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

Chapter 577: Will Somebody Freaking Help Me Already?!”

They had seen Rick discipline men twice his size with a single blow, and now he could not shake off a girl who barely reached his shoulder.

"Wait, did she just... flip him over with one hand?!" someone gasped, almost choking.

"Oh heavens, she’s smiling! Why is she smiling while punching him?!"

"It’s terrifying! But... also kind of... impressive?"

"Don’t be deceived. Head Trainer Rick is just letting her have her fun."

"That’s probably true."

"I agree. Those punches look so soft."

The lobby trembled with half suppressed laughter at the show Rick was probably putting on for Nnenna and anxious murmurs from those who believed Nnenna’s punches were real, all eyes glued to the absurd but frightening spectacle of their head trainer helpless under the princess’s fists.

"Uhm s–ouch, s-sir!" Rick wheezed between punches, trying to squeeze out some explanation.

But Daniel cut him off sharply, raising a hand. "It’s alright, Rick. I will back you up later. His Highness can’t possibly not believe us, and look, all these witnesses are here. Don’t hold back." His voice was cold, steady, dripping with authority.

Rick froze, a punch landing squarely on his shoulder. Back me up later? Don’t hold back? What nonsense was Captain Daniel talking about?!

A few minutes crawled by, each one dragging like a century. Rick, who had thought his savior had finally arrived, grew more dumbfounded with every second.

I am literally being beaten to a pulp and he’s telling me to show no mercy? His thoughts burned with fury. Doesn’t he see this is a one sided massacre? She is not even breathing hard!

What made it worse was the illusion Nnenna had created. To the others, it looked like she was simply tossing out light, almost playful punches with her small wrists. To them, Rick’s yelps were overly dramatic, almost a performance to appease the princess.
