Chapter 323


    Before Kalh could say a word, a loud p echoed as itnded on her cheek. She waspletely taken aback, clutching her face in shock, unsure of what had just happened. But it didn''t take long for her to snap back to reality.


    "Chloe, how dare you hit me?" she eximed.


    Chloe''s voice was ice-cold. "What, should I have penciled you in for a p?" Then, she turned and walked into the tent.


    Fueled by rage, Kalh stormed in after her. She aimed to return the p, but Chloe seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. Just as Kalh''s hand was about to connect, Chloe spun around, grabbed Kalh''s arm mid-air, and delivered another sharp p to her face.


    A chilling smile curled on Chloe''s lips. "It''s even now. Feel better?"


    Chloe didn''t hold back at all. Both ps were delivered with precision and force, and Kalh''s face swelled up instantly, clear handprints marking each cheek. Holding her face, a flicker of fear crossed Kalh''s eyes. Chloe was swift, precise, and incredibly strong. Kalh realized she stood no chance in a fight against her.


    "Chloe, why did you hit me?" she demanded.


    Just then, Diana rushed in, catching the scene just as Chloe pped Kalh. After all, Kalh had saved her earlier that day. Stepping in to intervene, Diana said, "Chloe, this is not okay."


    Seeing she had backup, Kalh immediately started crying, clutching her face. "Chloe, are you mad just because I took Diana out and not you? But Diana was closest to me at the time, so I grabbed her. Is that so wrong?"


    "Chloe, I know you''re upset because we ran out first. You don''t dare hit Diana, so you''re taking it out on me."


    Kalh was determined to drag

    Diana into this mess. With Diana as her support, she felt less threatened by Chloe''s aggression. "In that situation, did you expect me to risk my life to shield you from the snake? Is your life more valuable than ours? Chloe, you''re being incredibly selfish."


    Diana''s cheeks flushed with shame as she listened to Kalh''s words. Regardless of the circumstances, they had left Chloe behind. Since


    they were sharing a room, they


    shouldhave helped each other and faced the situation together. But she had fled. Even though she was pulled away by Kalh, she was still


    a deserter.


    Diana stepped forward, guilt written all over her face. "I''m sorry. You have every right to be mad at us. We shouldn''t have run away."


    Otherwise, Chloe wouldn''t have been

    left to face that terrifying snake alone. Three against one would have been better than facing it alone. Seeing Diana''s innocent expression, Chloe sighed. "Diana, this isn''t about

    left first. Under those


    circumstances, leaving was the right thing to do."


    "Remember, your life is always the most important. No one has the right to guilt-trip you over your survival."


    Diana''s eyes teared up upon hearing this. "But, Chloe..."


    Kalh, hearing all this, was fuming even more. "So, Chloe, you''re targeting me, is that it?"


    "I used to think you were so noble, unafraid of power, disdainful of pandering to others. Turns out you''re no different. Chloe, in what way are you better than me? You''re probably even worse."
