The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1275

As Nathaniel looked at the stunned look on Maverick's face, he smiled mockingly and said, "You didn't expect that, did you? She is like an angel to you. Maybe your father will also tell you how nice she is, so al you have is wonderful fantasies about her. But to me, she is not a worthy mother. She is not worthy at all!"

Nathaniel's words sounded a little sad and a little sarcastic. He was even a little emotional.

Mango could tell that he was moody. She was worried that he would go into a fight with Maverick because his emotions were affected by the Golden Lancehead Venom, so she quickly grabbed his arm. The warmth and the gentle touch of her body quickly dissipated his depression and anger.

He looked at the worried look on her face and said with a smile, "I'm fine."

"I'm glad that you're fine."

Mango heaved a sigh of relief.

When Maverick saw that Mango cared so much about Nathaniel, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with you? Do you have health problems or something?"

"It's none of your business. Since you're going to tell us about Barack, just hurry up and get it done. I might even develop a good impression of you because of this kinship." "Nathaniel, you are despicable. You know what I care about the most, but now you are threatening me with brotherhood?"

Maverick felt extremely helpless.

He had lived through life in a smooth sailing manner for thirty years. How did he end up meeting a b*stard brother who was so annoying?

However, Nathaniel said indifferently, "Yeah, I'm threatening you. So what? Are you unhappy? You can leave if you dislike it. No one will force you to stay." "Nathaniel Ye, you..."

Mango couldn't help but find it a little funny when she saw the two brothers arguing. She said hurriedly, "Nathan, he is here to give us information about Barack." "Oh, right. I almost forgot. Since my wife said so, you should tell us immediately."

Maverick was pissed off when he saw Nathaniel, who took everything for granted. However, this person happened to be Nathaniel. Maverick was depressed, angry, and helpless for a long time before he said, "I can't tell you anything else. I can only tell you that Barack is nearby. If you're able to find him, go to him. If not, just go back and don't stay here anymore. This is the last time I'm warning you. If you go ahead, you'll be in true danger."

Maverick was not exaggerating at all, but Nathaniel still replied calmly, "This is for us to decide. You just have to tell us what we want to know. Don't worry about anything else."

"Nathaniel, I'm doing it for your own good."

"Thank you very much."

When Mango saw that the two brothers were about to argue again, she hurriedly asked, "Where is my uncle now?" "Your uncle is here..."

Before Maverick could finish his words, a bullet suddenly pierced through the air as it headed towards Nathaniel. "Watch out!"

Maverick subconsciously pushed Nathaniel out of the way as the bullet passed by his arm, leaving a bloodstain.

Mango quickly pulled out her gun and shot in the direction of the bullet, but Nathaniel pulled her into his arms and rolled behind a rock. There was an insidious look in Maverick's eyes in

an instant.

"Show yourself!"

Mango had never seen such a murderous aura on him before.

Nathaniel was slightly stunned as well, but then he understood the other party's emotions.

Maverick had served the army before and trained several groups of killers. How could he be a polite gentleman?

There was no movement nor noise outside.

Maverick looked upset. He took out his gun and shot randomly outside. The series of shots showed that he was impatient.

Nathaniel pulled Mango to the side stealthily, but as soon as he moved a little, the bullets came at him from outside. Obviously, the other party was here for him. Maverick looked even more upset now.

"Stop right there! Don't you understand my command? If anyone dares to hurt Nathaniel, I'll kill his entire family!"

Maverick's eyes were red with anger, but the other party didn't listen to him at all as they focused on shooting Nathaniel.

Mango could tell as well that the other party wanted Nathaniel dead.

At this moment, she grabbed hold of Nathaniel's hand and said in a low voice, "They're targetting you. Stay where you are. I'll lure them away."

"No, I won't let a woman be the bait for me."

"Nathaniel, how can you still stick to male chauvinism at this moment? Can't you see that those people outside are targeting you? Even if I go out, they may not follow me anyway. I'm just giving it a try, don't be too full of yourself, okay?"

Mango let out a low and dejected groan.

Nathaniel suddenly felt that such Mango was simply too cute when she did this. Most importantly, it was the concern she had for him. Her eyes were shining so bright that it was dazzling.

He suddenly grabbed her head and lowered his head toward hers. He kissed her on the mouth affectionately.

Mango's mind went completely blank at that instance.

What was happening?

Now there was someone outside trying to kill him. Was he blinded by lust that he wanted her so badly at this time?

"Nathaniel, what are you..."

Just as Mango pushed Nathaniel away, he kissed her once again. This time, it was so dominant that Mango felt like he was taking her breath away.

She struggled against him but gradually lost her strength as she slowly immersed herself in his tenderness.

Maverick countered the attack as best as he could, but those bullets always went around him and shot at the place where Nathaniel was hiding.

He was so angry that he almost screamed in frustration. He turned to look at Nathaniel, only to see a steamy scene that he didn't expect. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"Hey, I'm blocking the bullets for you, yet you're kissing each other like there's no tomorrow. You don't treat your brother like this, okay?"

Maverick felt as if his heart was being stabbed with millions of glass shards.

Mango seemed to have regained her senses at this moment and hurriedly pushed Nathaniel away. However, she pushed him out of the protection of the rock as she put too much force into it. A hail of bullets immediately went toward Nathaniel.

"Nathan!"

Mango's heart almost stopped right there.

She was so dumb.

Just when she wanted to go out to help, Maverick suddenly stood in front of Nathaniel and shielded him. The shooting stopped abruptly.

Nathaniel took advantage of this chance to escape to Mango's location.

Maverick's face was turning gloomier.

The other party hadn't fired a single shot again because Maverick was there.

He glanced at Nathaniel and said calmly, "Follow me. Don't leave my side. Just treat me like a human shield."

Nathaniel paused for a moment, but he didn't hesitate at all. He directly reached out and grabbed Maverick's neck as he said coldly to the outside, "Get out of the way! Or else, I'll kill him."

The other party seemed to really have some reservations. There weren't any gunshots again.

Nathaniel and Mango had no idea whether the other party had left or not, so they didn't dare to relax. They left the cave using Maverick as a shield.

The space outside still looked empty. It was unknown whether they were hiding in the dark or really retreating.

Nathaniel and Mango supported Maverick on both sides as they returned to Zelle Village.

After seeing them return to Zelle Village, Maverick said in a low voice, "I'll leave since you guys are back safely. Remember what I said. Don't go any further if you have nothing to do. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever. I don't want to attend your funeral."

After saying that, Maverick turned around and left, but Nathaniel stopped him.

"Maverick, it's none of your business, and you can't intervene in what I do anyway. The man just now is your father's subordinates, right? They didn't dare to hurt you since their target is me. I know what you think. You want to be my brother, but from the moment your father wants to kill me, we can't be brothers anymore. He is your father, so you can't disobey him, but you want to protect me. How can there be a perfect way in this world for you to achieve that? You have to choose between your father and me after all. I know you have mixed feelings about me as a brother, but you love your father very much. In that case, you don't have to choose anymore. Just choose your father. If you want to be a bad guy, you should be bad until the end. Don't be a sissy."

Maverick felt really upset by Nathaniel's words.

No one here was a fool. Everyone could see what was happening today.

Maverick longed to be brothers with Nathaniel. He longed for family affection as he was eager to live the happy life of drinking and chatting happily as he did with Nick. However, Nathaniel was right. It was made impossible ever since Augustus decided to kill Nathaniel.

Maverick didn't expect himself to be so indecisive when it came to Nathaniel. He had always seen himself as a cold-blooded person.

A drop of tear rolled down from the corner of his eye. It carried with it the weight of silence.

Maverick said in a low voice, "Barack is in the mountain behind the village. It's up to you whether you can find him. You're right. I can't even be a villain. I'm really a failure. So from now on, I won't come to you again. Maybe the next time we meet, well be enemies. Nathaniel, take care."

Then he left without a backwards glance.

As Mango looked at Maverick's back as he left, she said emotionally, "Actually, he isn't that bad."

"I don't know if he is bad or not. I only know as long as that he is Augustus's son, I can't be brothers with him."

Was Nathaniel not upset at all?

Maverick really put his life on the line to protect him just now.

Since young, he thought he was the eldest son of and the heir of the family. So he forced himself to be strong and to take care of the elderly and his younger brother. He was told when he was a child that he was the hope of everyone in the Ye family. He could not be weak or soft, so he never thought that one day, there would be an elder brother who would protect him at all costs.

This feeling was very unfamiliar, but also very moving. He was almost moved to tears, but there was a hint of bitterness as well.

Mango held his hand in hers tightly. She didn't know how to comfort him, so she simply kept quiet. Perhaps he only needed good company at this moment.

The two of them stood at the gates of Zelle Village for a long time. Even when they could no longer see Maverick's silhouette, Nathaniel did not come back to his senses.

Mango did not utter a word either. She accompanied him in silence.

The wind here at night was cold. It was so bonechilling that it was unbearable,

Nathaniel hurriedly took off his coat and draped it over Mango's shoulders. He said in a sad yet determined tone, "Let's go back and have some rest. We will start looking for uncle throughout the mountain tomorrow."

"I'm afraid it'll be too late tomorrow for us to find him."

Mango's eyes were deep and meaningful. Nathaniel was slightly stunned by her words, but then he immediately understood the meaning.
