It feels kinda bad reading these kinda loan shark/gangster stories cuz you know they don't care about other people's lives and safety. In most of them, with this kinda love interest, they stay in the business. I know it's supposed to be the "he's mean to everyone but me", but scamming, deceiving, and ruining someone's life is a different level than just" being mean" Obviously, when the character is dislikable in general, even if they dote on the MC in some ways, like this guy, it's less bothersome, since it aligns with his hypocrisy. It's still sad that the MC is so naive and being fooled by a scummy older man.
