Nala's eyes widened with surprise as she gazed at him.
"I have something really tasty with me. Are you feeling hungry?" Drake asked.
Nala firmly shook her head and started to retreat, but Drake swiftly blocked her path.
"Hey, don't go. Stay right there!" He held onto her with a tight grip. "Um... Your mom actually sent me to find you!"
Nala hesitated for a moment upon hearing it was her mother. "Is it really her?"
Drake continued, weaving his tale. "Didn't she just dash off suddenly? She told you to wait here, didn't she?"
"Yes..."
"That's correct!" Drake beamed. "Little one, if you leave like this, what if your mom can't find you?"
"She knows where to find me. I'll just play here for a bit and then head back to the lobby!"
"Oh..." Drake glanced around. "I know that lobby. I'll take you there!"

"I'm truly a friend of your mother's. If you don't go back, she'll be anxious when she can't locate you, right?"
"Okay, I'll go back!" she said.
Drake lifted Nala onto his shoulder.
Nala instinctively cried out, but he covered her mouth before she could make a sound!
No matter how she struggled, she was no match for an adult man. Drake clenched his fist and struck Nala on the
back of her head, causing her to faint, and her doll fell to the ground.

Alexander arrived at the hotel, familiar with its layout, planning to extort more money from Drake. He didn't expect
to find an unconscious little girl in the room.
"W-What's happening here?" he asked.
"It's an adult matter! Don't get involved!" Drake was drenched in sweat.
Carrying Nala earlier, he had to evade security and staff all the way. He couldn't carry her on his shoulder, so he
had to act as if he was carrying his own child to fool everyone. Being a kidnapper and transporting a child had
drained him.
Alexander gave him a skeptical look but then turned his attention to the little girl on the couch.
He recognized the lovely dress and the delicate face...
He couldn't help but murmur her name, "Nala?"
"What's going on? Do you know her?" Drake asked roughly.
Alexander bit his lip and stayed silent.
"You little troublemaker, don't make things difficult for your old man. Got it? This kid is worth a lot of money!"
After the threat, Drake promptly called Bianca.

"Yes, yes, it's all under control... Ms. Bianca, I've got the child here. I assure you you'll be pleased with this girl!
"The child is in my room right now, but I'm feeling uneasy... Give me the address, and I'll bring her over
immediately!"
Alexander's heart raced as he silently sat on the couch, shielding Nala behind him.
Then, he heard a sinister chuckle from the phone. The room was pin-drop silent, making the laughter sound
particularly eerie.
"Excellent!" Bianca's voice reverberated through the spacious room. "Securely wrap up the child. When you exit the
room, hug the wall to your right. There's a blind spot in the surveillance there! Then, go downstairs through the
backyard. A van will be waiting there. Get in with the child!"
Drake repeatedly agreed and hung up, preparing to follow the instructions. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed him.
"W-What are you doing?" He glared at Alexander.
"Dad, you wouldn't... be planning to sell this girl, would you?" Alexander asked nervously.
