“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 dagger back?” The mountain wind tousled Avia’s hair.

She smiled, like a devil.

I took a deep breath, struggling to suppress the hatred and anger churning inside me.

“What about the unlock code?” she asked.

I recited a sequence of numbers.

I finally realized what Avia was up to.

She had always detested me, seizing every opportunity to humiliate me.

Kneeling before such a vicious, calculating, and foolish woman was undeniably difficult.
