Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

She noticed a cloud of red smoke rising from the top of a man’s head. He threw his hands up and slumped to the ground.

“Were we ambushed?” Eli asked.

“Someone’s faster than us.”

“Was the person who had just gotten eliminated the one who was wearing my hat?” Eli asked hurriedly.

Sean looked at her and said helplessly, “It’s not. Keep an eye on the tree at your 9 o’clock. No. 3 has identified the locations of the three men and he is ready to order the snipers to open fire.”

Eli gave an OK gesture to No. 3, who was perched on the tree.

No. 3 then signaled the same to the sniper.

Eli only heard seven thumps coming from afar. She didn’t know what was going on. All she saw was red and yellow smoke coming from all around her.

“What’s the deal? Am I dead yet?” Eli asked in disbelief.

Sean looked at Eli helplessly and stifled a sigh, “You won’t get a reward if you die. Not even one.”

Eli thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you name the rewards so that I could give a quick analysis on them?”

“It’s the thing that you want most,” A sharp glint flashed past Sean’s eyes, “Let’s go.”

He dragged her to move forward. Whenever she heard a thud coming her way, she would drop to the ground, not daring to speak again.

As time went by, the surroundings became so quiet and calm that she could hear the insects chirping. However, Eli knew that there were at least two dozen men hiding around the area.

Those who had been eliminated were all still lying on the ground. Eli looked at them in confusion,

“Why aren’t they leaving when they are already eliminated?” Eli mouthed the words inaudibly.

“It’s the rules,” Sean replied simply.

Eli stopped talking after that. She could feel her legs getting sore after lying on her back for another ten minutes without moving at all. She had no choice but to look at Sean.

Sean pursed his lips and remained quiet, his eyes scanning the area.

He couldn’t tell where the enemies were hiding as well.

The enemies were really good at hiding, but she was not. Moreover, she was not wearing her own hat. Hence, even if she chose to reveal her whereabouts right now, she wouldn’t be the one who would get eliminated, and the one who did would probably be extremely furious.

She sighed. She was definitely at a disadvantage if they were to continue hiding any longer. The longer they stayed there, the more restless she became. After all, the sky would get darker in the forest compared to when they were outside.

She felt for the knife that was secured on her thigh and threw it towards the tree.

Everyone turned to look at the sudden movement.

“Look at your 6 o’clock,” Sean lowered his voice.

She didn’t even look before making an OK gesture.

They could hear gunshots immediately after, and clouds of smoke rose to the sky.

“Am I dead yet?” Eli asked in a daze.

“No,” Sean replied, “Tell your team to stay down. There’s a new team coming over.”

“Holy sh*t, so many people have been eliminated even before the traps have been set up. It’s so hard to take five when so many people had to die just to get a single flag,” Eli grumbled as she gestured for her team members to stay put.

Everyone lay still on the ground and did not move.

Eli was started to get a little anxious. She wondered if she should take a nap instead. Perhaps everything would be solved by then.

She buried her face on the ground, closed her eyes, and fell asleep. Her eyes immediately shot wide open when she heard gunshots coming from afar. Not long after, she could see smoke billowing from the top of the enemies’ heads. She asked, “Am I dead yet?”

“Nope,” Sean frowned, “Stay here and don’t move.”

“Okay,” Eli buried her face to the ground once again, “Why am I not dead yet?”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She waited for another ten minutes and her feet gradually grew numb. The fight once again fell to a standstill. No one made a sound, and no one seemed to have the intention to break the deadlock. Moreover, she had already thrown her dagger out Sean was nowhere to be found. Did he say that she had to stay close to him at all times?

She had to keep up with his pace.

All of a sudden, she heard another two gunshots.

Eli turned around and reflexively and noticed clouds of smoke coming from the two men’s heads. Their eyes were fixed on her.

She knew that her location had been exposed, hence she rolled a few times instinctively and tried to slip away. However, she was pinned to the ground before she could even see who the culprit was. Eli was sure that she was done for.

However, that person didn’t seem on planning to eliminate her. Eli raised her head and realized that it was Sean.

He crouched down beside her and pointed at the thorny bushes not far away.

Eli saw the thorns on the bushes and immediately shook her head.

Sean was helpless and he pressed his lips against hers.

Eli’s heart was beating so fast that it was felt as though it was about to explode.

His reputation would be ruined if his soldiers were to see them like that. After all, he was still a married man. Was he courting death?

She didn’t dare to move, afraid that they would be discovered.

Sean continued kissing her without holding back at all. She was ashamed, angry, and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. The kiss lasted for three minutes. He then pulled away and pointed at the thorny bushes again. Eli had no choice but to nod.

Sean smiled slightly and mouthed inaudibly, “Meet me there.”

He rushed to the bushes, taking away the attention of the enemies from her.

Sean was fast, and he ran and jumped in irregular patterns, making it difficult for the enemies to capture him.

Meanwhile, Eli covered her face and ducked into the thorny bushes. Fortunately, she was wearing layers of thick clothing so the thorns could not pierce her flesh. All she could hear was the loud gunshots. She wondered if Sean had been eliminated by the enemies. However, the hat that was on his head belonged to the leader of Team A. Hence, even if smoke came out from his hat, Sean would not be the one who got eliminated.

Eli could hear gunshots coming one after another. She looked at her watch. It had been half an hour since Sean had stormed out.

She couldn’t help but sigh. Will they be able to complete the training within twelve hours? She reckoned that she wouldn’t be able to get out for another twenty-four hours. They hadn’t even retrieved a single flag yet, but they were already in the stalemate for a few hours.

All of a sudden, Eli felt a warm breath blowing next to her. She turned to look to the side, only to see Sean, whose forehead and nose were covered in dense sweat.

He was still alive despite having ventured out alone. Was he too powerful, or were his men too weak?

“How did it go?” Eli mouthed.

Sean lifted a finger and crossed his other hand over his neck and pressed on the pouch on his waist. He then lifted another two fingers and simulated a walking position, making a pressing gesture with both hands.

Surprisingly, Eli understood each of his gestures. He had exterminated a guy and got a flag, but two more teams were approaching them. Hence, he told her to hide and hold her ground.

Eli frowned at the thought of two other teams coming near them. Wouldn’t they get caught by them?

However, the situation was only normal.

She remembered that there was a time when she was obsessed with playing Snake Blockade. It was a multiplayer game. When her character was a small snake, she would run to where the war was raging so that she could swallow the other snakes easily.

The same logic applied to the training.

After all, each team only carried one flag. Hence, those who did not have the flags with them would naturally flock to the battle scene to acquire the said flag once they heard the gunshots.

Perhaps this was a good thing for them. That way, the enemies would be kept occupied while their own team progressed.

Eli pointed to the sky, which had gradually turned dark. Their visibility would probably be reduced significantly in another two hours or so.

Sean put his arm around her shoulders and placed her head on his lap. Then, he whispered, “Take a nap. I’ll be here.”
