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

Chapter 434: I’m Here

His face was stone, but his aura? Livid.

His head snapped up, sharp like a blade unsheathed.

With swift precision, he grabbed the two people beside him, Nnenna to his left and Ava to his right, and pulled them down behind him, shielding them without a second thought.
