Ethan Herd was well past his reckless days of trying to outdo others in his youth, but this didn't mean he was someone you can mess with.
He had come prepared this time. He had learned how to conceal his strength. He would no longer flaunt all his abilities upfront as he had in the past. The older he got, the less he should draw attention to himself. Like a sword with a blade in plain sight, he found a suitable scabbard to store it. It rarely showed itself, only emerging at crucial moments.
Ethan Herd had been prepared prior to his arrival. Especially after finding out that Gamma Young had kidnapped Scarlett Glenn that night, he had never had a moment of peace in his heart.
He had always thought that he was strong enough to protect Scarlett Glenn. However, he did not expect that many times, he left her trapped.
So, Ethan Herd worried that someone else might harm Scarlett Glenn, and he thus arranged for protection.
