The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1195

Mango glanced at Nathaniel one last time before leaving the room with Wisdom, clearly upset.

She wanted to stay with Nathaniel, but Bettany did not allow her to.

Was it because Bettany didn't want them to know how she cured Nathaniel?

But Wisdom was Bettany's student, wasn't he?

He was her only student, so why couldn't Wisdom be by her side?

However, Bettany looked as if no witnesses were allowed, not even Wisdom.

Although Mango didn't know why, she was still relieved as Bettany had assured her that there was a 90% chance of succeeding. Anyway, as long as Nathaniel was fine.

After leaving the room with Wisdom, Mango followed Bettany's instructions and ordered someone to have the surveillance removed. At this, Zion was annoyed as he said, "Mommy, we can keep the cameras on in secret. What if she does something to dad..." Mango looked at his son and said in a low voice, "Bettany isn't someone who will hurt your father.

Besides, she is Wisdom's teacher. For his sake, she won't do anything that goes too far."

Mango's words showed respect to Wisdom while also reminding Zion that he should always think about Wisdom's feelings. When Wisdom heard this, his heart trembled as he tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to stream down his face.

His mom really treated him like he was her own child, so how could he not protect his family?

Zion was clearly slightly stunned before he said apologetically, "Wisdom, I'm sorry. I was just too anxious."

"It's okay. I understand."

Meanwhile, Rita did not say anything and had been very quiet since she came back from the Eaves family. Just then, she walked up to Wisdom and held his hand. When Wisdom felt her soft palm, it felt promising and warm.

It was as if Rita had promised him that she would never leave him.

Wisdom held Rita's hand back tightly and like Mango, he waited anxiously.

Inside the room, after everyone left, Bettany suddenly kneeled down in Nathaniel's direction after ensuring that the cameras had been cut off, and touched her head to the floor three times.

When she looked up again, Bettany's face was full of tears.

"Master! Master!"

She choked with sobs but didn't know what else she could say.

Nathaniel, who was in front of her, was oblivious and didn't respond at all, but Bettany's expression changed a little after that.

Her face was suddenly filled with respect and piety.

Then, she took a silver needle and inserted it directly into the back of Nathaniel's head.

With that, Nathaniel moved a little, but was motionless after that.

Bettany didn't delay and inserted twelve more needles into different parts of Nathaniel's body. After she was finished, she was sweating and her face was pale, but she didn't stop and proceeded to take out a small box from her pocket.

When she opened the box, there was a golden worm inside!

It was the Golden Lancehead Venom!

If those who were experts in this field saw the worm in Bettany's possession, they would probably be green with envy.

It was the most powerful among the other worms!

It was something that people only dreamed about!

From looking at the color of the Golden Lancehead Venom, it must be at least a hundred years old.

As soon as the worm was released, it jumped directly onto Nathaniel's forehead.

The worm was immediately covered in a layer of frost, and with a flash of gold, it entered Nathaniel's mind.

Seeing this, Bettany quickly knelt down and bowed her head in Nathaniel's again and again while muttering something that was incomprehensible. Before long, black blood began to ooze out from the needles that Bettany had planted, soaking the sheets bit by bit while emitting a stinky smell. Bettany did not move and continued to stay on the ground while still muttering something.

About an hour later, it was only when Nathaniel's blood slowly turned back to red did Bettany finally heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Nathaniel opened his eyes suddenly, and his cold eyes were painted scarlet.

"Master, you're awake!"

Bettany said excitedly.

Just then, a figure got up quickly and grabbed Bettany's neck.

"Master..."

Bettany's entire body was being lifted up.

Her face had turned purple, but Nathaniel acted as if he didn't see it. The murderous look and fierceness in his eyes were frightening enough to make others shudder. "How dare you!"

Nathaniel's fingers clutched tightly around her neck as if his hand was made out of iron. Then, blood seeped out of Bettany's neck bit by bit, dyeing Nathaniel's fingers red. His scarlet eyes were creepy and inhumane as if he was possessed.

At that moment, he was emotionless, like he would kill anything that was in his way unhesitantly and the temperature of the whole room seemed to be freezing.

It was hard for Bettany to breathe and her eyes were clouded with her fear of dying. The sight of Nathaniel suffocated her as he was looming above her like he had thousands of lives on his bloody hands. "Master... Master, I'm here to save you..."

Bettany spoke frantically.

If she kept silent, she was afraid that she would die then and there.

Bettany had never thought that she would meet her master in such a state. What she was feeling right now was indescribable, but she knew that this was what she was born for.

If she couldn't complete her mission now, she would need to finish it in her next life.

At her words, Nathaniel snorted and smiled all of a sudden.

This man was very good-looking, but he used to be so cold that people had dared not look at him in the eye.

But now, the smile on his face was a little creepy but enchanting, and it was accompanied by his scarlet eyes, which made people shiver when there was eye contact. He smiled as if he had dawned upon this world to take every single life, and he looked fascinating but frightening at the same time.

Bettany suddenly felt as if she was being choked and it was difficult to even swallow. Then, she said hurriedly, "I didn't poison you, master."

When he heard her words, Nathaniel's eyes softened a little as he flung Bettany away.

Bettany hit the wall with a loud thud before falling to the floor and she felt as if her insides had ruptured, but she didn't dare make a sound. She quickly got up and knelt in front of Nathaniel, and her humble actions were nothing like the arrogant Varna Hades.

However, Nathaniel turned a blind eye to her gestures, as if she was meant to do so.

Then, he sat on the bed again and frowned at the black liquid and strong smell.

"Who did this?"

His voice was cold and indifferent, while his eyes were still scarlet.

He could tell that this was Mango and his room.

Where was Mango?

As he suddenly thought of this, his mood shifted once again and the whole room was instantly filled with a murderous aura.

"You hurt my woman?"

"No, I just asked her to stay outside."

Bettany broke out in a cold sweat.

The pain made her clench her teeth tightly as cold sweat dripped onto the floor, quickly forming a small puddle.

Then, Nathaniel continued coldly, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Bettany immediately understood what Nathaniel was asking.

"The poison in your body had been left there by the previous master. If I had guessed correctly, the poison had been planted by Nanny Zhang when she was pregnant. The curse was born with you and it had always been in your blood."

Bettany said tentatively and tremblingly.

Hearing her words, Nathaniel frown deepened.

He didn't like to mention Nanny Zhang.

Because he knew that woman hadn't really wanted to give birth to him from the very beginning, and instead, she had planned to take advantage of him all along.

Even if she had finally came to her senses when she died, he still didn't have any feelings for his mother.

Now, when he heard from Bettany how his mother had treated him, his scarlet eyes darkened once again, like there was a storm raging in them, suffocating everyone that came across it.

Bettany didn't wait for Nathaniel's further questioning as she continued.

"The curse wasn't harmful to you at first. If you hadn't touched the ring, it wouldn't have been triggered. What's more, your head was injured and you had your past illness, so after taking some specific drugs, it was triggered and came at you strongly. If it wasn't for the Golden Lancehead

Venom, I'm afraid... You would be..."

Bettany didn't dare finish her sentence.

Just then, Nathaniel suddenly laughed.

"I would be dead, right?"

Bettany didn't dare answer his question.

Still, she was a little confused, so she mustered up the courage and said, "Master, what medicine had you taken?"

Nathaniel was slightly stunned at this.

What medicine?

Previously, he took what Noah had given him, and later, he took Wisdom's medicine. Although he had only taken it for a few days, it did the trick.

"I took what Wisdom had given me. Didn't you know about this?"

Bettany suddenly remembered the Chinese medicine Wisdom had asked for and her face suddenly turned pale.

Sure enough...

However, Nathaniel raised the corner of his mouth, and the evil look on his face made Bettany bow her head as he dare not look him in the eye.

Nathaniel didn't acknowledge that as he said with an evil smile, "So, it's your fault that I'm like this right now? You have planned to let me inherit those dirty things all along, haven't you?" "Master, I wouldn't dare. Besides, I didn't know you were the new master before this, let alone scheme against you. As for the memory you had inherited, it is dirty, but it is Longford County's doings! It is full of the hatred our bloodline felt when they became extinct, master. Nanny Zhang ate something that preserved the memory and let it be born with you, to let it be integrated into your blood. She hopes that one day you will feel the hatred as our own kind had been murdered. 185 lives in the whole village were murdered, master. They had died pitifully, master!"

Bettany bowed her head once again.

She too was born after her mother had eaten the Fire Ant Venom, which was why she could feel the intense hatred as she was reminded with the cruel massacre every night when she slept.

All the very few remaining people left of Longford County had the Fire Ant Venom in them, except for Novalee and her brother, as they were not at the county at that time.

For so many years, they had been waiting for a new leader.

Bettany had once thought that the new leader would be Nick or Nathaniel, but up to Nanny Zhang's death, there wasn't anything abnormal about Nathaniel at all. She had observed him for a long time, but it had seemed that Nathaniel was oblivious about the past, so she gave up in the end.

At that time, Bettany had thought that Nanny Zhang had failed to plant the Fire Ant Venom on Nathaniel, so she was furious and resented Nanny Zhang about it.

However, it wasn't until when she saw the ring in Zion's hand and Nathaniel's poisoned state that she realized Nanny Zhang had indeed planted the venom after all and that it had needed time to be triggered. Now, she had found their leader, who could guide their kind to revenge. At this moment, Bettany vowed to follow Nathaniel's lead and had even wished that he would avenge their fallen people right then and there.
