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

Back in the grandstand Francais returned back to his seat with a smirk on his face.

He was really happy of what he had done to Nathan. It\'s not that difficult for him to find someone to bribe and do the task for him.

After all, he has the money.

Now, he was confident that no one could spoil his plans now that Nathan was all locked up. And he\'d make sure that when he woke up, he\'d be sent to death immediately.

And he didn\'t have to pay extra because President Williams had already done him the favor.

Speaking of Williams, he still could not get the chance to talk to him. He was deliberately avoiding him which made him angry.

He had no other choice but to focus his attention on the game.

The game later on was near to its end because some of the players had successfully beaten the programmed version of themselves.

One by one, they were able to finally log out from the game.

There were other players remaining who were still struggling to defeat their opponents. No one knows someone better than themselves. And so, they\'re their own enemies.

Francais looked at Asia who was so focused on the screen as there were only three players left. Among them was Frederick. All of the players were heavily injured. And only one strike away to be defeated. Their counterpart was not in a better condition either.

"Oh my! Look at this partner! Seems like each side is in a worse condition now. All it takes is the deciding one punch to determine the winner. Who do you think will win this match?"

However, before his partner could even answer the question, the players bet their lives on their last punch. The trio fell down at exactly the same time so did their counterparts.

Everyone were on their throats as they waited for the result.

"Ahm partner? What if it\'s a draw? What will happen?"

"Well, if it\'s a draw..." the commentator at the same time the announcer scrambled to look for the booklet to check if there were any rules about it. The game was new. Therefore they\'re unfamiliar about it.

"Let\'s ask President Williams about this."

And so the other side of the screen showed President Williams sitting on his chair.

"Good evening President!"

"Good evening!" The latter greeted everyone.

"Could you please answer our question?"

"Well, if there\'s a draw on this level, we will let the system to decide. As simple as that."

"The system? What does it mean?"

"Well..." since he was not the one who programmed this game, he had no idea on how to answer this kind of question. He then muted the microphone and called on his assistant. "Quick bring Demi and let her solve this."

Like on cue, Demi or Eunji showed up on the screen. With her voice changer, she spoke. "If the game ended with a draw. It\'s still considered as defeat. Why? You can\'t even defeat yourself. Which means you don\'t know yourself well. And so, you\'re just a good for nothing who enjoys a reputation of being a mercenary because it\'s cool. Such person has no place here. As a mercenary, your life is always at risk when taking missions. This is not a place for rediscovering yourself and your full potential."

After giving her explanation, Demi disappeared from the screen.

Just then, someone from the six fallen bodies moved and his HP level were blinking. Indicating that he\'s the winner.

Everyone somehow cheered for him because the audience saw how he struggled to defeat himself. The other two did not make it and were forced to log out on the game by the system.

Just then, Asia who was watching the man on the screen pursed her lips and bit her inner cheek.

"Congratulations Sis! He win on this game." Eunji sounded through her earpiece which Eunji had given to her before they parted ways earlier.

"Shut up Eve!" She spat softly enough for them both to hear. Asia felt annoyed after she knew that Frederick survived.

"I thought you wanted to kill him at this round, too? What happened?"

"You know me Sis. I play fair. Even I was surprised that he won. But don\'t worry. He\'ll be participating on the remaining games so rest assured, I\'ll get him next time." Eunji was aslo annoyed to know the result.

"Maybe, he did love you, Sis. That\'s why he\'s this persistent and motivated to win." Eunji teased her more.

"In his dreams!" Asia then got up from her seat as she felt the need to visit the ladies room again. However, before she could even go, the guard stopped her.

"I\'m sorry but you must not go."

"And why is that?"

"The final verdict for the last round had not started yet."

"F*ck that final verdict! You may eat it if you want. If you won\'t allow me to go, I\'ll pee here! I suggest if you don\'t want this entire place to stink of my pee, then let me go."

"I\'m sorry but that\'s an order from President Williams. I\'m only following his orders. After all, he\'s my boss."

Asia was starting to get annoyed. And so, she suddenly grabbed his arm and in a quick move, she pinned it behind him and used her other arm to wrap across his neck.

The hight difference between them was only an inch or two and so, she was able to do it without taking much time. She then pinned him down against the wall.

"Are you going to let me out or do you want your blood to replace my pee and stink the entire place? You choose."

She\'s already in a bad mood and this man was trying to make things difficult for her.

Just then, she could feel many weapons pointing towards her.

"Stop it, Asia. Now is not the time to make a scene." Eunji was having a headache. She had a lot on her plate already and if Asia would make a scene now, it\'d disrupt her plan.

"Please sis. Listen to me. I\'ll give you the chance to do whatever you wanted to do later on. But not now." She tried coaxing her from the other line.

Seems like it works as Asia let go of the man. "You\'re lucky that I\'m not in the mood to kill yet. You\'re free to challenge me anytime. In the ring."

"Let my granddaughter go." Mr. Alinsky didn\'t like how these people were treating them.

"I\'m just trying to be quiet here but if you lay a finger to her, war will break out again between us! And this time, it\'ll be bloody."

He\'ll make sure to wipe them out this time. All of them!

Everyone became silent. After all, these words came from him. The king whose influence in the underworld could not be underestimated.

Asia looked at Mr. Alinsky in a different perspective. Even Eunji who was listening on the other side didn\'t expect for the man to defend Asia against these people.

However, she decided to not be easily swayed and hoped that her sister would do the same.

"Grandpa, you don\'t have to announce a war just because of me. After all, I\'m only a granddaughter. Not a grandson." Asia had no intention to earn any sympathy when she said that.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You may be not a grandson but you\'re my grandchild. You\'re my direct heir. My sole successor! I just want to give you a strong backing that\'s why I\'m choosing your marriage partner. That\'s all!" After all, the society they\'d been moving around would always looked down on women for being weak.

Asia was deeply touched by his words. After all, it\'s not everyday that someone would say these words to her.

Though they didn\'t recognize Mr. Alinsky as their leader, his presence was indeed overbearing and it made them to step back.

Asia who was not in the mood earlier smirked and suddenly was in a good mood.

She suddenly become proud of being the granddaughter of the most influential man in the underworld.

"Thanks grandpa. I really appreciate it. Now, you heard my grandfather, move."

"But, we\'re still in a game. It\'s not over yet." The other guard told her.

"What? It\'s over. The screen showed it\'s over."

"No. It\'s not. As you can see, there\'s no deaths, ever since the last round started. That is because the game master has to say something."

Just then, the screen lit up again revealing Eunji in her demi persona again.

"Now that the final round is over, you have seen that no one died. That\'s because I\'ll give their faith in your hands. People in the grandstand."

"What?"

"Yes. They have put your lives in danger when they chose you. Isn\'t this the best time to get back at them?" What Eunji said was really tempting for them.

"Fine, I\'ll go first. I want those people who chose me to die."

Jaime who heard her speak suddenly panicked.

"But Young Lady!"

Even Mr. Alinsky looked at Asia with a complicated gaze.

All through out the game, they have survived, then, it meant that those who had chosen them were still alive, right?

And these young men came from influential families who helped him to stay in his position.

If he\'d agree to this, then, she\'d be in a bad position. However, Asia didn\'t care about it.

Even Francais was a little startled when he heard her.

"Dear, Frederick\'s one of them. Aren\'t you worried about him?"

However, Asia only responded with a smile.

As expected of her. She\'s known for being heartless and so she had decided to play that role properly.

No reservations?

"Well, if that\'s the case, then..."
