having another heated discussion, she thought for a moment and said, “One more thing…”

When she spoke this time, everyone looked at her, waiting to hear her opinion.

She was about to say that they should split the chocolate and bread equally. However, after considering how eager everyone was, she felt that it would be a bad idea.

“I still have two pieces of chocolate and two pieces of bread. I think that it will be useful for the trap-setters. I will give it to Gary’s team as well as Mathew’s team. Use it wisely,” Eli gave herself a pat on the back mentally. She had solved the problem of dividing the uneven rations and even suggested the best way to utilize it.

Sean smiled as he looked at her.

She looked at Sean and returned a smile. It seemed that she had made the right move.

She allocated the chocolates and the bread.

“Commander, have a look at this map. It is very strange,” Mathew said as he handed the map to Eli to have a look.

Eli did not know what to say.

She did not understand the map at all.

Sean took the map over and explained to Eli, “There are three roads leading to Mr. Hadley on this map. It also indicated where the minefields are. If all goes well, we should be able to avoid those mines.”

Sean pointed accordingly to Eli so that she could roughly understand the symbols on the map.

“If there are three paths leading to Mr. Hadley, then, we may be lacking in manpower,” Matthew was worried, so he asked her another question.
