The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Although Rita felt that something was amiss, she was still too inexperienced to understand the situation.

Mango quickly pulled Wisdom into her embrace as she whispered, "There's an ambush lying in wait."

Although her body was a little weak, she still had a basic sense of alertness and sensitivity.

Nathaniel shot Mango a worried look before he said in a low voice, "Don't go in for now and just stay outside with Wisdom. I'll go in and have a look." "Dad, what about me?"

Rita actually wanted to help Nathaniel out. Her specialty was sniping. As long as she could find a high spot to hide, she could make things easier for Nathaniel. Nathaniel knew what she meant. He caressed her head with a smile and said, "Your mission is to accompany mom and stay safe. We'll have a good meal later." Dad, I..."

"Be a good girl, listen to me."

Nathaniel cut Rita off. Then he got out of the car with several bodyguards.

Mango felt that this car was now a sitting duck. If the enemies had really prepared an ambush, they would have been easy targets.

"Wisdom, Rita, we need to get off."

Mango could no longer stay here and wait for the assault passively.

Rita said hurriedly, "I have flash bombs and tear bombs. I asked Angela for some just in case before she left."

Wisdom paused for a moment and said upon hearing this, "Give them to me."

"Brother Wisdom, I can do this."

"Hand them over!"

Wisdom was extremely solemn.

How could he allow Rita to do such a dangerous stunt?

Rita looked at Mango in a somewhat wronged manner. The latter nodded her head and then only did Rita reluctantly hand it over to Wisdom as she muttered in a low voice, "I'm going to play with it. I've never used this before."

"You're not allowed to play with those in the future."

Wisdom proceeded to explain to her in an extremely serious manner. Then he pulled the hangwire and threw it out when he saw that Mango and Rita were ready.

They were unable to open their eyes because of the bright light in an instant.

Mango took advantage of this opportunity to grab the two children and run out of the car. She even rolled on the ground and hid behind the village sign of Zelle Village.

At the same time, Wisdom threw out the tear bombs in his hand.

There were coughs from all directions.

Mango took out a pistol from her waist pocket and shot it towards the places where she heard the cough.

Wisdom didn't bring any weapons with him. He took out a slingshot from his pocket, picked up some small pebbles on the ground, and shot them out according to the direction of the coughs.

Rita watched them fight brilliantly and her heart itched to join the battle. It was a pity that her sniper rifle was in the car. Besides, this place was not suitable for sniping.

She had no choice but to pretend to be a weak girl who needed protection.

"Rita, follow me closely. Don't run around, alright?"

Wisdom stole a glance at Rita and noticed that she was about to leave the village sign. Therefore, he quickly pulled her back.

Rita had planned to take advantage of the fact that the flashed bomb was still in effect to steal a gun. However, she didn't expect Wisdom to see her, so she could only stay by his side obediently. When Mango saw that Wisdom had taken good care of Rita, she no longer had any worries.

The fierce battle ended after ten minutes.

When Nathaniel came out with his men, there were no noises at all outside.

After the bodyguards cleaned up the battlefield, they realized that these people were mercenaries who wore the same attire as those who attacked them in Longford County last time. Nathaniel looked pretty upset.

It was Maverick!

That b*stard!

Didn't he say that he was the elder brother?

They had failed in their last attempt of assassination in Longford County, so were they trying it now in Zelle Village?

Nathaniel had shown him too much mercy.

A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

When Mango saw that the fight was over, she walked out with the children.

"How's it? Are the people of Zelle Village alright?" "They're okay, but Angela's family was attacked." Mango's heart skipped a beat at Nathaniel's words. He asked hurriedly, "Where is she? Is she okay?" "I haven't seen her yet. I have no idea if she was taken away."

Nathaniel was also very regretful.

They seemed to be here a little too late.

Mango was afraid that the tragedy of Longford County would repeat itself again, so she said hurriedly, "What about the others in Zelle Village. They aren't hurt, are they?"

"We reached there in time. They were not injured, but they were just locked up. Now the bodyguards are dealing with them. Let's head in first." "Alright."

Nathaniel and Mango led the children into Zelle Village.

Zelle Village was a beautiful village. It was built by the mountains and the creeks, with good-looking villagers and fertile soil.

Mango looked at the terrified looks in the villagers' eyes. When she heard the cries of the children, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

If they had not come here, perhaps these ordinary people would not have suffered the disaster.

Rita was unusually quiet. Wisdom picked up the first aid kit and quickly checked if anyone was injured. He started his duty a doctor.

Angela came back with a group of people in a hurry. When she saw the battlefield outside, her face turned ashen.

"Where is my mom?"

She ran in quickly.

Rita spotted Angela. This time, she did not mock her. Instead, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry. We didn't see your mom and dad when we arrived, but your house was attacked. There's nothing left." Angela didn't care about whether the house was destroyed or not. Instead, she grabbed the villager beside her and asked anxiously, "Where are my father and mother?"

"They went to the mountain yesterday and haven't come back since. They must have escaped the attack."

The villager was very respectful to Angela.

Rita was a little surprised by this.

"Why did her dad and mom go to the mountain?"

"Get a squad and follow me!"

Angela quickly called a group of people over. When she saw Nathaniel and Mango, she paused for a while before whispered, "Come with me, too. I received news from my dad that they have found clues on Captain Eaves. They haven't come back yet, either because they have found Captain Eaves or because they have encountered some difficulties. Either way, please come with me, Mr. Ye."

"Alright."

Nathaniel nodded in response.

"Mango, why don't you stay here and take care of Rita, Wisdom, and the others? I'm afraid those people will make another attack."

"Alright."

Mango didn't object Nathaniel's arrangements.

She also wanted to find Morgan as soon as possible, but the children and the people in the village were more important.

Nathaniel left her a team of men. Then he followed Angela to the mountain.

The mountains were hilly here, with plenty of creeks and rivers. Furthermore, the altitude was a little high.

Mango felt a little stifled when she first came to Zelle Village.

The people here took out tasty food and treated them with open arms.

Nathaniel followed Angela to the mountain. According to her guidance, they passed through a road and came to the entrance of a cave.

Angela had indeed grown up here. She had a strong sense of direction. Nathaniel looked at the way she hid their tracks along the way and had to admire her skills.

Besides, now that they were at the entrance of the cave, she directly pushed the weeds in front of her apart and lit an incense. Soon, a man spoke from inside. "Angela, is that you?"

"Dad, it's me. Can I enter the cave?"

Angela sounded very excited.

"Come in."

Paul, Angela's father, nodded.

Angela took Nathaniel and the others inside.

The cave was spacious and the air inside was a little dry.

Nathaniel walked in and looked around. There was an ambiguous look in his eyes.

When they entered the cave, they saw a man in his forties searching for something on the ground, while a middle-aged woman was lying on a stone bed beside him. She had an unnatural flush on her face.

"Mom!"

Angela ran over but her father stopped her.

"You'd better clean up your face. Aren't you afraid of scaring your mother?"

"I have forgotten about it."

Angela stuck out her tongue before she took out the cosmetic cotton from her bag. Then she quickly removed the makeup on her face.

Nathaniel looked at the unfamiliar young girl in front of her and could not help but be stunned.

Was Angela not a middle-aged woman in her thirties? Why did she suddenly change into a young girl?

Angela seemed to notice Nathaniel's surprise, so she said with a smile, "For the sake of convenience, I usually disguise my face when I go out."

Nathaniel admired her persistence, but he really didn't notice her guise.

Paul glanced at Nathaniel and frowned as he asked, "Who is this?"

"It's Captain Eaves' best buddy, Nathaniel."

When Paul heard the name "Nathaniel", he was slightly taken aback and asked subconsciously,

"Are you here to save Captain Eaves?"

"Yes, lam."

Nathaniel could tell that Angela and her family were the secret forces that Morgan had left him with.

Paul looked at Angela as he asked cautiously, "Have you confirmed his identity?"

"Yes, I have. My superior has sent me the photo personally."

After saying that, Angela went to her mother. As she looked at her mother's ruddy face, she asked with concern, "Dad, what's the matter with mom?"

"She was bitten by a snake last night, so she was poisoned. I already cleaned her wound. She must be having a fever now. If you aren't here, I'll have to ask someone to carry her away."

Upon hearing his words, Nathaniel was stunned for a moment.

"You cleaned up the snake poison by yourself, right? Then we must exit the mountain and go to the hospital for checkups promptly."

"Alright."

Paul was very worried about his wife, so he agreed hurriedly.

Angela asked her men to carry her mother out carefully. Paul stayed behind and handed something to Nathaniel while saying, "Look at this. I found it here. I think it belongs to Captain Eaves, so I have been looking for other clues. Unfortunately, there's nothing else here."

Nathaniel saw the dagger Paul was holding. It was made in Germany. Nathaniel was very familiar with it because it was the reward that he and his two buddies got when they went to Germany for individual training. Each dagger had a number marked on it. Each person definitely had their own dagger.

He quickly pulled the dagger out of the scabbard and saw the familiar number. His eyes watered a little as he grew excited.

"It's his dagger! That is to say, Morgan had stayed here."

Nathaniel looked around. There were stone beds and benches here, which seemed to be a decent accommodation, but there were no traces of anyone else.

Therefore, it was likely that Morgan had been temporarily hidden here by someone, and then they brought him away.

Why did the other party bring Morgan here?

Where were they taking him?

Why couldn't Nathaniel receive any news in Ocean City? It was as if their ears and eyes were covered.

They couldn't see or hear anything.

Who exactly had such powers?
