They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 28: Words Are Weapons

The system sighed dramatically, as if disappointed by her insistence. "Fine. Task initiated."

A notification chimed, and the system continued

"In a multitude of words, there is definitely one wrong one. Sometimes, it's best to remain silent."

A subtle pause followed before another chime echoed

"150 good points deducted."

Nnenna barely flinched at the loss of points. It was worth it. She glanced at Ebere, whose smug demeanor didn't waver, completely unaware of the invisible strings now working on her.

A small, satisfied smile tugged at Nnenna's lips. 'You talk too much, Ebere,' she thought inwardly, her composure remaining flawlessly serene.

The others in the room noticed her slight change in expression but brushed it off, assuming it to be her natural reaction to her "sister's" relentless chatter.

Meanwhile, the mechanism she had just set in motion was already beginning to unfold.

Barely a minute after Nnenna activated the system's feature, Ebere, who had been speaking confidently and almost condescendingly, suddenly paused mid sentence.

Her expression twisted into one of confusion, as if her mind was suddenly at odds with her mouth. She opened her lips to continue, but no words came out.
