I honestly hate it when an author try to add unnecessary romance in this kind of genre (action), but then this little side romance isn't unnecessary at all. The MC have suffered and I believe he deserves someone who can match his freak and that is our matriarch, I love them and loved the author for writing this unique love story. Can't wait to read the rest of the cjapters and see them, especially the MC in action again!
