Chapter 301: It Was Quiet Fire Chapter 301: It Was Quiet Fire And in the center… empty waiting for Nnenna.

Would she step forward?

Would she fight?

The air was thick with tension.

The leader’s earlier respect for Abuchi seemed to vanish completely the moment he saw who Abuchi asked to step forward.

A young girl?

His sister?

That was his choice?

He scoffed silently.

How could someone so bold moments ago be so cowardly now?

Abuchi’s friends stood frozen, their voices rising in protest.

“No, Abuchi!

You can’t let her—!” “What are you doing?!” “You said you wanted to protect her!” But Nnenna was done listening.

“I’m tired of all the noise,” she muttered, her voice surprisingly calm amidst the chaos.

Without another word, she stepped forward as an answer to her brother.

Her movement cut through all the noise like a blade.

The crowd fell into silence.

Even the wind seemed to pause.

Her delicate figure, calm and composed, stood before the crowd like a whisper before a storm.

Abuchi let out a deep sigh of relief.

He had feared, truly feared, that she would say no.

That she would refuse to help him, abandon him to the consequences of his choice.

But that fear… was his alone.

He should’ve known better.

Nnenna wasn’t the kind of person to turn away from her family, no matter how badly that family had treated her in the past.

Even now, after everything, she was choosing to protect them.

John and Karen exchanged tense glances.

Their jaws were tight, arms folded across their chests.

“Tch… she’s really going to fight?” Karen muttered under her breath.

“Let her,” John replied with a shrug, eyes narrowed.

“Maybe once she gets hit, she’ll stop being so overconfident.” There was a bitterness in his voice.
