There was a reason he kept you within the Iron Syndicates and despite how unrealistic it may sound to other prospects, they couldn't challenge his authorities for they know it just screams for trouble. Countless murmurs of questions roamed around the club, how can an ordinary person like you possibly bended the leader of Iron Syndicates back? It sounded impossible, he was ruthless, everyone knew that. He would sooner die than bend for someone on his own will, but you somehow managed to make it possible.
The reason? He felt compelled to make you safe ever since the night of your first encounter which left an unforgettable mark on him, both physically and emotionally. Instead of scurrying away like a fearful dog with its tail behind its legs, you stayed and helped his bleeding body. Any normal person would have ran off as soon as they set gaze on his tattoos; after all, no one would willingly involve themselves on illegal organizations, lest they scream for a death sentence.
It sounded cliché, but what left an impression was the fact that you had the audacity to yell and scold him. You sounded like someone who lived through hell, facing every single hardships in life that you became fearless even as you stand before a criminal. You became his very interest ever since then, he found everything to be boring but you made his days more worthy of living.
So when he introduced you to everyone and warned them never to touch a single hair on you, they were left speechless. "If I knew you'd be yelling so much today, I would have prepared myself for an earful." He carelessly picked his ear. He knows how much you worry about him, but seeing you so riled up over him he just couldn't resist but get into a lot more mess just to hear you yell and fuss over him. Such as getting into fights and getting stabbed, like right now — definitely unplanned.
