Chapter 164Diana's pov“Where's the dagger?” I asked.“Don't be so impatient. Didn't I say, as long as you fulfill my demands, I'll give you the daggerback?” The mountain wind tousled Avia's hair.She smiled, like a devil1 took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the hatred and anger churning inside me.“So, what are your demands?” Avia lowered her head, twirling her meticulously cared—for violetnails, her crimson lips curling slightly.“First, hand me your phone.” I furrowed my brow, not understanding why she would ask, but I stillhanded her my phone.“What about the unlock code?” she asked.I recited a sequence of numbers.I finally realized what Avia was up to.After unlocking my phone, she went straight to the messages and deleted all the conversationsbetweenme and her.“lI won't give you a chance to complain to Nathan,” she smirked triumphantly.1 glanced at her, too disinterested to even engage in conversation.After thoroughly inspecting my phone to ensure there was nothing incriminating, she tossed it backto1. me.“Do you have any other demands?” I asked after pocketing my phone.Avia looked at me with a gleeful yet malicious gaze.She slowly opened her mouth and said, word by word-“Second, I want you to kaneel down and beg me.”1 wasn't surprised by Avia's request.She had always detested me, seizing every opportunity to humiliate me.Kneeling before such a vicious, calculating, and foolish woman was undeniably difficult.Yet, thinking of Ryley’s blood-soaked face, my inner resistance was gradually suppressed.It was just kneelingEverything was worth it to retrieve the dagger.“Fine, I agree,” I struggled to move my lips, feeling as if sharp knives were slicing my throat witheach. word.The wind on the mountaintop turned bone-chilling, piercing every inch of my skin.I clenched my teeth tightly, my cheeks sore from the pressure.Then, under Avia's increasingly excited and smug gaze, I began to kneel.My left knee touched the ground.The rocks beneath my flesh felt like they were covered in sharp thorns, piercing me to the bone.1 had to gasp for air, trying to calm the humiliation and resentment in my heart.Avia crossed her arms, looking down at me.She smirked, speaking coldly/yet contentedly, “You wretch, you still have one foot.”Her nails dug into my palms, pain shooting through my brain as blood oozed from my fingertips.1 slowly raised my right leg, then used all my willpower to force my right knee to touch the ground.Avia burst into laughter.“Hahaha! Hahaha! Diana, aren’t you impressed? Aren't you the princess of the Blade Moon Pack?Weren't you so proud? But now... now you're nollHer laughter echoed on the mountaintop, like a demon’s roar,She lifted a foot, stepping on my right shoulder, and menacingly said, “Kneel properly for me!”The external pressure caused my knees to sink further.Avia glared at me. “Look at how pathetic you are now! So pitiful, so laughable! Do you really thinkyou're worthy of competing with me for Nathan? You despicable, detestable bitch!”As she spoke, she increased the pressure on my shoulder.Pain spread through my knees, and cold sweat beaded on my forehead.Avia clearly relished the sensation of having me beneath her foot, laughing grotesquely with redeyes.1 gritted my teeth, forcing myself to maintain a straight posture.I hadn't forgotten why I had chosen to forsake my pride and kneel.“The dagger?” I looked up at Avia.“Is this what you're talking about?” Avia pulled the dagger from her bag and waved it in front of meI breathed a sigh of relief.Luckily, the dagger hadn't suffered any damage.“I've fulfilled your demands, so please give me back the dagger now,” I said, panting.“Just a piece of trash, do you really think I care? Since you want it, I'll be kind enough...” Aviahanded the dagger to me.I reached out eagerly to take it.But then! Avia suddenly let out a short, sharp laugh.Immediately after, she raised her hand and threw the dagger off the cliff!“NoI lunged towards the edge of the cliff, trying to catch the dagger.But it was too late.The dagger slipped through my fingertips, plummeting into the abyss, swallowed by the rushingsea, disappearing without a trace.It all happened in a matter of seconds.Behind me, Avia's sharp and arrogant laughter rang out.“Hahaha... I kindly disposed of it for you. Diana, you don't need to thank me.”In that moment, I forgot everything, consumed by one intense thought-Kill Avia!“You're dead!".I shouted fiercely, turning to pounce on Avia.She widened her eyes in terror, screaming and trying to run down the mountain.But before she could take a step, I grabbed the nape of her neck and yanked her back “This is theprice for deceiving me,” I growled angrily, flinging her away.Avia's lower back collided with a tree trunk.She screamed in pain, turnbling to the ground, her white dress stained with mud1 walked towards her slowly.She stared at me, trying to warn me, to make me fear and retreat.“Di... Diana, I'm Nathan's fiancée, the Luna of the Dark Moon Pack How dare you lay a hand on me!I couldn't hear what she was saying anymore.Or maybe, it didn't matter what she said.Avia screamed as she fell to the ground, her face covered in mud.Without bothering to tidy up, she rolled over and looked at me in disarray, pushing herselfbackward with her arms.“Y-you can't kill me, Diana. Nathan won't let you... he won“t-uhh!”1 didn't give Avia a chance to continue speaking. I grabbed her by the neck, lifting her up.Her feet left the ground, dangling helplessly.She reached out, struggling to break free from my grip on her throat.But it was all in vain.She could only struggle with suffocation!“You shouldn't have provoked me,” I said. “Because I will really kill you.”“P—please... Diana... calm down... don't...”Avia seemed to finally realize that I wasn't bluffing and began to plead.I ignored her.I brought her to the edge of the cliff.Watching the tumultuous sea below, I said coldly and cruelly, “Since you threw the dagger into thesea, go down and replace it yourself.”
