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

“I already did all the necessary security installations,” Carl said, his tone firm yet nonchalant.

“I wouldn’t give her a vulnerable phone, you know.” Somto studied him for a moment before nodding.

Since there was nothing left to argue about, the matter was settled, and they all left to join the hunting event.

By the time they arrived, they were just in time to be assigned to their positions.

As soon as Nnenna stepped in with Carl and Somto flanking her, an unspoken tension rippled through the crowd.

Whispers that had begun to form quickly died down.

No one dared to speak against her, not when she was under the protective watch of two powerful figures.

The teams were being divided when the referee hesitated.

He looked at them, his brows furrowed, clearly considering whether to separate them.

But one glance at the expressions on Carl and Somto’s faces made him think twice.

In the end, he simply let them be a team of three, silently saving himself from unnecessary trouble.

With that settled, the hunting officially began.

It was meant to be a casual, leisure filled event where participants could roam freely, so there was no rush.

Everyone scattered in different directions, moving at their own pace.

“Where do you think we should go first, Nnenna?” Carl asked as they stood at the starting point.

She glanced around, noticing that most of the other groups were heading west.

“Well, since everyone’s going that way, I think we should go east instead,” she said thoughtfully.

Somto raised a brow, intrigued by her reasoning.

“Why east?” She shrugged.

“I just don’t want to be part of the crowd.” Carl smirked knowingly.

“Or maybe you just don’t want to deal with all the unnecessary attention?” She didn’t respond, but her silence was answer enough.
