Paid To Care, Destined To Conquer Novel

Chapter 473 Inhuman Training And Danger Everywhere In the night, after a day of twisted and inhuman training in the deep within the jungle, the twenty handpicked elite soldiers were utterly spent. For the first time ever, they learned that even the cutest-looking flowers could suddenly tear off a chunk of flesh. Those dazzling butterflies could drain their blood dry. Danger was everywhere, and only by being a thousand times more cautious than usual had they barely managed to survive until now. But the nightmare wasn't over yet.

"Don't you guys think something's wrong?" Joey lay low in the jungle, his face streaked with camo paint. Earlier, he'd freaked out at every snake, but now he just let them slither over him. He'd toughened up fast. Noe didn't say a word, but his brow never relaxed. It was way too quiet. So quiet it made people's skin crawl. Suddenly, Stella's ethereal voice echoed through the jungle. "You have ten minutes. Hide wherever you want. After that, the game begins." The twenty hardened soldiers felt a chill run down their spines. As her words faded, the air grew heavy with silence once more.

But the twenty men were already on the move, scrambling to find cover. After spending a day with Stella, they understood. This wasn't some spur-of-the-moment joke. It was a true life -or-death test. Stella lounged in a tree, her slender legs dangling and swaying gently. Blackie snuggled close, its bright eyes watching the lush jungle below, enjoying Stella's gentle touch. 'Ah, this is the life, Blackie thought, utterly content. Ten minutes later, Stella leapt down from the tree, and Eliel, Vincent, and Fabian, who had been waiting below, instantly straightened up. "Ms.

Carter!" "Come with me," Stella ordered. Soon, they were too stunned to speak. 'So this is what real speed looks like!' they thought. Stella didn't even blink as she glided through the jungle, her footsteps utterly silent. To the Red Shadow crew, she was the definition of cool and deadly, her whole vibe radiating a chilling edge. "Ms. Carter, what are we supposed to do?" Vincent whispered. But before he even finished, Stella had already slipped into the bushes on the right, knocked someone out cold with a quick twist, and shoved the limp body straight into Vincent's arms.

Without even looking back, Stella said, "Pick them up." Everyone was totally floored. Ten minutes later, the Red Shadow crew followed behind her, collecting bodies one after another, totally numb from the carnage. They thought, 'Ms. Carter didn't even flinch. She twisted necks as if she were cracking peanuts. 'One move, and it was over!' With just a single move, those elite soldiers from all over were instantly taken out. They wondered, 'Stella doesn't even show her true strength yet. For her, this whole thing may seem like messing around for fun! 1/3 Successfully unlocked!

Chapter 473 Inhuman Training And Danger Everywhere - At that moment, everyone couldn't help but have the same burning question in their hearts. 'Just how strong is Stella, really?' they all wondered. Once they'd rounded up all nineteen, including Joey, and only Noe was left, Stella's cool, unbothered expression finally cracked into a smile. The next second, Noe, camo streaked across his face, sprang down from above. He'd clearly been lying in wait for the perfect chance, but before he could make his move, a cold, slender hand shot out, faster than he was. "Hey there," Stella said.

That was the last thing Noe heard before everything went black. Half an hour passed, and everyone lying on the ground got doused with ice-cold water and snapped awake. Joey quickly sprang to his feet, glancing around. When he realized they were back at the mountaintop, he shivered hard. Joey thought, 'Man, that was insane! 'The way my boss, Stella, just dropped out of nowhere. Seriously, nothing had ever freaked me out more. 'It was even more traumatizing than the time I got chased by five wolfdogs!' Everyone just sat there in a daze, looking like drowned rats.

Stella drawled, "Everything you learned about staying hidden on dry land? Forget it. In this hot, humid jungle, even the tiniest moss or fern can give you away. "But hey, that's also your shortcut to finding the enemy." She was totally unbothered, as if she hadn't just knocked out every single one of them. The group of battered men looked up at her, hanging on her every word. "In this jungle, forget everything you've ever learned about right and wrong. For the next 72 hours, let your instincts take over. Because out here, instinct means one thing: survival." Stella snapped her fingers.

Fabian opened up a sack he'd had ready and dumped everything out onto the ground. "Ugh!" Joey was the first to gag. It was raw, bloody meat. Noe, Perry, and the other veterans all looked pale and unsettled. "Eat," Stella ordered. Everyone was totally floored. They gagged. Joey doubled over, gagging even harder. Stella said, "Forget all that plotting and scheming. I'm not here to talk about any of that. As I said, my job is to keep you alive.

"Whether it's covering your tracks or eating whatever you can find, the only thing that matters is this: I want all twenty of you to go in healthy, and come back alive and kicking," As she spoke, she grabbed the biggest chunk of raw meat and bit right into it, as if it was nothing. "Oh my god-" Joey croaked, but before he could finish, he suddenly blurted out, "Ms. Carter!" Without hesitating, he grabbed a chunk of raw meat and shoved it into his mouth. Seeing Joey do it, the rest of them finally moved, forcing themselves to eat as well.

Stella's icy, flawless face didn't show a hint of emotion. She wasn't out to torture them. She just knew that once they hit the island, food would be the first thing to fail in their gear during those 72 hours. So, living off the land was actually the smartest move they had. Noe sank his teeth into the raw meat, tearing at it savagely. 2/3 Chapter 473 Inhuman Training And Danger Everywhere He didn't even bat an eye. "Are you saying those Monterra bastards are gonna hunt us down in the jungle?" Noe asked, chewing as he mulled it over.

"Split us up and pick us off one by one?" Noe was quick on the uptake, his mind working fast. Stella's gaze stayed icy. "There were eighteen teams signed up for Blaze. Half an hour ago, two countries dropped out. If my guess is right, after just two hours on the island, those sixteen teams will be cut down to less than ten." Her words hit Eliel and the rest of Red Shadow so hard, their jaws practically hit the floor. "Ms. Carter, you're really that sure?" Perry asked. He just couldn't wrap his head around it. But Joey suddenly figured it out. "It's the treaty allies. Six of them!

They must've gotten the heads-up early. They're just playing along with Monterra, but there's no way they'll send in their real A-team!" They'll just throw some cannon fodder onto the island. If those guys die, it's no big deal. These poor suckers are the first to get sent to the slaughter. Once everyone caught on to the scheme, they were stunned. But what really blew their minds was how Stella seemed to be the mastermind behind it all. They thought, 'She has the whole situation in the palm of her hand.

'She is so strong, and it is almost terrifying.' "And then what?" Fabian poked his big head out from behind Stella, scratching his head like a starstruck fan, his eyes shining as he waited for the next part. "And then?" Stella smiled and arched an eyebrow lazily. "Then the remaining ten teams will realize something's up, and it'll switch to battle royale mode." Everyone was totally floored. 'For the next nine days, we're not messing around, and we'll do exactly as we're told!' they all thought.
