The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 33
Diana’s pov
Many people have already cast their gaze at us, and even those who were originally fighting against the guards have stopped.
After all, with Nathan’s appearance and identity, wherever he went, he was the focus
of the crowd, the most eye–catching being.
And now, he actually proposed to participate in the competition in person.
This was much more exciting than watching unknown racing drivers racing wildly.
A heated discussion came from the crowd–
“Alpha Nathan! Why does he suddenly want to race?”
“Didn’t you hear that? He wants that sapphire brooch.”
“Ah? But Alpha Nathan is so rich. How could he lower himself to participate in a race just for a brooch.
“I know! Do you see the beautiful girl next to him? It seems to be Avia! It must be Avia who wants that brooch, so Alpha Nathan
decided to compete to satisfy her.”
“Oh, by the way, have you heard about it? In fact, at the last auction, the pearl bracelet was still taken by Alpha Nathan. I heard
he spent 800 million on that bracelet to give it to Avia.”
“I’m too shocked. Isn’t this Avia too lucky?”
My thoughts returned to the auction with all the discussions. A sarcastic smile flashed from the corner of my mouth.
So... Was Nathan doing it again for Avia?
I casually glanced at Nathan and asked in a cold voice, “Why should I agree?”
Nathan raised his eyebrows, his eyes teasing.
“It’s just a game. Don’t you dare?”

“Just ignore him.” Victor took my hand and said, “It’s a provocation. Don’t waste time on him.”
Of course I knew this was Nathan’s provocation.
If it were at another time, I might mock his childishness and then pay to take the brooch and leave.
But now, something suddenly reminded me.
“Okay, I agree,” I said calmly, “but I want to increase the bet.”
“Sure,” Nathan didn’t hesitate at all.
“Don’t you ask what the bet is?” I looked at him suspiciously.
“Anything will do,” Nathan said with a faint smile.
“You will lose,” I warned.
Nathan casually curled his lips.
“Okay, the bet I’m going to increase is, if I win, I’ll
“Don’t daydream! You can’t win at all!”
Before I could reveal my bet, Claud jumped out to mock me.
“You want to win Alpha Nathan? That’s a big joke! Since you want to increase the bet, we also need to increase the bet.
“Sure,” I said with a nonchalant expression.

“If we win, you must resign from the hospital tomorrow and publicly admit that you relied on your family background and personal
relationship with William to take the position of director.”
As soon as Claud finished speaking, Nathan’s eyebrows suddenly tightened.
He turned his head as if to say something to Claud, but I interrupted him.
“Okay, I agree.” I chuckled disdainfully, “but at the same time, you must also agree to my bet,”
“What is it?” Claud asked.
I didn’t look at Claud, but instead turned my gaze to Nathan and hooked my finger at him, “Come here.”
Nathan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After a moment, just when everyone thought he wouldn’t listen to me, Nathan walked towards me.
When he was only three feet away from me, he stopped.
“Go ahead,” he said lightly.
“Come closer,” I said.
Nathan had no expression on his face and took another step towards me, narrowing the distance between us to within half of his
arm.
The crowd suddenly resounded with inhaling sounds.
The sound of gossiping came from all directions, like a tide.

I saw Avia’s face turn red with anger, and her lips were about to be bitten apart.
Remembering all the bad deeds she had done, I smiled coldly in my heart. “Can you say it now?” Nathan asked.
“Bow your head,” I continued to demand.
Nathan’s eyes finally flashed a hint of surprise.
But he still followed my words and lowered his head.
When our gazes were almost at the same level, he curved his lips and smiled.
By his ear, I said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, “The additional bet is that if I win, I want you to send someone to
re–examine Avia. And you must do it without her knowing ”
Nathan’s body tightened instantly, and his amber pupils dimmed.
“Are you just telling me this?” He asked.
“What else are you thinking?” I asked back.
“I thought you would have a hot kiss with me, reminiscing about our past,” Nathan said shamelessly.
I pushed him away.
“You’re talking nonsense again.” I chuckled sarcastically. “Your and my past are a darkness. Is there any need to reminisce?”
Nathan stared at me with a heavy gaze, unable to see joy or anger in his eyes.
“Do you agree or not?” I asked.
Nathan remained silent.
Just when I thought he would give up the race because of Avia, he nodded calmly.
“Okay, I agree.”
The organizer quickly ordered people to clean up the scene.

Because my car suffered a serious impact and Nathan didn’t drive a sports car over today, he kindly prepared race cars of the
same specification for us.
The audience resumed betting.
I knew most people bet that Nathan would win.
In previous races, I have always concealed my identity and used fake names.
Therefore, most people didn’t know that the mythical racer who won numerous prizes was me.
In their eyes, I was just an unknown ordinary racing driver.
Choosing Nathan was clearly a more secure choice.
The cheers at the scene were huge.
Nathan and I drove on the track side by side.
With a gunshot, I stepped on the gas pedal and rushed up the mountain path.
And Nathan almost set off at the same time as me.
After several turns, we were still in a state of being side by side.
I have seen Nathan’s driving skills before.
I knew he excelled at this.
But I didn’t expect him to be so skilled.
Obviously, the last time he retained his true strength for safety on the highway.
If we continued like this, it would be difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
For me, the risk would alse increase.
Just as I was thinking, a strong wind suddenly flashed in my ear.
Next, I saw Nathan overtake me after a turn,

His car flew out like an arrow, leaving me behind!
