They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System Chapter 51 - 51 A Gun!

Chapter 51: A Gun!

Chapter 51: A Gun!

But Ikenna did not reply.

He kept his focus on the road ahead, his jaw tight and his hands steady on the steering wheel.

She continued pleading, “I said slow down!” but he ignored her, his eyes darting to the side mirror every few seconds.

His silence and determination unsettled her even more, but she could tell he wasn’t about to stop.

Through the mirror, Ikenna saw that the black car was still following them, though his sudden acceleration had startled the driver, creating a significant gap between them.

Still, it wasn’t enough.

Whoever was tailing them was persistent.

His mind raced.

Were they after him, or were they after the fifth princess?

Either way, he wasn’t going to let them succeed.

Ikenna drove farther and farther from the heart of the city, taking every possible route to confuse their pursuers.

Eventually, the distance between them grew to the point where the black car beca a speck in the rearview mirror.

For a brief mont, he thought he had shaken them off.

Then, just as they approached the outskirts of the city, a large van sped out of nowhere, screeching to a halt in front of them.

The van blocked the entire road, forcing Ikenna to slam on the brakes.

The car skidded to a stop, the tires screeching loudly.

Nnenna scread, her hands flying up to shield herself.

Cursing under his breath, Ikenna shifted gears, reversing quickly in an attempt to retreat.

But before he could get far, the black car they had been escaping from appeared behind them, swerving into place to block their escape.

They were trapped.

Ikenna’s eyes darted between the two vehicles hemming them in.

At this point, Nnenna realized sothing was wrong.

Fear laced her voice as she asked, “What’s going on, Brother Ikenna?” She glanced at him, her unease growing with every passing second, but he didn’t answer.

Instead, his face was set with grim determination as he reached for the small compartnt under the dashboard.

His movents were deliberate, and his sharp gaze never left the scene outside.

“Get down below your seat,” he instructed firmly, his tone leaving no room for argunt.

Nnenna hesitated, fear rooting her to the spot.

“What do you an get down below my seat?

What are they—” “Now!” he barked, cutting her off as he gripped the compartnt’s handle.

Before he could open it, his eyes caught movent from the car behind them.

The driver’s side door swung open, and a man stepped out, his hands raised in the air.

The man’s gesture was supposed to look harmless, but Ikenna’s instincts scread at him not to trust it.

His jaw tightened as he glanced at the ard n still stationed in the van ahead and the black car behind.

The man approaching was likely their leader, coming forward to negotiate, or distract.

The man’s calm deanor didn’t fool Ikenna.

Every step he took was calculated, his eyes sharp and alert.

Though his hands were raised, signaling that he carried no weapon, Ikenna knew better.

This was no ordinary situation.

“Stay low, Nnenna,” he muttered, his hand still hovering near the compartnt.

His calm voice didn’t betray the storm of calculations running through his mind.

The man stopped so tres away, his hands still up, and spoke in a loud, steady voice.

“We don’t want to hurt anyone.

We just want to talk.” Ikenna didn’t reply.

His sharp eyes scanned the man, noting the subtle twitch in his stance and the tension in his shoulders.

Possibly a distraction.

He glanced toward the van, where he could see the other n gripping their weapons tightly, waiting for their leader’s signal.

Nnenna’s breathing quickened as she tried to peek through the window but decided against it when she rembered Ikenna’s instructions “Who are they?

What do they want with us?” she whispered, her voice shaking.

Ikenna didn’t answer.

Instead, his focus remained on the man in front of him, preparing for what he suspected was coming next.

Ikenna decisively opened the compartnt and pulled out a sleek, black handgun, loading it with practiced precision.

His movents were calm, deliberate, and unwavering as he settled back in his seat, keeping his eyes locked on the side mirror.

The man outside was still walking toward them, his hands raised, his pace slow and steady.

Nnenna, crouched low in her seat, stared at the weapon in Ikenna’s hand.

Her heart pounded, her mind racing with panicked thoughts.

‘Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we’re going to die!’ she thought, her breaths coming faster.

Her fear soon turned bitter.

‘And all of this…

all because I’m part of a family that doesn’t even want ,’ she fud internally.

She felt a deep ache in her chest, the sting of abandonnt adding weight to her already terrified heart.

Her mind spun as she pieced the situation together.

‘They’re most likely after because I’m a royal.

Why else would we be surrounded like this?’ She clenched her fists tightly as anger mingled with her fear.

She glanced at Ikenna, his face as calm as ever, his sharp eyes trained on the side mirror.

He was watching every movent the approaching man made, waiting for the mont he might have to act.

Nnenna couldn’t help but pity him.

He had been so reluctant to bring her out, warning her again and again that sothing could go wrong.

‘He told not to go out,’ she thought, guilt eating away at her.

‘But I didn’t listen.

Now he’s stuck in this dangerous situation because of .’ She realized he was trying to protect her.

But why?

The royal family couldn’t care less about her, they wouldn’t even shed a tear if she disappeared.

She was the unfavored daughter, the one who had only received a single visit from her family in the six months she had spent in the hospital.

Yet, here was Ikenna, risking his safety to shield her at the first sign of trouble.
