"Wahhh, my Lady Inca is flattered that Madam knows my name when we have never met?" maxwell said with a probing look.
"I was honored to meet face to face a second time with Mr. Maxwell, a respected member of the underground organization." The Inca statement immediately raised Maxwell's eyebrows.
"We've met?" maxwell asked in disbelief because a respectable woman like the Inca had once entered the underworld, because Maxwell could only be found in such a place. He almost never left the organization he founded so far.
Inka smiled knots and nodded her head to answer Maxwell's question.
Of course I have! Because in the past, you almost killed my husband! inner Inca growled.
Maxwell watched Inca's face intently before laughing out loud.
"Mrs Inca, what lies are you telling?! Obviously we've never met, is it because you're scared so you're bragging?!" maxwell exclaimed with a rough grunt that made the Inca smile again. The Inca presented some facts he knew about the man. Maxwell was surprised to hear the Inca's fully correct exposure.
"Mr Maxwell, if I'm afraid, I wouldn't risk going to this place alone. All right, I'm straight to the point, life for life, the girl you kidnapped in exchange for your daughter in our hands! We already know your movements! So it's better that we work together because the princess you hid from that world, will soon be exposed if you make the wrong choice,
Your beloved daughter can be an easy target for your other enemies. As long as I still make a profitable offer, you better take that chance!" The Inca threatened Maxwell with a casual tone that made the middle-aged man look at the Inca with a look of disbelief.
Maxwell immediately contacted someone to confirm the Inca's words. He looked at the Inca with a watchful gaze. He did not expect that all of this was a trap prepared for him.
"Fuckin' bimantara!" hiss Maxwell clenched his hand. He considered the offer given by the Inca.
"Mr Maxwell, I know you're a wise man. Rather than cooperating with a strong person, wouldn't it be better to cooperate with the strongest?! Bimantara will never win against us! So don't mess with the wrong people!" the Inca gave Maxwell a warning and advice that let him know that the Inca were not boasting.

"Dark!!!" yelled Kanigara, Asher and Niskala. They set off immediately after a call from Gianna saying that the Inca were kidnapped.
Kanigara broke down the door where the Inka might have been held captive. They found the Inca and another man tied up with his hands and feet, and blindfolded and covered his mouth.
"Darling, what are you?!" said Kanigara who immediately opened the blindfold and mouth of his wife. Niskala untied the Inca's hands and feet. Inka immediately hugged Kanigara which made the man hug her back tightly to calm his wife.
Meanwhile, Asher is unbinding the girl who is beside the Inca.
"Mellanie!" asher said softly when he saw the girl's face when the blindfold was opened. After all the ties were released Melanie immediately hugged Asher while crying which made the man sculpt.
"A..., I..., fear, Ash!" melanie said with a trembling body. They took the two girls out of the old building. They felt a little strange because they found no clues in that place, no one even stood guard in the building that was the Inca and Melanie's place of confinement.
Kanigara continued to hug the Inca to calm the still-shaken wife. While Asher was forced to let Melanie continue to wrestle on his arm. He could see the fear in the girl's eyes, which made him unable to tell her fiance away from him.
Thanks to Mr. Maxwell's cooperation, the princess has returned safely to her dorm. You can make sure of it yourself.
Maxwell smiled as he read a short message from the Incas. He has contacted his only puppet daughter who deliberately places him in a dormitory abroad to be safe and avoid the threat of his opponents.
His daughter is the result of his relationship with a dancer at a nightclub when he was still a mercenary. Their relationship didn't last long, but one day the dancer met Maxwell and said she had a daughter from their past relationship.
At first Maxwell did not believe it, but DNA tests they did prove that the woman's words were true. He soon paid the dancer to hand over the daughter to a nanny chosen by Maxwell.
After the dancer handed over their daughter, Maxwell sent the nanny and her baby out of Indonesia to secure her whereabouts. He did not expect the secret he kept for 15 years, could be known by an Inca Alora.

"Can't you go, Ash? I'm still scared!" melanie said softly when she saw Asher would move from the chair next to the ward he was in. Asher sighed heavily, then nodded his head.
"Just until Aunt Remaya comes, understand you! Now tell me the chronology of how you got kidnapped?!" ask Asher who made Melanie's body tremble again. Melanie tried to calm herself down by taking a deep breath and then exhaling.
While squeezing his blanket, he tried to tell him the details of the kidnapping he remembered. Asher listened to Melanie's story in silence, thinking of something.
Why Melanie and Inca? Is this the same person who burned down the building yesterday? Did they know Melanie was my fiancee? inner Asher tried to guess the reason for the kidnapping.
"Asher, could you give me a chance to explain what happened in the past. Please Ash, just this once! Please listen this time!" Melanie feels this is the last chance she has to straighten out any misunderstandings between herself and Asher.
Asher was silent, but he also made no attempt to reject Melanie's request. He looked at Melanie with a stern look. But there was no more hateful look.
Melanie took a deep breath before beginning her explanation. Asher listens to all of Melanie's explanations in silence. The expression that appeared on the handsome man's face, was merely a flat expression. It makes Melanie feel disappointed, because it feels as if Asher is not interested in listening to the explanation at all.
Melanie sighed softly, having finished telling the details of the actual incident.
"I never got touched by Axel. It just teases me. Chelsea paid Axel to do just that, because Chelsea want to keep us apart! Trust me, Ash!" That was Melanie's last word.
Melanie was uncomfortable with Asher's silence. He felt Asher was not at all moved when he heard the honest explanation from him. He squeezed out a blanket that covered half of his body.
"There's something else you want to explain?" ask Asher after a while. Melanie only shook her head weakly as she felt Asher would never open her heart again to the girl.
"Well, then our engagement continues! Now go to sleep, I'll get you!"
