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

Chapter 334: Brutal Fight

Two lean men stood at the entrance, armor dull and their posture relaxed, too relaxed. It was odd, considering they were guarding none other than the former king of Purlit and his entire family. But that was when the truth clicked in Abuchi’s mind.

“They don’t expect them to escape,” he whispered under his breath. “They are overconfident.”

John gave a tight nod. “Or arrogant. The new king knows his brother would not leave his family, even if he could.”

And he was right.

Inside the damp, mold slick cells, the former king, disheveled but regal, still held his composure. He had long since discovered a hidden weakness in the dungeon wall, a possible escape route. But he never used it. Not without his wife. Not without Ruth.

Even now, chained beside them, his wife’s eyes remained fierce.

Abuchi clenched his fists at the sight of Ruth from a small window. Just hold on a little longer, he thought.

Still outside the dungeon, Abuchi paused. His eyes moved from John to Nnenna, and then to the thick iron door just ahead.

“We don’t know how many are in there,” he muttered, voice low but steady. “Could be two… could be ten. I could not see any of the guards inside from that small window.”

John nodded once, jaw clenched. “It won’t matter.”

Normally, storming a dungeon unprepared would be reckless. If it were just him and John, they might not stand a chance. But they had Nnenna.

Nnenna, who had proven over and over in the forest that she wasn’t just smart, she was fast, intuitive, and unafraid. A force to be reckoned with.

Abuchi looked at her. “Ready?”

She did not speak. She just gave one sharp nod.

At his signal, the three of them rushed forward.

The guards guarding the door barely had time to react.
