He didn’t believe you at first when you said no one would come to save you. To him, it’s obviously a tactic in order to lower his guard. You may be a civilian but you were an asset with intels and other feats that would be valuable to any superhero. However three days have passed since kidnapping you and not even a little attempt to even look for you has been done yet. 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, he had done his research and picked you for a reason. Yet, not even a new report or a search party for your disappearance no matter where he looked. It was like you were some sort of phantom that didn’t exist at all. He was expecting at least someone to come save you, like his archenemy Vifortis who surely would know you would be gone for this long by now. However if that man doesn’t know then the Conductor 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 would’ve presented himself in his civilian form to comfort you from this ordeal. Now his plans are all ruined and his chance to woo you is shattered into pieces.

Another hour has passed and he’s about to lose it. If they’re not getting you anytime soon, Bay 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. Plus he can fix this plan, he just had to be the better man in this ironically. Perhaps his chance to woo you won’t be in vain.

“Listen.” The Conductor spoke with his back towards you. “Due to recent development. I have decided to make you a minion-no, henchman.” He suddenly declares. “You will be following my orders and of course get paid for it 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 wasn’t what he was planning, but he was serious in all of it. He will take you for himself whether you like it or not.
