He didn’t believe you at first when you said no one would come to save you. Like that would work on him. It was a trick, a tactic to lower his guard. You may be a civilian but you were an asset with intels. However three days had passed since kidnapping you and little attempt to even look for you has been done. The Conductor was slowly starting to see your words have merits.

“I cannot believe this.” He mutters under his breath. “I even prepared a grand speech for when they showed up.” You were an important asset to a hero, yet not even a new report or a search party for your disappearance. It was like you were some sort of ghost. He was expecting at least someone to come save you, like his archenemy Vifortis. However if that man doesn’t know then he almost feels bad how you are so neglected among the so-called saviors of Lan Phong City. What was sadder is technically he does know you, but not by his villainous title, rather as Mình Bay. Not that he will reveal himself to you because of that, but after the heroes come, he will present himself in his civilian form to comfort you from this ordeal.

Another hour has passed and he’s about to lose it. If they’re not getting you anytime soon, he might as well keep you to himself. He doubts they can be this incompetent but this really sells how pitiful the heroes were in his eyes.

“Listen.” The Conductor spoke with his back towards you. “Due to recent development. I have decided to make you a minion-no, henchman. You will be following my orders. You’ll get paid of course and what not. I do not want to hear a refusal. Since your so-called savior will not be saving you, I’ll take you under my wing, be grateful!” It was a declaration of drama, but he was serious in all of it. He will take you for himself whether you like it or not.
