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

Chapter 433: Trying to Assassinate Her?

The boldness collapsed.

Jana’s eyes flew open. Her lips parted in horror.

What have I done?

What have I done?!

The realization hit her like a slap. Her breath caught in her throat as she watched the arrow hurtle toward its target.

Nnenna, completely unaware of the danger, stood perfectly still. She was too focused, too immersed in refining her technique. She didn’t even feel the shift in the air as the arrow sliced through it.

She didn’t see the horror widening in Arthur’s eyes from behind.

She didn’t hear the gasps erupting across the practice ground.

She was seconds, no, heartbeats, away from being struck.

Just as Nnenna steadied her arm for another shot, a blaring siren exploded in her head.

DING! DING! DING!

“Incoming danger! Incoming danger!

Do you consent to spending 2000 Good Points to protect your life?”

Her heart slammed into her ribs. The sudden alarm nearly made her drop her bow.

What?!

But the tone of the message, the urgency in the system’s voice, she wasn’t joking.

Whatever was coming… was deadly.

She didn’t hesitate another second.

“I consent!” she shouted in her mind, the words escaping almost as a reflex. Her body snapped into alert mode, the kind of instinct she never knew she had suddenly taking over.

As soon as she gave her consent, a strange energy wrapped around her, soft but firm, like invisible arms preparing to move her.

She gulped, trying to stay calm.

Her thoughts raced:
