Chapter 41

Jin did not get much sleep last night. His mind keeps replaying everything that happened yesterday. Normally, Jin has no time to think about anything other than his work. Jin usually dismisses it because he has more important things to think about than remembering that one woman who can change her mood in the blink of an eye. 
He is not concerned about Himari. Akito is too concerned about his boss, so he will undoubtedly force her to treat the wound. To be honest, Jin was surprised by Akito's reaction yesterday. As Himari's right-hand man and bodyguard, Akito is understandably concerned about his boss's health and safety. However, his concern for Himari is on another level. 
Jin had previously noticed it. Akito is far too overprotective of Himari. It is no surprise that Himari frequently complains about him acting like a mother hen concerned about her chicks. But he did not say anything because it was not his business in the first place. He is just one of the Tigers' business partners, who also happens to be their boss' boyfriend. 
And Himari...
If Jin tries to analyze her again, he has no idea where to begin. That woman is far more complicated than any labyrinth. There are times like today when Jin wishes he had never met that woman. The term "lunatic" has now become a weak way for him to describe her. 
Following his treatment of Himari's subordinate yesterday, he intended to assist her in facing their enemy alone. Since they attacked his car, it can only be assumed that they had already included him in their fight. Jin was about to step out of the container van when he heard a loud gunshot outside. Another shot went off, and soon after, he heard a man scream loudly.
Jin's memory of what he witnessed last night is still very clear. Himari shot the man three times with no hesitation. She was smiling as usual, but Jin was more concerned with her eyes. He noticed that her eyes were once again filled with bloodlust. It was similar to what happened when the Jaguars kidnapped her. 
Guilt, compassion, and mercy are not common in their line of work. Their lives are always governed by the 'Survival of the Fittest' principle. It is either you kill or get killed. It is unavoidable that blood will spill on one's hands.
But Himari stands out from the crowd for some reason. Jin may be exaggerating, but there are times when he believes Himari is a hollow shell with no heart. Even her occasional smile is flawless and well-executed. Jin might mistake her for a robot if it were not for her warm skin and glossy eyes.
Perhaps this is why he is not as disgusted by her every time she clings to him. Despite her reputation as a crazy woman, Himari is surprisingly neat and well-organized. Her nails are always manicured and well-trimmed, she avoids wearing perfumes with strong scents, and the way she touches his skin serves no purpose other than to irritate him. 
Jin had met hundreds of women in the past. Some of them are seducing him in the hopes that he will accidentally reveal the information they are looking for. The majority of the time, however, women approach him and offer to be his bed warmer for the night. Jin has previously encountered situations in which women attempted to feed him with aphrodisiacs too. 
Even though many people despise him because of his background, there are still those who want his favor. That also applies if you are capable of becoming his wife, in which case she will undoubtedly benefit greatly. Of course, being Jin's life companion means that the Dragons will regard you with respect. She also has access to things that ordinary people cannot do or possess.
Money, power, recognition, and love. These are the things the women truly desire from him. Some people are brave enough to risk their lives in order to satisfy their greed. Though Jin admires their bravery, he also chastises them for their foolishness.
However, Himari is a different case. She already possesses the things that a woman can have. She is a well-known businesswoman who owns a successful restaurant overseas. Even though Jin refused to admit it, Himari is stunningly beautiful and deserving of high society recognition. That woman also wields the ability to control the entire Finrel city.
In terms of feelings, Jin is aware that Himari has no such desires. He does not have the ability to read that lunatic woman's mind, but he is certain that Himari does not want to pursue a feeling known as love. Jin can not explain it well, but Himari is like someone who can give everything without expecting anything in return from those around her. 
Jin can sometimes feel himself becoming more irritated not only with the woman who keeps bugging him, but also with himself. He is constantly annoyed by Himari because she keeps doing things that get under his skin. And the fact that Jin is beginning to show that crazy woman some damn care makes him angry with himself.
"Boss, this is the folder that Bern discovered this morning!" Jack exclaimed loudly as he opened the door to Jin's office.
"Shut up, you idiot. Your voice will disturb all the people in this building." Bern scolded him from behind.
"You're exaggerating!" Jack squawked.
"Lower your voice, Jack." Jin warned him.
"Sorry, boss." Then Jack lowered his head and made a small pout on his lips.
'No wonder Himari refers to him as a puppy.'
Jin shakes his head as he accepts Jack's black folder and opens it. All of Dansel Choi's information is contained in this folder. After the Tigers brought his bleeding body out of the seaport, Jin can only use his imagination to predict what will happen next to that man.
Opening the folder, Jin read the reports about his partnership with the Tigers. Bern's ability to find this type of information is very impressive. The Blue Lions and Silver Tigers began their partnership a year ago. While the Blue Lions are permitted to ship items from Finrel City, the Silver Tigers will own one-fourth of Dansel's land.
