The tension on set thickened, as if the air itself had turned volatile, ready to erupt. Henrik watched Khloe, an approving gleam in his eyes. He respected how she handled things immediately, without a second thought, never backing down from a fight. It was impressive.

“So what if I slapped you?” Khloe’s lips twisted into a frosty smile as she spoke without hesitation. “You accuse the instructor of favoring me, but isn’t that just your way of saying he’s after me, using his position to exploit me? You even imply I have a rich benefactor. With your venomous words, I slapped you to show you the difference between what’s acceptable and what isn’t. You should be thankful.”

The crowd erupted in chaos.

No one had anticipated Khloe would face off with Giuliana so boldly at the start of the show or that she would speak so bluntly.

“Let me tell you, that slap was nothing compared to what you deserve. If you keep spreading lies, I’ll make sure you end up behind bars!” Khloe’s glare was icy as she emphasized each word. “You talk about team spirit and working together, but do you even know what that means? You saw my heavy backpack and called me a burden. When I set up shelter, you tried to take my supplies. So, your idea of team spirit is to greedily take what others have worked for, using my hard-earned supplies for your own convenience? That’s your version of teamwork?”

Giuliana’s face reddened with humiliation, but she didn’t believe she was at fault. Instead, Khloe’s relentless attitude only stoked her anger further.

“Giuliana didn’t mean it,” Sloane chimed in, her gaze turning to Khloe. “Khloe, for my sake, can’t you just let it go?”

Khloe let out a mocking laugh, her tone full of contempt as she snapped, “You don’t have any say in this.”

The atmosphere grew thick with unease again, and everyone hesitated to speak, afraid of getting caught in the middle. They exchanged uneasy glances, unsure of what would happen next.

“Please take the next half hour to get your accommodations ready. After that, we’ll meet up for hunting training. The winner will receive a special reward.” Seeing the tension rise, the director of the show wasted no time stepping in, using their earpieces to give everyone a quick reminder about sticking to the schedule. He made sure the cameras were zoomed in on the confrontation between Khloe and Giuliana, clearly determined to keep the drama front and center for the audience.

Giuliana, catching sight of the cameras, took a breath and composed herself, though she shot a venomous glare at Khloe. “Just wait. You’ll regret this.” With a final, seething look, she stormed off to gather materials for her shelter.

As Giuliana backed off, the other contestants let out a collective breath of relief and quickly got to work preparing their shelters, though they couldn’t help but be more cautious of Khloe’s fierce temperament.

Thirty minutes later, the contestants stood in front of Henrik, who began outlining the fundamentals and techniques of archery before they started their practice.

Sloane’s eyes gleamed with a spark of mischief as she leaned in and whispered, “Archery takes real skill. I remember Khloe hasn’t trained in this area…”

Giuliana, quickly catching on, raised her hand with enthusiasm. “Lone Wolf, training’s one thing, but it’s boring. Why not make this a competition? The winning team gets the mysterious reward, and they can make a request from the losing team—one they can’t refuse!”

Khloe might have been strong, but archery wasn’t all about power. It took skill, precision, and constant practice. Giuliana, who loved archery and practiced regularly, knew this well. She had noticed that Khloe’s hands were smooth, with no calluses from shooting arrows, which made it clear she didn’t train much, if at all. After Khloe slapped her, Giuliana was more determined than ever to make her look foolish in an archery contest.

Khloe, however, immediately saw through Giuliana’s scheme. Giuliana had assumed she would fail and wanted to drag everyone else down with her. If her team lost, she would be blamed and shunned by everyone.

However, Giuliana’s plan was destined to backfire.
