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

Chapter 288: Exposed Identities Chapter 288: Exposed Identities The man sitting at the center didn’t move at first.

He kept his eyes on the phone in his hand, as if he wasn’t bothered by the world around him.

But then, slowly, he looked up, his gaze sharp and calculating.

He took in the group in front of him, noting their clothing, their posture.

It wasn’t hard to tell they weren’t from around here, not with the way they carried themselves, especially the one speaking to him and the youngest.

“And who the hell are you?” The man’s voice was low, a quiet danger hiding behind his words.

Abuchi took a breath, standing his ground.

He couldn’t afford to let fear show, not now.

“I’m the one who contacted you about the IDs,” he replied, careful not to reveal too much.

He wasn’t about to give away more than he had to, especially not in front of all these eyes.

The man studied him for a moment, then gave a slight nod, signaling to the two boys blocking Abuchi’s path to step aside.

The tension in the room didn’t ease, but the man’s voice cut through the silence.

“You can speak in front of my boys,” he said, his tone still steady, but with a hint of amusement.

The leader leaned back in his chair, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips as he took in Abuchi’s words.

“So, it’s you,” he said, his tone casual but his eyes sharp.

“Alright, have a seat.” With a flick of his hand, he signaled one of his boys to fetch a chair for Abuchi.

But Abuchi shook his head, his expression hard.

“We don’t have time for that.” The leader raised an eyebrow, a slow chuckle escaping him.

“No time?
