The next morning, the rain had stopped, but the scent of wet earth lingered in the air.
Peerakorn woke in his small room, yet the image of the mysterious man from last night lingered in his mind.
A knock sounded on the door.
"Peerakorn! Are you awake? We have an important meeting today!" his assistant called.
Peerakorn rose reluctantly, his thoughts drifting to Taentine.
"That night… I never thought I'd meet someone like him again," he muttered.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
"It's me… Peerakorn. I'm nearby today. We need to talk about something important."
It was Taentine, his voice calm yet full of authority.
Peerakorn exhaled slowly, realizing his life would never be the same.
As he stepped out of his house, a group of men in black appeared on the street — enemies seeking revenge against Taentine.
But Taentine arrived just in time, a metallic device in his hand glowing red, unleashing steel magic to shield Peerakorn.
"Stay behind me. I won't let anyone hurt you again," Taentine repeated.
Peerakorn met his eyes and sensed the sincerity and power radiating from the tall figure.
A new bond had been forged — the bone surgeon with light magic and the mafia civil engineer wielding steel power must now work together to survive.
