The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1069

Mango did not return to ask Xander about it. She knew that it was pointless since Xander would not tell her. He would have already told her the person's identity if he wanted to. Nevertheless, that was kind enough of him.

The sun was shining brightly when she came out.

Mango leaned against the car door and looked at the soldiers who were training. For a moment, she found the scene really pleasing to her eyes, but her mind started wandering.

Who was the one Xander told her to be careful of?

Could it be Henry?

He was the first person who Mango suspected. However, why would he give Hikasa Manual to Michael after getting it if he was the betrayer? He could just use the book to threaten Mango. After all, Henry knew how much Mango valued Hikasa Manual.

However, who else could it be other than Henry?

It was absolutely impossible for Michael to do that.

Mango had absolute faith in Michael's character as Nathaniel fully trusted him.

If that was so, who else could it be?

Was it Thomas then?

He had served Nathaniel for so many years and he was Rainie's fiance, so he would be the last person to betray them.

At that moment, Mango felt that her mind had gone haywire.

She had the urge to go back and ask Xander about the person who was with him, but she resisted.

Later, Bettany came out and she saw Mango leaning against the car door, but she didn't know what Mango was contemplating. So, she walked over directly.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"Oh? Nothing... I'm just wondering what present to give to my husband tomorrow."

Mango smiled.

Then, Bettany paused for a moment.

"A present for your husband? Why?"

"We need some surprises in life, isn't it? Nathaniel saved my life, so I should buy him a gift."

Mango did not reveal that it was Nathaniel's birthday as she found it inappropriate to discuss such a personal topic with others. It was regardless of Bettany's identity and whether she was their friend or foe. Meanwhile, Bettany was stunned by Mango's words.

Did we need surprises in life?

Was that so?

No wonder they were so close.

Bettany smiled and said, "How about you go out for a walk with him?"

"Are there any nice places here?"

Mango's interest piqued at that instant.

Then, Bettany said, "Swovenia is well known for its diamond production."

"I don't think my husband likes that."

Mango curled her lips.

Nevertheless, Bettany said with a smile, "There must be some other goods, but you'll know only after you go for a shop. Anyway, you can buy him a watch as I heard that giving a man a watch means that you want to be with him every second. I think it would make a good gift since you're so desperate to stick with him all the time."

Mango's mood was lightened up upon hearing this.

"That's a good gift! Let's go and have a look. I'll buy a diamond watch for my husband since here is well known for its production. That would mean that my love for him will last as long as a diamond's life span. At that moment, Mango was beaming with joy.

Bettany had seldom seen such a simple woman.

In the past, she had always felt that Mango was cold and aloof, but Mango became really warmhearted when it came to Nathaniel.

That was the power of love.

Suddenly, Bettany thought of Jigsaw.

She used to be like Mango too. Perhaps she would be living happily with Jigsaw now if it wasn't for the fact that he sided with the wrong team and chose the wrong master.

Their children would be at an age to attend school now.

At that moment, there was a flicker of loneliness in Bettany's eyes.

Mango could sense that Bettany was down, so she hurriedly said, "Bettany, why don't you show me around since you're familiar with this place?"

"Sure. Should we bring some bodyguards?"

Then, Mango shook her head.

"No, I believe you."

However, Mango's words made Bettany slightly stunned.

"You believe in me? Why? We don't know much about each other and my husband died because of you. Aren't you afraid that..."

"What's there to be afraid of if Jigsaw is just your ex-husband... Besides, you're not a person who can't distinguish right from wrong and you should be aware that Jigsaw's fate is not my fault. Also, you're Wisdom's teacher and you treat him like your own son, so how would you have the heart to let him suffer any pain? You're Genevieve's master too and you surely won't make things difficult for her, isn't it?" Mango said two reasons in a row by bringing Wisdom and Genevieve into this, so there was nothing else that Bettany could say.

She looked at Mango and smiled, "You seem to be a simple person, but you're actually smarter than anyone else."

"Thank you for your compliment. Can we go now?"

Lets go.

Then, Bettany and Mango got into the car.

Mango wasn't familiar with this place, so Bettany took the driver's seat.

Soon, the two of them left the encampment and Bettany brought Mango to the largest trading market in Swovenia.

This was the first time that Mango came here.

"This is..."

Mango looked at the marketplace before her and she thought that she had come to the wrong place.

Weren't they going to the mall to buy a diamond watch?

Then, Bettany whispered, "We're at Dark Mantle."

"Dark Mantle?"

Mango had heard of this place before, but she wasn't familiar with it.

So, Bettany began to educate her.

"You can buy anything you want here as long as you can pay the price. However, this place is beyond legal control and the sellers have relatively complicated backgrounds, so you should be careful."

"Uh! Dark Mantle?"

Suddenly, Mango became extremely excited.

Bettany saw Mango's reaction and she started to regret bringing her here.

"You'd better not stir up any troubles as you can't ask help from any authorities."

"Come on, I won't cause trouble, but I just wanted to ask if I can get some information here?"

Then, Mango's words made Bettany pause

slightly.

"What information?"

"Why do you care what I want to buy since you are not from Dark Mantle... Just tell me whether I can do so."

Bettany nodded and said, "There's somewhere in there that sells information, but we can't know whether it is true or false."

"Quick, take me there."

Mango was so excited that she urged Bettany to bring her there.

So, Bettany had no choice but to take Mango to a closed house.

"Here it is, but it's a rule that only the party involved can contact the buyer, so I can't accompany you in no matter what would happen after you enter... Have you thought it through that you want to go in? I won' be able to explain it to Mr. Ye if something goes wrong."

Bettany kindly reminded Mango.

Then, Mango smiled and said, "I'll be fine and I'm sure I'll have some fun in there. Just call Nathaniel if I haven't come out for a long time and ask him to save me."

"You..."

However, Mango walked in before Bettany could finish her words.

She pushed the door open and it was so dark inside that she couldn't see anything, nor any furnishings. However, Mango sensitively noticed a gust of wind behind her. Immediately, she dodged to the right and threw a punch in a flash.

"Bang!" Mango hit the other party with her fist and he staggered a few steps back.

Mango took the opportunity to chase after him and she grabbed her opponent's arm with her sharp senses. Then, she broke his arm with a creak.

A muffled groan came to Mango's ears and she instantly kicked towards wherever the sound came from.

"Bang!" The door of the house collapsed and the man flew out of the house in an instant.

Mango was somewhat unaccustomed to the light as she slightly narrowed her eyes.

She searched for Bettany in the crowd without further ado, but she was gone.

At that moment, Mango's lips curled up.

Indeed, she found out who was her friend and foe within a few moments.

She looked at the man lying on the ground and went straight over. She grabbed him by the collar and asking with a smile, "Do you have any information to sell?"

"You have to follow the rules if you want to get information, otherwise, I'm not interested in dealing with you..."

The man looked at Mango in horror with blood on the corner of his mouth.

This woman was incredibly rugged and tough.

Nevertheless, Mango smiled at him casually.

"It's not up to you whether to cooperate with me. Tell me, where did Bettany go?"

"I don't know what you're talking about... You have to pay me and give me some time to check it out even if you want to get some news. Woman, are you even aware of the rules?" However, Mango grabbed on his chin just as he finished speaking. It was obvious that she wasn't being kind although she was smiling.

"Do you think that the dead could give me the information I want?"

"What are you going to do? Let me warn you, we're at Dark Mantle!"

There was a hint of fear in the man's eyes.

He could see killing intent in Mango's eyes.

However, Mango let go of him directly.

Xander told her to be careful of the people around her.

Was he talking about Bettany?

What a surprise!

Mango's face darkened at that instant.

Then, she raised her head and glanced at the place.

Hah! Dark Mantle...

What a great idea, Bettany...

Bettany would be able to push away her responsibility even if something happened to Mango in Dark Mantle. She could tell Nathaniel that Mango was the one who insisted on buying a watch at this place.

Well, what a pity.

A glint flashed across Mango's eyes at that moment.

Suddenly, she snapped her fingers.

Immediately, Desmond brought his men over and they showed up in front of Mango.

"Where's Bettany?"

"She left as soon as you entered, but she's obviously very familiar with this place, so our people lost her."

Desmond frowned.

He had received Mango's order spontaneously to follow them in secret. At first, he didn't know what she was up to, but now he realized that Mango was taking precautions.

"Mrs. Ye, the political situation here is really complicated. We'd better go back now as I am afraid that something will happen if we stay here any longer."

"I want to buy a watch."

Mango didn't want to leave this place fruitlessly since she was here.

Moreover, it was Nathaniel's birthday tomorrow and she couldn't go back empty-handed.

Meanwhile, Desmond did not agree with what she said, but he still followed Mango around when she shopped at Dark Mantle.

It was a lively location like an underground market as the people here mostly had criminal records and there were even robbers. Bettany was right that Mango could buy anything as long as she could afford it, including a person's life.

Mango walked through half of the area before she found the diamond watch that Bettany had mentioned.

She had to admit that the quality of the watch was really good and the diamond was incredibly pure.

Immediately, Mango took a fancy to it.

"How much is this watch?" "3.5 million dollars. I won't sell you a penny less."

The seller of the watch was a middle-aged man with a beard.

Then, Mango glanced at him and said to Desmond directly, "I'll buy it. Give him five million."

At that instant, the bearded man was slightly stunned.

"Lady, why are you doing this?"

Then, Mango said with a smile, "I'll use the remaining 1.5 million dollars to exchange my and my companion's safety while we leave Dark Mantle. If you think that it's too little, you can tell me the price as we

can afford it."

At that moment, Desmond was slightly shocked.

The bearded man was also slightly taken aback, but he directly shook his head and said, "I'm just a man who sells watches, though. I can show you a place and you can give it a try there if you want to save

your life."
