They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 303 - 303 It’s Too Late for Quiet

Chapter 303: It’s Too Late for Quiet Chapter 303: It’s Too Late for Quiet All around them, people who had cheered seconds ago were now stepping back, looking at Nnenna with new, nervous respect.

Some bowed slightly.

Others began whispering.

“Could it really be her?” “I saw her in the papers once…” “I thought she never left Lionara?” Back behind her, Abuchi remained calm, though his eyes glimmered with growing pride.

He hadn’t doubted her for a second.

But now, even he was impressed, she had fought without her hands.

Karen and John, meanwhile, were frozen in a weird mix of awe and regret.

John whispered, “We might’ve been… underestimating her.” Karen gulped.

“By a whole continent.” Ekene, though still tense, couldn’t look away.

“So this… is who she is?” The leader finally stepped forward again, now visibly paler.

“I… I didn’t know.

I didn’t mean to offend…” He gestured weakly, trying to recover his dignity.

“If I had known your identity, we would have never” Nnenna raised an eyebrow.

“Why does my name matter now, when you were ready to capture us five minutes ago?” He opened his mouth but no words came out.

“You said the winner takes all, right?” Her voice was firm, but still calm.

“We won.” Then she stepped back beside Abuchi, who gave her a small nod of respect, something rare and real from him.

The leader hesitated… then did the only thing left to do.

He ordered his men to back off.

The mood among the crew was light, even relieved.

Nnenna walked beside Abuchi quietly, brushing off the attention they were still getting from the crowd.

Phones were still up, people still whispering, but for now, the danger seemed to have passed.

Karen nudged Ekene.

“Still think she needs protection?” Ekene, still brooding, gave a reluctant no.

“No…

Others need protection from her!” They all chuckled, even Nnenna gave a small smile.

But what none of them knew was that the real threat, the one they thought they had shaken, had just found them again.

— Elsewhere, in a penthouse suite on the 15th floor of Golden Hotel… “Sir!” A young man burst through the double doors of the high tech command center.

Obinna’s assistant turned from the window slowly, one brow raised.

The young man handed over a tablet.

“We found something.

Video footage, it’s trending on every major platform.” The assistant tapped play.

There it was.

Nnenna.

Fighting with no hands.

Winning.

Abuchi, clearly visible at her side.

“Sir…” the assistant muttered under his breath.

“That market’s barely 15 minutes from the border.” Obinna’s assistant didn’t say a word.

His jaw was tight, his face pale.

He picked up the phone.

“Get the convoy.

We leave now.” Within minutes, black armored cars with no license plates were speeding out of the underground lot, tires screeching as they turned sharply toward the eastern border.

Inside, orders were flying.

Coordinates set.

Weapons prepped in case there was still danger there.

The hunt had resumed, with even more urgency.

— Back at the border…

The gang leader, now very clearly not the strongest man in the area, bowed slightly before Abuchi and Nnenna.

“I see why you were confident,” he said with a forced laugh.

“I—I apologize again.” Abuchi raised an eyebrow.

“Your apology is as empty as your threats.” The leader winced at the comment.

But this time, he didn’t dare argue.

He signaled to his men, and they turned to leave.

As they walked away, the market, usually a place of quiet dread when those gangsters were around, burst into laughter.

A woman selling mangoes cackled so hard she almost dropped her basket.

“Ah ah!

So the lion can purr after all!” A meat seller chimed in.

“He used to charge us ‘market tax’ every morning.

Look at him now.

Walking like a whipped dog!” The crowd’s jeers followed the gang out of the marketplace like a parade of poetic justice.

Back with the crew, Abuchi finally exhaled.

“We need to move fast.

We’ve been too exposed.” “Where to now?” Karen asked, glancing behind them.

“We still have to get across the border, right?” Abuchi nodded, glancing at the hills beyond.

“Yes.

But now we go quiet.

No more flash.” But Nnenna spoke up softly, “It’s too late for quiet.” They all turned to her.

She did not say more.

She didn’t have to.

They all knew the truth, the world had seen her.

Their location was out.

And someone, somewhere, was already coming.

Ding!

“You fought with grace and earned everyone’s admiration, multiple respect and of course, envy.

You earned 20 good points!” The notification chimed just as Abuchi spoke up.

His smile was still wide, proud.

“We did it though,” he said, his voice carrying a mix of relief and triumph.

“Indeed,” Ekene replied with a quick nod, though his eyes were scanning the area.

“But we should really be on our way.

We’ve made enough noise here.” “That’s true,” Abuchi agreed.

“But we still don’t have the supplies we came for.” “Exactly,” Karen added with a frown.

“The food… we can’t leave without them.” “Here.” The group turned around at the sound of the soft voice, surprised to see a young girl standing behind them, arms full.

She held out several bags, everything they had been trying to buy earlier.

“These are the things you needed.” “You…” Abuchi blinked.

“You bought them?” “Yes,” she nodded.

“I paid for them all.” The girl smiled, her eyes still shining from the excitement of everything she had just witnessed.

“That girl, uhm the princess who fought that man, she was amazing.

She’s motivated me.

I’ve decided I want to learn martial arts too.” Abuchi smiled at her warmly.

“That’s really nice to hear.

I’m glad we could inspire you.” Nnenna stepped forward too, giving the girl a gentle smile.

“Thank you for the things.

I’m happy I could be an inspiration to you.” The girl’s cheeks turned slightly pink as she nodded.

She looked like she was about to run off, too shy to linger, when Abuchi suddenly stopped her.
