Chapter 300 - 300 What Were They Seeing

Chapter 300: What Were They Seeing?

Chapter 300: What Were They Seeing?

The leader folded his arms, chuckling under his breath.

“What’s this?

The law of the jungle?

I thought you were from a polished kingdom, civilized, refined, pampered.

And now you’re talking about jungle law?” His men chuckled behind him.

Abuchi stared him down.

“Even the jungle has rules,” he said calmly.

“And one of them is clear, the winner takes it all.” The leader tilted his head thoughtfully, his grin spreading.

“Interesting… I like that.

Alright then.

We’ll play your little game.” Behind him, his men stepped back slightly, their attention turning to a tall man with a scar running down the side of his jaw.

Broad shouldered and stoic, he looked like someone who crushed rocks with his bare hands for breakfast.

“That’s your guy?” Abuchi asked.

“No,” the leader replied.

“That’s my warm up act.

But we’ll save him for another day.

I’ll give you someone special.” Abuchi’s friends looked uneasy.

“This is insane,” Karen muttered.

“We should be fighting together.” Ekene was already flexing his fists, itching to jump in.

But then he saw Abuchi give them a look.

That look.

It was not pride.

It was not arrogance.

It was calm, serious… protective.

They all understood in that instant, he was not doing this because he wanted glory.

He was doing it to protect them.

If the fight stayed one on one, he could shield the rest from further harm.

The chosen fighter from the leader’s crew stepped forward, broad shouldered, towering, and clearly a beast in battle.

The crowd tensed.

This was not someone a regular person could go toe to toe with and walk away unscathed.

Even a professional fighter wouldn’t be so sure of victory unless they were really strong and confident.

All eyes naturally turned to Abuchi.

He had to be the one, right?

But then, he did something no one expected.

He turned to a young girl standing just behind him.

“Nnenna…” his voice was quiet but steady, his tone respectful.

“Little sis… I feel ashamed to ask you this.

I’m supposed to protect you as your older brother, but I don’t think I can win this one.” People blinked, confused.

What was he saying?

What were they seeing?

There must be something wrong with the way we opened our eyes, the crowd concluded.

Abuchi went on, not caring about the growing confusion or the murmurs in the crowd.

“Could you please stand in for me?” he asked softly, his eyes fixed on Nnenna’s.

“Just this once.” The leader “…” The crowd “???” John “???” Karen “???” Ekene “.?!” Nnenna “…” Silence.

Utter silence.

It was as if the entire world had frozen for a second.

Did he just ask a girl to fight for him?

No, wait.

Did he say sister?

Karen’s jaw dropped.

John’s eyebrows nearly shot off his forehead.

Even Ekene blinked like his brain had short circuited.

“Abuchi… what are you doing?!” John asked, stepping forward, still processing.

Abuchi didn’t even glance at him.

His eyes remained on Nnenna.

“What do you think I’m doing?” he said calmly.

“I’m choosing someone who can win this fight.” “Then don’t call her your sister!” Karen hissed.

“You’ve been so protective of her this whole time, and now you’re throwing her into a fight?!” Before Nnenna could even say anything, Ekene stepped in fast, furious.

“No, you can’t,” he snapped.

“Didn’t you say she needed to be protected at all cost?

That she must never be in danger?” He clenched his fists, his voice thick with emotion.

“Why are you doing this now?

Don’t tell me… you still hate her like you used to!” His words didn’t surprise Nnenna.

Her lips parted slightly.

That was indeed the case previously but it’s different now.

“I thought you said things would no longer stay the way they were before!” Ekene snapped, his voice shaking with a mix of disbelief and emotion.

“That you were finally accepting her… So why are you doing this now?!” His words hit like a slap in the air.

Everyone froze, John, Little Sweetie, Karen… even Abuchi himself.

Abuchi opened his mouth, but no words came out at first.

He didn’t know how to convince them that Nnenna was really capable.

Ekene wasn’t done.

“No.

I won’t let you.

I won’t let you do this to her.” There was something strange in his voice, too intense to be simple righteousness.

Was it anger?

Was it care?

Was it something… deeper?

The others sensed it too.

Something more was going on here, but none of them could quite put their finger on it.

John narrowed his eyes.

“I’ve always known something was off.

Since the grand ball.

What happened in those days… most of us suspected it.

The competitions Nnenna won, they were all pretense.

I know she’s cocky, but don’t hurt her because of that.” He stepped closer to Abuchi.

“Your eldest brother might kill you if he finds out what you did.

If he finds out you placed her in danger.

You think she is brave?

She is suicidal!” Karen nodded solemnly.

“Brother Abuchi… don’t do this.

This isn’t the way.” She looked toward Nnenna, who still stood there, calm as ever.

Abuchi finally exhaled.

“You guys don’t understand…” he said quietly.

“It’s not what it looks like.

I—” But before he could finish, the leader of the gang let out an annoyed sigh and stepped forward.

“If she’s the one fighting, then I must have really misjudged your character,” he said sharply, cutting through the moment like a blade.

The people behind him muttered in disbelief.

Some laughed.

A girl?

But the leader’s eyes were deadly serious.

“Since you picked her… let her come forward.

You can’t change fighters anymore.” He turned slightly to the side, signaling to his champion.

“Let’s get this over with.” The crowd gasped again.

Things were moving fast.

Too fast.

All the whispered warnings, the unspoken emotions, the internal doubts, none of it mattered anymore.

This was real.

The crowd split open, forming a wide circle again.
