'my point exactly, ainz consider nfirea as a VIP because of his rare adn dangerous talent, not his alchemy, also its not nfirea who's the hostage, its more like its lizzy and enri, its not like ainz gonna kill them but he's protecting them and showing it off to keep nfirea indebted in gratitude and loyalty. '

'even if he doesnt find a use for nfirea, keeping him under the protection of nazarick is enough for ainz. '

Uh, huh... Even Lizzie understood the situation when Ainz laid out the situation during the zombie outbreak. Ainz would only help Lizzie if she would give him all that she can provide but the other side of the bargain is that he can rot somewhere if she said no. That's what we are shown. She was shocked but she knew he was after something but her grandchild means more than anything to her.

However, his actions of cutting through the zombie outbreak and destroying a branch of Zurrernorn with just a team of small number also showcased the power he possesses to be able to get to Nfirea despite what she could cook up because just like how he saved Nfirea, he can easily kill him if the situation is reversed. His massacre in volume 9 would have proven that even a country would stand no chance of protecting Nfirea when facing him.

Nfirea and Enri both worship Ainz like the divine in the flesh but Lizzie has already shown that she is wary of Ainz in some way but the case Ainz can actually provide more than anyone could ask for and that includes the protection for her precious grandchild means that he's still the best employer out there. Give and Take at its finest.

Now that Enri and Nfirea are both married, their situation would require less of a "I have your precious" situation because the two are already head over heels for Ainz because of his actions. Still, I doubt they would matter much when the well being of Nazarick is in question. You say Nfirea is not a hostage but I say he's all kind of hostage that affects various people. You might be looking too much at the good things Ainz showed.
