They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System-Chapter 69 - Dangerous Fugitive
Chapter 69: Dangerous Fugitive
Chapter 69: Dangerous Fugitive
His jaw clenched.
‘Stupid!’ He cursed himself inwardly.
‘I was so stupid!’
Glancing sideways, he saw Ikenna standing there, calm and collected.
Another squad member was positioned behind the door, gun trained on him.
He had been played.
And there was no way out.
It was all planned!
Reuben’s face twisted in deeper realization, and Ikenna couldn’t help but smirk at him.
The man had finally figured it out, but it was already too late.
Within minutes, Squad 3 restrained Reuben, securing his hands tightly behind his back.
One of the men called local law enforcement while another contacted an ambulance.
Their job here was done, and lingering any longer was unnecessary.
They left as quickly as they came after dressing Nurse Courage’s wound.
Nurse Courage and the other girl remained behind, their presence ensuring there would be witnesses when the police arrived.
As the car sped away, blending into the night, Nnenna sat in silence, her mind racing.
She had seen Nurse Courage sitting outside, Reuben tied up like a captured beast, and another girl sitting in a daze.
But before she could fully process everything, the vehicle had already pulled onto the expressway, leaving the scene behind.
Still, relief flooded her chest.
Nurse Courage was finally safe.
Just then
Ding!
A familiar chime echoed in her ears, confirming what she already knew.
Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others.
You helped Nurse Courage escape from her terrible fiancé and went even further to save her life, along with another girl’s.
You have earned 200 good points for the first, and 100 good points for the second!”
Ding!
“You played a key role in taking down Reuben, a dangerous individual, by caring about someone, following up, and providing accurate information.
You have earned 10 good points!”
Ding!
“You gained Director Ikenna’s trust by being right about the situation and following his instructions without hesitation.
You have earned 50 good points!”
Ding!
“You assisted law enforcement in capturing a highly elusive fugitive, Mr.
Rick Stone, who had changed his identity to Reuben Joriaky.
You have earned 300 good points!”
Nnenna’s heart pounded as she processed the words.
Every action she had taken, every choice she had made, it had all led to this moment.
She hadn’t just saved lives.
She had helped put a criminal behind bars.
Her fingers tightened into fists, emotions swirling inside her.
Relief.
Triumph.
A strange, growing sense of purpose.
She wasn’t just surviving anymore.
She was making a difference.
More chimes followed, but for the first time in months, Nnenna didn’t find the Love System’s voice annoying.
Ding!
“The prudent think carefully before they act.
You lacked a solid explanation for how you knew about the situation, raising suspicions and attracting unnecessary attention from people who will likely investigate.
You have lost 100 good points!”
Nnenna winced.
That was true.
She had been reckless, and now there might be consequences.
Ding!
“Learn to do good, seek justice, correct the ruthless, and defend others.
Because your information was accurate and showed genuine concern, you impressed the members of Squad Three who heard how insistent you were about the matter.
You have earned 50 good points!”
Uhm??
Squad what?
Nnenna wondered.
But it didn’t matter at the moment.
A small sense of pride flickered in her chest.
At least she had done somethings right.
Ding!
“You caused Nurse Courage unnecessary emotional and physical distress by not following up on the mission properly.
You have lost 40 good points!”
Nnenna bit her lip, her excitement fading.
She hadn’t thought about that part properly.
Nurse Courage had suffered again because she didn’t handle things well enough.
Her fingers clenched.
She hated losing points, but this wasn’t about numbers anymore.
Next time, she needed to do better.
A final chime rang in her ears, the one she had been dreading for almost a month.
Ding!
“1,000 good points have been deducted for your second month life extension.
Would you like the deduction to happen at the end of the month or the beginning?”
Nnenna blinked, startled.
‘Wait… I have a choice?’
She thought it through quickly.
If the points were deducted at the beginning, she would always know where she stood.
If at the end, she might get caught off guard.
She shook her head.
“I prefer the beginning of the month.”
“Understood.” The Love System’s voice remained neutral.
“Please be reminded that you need another 1,000 good points for your third month life extension… in less than two days.”
Her entire body stiffened.
“What?!
You didn’t tell me it would start again this month!
Can I change my choice?”
“No.
You can’t.”
Then, silence.
Frustration hit her like a wave.
She buried her head against her knees, screaming internally.
‘This stupid system!’
Ikenna glanced at her, noting the distress on her face.
He assumed she was still shaken from the whole ordeal, so he gave her space to process everything.
When Nnenna finally calmed down, a detail from the Love System’s message nagged at her.
Mr.
Rick Stone… a highly hidden fugitive?
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
Her stomach twisted.
This man was far worse than she had thought.
In her previous life, Nurse Courage had died without ever knowing that the man she loved, the one she had dated for years and married, was a wanted criminal.
Not just any criminal, but someone dangerous enough to require an identity change.
And the fact that she had earned 300 good points for his capture?
That meant Reuben, or rather, Rick Stone, was an extremely dangerous and well hidden fugitive.
For the system to reward that many points, his arrest must have had a significant impact.
The realization sent chills down her spine.
As soon as she returned to the hospital, she dragged Ikenna along, determined to see Four, her good points bank.
She came up with a terrible excuse, one so unconvincing that it only made Ikenna even more irritated.
Is she seriously falling for that block of ice?
Annoyed but also aware that she was still shaken from the earlier events, Ikenna reluctantly accompanied her.
