CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 572: Chapter 580: Feeding the Sharks

The transmitter crackled with Alexander SkyShaw and another team member’s response, ”We’ll come over once we shake off the people behind us!”

”No need to wait to shake them off, just come straight over. By the time you two get here, Mair and I will be tying up the pursuers. Only one of you needs to climb the tree!” Mair urged, ”We don’t have time to wait!”

”Okay, we’re on our way!” the team member replied, familiar with the terrain here. Judging by Mair and Hibiscus Wood’s descriptions, he knew exactly where they were now.

Upon hearing this, Jane Sampson tensed up. With her vantage point high above the rest, it wasn’t long before she saw a member of the second team getting closer and closer to her position.

”It’s over, my kingdom is about to fall!” Jane Sampson yelled into the transmitter, ”Save me! Save me!”

But it was already too late; the team member had arrived.

”Can you make it up?” Mair asked.

”Piece of cake!” the team member nodded confidently.

”Then it’s all up to you. Hibiscus Wood and I will deal with the ones chasing from behind!” As long as the first team king was eliminated, sacrificing the National Grandmaster and the Great General would be worth it.

Mair and Hibiscus Wood headed straight towards the direction from which the team member had come.

Seeing a subordinate climbing the tree below her, Jane Sampson couldn’t sit still any longer and hurried upwards, shouting, ”Hey hey hey! Am I still not your beloved Goddess Sampson? This is utterly ruthless, turning cold so suddenly!”

”After the game ends, Goddess Sampson is still my favorite,” the subordinate below answered cheerily, climbing nimbly, much faster than Jane Sampson’s ascent speed.

Jane Sampson’s limbs flailed as she continued to climb, causing everyone watching from below to feel their hearts in their throats. The team member was incomparably faster than Jane Sampson, and it didn’t take long for his hand to grasp the upper part of her shoe.

”Goddess Sampson, no need to climb any higher; it’s dangerous. Let me take your nameplate, and then we can go down,” the team member urged, afraid of using too much force and possibly harming Jane.

Stubbornly resisting, Jane let go of her shoes, performing a deft maneuver by quickly withdrawing her feet.

The team member held Jane’s shoe in confusion, about to continue his ascent when suddenly he heard the personnel below shout.

”Second squad king is out! Game over!”

The team member sighed upon hearing this, ”I was just a little bit away!”

”We won, we won!” Jane Sampson was delighted, clinging to the tree trunk, ”Quick, give me my shoes; this bark is really rough on the feet!”

The team member returned her shoes and climbed down the tree first, then turned and saw James Black approaching, causing him to tremble involuntarily, ”Chief!”

James Black glanced at the team member but said nothing, just stood directly below the tree.

The cameraman swiftly turned the lens away, looking distressed—how did the stoic Chief Black show up again?

Jane Sampson, slipping her shoes on, heard the team member’s shout and froze, looking down!

Mother! There stood James Black beneath the tree, facing her with a cold and gloomy expression!

”Jane Sampson.” The person below called out in a chilling tone, using her name and surname included, ”You always manage to impress me.”

Had it not been for the final exasperated breath, those unfamiliar with James Black might have mistakenly thought Chief Black was offering a compliment.

However, Jane Sampson shivered through every organ in her body upon hearing this single exhale.

”If you get hurt and become disabled, let’s see if I won’t throw you into the sea to feed the sharks,” James Black spoke coldly, the flames of anger inside him burning fiercer by the second.
