The Satan CEO's Woman: He Unexpectedly Fell in Love with Her

Meanwhile, on the grandstand, Asia looked at Francais who seemed to be messaging someone over his phone. And so she wanted to tease him.

"Uncle, who is that?"

"None of your concern, Eunji!" He angrily said which made Mr. Alinsky to frown and scolded him eventually.

"Watch your language when talking to my granddaughter, Francais!"

Realizing what he had done, he immediately fakely apologized to him. "I\'m sorry, Sir. I\'m sorry Eunji. I\'m just stressed out right now. I don\'t want to die yet."

"Why are you so sure that you\'d die, Uncle? Don\'t you have any confidence to the person who chose you?" She teased him.

But to Asia\'s disappointment, Francais decided to be silent.

Just then, his phone lit up and he immediately checked on it. It\'s such a shame that she was far from him and she could not see his phone\'s screen.

Asia closely observed his reaction while reading the message. She swore that she saw the corner of his lips raising a little and he turned off the screen and placed his phone back inside his pocket.

"Well, seems like you\'re fine now. Is the sender your lover, Uncle?"

"What the h*ll are you talking about? The only woman I swear to love for the rest of my life is your mother."

Asia hid a smirk on her face and she looked at him straight in the eye.

"My bad. I\'m sorry Uncle. I\'m clearly not thinking." Deep down, she was cringing.

She focused her attention to the game that was happening.

On the other hand, J who was peacefully sleeping on his room was awakened when his phone rang.

When he checked it, his eyes dimmed and he turned off the phone and then immediately threw the phone on the wall which broke the phone screen.

"I don\'t want to do anything with you! Damn it!" He cursed.

The sound from his room was loud which alarmed the agent resting on the other side and so he knocked, "Boss J, are you okay?"

"Yeah! Go to sleep! I\'m fine!" He said however, he could not bring himself to sleep. And so he decided to get up and grabbed his KSA phone to call Eunji.

He waited impatiently as what he was going to saw was an emergency. However, he didn\'t know that Jane was still busy with Nathan and so it was Alora who answered his call.

"Uncle J, why are you calling Eomma?"

"Alora, where\'s your mom?"

"She\'s doing something and she should not be disturbed. If you want to say something to her, I can deliver the message after she\'s done."

"Oh." Jin Jie really wanted to talk to her but knowing that Alora could be trusted as well, he had no other choice but to do entrust this message to Alora.

Meanwhile, Eunji went back to the control to not make her disappearance pretty obvious. Before she left Nathan in the room, she left Nathan with something he could use for self defense. Nathan did tell her that he had his men inside as well and so there\'s nothing to worry.

She then focused her attention on the on going game on the screen. Compared to others, she knew the real identities of these people behind their avatars.

Eunji felt disappointed when she saw that Frederick was still alive and now he was on the next level just like the rest. It was already expected since she already had the idea that Francais had sought help to the other faction members to help or assist Frederick in every game so he would win. And she knew that President Williams had a role to play with it.

Of course they would dare to cheat!

As for Frederick, he also had a few tricks up his sleeve and he didn\'t fully trusted Francais\' capabilities.

Frederick was able to surpass the first level with the other people in their group as they followed another faction\'s strategies ahead of them.

The thought of playing this game individually was replaced with team efforts with people whom they thought would be reliable since seeking help from their faction mates were impossible since they could not recognize them amongst the crowd.

They\'d be lucky if they\'d have faction mates among their groups.

They were considered as the weakest among their entire faction but they wanted to show to people that they\'d be able to survive this challenges and come out alive for their sake and the people they cared about.

If the first level was a place full of lava, in the second level, they had to battle with the rain and typhoons. After overcoming that one h*ll of place, they felt thankful to have water pouring all over them.

But then they found out that they were no ordinary rain but acid rain. So, Frederick\'s team immediately sought refuge underneath the rock formations and caves. While they were in, they checked their items to see if they had something that could help them to survive it.

But to their dismay they didn\'t have any. However, some groups heard cheers which meant they had it and so their goal was to kill that group and steal their items.

Frederick didn\'t say anything and let these people he was in group with to do most of the task. He didn\'t want to waste his energy to it.

Seems like his plan worked because he was able to survive the second level with the remaining fifty-percent of his HP level. He and his group entered the third level.

On the third level was a vast land covered with desert. They thought it was far better and that they had already gotten used to the heat. However, the worst part hadn\'t come yet.

As soon as the surviving mercenaries entered the room, they were greeted by a strong dessert storm. It was so strong that the others who were unprepared were flown by the strong wind having their HP life being depleted immediately.

Frederick was lucky that he had an item which helped him in surviving it. When the storm calmed down, the next trial they had to face was the extreme heat which made them to be extremely thirsty.

They had to find an opening from the bottom of this desert so they would be able to clear this level if not, they would be constantly attacked by the fierce sandstorm.

Those who had already consumed their waters on the first level had passed out died because of dehydration and heat stroke.

This was the hardest level that they had faced so far since they had to dig on the sand to find that door.

They were stuck in the level for three days but in reality, the time was three hours.

Eunji felt proud of what she had done so far. However, someone was unhappy. President Williams looked at her and demanded, "Demi, can you do something?"

"Why? I thought you want them all dead. If they won\'t be able to find it, then they\'d be stuck in there and their HP Levels would decrease and die eventually."

"Are you nuts?! No, I don\'t want them to die! A few have to survive after this game of yours."

Well, under this extreme environment, these player\'s bodies would be pushed to the limit. It\'s a great test on their endurance and mentality.

Eunji looked at their HP levels and saw that most of them were having half of their HP gone.

There were no items in the game that would replenish their lost HP yet and so these players were almost on the edge.

They really thought it\'s easy to win this.

Frederick\'s lips were already cracking because of the heat and he could see his HP depleting faster. He had many sunburns and injuries in his body brought by that frequent sand storm.

Seeing that they were taking longer in crossing Eunji felt bored and so she had decided to let them pass this level.

From the hot dessert, they fell from the sky and landed on the vast body of water which was the ocean.

The salty water made them feel their skin burning in pain.

"Are they planning to kill us all? This is torture!"

One of the player complained.

He had spoken too soon because the real torture on this level was actually a huge wave coming towards them which carried them towards the shore which was near a big city as they saw tall skyscrapers ahead of them.

Maybe because of exhaustion and extreme pain, many of them drowned to death. And Frederick was not one of them.

Frederick had an item which helped him to ride on that big wave like he was surfing on it.

But he didn\'t expect that instead of hitting those skyscrapers, they were washed into a room full of glacier.

With their wet clothes, they (the remaining players) instantly felt the chill and they checked on their items and to their dismay, there\'s no thick clothes available in it.

However, a message popped up in front of them which told them to find the heat potion among their co-players and they had to steal it to survive.

Frederick was lucky to have both a thick change of clothes at the same time the heat potion.

And so he immediately grabbed it and removed the cork. But to his surprise, someone attacked him as the latter tried to take it away from him. He struggled to keep it to himself, however, he was not able to keep it to himself as it got broken during their fight and he ended up injuring himself.

The snow was so thick that it almost buried him with it.

However, he pushed through.

Eunji who was looking at the screen smirked and at the same time praised him a little bit for reaching this far of the competition with other people\'s help.

Now, he was stuck in the snow, alone and cold.

He was close to dying because his HP was on a very critical level however, he still pushed through.

But then, something unexpected happened, while he was buried in the snow, he found a potion which contained green liquid on it and it said, "Drink Me".

And so, he did and suddenly, his HP was being replenished by half and those locked items he had were now unlocked.

He looked around and saw people who had the same reaction as him.

On his count, there were probably a couple of hundreds who had survived and didn\'t die from hypothermia.

And so, they continued their journey to the last level.
