Her voice was tinged with a bit of tremble, but she remained fairly composed.
She must have been terrified.
Her life used to be peaceful, but ever since following him, she endured much hardship.
Before, it was he who tormented her, and now, due to his involvement, she was forced to encounter the dark world.
She had asked him once if he was part of the mafia.
He had laughed and indirectly said he wasn't, not lying because he indeed wasn't mafia, but he was the Sect Leader of the Dark Organization!
How could the mafia compare to the Dark Organization.
One is akin to a vicious dog, while the other is the lion of the savannah. The difference in their strength is not on the same level, not even remotely comparable.
He didn't want her to be dragged into his world too soon, at least not until she fell in love with him; he wouldn't let her get involved too much.
He feared she would become timid, would fear him, and would want to flee from him even more.
