Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

Eli looked at the map, and then at Mathew’s worried face.

“This is normal. They are making things more intense and interesting by providing more routes. Remember, don’t bite more than you can chew. We just need to guard one intersection.

This will depend on your luck. Once you clear a path, it would at least bring an advantage to the rest of our team. Don’t forget, you have four members with you, and there are six more on the team. Besides, this is a game of strength. There won’t be any glory if we were to win too easily, right?

Also, the minefields, as well as the three routes to Mr. Hadley, are clearly marked on the map. I think that everything is by chance, which is to say that their maps must have clear indications of the minefields too. In that case, we could narrow the area to set up traps,” Eli said.

Her team members thought that her words were reasonable, and they were filled with confidence once again.

Could she say that she was just speaking glibly? She could not even read a map. She was only good at giving empty speeches.

“Where should we set up the traps then?” Gary asked.

Shoot, why did they keep asking her hard questions?!

How would she know? Forget it, it was just training anyway. She would blame it on Sean if they lost in the end.

She pointed at the middle of the map casually.

Gary immediately drew a circle at the very spot that she had pointed at.

Eli was thoroughly speechless.

“Let me remind you again, we are looking out for the central area. However, that may not be the case for the other teams. Their objectives might be located near this place. So, do be careful,” Eli said.

“Understood,” The soldiers said in unison.

Eli looked at Mathew, who was looking at her intently, seemingly waiting for instructions. She pointed at one of the paths and asked, “You should head over to this spot.”

“Why?” Mathew did not understand, “This place is close to the minefields. Not many people will be coming here.”

That was what she thought too. Since there would not be many people going to that very spot, the chances of them failing would be low. However, she could not reveal these thoughts.

“Not necessarily. I think that many people will have the same thought too, so they would go in the opposite direction instead. There should be a road without any landmines in front of the minefields. Moreover, generally speaking, the middle path is the path that most people would take,” Eli said with a smile.

Apart from Sean, everyone seemed to think that it made sense.

Sean did not say anything. Training was not his purpose here.

“Okay. That’s decided then,” Mathew agreed with Eli.

“Oh yes, one more thing. The traps that you’ll be setting up would not harm our fellow soldiers, right?” Eli asked worriedly.

Her team members remained silent and looked at her in confusion.

“This is the first time that I’ve participated in this kind of training,” Eli said with an embarrassed smile.

“The hats that we are wearing right now have electronic sensors on them. When the hats are hit by infrared sensors, they will emit smoke. Once the smoke is released, that means that we are ‘dead’. We are considered eliminated from the training and we will leave the training ground earlier than usual,” Gary explained.

“Oh, so we could leave once the hat emits smoke?” Eli’s eyes shone brightly. If she grew tired of training, she could just make her hat release its smoke. It was that easy.

“What about close combat then?” Eli continued to ask.

“Don’t you have this?” Gary took out an item that looked like a pen from his pouch and clicked it. It was an infrared dagger. “This is the only thing that we can use when we are engaging in close combat.”

“Oh, oh, yes. I have one in my bag. I didn’t know what it was,” Eli wanted to open her pouch, but she remembered that there was a gun in it. It would be terrible if her ignorance was exposed. Hence, she changed the subject and pulled out the real dagger on her leg, “What about the real one?”

“That is to be used against wild beasts or snakes. We also need it to make traps and defend ourselves against danger,” Gary explained calmly.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“So, what would happen if I had accidentally set the smoke from the hat off by myself?” Eli asked tentatively.

Sean was at a loss for words.

“It has an electric sensor installed in it. Therefore, whenever someone is ‘killed’, the ‘killer’ and the ‘deceased’ will be shown in the command center,” Gary looked at Eli with a perplexed face.

“What if the hat is broken then?” Eli scratched her head.

“They have all been sent for quality-checking. If the sensor malfunctions, they would just replace the hat with a new one,” Gary continued.

“Commander, what were you doing before this?” Mathew asked doubtfully.

“I was a doctor in the military base,” Eli explained. She had deliberately said something that was related to the military so that she would not seem that out of place.

“Have you never participated in training sessions before?” Troy asked in surprise.

“I have only engaged in real combat. Sorry,” Eli said with a smile.

Sean pursed his lips and suppressed his laughter.

In fact, what she said was true. Indeed, she had only participated in real combat, such as delivering babies and wrapping an injured’s wounds.

However, her team members were awed and they all thought that she was superior to them.

“Commander, you must have experienced plenty of life and death experiences then?” Troy asked curiously.

Life?

She used to deliver new babies every day.

“A lot, almost every day. But that was five years ago,” Eli said with a smile.

Sean held back his laughter. He was trying to suppress himself so hard that his shoulders were trembling. He turned away and looked outside the window so that no one would notice.

“Could you tell us more?” Bernard asked with great admiration.

“What do you mean? Do you want me to talk about the bloodshed or the warmth? Those were memories from a distant time. I don’t want to recall them,” Eli said.

“Then, Commander, did you participate in wars as well? As in real wars, where people die from bombs every day?” Troy asked again.

Eli looked at Troy’s tanned face. His eyes were sparkling.

She cleared her throat and explained, “The doctors watch from the side. It’s not that dangerous.”

Sean looked at Eli. Sure enough, the doctors would usually watch the battles from the sidelines, so it was indeed not that dangerous. However, she had never even stepped into a battlefield before. Well, she did admit that she had never been to a battlefield.

Eli glared at Sean.

It was all his fault. Now all the attention was on her.

She rolled her eyes and narrowed them, a small smirk gracing her lips.

Sean knew that something bad was going to happen when he saw that smile.

“Please tell us your story, Mr. President. We all want to hear from you too. After all, you are still so young. How did you become so outstanding at such a young age?” Eli asked.

All the soldiers were distracted, and their attention was immediately diverted to Sean. “Yes, please tell us more, Mr. President,” Troy said happily.

He had fought by the President’s side before, and he had also heard plenty of the President’s stories too. At this moment, Troy became extremely excited.

“What about?” Sean revealed a meaningful and calm smile.

All of a sudden, a bad feeling welled up inside Eli.

He… He wouldn’t tell them the stories that are related to her, would he?

There was definitely a possibility of him doing just that. His smug smile, and that glint in his eye… Moreover, he had always been such a petty person…
