Chapter 502
Chapter 502:
At that moment, Henrik’s eyes locked with Khloe’s, and briefly, the coldness in his gaze melted away, only to
quickly harden back into his usual unfriendly expression.
He seemed indifferent to the crushes and opinions of others. Standing before the group, he said in a calm voice,
“My code nis Lone Wolf, and | will be your instructor for this season’s wilderness survival. From this point, |
am in charge of your safety and activities. Everyone, pack your things and make it to the camp in forty minutes!”
The directive caught everyone off guard. The camp was situated at the island’s center, a significant distance
from their current location at the perimeter. The straight-line distance alone was ten kilometers, not accounting
for the winding paths and rough terrain they'd face.
“Isn’t that timefra bit tight?” Rafael, always the peacemaker, asked with a concerned frown.
Henrik didn’t even look at him as he pulled out a timer and asked, “Too tight? Fine, you now have thirty minutes.
Start now!”
At the sound of the timer’s beep, it dawned on everyone that Henrik was serious. With the show's strict penalty
system, failing to meet the deadline could have harsh repercussions. Without hesitation, they all grabbed their

Giuliana, Sloane, and Eric ran together. Thinking back to how Khloe had pulled so many items out of her
backpack, Giuliana laughed happily and said, “That show-off brought so many things. She must still be packing
her things now.”
Before she could finish, Khloe surged past Giuliana and the others with surprising speed.
Giuliana’s face flushed as if she had been slapped, and she sneered, “She's starting off strong just to prove
something. She'll run out of energy soon, and no one will be there to help her then.”
Not wanting to be outdone by Khloe, Eric picked up his pace in an attempt to keep up with her.

A sharp, cold light flickered briefly in Henrik’s eyes.
“Eric!” Sloane froze in shock, staring at him as he walked away without so much as a glance back. Fury bubbled
inside her, and though she wanted to scream her frustration, she forced herself to stay composed. Maintaining
her poised and gentle persona was crucial, especially in front of Eric. Gritting her teeth, she swallowed her
indignation and hurried to close the distance.
Something unusual began to unfold along the winding trail to the camp. At first, Khloe ran just far enough ahead
of Eric to gain a slight lead, while the rest of the group lagged behind. It wasn’t long before Khloe widened the
gap. She moved so far ahead that even the panoramic camera couldn't keep her in view.
Hurley switched to a drone camera to track Khloe’s progress. The audience expected her to be exhausted, but to
their astonishment, she appeared composed, her breathing steady. While the others were drenched in sweat,
Khloe had only a faint sheen of perspiration glistening on her brow.
Exactly twenty-five minutes later, Khloe reached the camp ahead of everyone. Viewers in the live stream were
stunned, flooding the chat with messages.
“She didn’t just make the deadline; she finished early. Is she even human?”
“Is Khloe secretly an athlete? Her endurance is unreal. She left Eric and Rafael eating her dust.”
By the tEric arrived, Khloe was already seated under the shade of a large tree. The sunlight streaming
through the leaves created a soft, ethereal glow around her, making her look like a forest elf—graceful and
impossibly beautiful. Despite knowing that Khloe was now unattainable, Eric couldn’t help but be captivated. A
wave of regret washed over him—if only he had treated her better in the past, maybe she would still be his.
“Enc...” Sloane arrived at the camp, panting and almost last. Her eyes immediately fell on Khloe, who lounged
casually on the ground, her long legs stretched out with effortless grace. What stung the most was seeing Eric
utterly entranced by Khloe.
Sloane's heart churned with jealousy, but she masked it with a smile. “Khloe, you're incredible. You're the only
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmone who reached the destination on time. Sadly, we just can’t keep up with your energy.”
