The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

After Nathaniel brought Mango out, he found a secret spot to hide. However, Mango looked at the room where Priscilla was in with a worried expression and asked, "Are they really going to be alright?" Although she hoped that Priscilla could find a lover and not covet her husband anymore, she was still worried about Priscilla.

After all, relationships were complicated, so you couldn't just pick someone to spend the rest of your life with as both of you probably wouldn't get along. Well, Mango still hoped that Priscilla could find her love. However, Nathaniel said softly, "The way Tristan looks at Priscilla is different. I think he likes her. Also, I asked Uncle Mateo about Tristan, and he said that Tristan is someone we can trust. Alas Priscilla has been suffering all these years, so I hope that she can find her own happiness."

"But will Tristan do anything to her?"

When Mango thought about the aphrodisiac that Tristan had mentioned, she felt a little worried.

"Don't worry. Tristan won't do anything so immoral. Well, he'll probably scare her a little, though. After all, Priscilla has been living a relaxed life all this while, and she has the support of Baxter Alliance. Hence, she thinks too highly of herself, so I'm glad someone can teach her a lesson."

Well, well. Nathaniel was quite optimistic about this.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Mango looked at Nathaniel as she questioned him, but she already guessed what was going on.

However, Nathaniel said with a smile, "Hmm, did you become her close friend? What's wrong? Aren't you worried that someone will steal your husband away?"

"Urgh! You definitely did it on purpose!"

Mango exclaimed as she ignored what Nathaniel had said. Then, she turned around and looked at the situation outside while her eyes narrowed slightly. "Hey, Bernard left his seat."

Nathaniel's expression also became solemn when he heard what Mango had said.

"Stay here and don't move. Let me take a look at what's going on."

"No, I want to go with you. Hah! I know that you want to complete this mission alone, but both of us are aiming for Bernard right now." Mango grabbed Nathaniel's hand as she said this.

On the other hand, Nathaniel could only look at Mango helplessly and compromise with her.

"Okay, but you have to listen to me."

"Urgh! I've always listened to you!"

Mango muttered. Thus, Nathaniel couldn't help but glance at her cute expression, even though he had already seen it so many times.

He held Mango's hand and quietly followed behind Bernard.

Bernard walked towards the back of the hall. However, he started moving further away as he entered a desolate and remote area. Thus, Mango and Nathaniel began to become more alert. "Mango, listen to me. When we're turning round that corner later, you should find a place to hide. After all, I think the Bernard knows that we're following him."

Well, Mango thought the same too.

This time, instead of arguing with Nathaniel, she decided to obey his orders and disappeared when they had turned around the corner.

On the other hand, Bernard frowned when he noticed that Mango had disappeared behind him. Finally, he stopped at an empty space not far away.

This spot was empty, and there was no place to hide at all. Thus, Nathaniel subconsciously hid behind the pillar before hearing Bernard sneer and say, "Come out."

Once Nathaniel heard what Bernard had said, he walked out calmly.

"What should I say then. It's been a while since we last met, so how have you been?"

After all, Bernard and Nathaniel had been secretly fighting for some time. Therefore, it had been a while since both of them could talk face to face.

"When did you notice us?"

Nathaniel asked calmly without showing any signs of panic.

Meanwhile, Bernard looked at Nathaniel again. His father and uncle had always tried to harm Nathaniel, but the latter had escaped their clutches repeatedly. Thus, he had to admit that Nathaniel was indeed an intelligent man.

However, this talented man was currently his enemy, so it was not a good thing.

"I noticed you the moment you entered Lebanon's room. Also, both of you were the ones who saved Mckenzietoo, right?" "So what if you're correct?"

Well, Nathaniel's guess was indeed correct.

It seemed that the infrared beam was indeed high-level technology. However, Nathaniel didn't expect Laborn to use the military security system to monitor his own people. Hence, he had accidentally exposed Mango and his existence. Thus, he felt a little comforted as Mango was not with him right now.

When Bernard heard what Nathaniel had said, he smiled faintly. After all, he would rather deal with Nathaniel than talk to Prestin, who was an idiot.

Then, he calmly took out a cigarette and lit it, and he even handed one to Nathaniel.

"Do you want one?"

"Nah, I just quit."

Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked around and thought that Bernard had laid an ambush here. However, he didn't see anyone, and there were only the both of them here.

Hehl Bernard was a bold man indeed.

"Wow! I can't believe that you're brave enough to meet me alone! Aren't you worried that I will kidnap you now?"

"Nah, you won't do that."

Bernard smoked a cigarette and replied calmly. Then, he pointed to a stone beside him and sat

down first.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn't hesitate either and sat down after walking over.

Now that Nathaniel was looking at Bernard closely, the latter seemed quite similar to Laborn. However, he looked like an ordinary child because of his mother's genes. However, it didn't mean that he was not powerful just because he didn't have an outstanding appearance. Well, if Bernard was doing all this for the greater good, he could've helped many people. What a pity indeed!

When Bernard saw that Nathaniel was observing him, he did not stop him. Instead, he said indifferently, "In fact, you are pitiful, and so am I. After all, Isla framed you. However, you had someone to protect you when you were growing up, but what about me? I have a father and a mother, but I've lived as an orphan who had to even hide my own surname! You were the heir to the great Ye family, so you didn't have to worry about survival when you were young. However, when I was a child, I had to fight and compete with other people just for food and water, and sometimes, I would walk away with wounds covering my body Hence, I've lived a more pitiful life than you, Nathaniel Ye."

"Nah, it's not the same. Everything that happened to me was plotted by your father and uncle. I could have had a warm family and a blisful life, instead of being trapped in this ridiculous fight. However, I lost all of it because of you! You had a hard life because of your father and uncle too, but you've reaped what you've sown. If you hadn't been this evil, you could've been one of the princes, so you wouldn't live such a harsh life! Thus, you should blame your father and Laborn for this!"

Nathaniel said mercilessly.

Bernard was stunned for a moment after hearing what Nathaniel had said, and then he sneered before saying, "Heh! I don't think you've come to talk things out and reconcile with me, right?" "Reconcile? You have done so many wrong things, so how can I talk things out with you? Let's ignore my personal feelings first, but I can't allow you to escape the punishment of the law because I'm a soldier! Well, you might've found out your real identity now, but you're still a citizen of Z Country! Hence, you've broken the law, and what you've done is a great sin. Now, you think that you've returned to the country and your hometown. However, let me tell you the truth. Bernard Gaylord, you are a criminal that has betrayed your country, so no one can forgive your sins! My mission is to bring you back to our country and let the law determine your fate. We will make sure that the law punishes you for what you have done.

After all, Nathaniel had his principles as well. Furthermore, Bernard needed to pay the price for what he did to Mango, the Xiao family and the Hans family.

Bernard's eyes turned cold after hearing what Nathaniel had said.

"I thought that I could have a good talk with you. Furthermore, if you were willing to let me go, I would've allowed you to become one of the ministers of Angolla. Don't you want to rethink your decision?" Nathaniel suddenly laughed when he heard Bernards offer.

"Haha! Does a minister have a lot of authority here? Based on my knowledge, I know that the king has to agree to it before you can appoint a new minister. Well, do you think that Laborn will allow me to become one of the ministers of Angolla?"

"Him? Hehe! It doesn't matter."

Bernard sneered and continued saying, "Urgh! He was the one who caused my grief. He said that he would compensate for me and my father, but what can he do to make up for everything that my father and I have lost over the years? My father could have been a prince. Furthermore, he could've been someone that everyone respected in his country, but he abandoned his identity and became Augustus. Alas! He even asked my mother to serve a person like Kolton. No matter what his purpose was, he shouldn't make use of our family like this. The three of us have been used by him all the time, so I don't think he deserves to be the king of this country indeed."

After hearing what Bernard had said, Nathaniel seemed to have caught onto something. It appeared that Bernard was really planning to usurp the throne!"

"But your father did all this willingly, didn't he? After all, he sacrificed this much because both he and Laborn wanted the mine in my country! So, why do you think that things are so unfair?" "What? Who told you that my father did all this willingly? Laborn was the one who forced him to do all this! Before I was born, the doctor in the palace found out that I was a boy. Thus, Laborn forced my father to leave by using my life. Therefore, my father had no choice but to give up his authority and go to Z Country to search for the mine. Also, what happened after I was born? He asked someone to send me to Z Country because he wanted to use my mother! Furthermore, he told my mother that she could only find me if she went to Z Country, so she gave up her position and went there too. If he had not schemed all this, our family would have never been separated! Now, my mother is dead, but she never met my father again before she died. Also, because of what Laborn did, my father never got to return to his home country! Now, he's trying to tell me that he wants to pay us back for what he has done? What can he do? Does he think that he can pay us back by giving us some money and wealth? My father and mother were the ones who had built up Angolla! If my father had not worked hard to give him the money he had found, could he still be the kind of Angolla? Once my father finds out how to enter the mine, we will no longer need Laborn! Besides, I won't spare any of his children either, including Lebanon Fang!"

When Bernard mentioned Lebanon's name, he was enraged.

After all, that b*stard had stabbed his mother repeatedly, so he had to get revenge for her. In fact, he would do the same thing to Lebanon because he wanted the latter to feel what his mother had gone through!

After hearing what Bernard had said, Nathaniel wanted to laugh.

Naha! Was this what Laborn meant when he said that he loved his siblings?

Alas! Once a person had given up on his principles, he could do anything evil without thinking about it.

Right now, Bernard was determined to get revenge on Laborn. However, who knew whether Laborn was not trying to get rid of Bernard and Atlas too?

After all, Laborn was definitely not as kind as he looked.

Right now, various thoughts were running through Nathaniel's head. Suddenly, he realised that he could drag Laborn off his throne with Bernard and Atlas' help as they hated him so much. Besides, his children probably didn't know what Laborn had done these years, but Atlas definitely did.

As long as Atlas could provide them with sufficient evidence, Laborn could not escape the law. However, he felt that that the current situation was a little complicated. Well, how could he provoke Atlas and Laborn so they would fight each other?
