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

Chapter 541: Stubborn Girl

This had to be done by her. Win or lose, it didn’t matter, this was her fight.

Lord, help me, Nnenna said silently, folding her fists.

"Begin!" The referee’s sharp voice cut through the arena.

Arthur’s posture changed instantly, he leaned forward in his seat, elbows on his knees, eyes locked on the stage.

Carl stopped mid sentence, his joking expression fading.

Somto’s gaze sharpened, fixed on Nnenna like she was the only thing that existed.

Stephanie didn’t even bother bowing. Instead, she smirked, already stepping forward like this was a chore she wanted to finish.

"She didn’t bow," one of the live stream commentators said, voice laced with faux surprise.

"Guess respect isn’t part of the Knox sibling’s game plan today."

The moment Nnenna moved, Stephanie was already on her, fast, precise, and merciless. The first hit slammed into Nnenna’s ribs, forcing her back a step. She didn’t fall.

"That’s one!" a judge called out, marking the point.

"Too easy," Stephanie thought, circling her like a predator. She doesn’t stand a chance. Why is she even here?

Nnenna braced herself for the next attack.

It came harder. Stephanie’s heel smashed into her thigh. Pain exploded, but Nnenna swallowed the cry.

In the VIP seats, Carl’s hands curled into fists. She’s too fast for her...

"Don’t stop! Keep pressing her, Stephanie!" Nicholas shouted from the sidelines, eyes gleaming with pride forgetting the pain and shame of losing to Nnenna.

Their father, Damian Knox, sat relaxed, arms crossed, watching with the faintest smile. "Good," he murmured. "Show them how it’s done." His tone was cold, no hint of concern for the girl being knocked around. He hadn’t forgotten how Carl had treated his children, and by extension, he blamed Nnenna for it too.

But Elder Knox? His expression was grim. He leaned forward slightly, tapping his cane against the floor. This is unnecessary. She’s already outmatched, Stephanie doesn’t need to humiliate her.
