Chapter 90: You don’t need to go back

Crash!!

Liliana shoved Mali with all her strength, sending her body flying several meters away.

Liliana shook her fur and let out a low growl. "Mali Forst, you should understand what will happen if we continue this fight. You are no match for me. The Draven family has trained me very well all this time. So please, stop."

Mali growled, her tail hanging stiffly behind her, showing that she couldn’t accept the reality before her.

"Liliana... how is this possible? How could you be so lucky? You were cast out by Pack Forst, then you were also cast out by Pack Beaumont. But why? Why are you still loved by so many people? How could my father..."

Mali lowered her head and growled even more deeply.

Liliana lowered her body as well. Her eyes narrowed before she leaped high into the air to counter Mali’s sudden attack.

Mali opened her eyes and smiled scornfully as Liliana stood firmly over her.

"Liliana, you’ve certainly become stronger. Pack Draven deserves its reputation as a high-quality pack."

Liliana frowned, staring at Mali, who had suddenly grown so calm.

"You are my sister. I won’t kill you, so stop attacking me. Give me time to prove everything myself. I, Liliana, never harmed the Alpha of Pack Forst."

"Do you think this will simply end here? Ever since you left Pack Forst alive, you’ve been an enemy of Pack Forst!"

Crash!!

With Mali’s sudden attack, Liliana’s body was finally sent flying and slammed into a tree not far away.

"Cough!"

Liliana returned to her human form and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Mali, who had used up so much of her internal energy, was in no better condition. She collapsed to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood as well.

Liliana raised her head, staring at Mali, who was now completely different from the person she had known in the past. There wasn’t even the slightest trace of affection left on her face.

Liliana shook her head. Silver inside her body let out a powerful growl.

"Liliana, Mali has no intention of letting us leave here unharmed. She’s actually willing to injure herself just to hurt you. She’s hiding something inside her body. You need to be more careful," Silver said.

Liliana nodded, but she froze for a moment. Her body swayed several times before she finally collapsed to the ground.

"Hahahaha!"

Mali burst into laughter when she saw how pale Liliana had become.

"Liliana, did you really think I hadn’t made any preparations to face you?"

"Mali... what..."

"I got the poison from the human world. It’s the same poison you used to kill my father. My family and I even traded something you could never imagine just to get rid of you."

Mali smiled coldly. Her pale face turned toward Liliana, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Liliana, didn’t I tell you before? No one is allowed to leave this forest until one of us is dead."

Liliana raised her head, staring at Mali in disbelief.

"You’re working with humans?" she asked.

Mali smiled mockingly but had no intention of answering Liliana’s question.

"You’re the one who will die here. You must experience every bit of the pain my father suffered in the past. Every last bit of it!" she declared.

Liliana collapsed again. Her eyelashes trembled several times as she looked at Mali.

Mali wiped the blood trickling from the corner of her lips, then turned and walked away.

Crack!

Liliana, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up again. The necklace around her neck, which contained Mali’s identity, had shattered into several pieces. She lowered her head and examined the other necklace in her hand, which bore her own name.

Her gaze shifted to Mali, who disappeared into the darkness of the forest without any intention of looking back.

Why?

"Liliana, I’ll remove the poison from your body now," Silver said.

Liliana nodded and immediately sat down, allowing Silver to use her power to eliminate the poison in her body.

After half an hour, Liliana finally began walking toward the place where the instructors were waiting. She calmly followed the directions indicated by the necklace on her arm.

By the time she arrived, a large crowd had already gathered.

Liliana stood some distance away from the crowd. However, everyone’s eyes immediately turned toward her.

"I really didn’t expect Liliana to do something so cruel just to get her own necklace."

"I think so too. How could she even kill Mali just because she wanted her necklace? Wouldn’t it have been enough to simply injure her?"

Liliana immediately raised her head and stared at everyone, who were now looking at her with contempt and scorn. She took a few steps backward, still unable to understand what was happening.

Someone standing beside her sneered.

"I heard Liliana was taken in by the Forst family after both her parents died. Was killing her adoptive father not enough? Did she have to kill his daughter too? Thank goodness my father never considered taking an orphan girl like her into our family."

Liliana immediately stepped toward that person and grabbed their shoulder.

"What are you talking about? What do you mean? Mali is dead? That’s nonsense!" Liliana shouted.

That person shoved Liliana away and snorted. They pointed at the projection screen displaying the list of participants in their class.

Mali’s name had been crossed out in solid black.

"The instructors are currently trying to find her body." That person looked at Liliana again with a mocking expression. "Liliana, do you always enjoy hurting the families that adopted you? The Forst family, the Beaumont family... and now, have you also planned something against the Draven family?"

Liliana shook her head. She immediately turned around and walked back toward the place where she and Mali had fought.

Mali wasn’t dead. She was certain of that.

Liliana lowered her head and looked again at her own necklace and the broken pieces of Mali’s necklace still in her hand.

Liliana shook her head, trying to drive away the terrible suspicion beginning to form in her mind, then ran in her wolf form.

However, before she could get much farther, the instructor who had just returned from the place where she had fought Mali called out to her.

"Liliana," he called. "You don’t need to go back."

Liliana immediately turned to look at him.

"We’ve already brought Mali’s body back." The instructor pointed toward the human body of Mali Forst lying there.
