A few hours later. Emily finally came to her senses. She slowly opened her eyes, but she still felt dizzy.
"You're awake. I'm sorry, I still tied your hands. Because right now, I want you to help me."
Emily saw her hands were tied with rope. Even so, she remained silent.
Although vague, she understood that the one who had spoken earlier was indeed a man.
Until..
The man approached Emily, but strangely..
"Do you.. remember me?"
The man's eyes looked like, sad..
At first glance, Emily saw the man. Even though it was faint, she felt as if she had met this man somewhere.
"Surely you don't remember, do you? I know that. They put you under such intense mental pressure, that it makes it hard for you to speak. You don't need to force yourself. Let me tell you this."
Suddenly the man hugged Emily, even though her hands were still tied.
"I was the one who secretly helped you get out of the people who had kidnapped and treated you so heinously. Before your cousin finally found you."
( Could it be that he is? )

Flash back

At that time the situation was very chaotic, Emily tried to run after she saw several people who were cooped up with her died horribly.
One by one, they are killed by the kidnapping syndicate.
Even those among them were killed before her eyes, no matter what the situation was. Or how cornered the situation is.
But while she was running scared, she accidentally bumped into someone who happened to be passing by. A young man wearing a black coat with a guitar bag on his back. Unfortunately, she kept running scared without saying sorry to the young man.
She didn't realize that while she was running, some people who were chasing Emily at that time had been secretly killed by someone. Don't know who or where it came from.
Because she was still afraid, she had to hide in a fairly narrow alley.
She wanted to cry.
But if she cried, she was worried that she would be caught and tortured again by them.
When she was crying, or enduring pain in her body.. she was trying hard to survive.

Meanwhile..
"Sir! We lost contact with Emily Clyra. All the Alpha team passed out without anyone getting hurt. Looks like someone has kidnapped her. I'm sure that person is not just anyone. Also, just now we received a report.. Brian disappeared. Only ropes were found.."
Hearing this, he became silent. Somehow, what he was worried about became real, as if it was happening again.
The terrible memories that used to take the lives of his family before he met and were appointed as a new family.
"Track him whereabouts. With his weak body, and the effects of the anesthetic... he shouldn't be far from this location. Also, find out where Emily is. She must have been taken somewhere, for whatever reason."
"Yes sir!"
They rushed and went into search mode.
It was hard to believe, he didn't expect that the situation had started to get even more confused.
(Could it be, you're worried about Emily? That's why you forced your body to look for her. You sure are my desperate little brother. However, if Emily is currently being taken by him... I guess I'll have to step in for negotiations. Don't hurt them. Dave!)
