Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

After getting off the truck, they all went to register themselves before collecting their hats.

Eli followed the large group into the forest. The soldiers kept Sean and her in the middle, and Eli ran as fast as she could to keep up.

She was already panting after half an hour of running. Even after working out consistently for the past six months, her physical strength was no match for the soldiers.

Sean turned back to look at her before squatting in front of her, “Get on.”

Eli shook her head, “I’m too heavy.”

“Everyone but the Vanguard will take turns carrying the Commander. We can’t afford to waste time on our way to safety,” Sean said gruffly.

Eli didn’t dare refuse, especially after seeing how serious he was. She climbed onto Sean’s back, and the group ran at the same pace as before.

Sean carried her on his back and didn’t fall behind in the slightest.

Eli leaned against his back, warmth filling her heart. She had never thought someone as elegant as Sean would have such a soft side, and it gave her a new perspective on him.

Sean would take turns with the others to carry her every ten minutes.

However, they seemed to be always lagging behind Sean no matter whose turn it was.

“I’ve had a half-hour break. I could run the next half an hour on my own, Sean…” Eli accidentally called his name.

Sean turned to look at her with coldness in his eyes, “There are no names here, only code names, and I’m No. 4.”

“Okay,” Eli immediately became serious as well. Her emotions had changed in this intense situation. After all, those soldiers were carrying her on their backs and treating the training as though it was a real battle.

“No. 4, if we were to choose a path without losing our way, how long will it take us to get out of this forest at our current pace?” Eli asked.

“No. 1, answer the question,” Sean said as he tossed the question to his other team member. It seemed that he didn’t know.

“At our current pace, it will take 12 hours to get out of the forest if everything were to go smoothly without any enemies ambush or accidents happening on the way,” No. 1 replied.

Eli was speechless.

She glared at Sean. Who was the one that said the training would only take a few hours if things went well?

It would take at least half a day if everything went smoothly. He obviously lied to her.

She would never have come if she had known that it would take such a long time. She even tried to tamper her hat out of desperation…

Sean seemed to have seen through her, “I didn’t know.”

“Of course you didn’t. I’ve trusted you, Sean. Just you wait. I’m going to make you pay,” Eli warned him in a low voice.

Sean took her hand in his and ran forward.

Eli was visibly angry and she immediately pulled her hand out of Sean’s grasp.

A sharp glint flashed through Sean’s eyes as he said sternly, “Get down.”

Everyone got down to the ground hurriedly, and in a second, everyone had already found their respective hiding places.

Eli paused for a moment. She felt an urge to reveal their location to the other teams at the thought of the torturous long day ahead. Hence, she squatted to the ground slowly.

Sean knew exactly what she was thinking about, hence he pulled her hat down and put it over his head. He then threw his own hat over to Troy. The latter didn’t know what was happening, but he still eventually threw the hat back to Eli.

Eli remained in silence.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Sean was deliberately bullying her.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Once she was sure that everyone in the team was well camouflaged and that no one was looking her way, she opened her mouth and bit Sean’s shoulder.

Sean could feel pain shooting through his shoulder. He immediately turned around, pinned her down, and covered her mouth.

Eli bit his palm in retaliation. Sean let her go immediately, a few teeth mark visible on his palm. He looked at her helplessly.

Eli had always been a quick-tempered person, but her anger was quick to subside as well. She took his hand in hers and felt guilty when she saw the teeth marks on his palm.

She kissed his palm and blew on it gently to ease the pain. Sean smiled softly and stroked her face, effectively bringing the argument to an end.

A minute later, Eli could hear the sound of dead branches being stepped on rapidly and continuously.

The soldiers looked to Eli, as though they were asking her if they should fight the incoming threat or just let them pass by.

Fighting would only sap their strength and allow those behind them to surpass them.

However, if they let those people pass, the other teams would gain the upper hand, and they, who were behind, would be at a disadvantage instead.

Sean seemed hesitant as well. He raised his hand, ready to open fire.

Out of nowhere, Eli stood up and shouted, “Hey, wait a minute, guys.”

The members of Team A, who was rushing past them, jumped at her voice. They all turned to look at her.

Not only them, but even Eli’s group also looked at her in shock. Wouldn’t that effectively reveal their location to the other teams?

Eli took her hat off and cradled it in her arms. She then smiled and said, “Here’s the deal. Only five groups could get all five flags. We should consider forming an alliance so that we could make the top three. If you reject our proposal, then I’m here to tell you that we already have you all surrounded. As a sign of good faith, I’ll swap the President’s hat with your Commander’s. You’d better think fast because there’s another team about to overtake us.”

Sean was speechless.

He hadn’t expected Eli to propose an alliance without even discussing it with them.

However, now that he thought about it, an alliance might be the best way to go. They would have a higher chance of winning if they had more people with them.

Sean also stood up when he noticed the crewless surveillance planes flying over their heads.

Meanwhile, the members of Team A looked at each other without much thought, “Alright, let’s form an alliance.”

Eli removed the hat that was on Sean’s head and exchanged it with the one that the Commander of Team A was wearing.

Sean looked at Eli.

Eli smirked. The hat that was Sean was wearing was actually hers, while Sean’s hat was actually on Troy’s head.

It didn’t matter to her that she was sacrificing herself. After all, she wanted to end the training as soon as possible.

Sean kept mum and did not expose her actions. Troy was even less likely to reveal her intention. He was taking care of the President’s hat, so he had to be extra careful.

Team A brought their map over, “We’re heading to this place to set up a trap .”

Eli was surprised. She took the map over and exclaimed, “We had the same thought too! Let’s hurry and move.”

Gary did not know what to say.

Eli was the Commander, hence they all listened to her. However, she had way more drive than they did and they felt at ease being under her command even though she was rather lacking in stamina.

All of them charged forward immediately. Eli didn’t seem to have the energy to run anymore after twenty minutes and Sean immediately crouched down in front of her without a second thought.

Eli climbed onto Sean’s back with alacrity, and every ten minutes, Sean and the others would take turns carrying her. After running for another half an hour, she heard a loud sound all of a sudden, and everyone immediately prowled on the ground. Sean rolled with Eli to the back of a big tree.
