The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Bernard did not hear Nathaniel answering him, so he couldn't help but frown.

"Look, you know that you are talented. Hence, I don't want to fight against you. If both of you join hands, we can have the best of both words." This was Bernard's true goal.

However, Nathaniel sneered and said, "Hehl Have the best of both worlds? My task is to arrest you and bring you back, so can you help me with that?" Bernard's face suddenly darkened when he heard what Nathaniel had said.

"I guess we can't come to an agreement then."

"Nah, that's been you wishful thinking all along."

Nathaniel said fearlessly.

A trace of cruelty flashed in Bernard's gaze. Then, he said, "Then don't blame me for being rude. Come on! Tie him up."

It turned out that many guards around were hiding there, after all!

The people here looked a little different from the guards of Laborn. Hence, they should be all Bernard's subordinates.

Well, Laborn knew that Nathaniel and the others were in the palace, but Bernard didn't want to hand Nathaniel over to Laborn just now, so... Thoughts were running through Nathaniel's head right now.

However, he didn't fight against the people who had come to catch him. Instead, he cooperated with them and allowed them to tie him up.

Then, Bernard looked around and sneered, "Hehl Are you waiting for Mango to come and save you? To be honest, Laborn is already monitoring Lebanon. As soon as she reaches his palace, she'll be captured Mango's a fool, so I guess I can let Laborn have her. However, you're different. You're a genius of the military and the heir of the Ye family. As long as you're in my hands, both your military talent and your money will be mine!"

It turned out that this was what Bernard had wanted all along.

Well, Nathaniel didn't even bother to speak this time.

He had been taken away by Bernard, but he was still secretly worried about Mango. After all, he was afraid that she would really go to find Lebanon.

On the other hand, Mango did not leave. Instead, she watched as Bernard talked with Nathaniel from afar. Although she did not know what they had said, she was surprised when she saw that Nathaniel did not resist. Hence, she fell into deep thought.

If Nathaniel made a move, Bernard would probably lose to him. However, when she saw Bernard's men appearing, she understood that Nathaniel was trying to preserve his strength to counter-attack. If that were the case, her appearance would only alert their enemy.

Although she felt terrible for Nathaniel when she saw that he had been caught, she was still thinking rationally. Hence, she did not rush in to save him. Instead, she followed him from afar.

On the other hand, Bernard did not put Nathaniel in the palace. Instead, he put Nataniel into a car and said softly, "Take him away."

Well, he was probably going to put Nathaniel somewhere outside the palace!

Mango's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this. After all, she was debating whether she should leave this palace. However, she rolled on the ground subconsciously. Then, while everyone was listening to Bernard, she crouched below the car.

After that, the car started to move and took Nathaniel out of the palace. At the same time, Mango was following them out of the palace too.

Laborn have given Bernard sufficient authority to move around. Hence, he had managed to send Nathaniel out of the palace smoothly. No one stopped their car to take a look when they left. However, Mango was in a much worse situation than Nathaniel right now.

She didn't have enough strength. Thus, she was already worn out as she had been lying under the bed. Furthermore, she found it hard to breathe because of the car exhaust.

After leaving the palace, Mango couldn't hold on any longer and let go. However, the car drove past her, and she immediately rolled to the side of the road. Thus, when she saw a car for rent nearby, she immediately rented in and started driving without hesitation.

Then, she followed Nathaniel and others from a distance. They drove for a long time. Finally, they left the urban area and arrived at the northern suburbs.

When they arrived in the uninhabited area again, Mango abandoned the car and decided to follow them on foot. This took a lot of energy, but she didn't think much about it right now.

After all, Nathaniel was the most important person to her, so how could she lose him?

Soon, the car stopped at an abandoned factory in the uninhabited area.

Hah! The Fang family were all the same as they had all chosen the same location.

Then, Mango watched as those people dragged Nathaniel out of the car and shoved him into this abandoned factory. Meanwhile, she tried to follow them without being noticed. The factory had been abandoned, so it was empty.

When Mango saw them enter through the tunnel, she finally realised that there was another entrance to this place!

But if she followed them now, she would only expose herself.

At this thought, Mango stared at the tunnel and turned around to leave without a word.

However, she did not return to the palace. Instead, she called Tristan immediately. No one knew what had happened to Tristan, but he never picked up her calls.

Well, Mango was a little anxious, so she had no choice but to call Mateo.

On the other hand, Mateo had been preparing to leave with his men, but when he heard Mango's

words, he couldn't help but pause.

"Where's Tristan?"

The first person he had asked out of concern was Tristan!

When Mango heard what he had said, she was stunned, and she answered, "Well, he didn't pick up his phone."

"Hmm, it's probably not a good time for him to answer his phone then. Let's do this instead. You can send me your location, and I'll get some of my men to go there and help you."

Well, Mateo couldn't Mango and Nathaniel, but his mission was also critical. If he was exposed, then he wouldn't even be able to bring these women back to the country. This was an important task, and it was also a mission that Mateo was assigned to. Thus, he couldn't delay it any longer. Therefore, he could only allow Mango to borrow some of his men and solve the situation herself.

"Look, Mango, I can't go there right now. After all, I've already contacted the military base. We have to reach the designated location in an hour. Take my men and wait. I'll send those women onto the plane and then come back to find you."

Mango understood the current situation Mateo was in after hearing what he had said. When she thought about how important the women were, she whispered, "Uncle Mateo, you don't have to come back. You can go with them. Just leave some of your men to help me."

"That won't do. How can you save him alone? Look, don't be stubborn, alright? Wait for me to come back."

On the other hand, Isla was a little worried when she heard what Mateo had said.

"What happened to Nathan?"

"It's none of your business."

Mateo answered harshly as he did not have a good impression of her. After all, no one liked spies that had betrayed their country.

However, Isla ignored Mateo's rude attitude. Instead, she knelt and pleaded, "Mr. Hans, please, I know you hate me! People in your country hate me, but now, something has happened to Nathan! I'm from Angolla, so I'm familiar with that place. Let me go! I can save Nathan."

"Hah! Are you perhaps doing this to escape?"

Although Mateo didn't think Isla could escape, he still asked this question.

However, Isla shook her head and said, "Look, where can I go now? My country has betrayed me, so I won't have a home no matter where I try to escape too. After all, I was the raised who raise Nathaniel. Now that something has happened to him, I can't sit here and ignore it! Furthemore, this place is dangerous, but none of you are familiar with this land. So, you should let me so. Look, I promise to return to Z Country with Nathan."

"How can we be sure that you will keep your promise?"

"Mango fed me some poison, and I will die without the antitode, So I won't run away, and I won't do anything to hurt you. Are you still worried about me?"

Mateo was stunned when he heard what Isla had said.

Poison?

So did that mean that Mango and Tristan had already formed a stong bond?

At this thought, Mateo pondered for a moment and then nodded.

"Look, you better keep your promise. We've already caught you once, so we can catch you again if you run away. Don't blame me for being rude if that happens."

Isla was right. After all, she was familiar with this place. Thus, she could stay here and help Mango as long as she was telling the truth."

"I will."

Isla nodded in reply.

Then, Mateo ordered a group of men to watch over Isla. Then, he drove over to the address that Mango had given him.

The men were wearing the uniform of the Ye's family medical team because of their relationship with Tristan. Thus, no one paid any attention to them.

When Mango saw Isla, she was slightly stunned. However, she did not say anything. After all, Mango had always trusted Mateo's arrangements. Thus, she believed that he had his reasons for bringing Isla

over.

"Mango, how's Nathan?"

Well, Mango could tell that Isla was genuinely worried about Nathaniel.

Then, she glanced at her and whispered, "He's in the abandoned factory, and Bernard's men have just left. However, I'm sure that he must have left some of his men instead. Thus, the most important thing we have to do now is to sneak in and see what he wants to do."

"Are we not going to save him?"

Isla was a little worried, so she couldn't help but ask.

Then, Mango replied slowly, "Well, Nathan followed Bernard here without showing any resistance. Thus, I'm sure that he's plotting someone. After all, Bernard did not hand Nathan over to Laborn, so perhaps he has his plans as well. Everyone knows that Lebanon is my cousin. Now that Nathaniel had ended up in this situation, Lebanon is the only person I can rely on. Oh, well. There's probably an ambush waiting for me somewhere if I fall into their trap.On the other hand,d Laborn knew our existence not long after we arrived at the palace, but he did not take any action. Furthermore, Laborn went to Lebanon's palace before the national banquet. This meant that he must have suspected something.

After hearing what Mango had said, Isla felt a little less worried. She was afraid that ManNathaniel's arrest would fluster Mango. However, it seemed that Mango had grown up a lot since she had first met her.

"Then what should we do now?"

Isla asked in a low voice.

Then, Mango looked inside and replied softly, "Bernard didn't leave many men behind, so this means that he's thinks that no one will find this place. Let's go in and get rid of his men first. Then, we can know what Nathaniel is planning."

"All right."

Under Mango's command, the group quickly entered the abandoned factory, but Isla stopped them immediately.

"There is an infrared beam here."

She was from Angolla, so naturally, she was familiar with the defence mechanisms here. Thus, she had spoken up immediately before Mango's subordinates had stepped into the infrared area.

On the other hand, Mango was a little surprised when she heard this.

She was terrified of the infrared rays because of what had happened to them previously. However, Isla quickly stepped forward and shut down the general system. Once Isla was done, Mango brought her men over quickly and took care of Bernard's subordinates.

When she finally saw Nathaniel again, she became a little emotional.

"Are you alright?"

She asked as she looked all over Nathaniel's body. Right now, she didn't even have time to wipe the exhaust off her body.

Thus, Nathaniel felt bad for her when he saw this.

"Are you stupid? How could you follow us from under the car? Aren't you worried that your body can't take it?"

"Nah, it's fine. Haha! I can do it."

Mango giggled as she replied, and Nathaniel immediately felt hopeful and warm when he saw her smile.

Well, she was a person who had always managed to bring warmth inside his cold and lonely life.

At this thought, Nathaniel hugged her. However, he suddenly saw Isla.

"Why are you here?"
