The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Applicant 007 and Applicant 0064 felt so uncomfortable because of the intense heat they were feeling. They had the urge to find a pool and dip their bodies to cool them down.

"What is happening to me? Why do I feel so hot?" She mumbled, still wondering why Cassie looked so calm as if she was not bothered at all by the increasing temperature around them.

The guys continued running in the field, trying their best not to be a member of  Cassie's team. A few minutes had passed and four men were already running out of breath.

They only had to run another two laps to finally determine the final groupings. It did not take long before the running competition ended. The four men who ranked last had no choice but to join Cassie's book.

The twelve men went back to their respective groups. They noticed that the other two leaders were already covered with sweat as if they also ran a marathon.

"Team leader, are you okay? Why are you sweating a lot?" One man asked their team leader, Applicant 007.

"Oh, it's nothing." She mumbled.

Cassie just ignored them as she faced her new members. "Did you regret losing the competition?"

Still panting heavily, one of the four men answered her. "Of course not! Maybe it's our destiny to be together." He even winked at Cassie, making Flint and Justine frown as they saw them.

Cassie could only giggle, raising her thumb in appreciation of his reply. The other three men just bobbed their heads in agreement.

Before they could start their morning session, the two ladies suddenly collapsed, not able to withstand the intense heat.

Thud!

"Oh no! They fainted!" Their group members immediately responded, giving them some air by fanning them using their hands.

Flint, Justine, and the other staff also responded. It was just the start of the day. How could they faint like that?

Medical Staff were summoned to check on them. The men felt like they had chosen the wrong team leader. Among the three, only Cassie remained standing. What happened to the other two?

Though incomplete, the training today should proceed. Each group has to undergo and accomplish the obstacles run within three hours. This is a battle of teamwork and speed. Since the other two groups lacked a member, they would be penalized and have to wait for thirty minutes before they could start.

It only meant, that 30 minutes would be added to their time after accomplishing the obstacle run. This was a disadvantage to them since this round is a battle of speed. The fastest group would get the highest score.

The team must navigate different challenging physical obstacles while being timed. They had to undergo thirteen stations while doing running, climbing, jumping, crawling, swimming, and balancing elements with the aim of testing speed and endurance.

"Don't worry. We still have the advantage even without our team leader. At least, the other group still has a female member who will certainly hold them down!"

"That's true. So cheer up!" 

The two teams stood by as they watched Cassie's group pass through the first obstacles. They had to climb the 30 feet wooden wall to go to the other side. Everyone's attention was focused on Cassie. 

Cassie and his team didn't move first. She was thinking of a strategy on how they could climb the wall faster than any other team. She had no problem climbing the 30 feet tall wall as she could use some invisible barrier as support for their feet.

"The big man and I should go first. After reaching the top, we will use the rope to pull you up to make your life easier as you climb," Cassie informed them as she already found a strategy to use.

'Master, that's cheating! Your great-grandpa will not allow you to use your magical power.' Scarlet reminded her.

'Don't worry Scarlet. I'm not using the invisible barrier to climb the wall. But I will use my physical strength to pull my other team members up!'

Scarlet giggled upon hearing Cassie's strategy. No wonder she let the big man climb first. She would use him as a shield, letting them think that it was the big man who was exerting a great effort in pulling their other team members. He would be used as her front, although she was the real one using an extraordinary strength.

With Cassie's strategy, their group finished the first obstacle within 15 minutes! The people watching them were surprised to see how Cassie was leading her team. She looked very serious and she seemed like she transformed into a different person.

The other guys who didn't choose her as team leader a while ago started to regret their choices.

"See, I told you. She is something!" Justine nudged Flint's shoulder. Flint was so focused on Cassie, watching her with amusement. He was surprised by her performance today.

Cassie's group, which was the red team, proceeded to the next obstacle where they had to crawl under the net in which the ground was covered with mud.

Flint was surprised again as he thought Cassie would feel disgusted with the muddy ground. But she didn't care about it. She continued guiding her team members until they finished crawling together.

After thirty minutes, Cassie and her team were already in the Station 5 obstacle but the Blue and Green Team were still stuck in the Obstacle Station 1– Wall Climbing.

"Damn! Why are they so fast!" 

"Their teamwork is like magic!"

"Hey! Stop being distracted! We need to catch up with them! Move! Move!"

Since her team members were not that physically strong like her, Cassie let them rest for a while as they watched the other two members climbing the wall.

"Hahaha! They are so slow like a turtle," Cassie's team members made fun of the others.

Cassie just let them rest and enjoy the show. She roamed her eyes around searching for someone. Then her gaze stopped upon meeting Flint's eyes. He was also looking at her!

Cassie gave him a charming smile but Flint looked away immediately, avoiding her gaze.

'Damn! She caught me looking at her.' Flint hid his embarrassment. He realized that he was wrong to judge her right away.
