The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1310

"What can I do then? The people we have here are all your bodyguards, so how could they not recognize you? Nathaniel, stop making my life hard for me!"

Mango knew that Nathaniel already had an idea of how to sneak out secretly. Thus, he was asking her for an idea just to mess with her.

After hearing this, Nathaniel smiled gently.

"Okay, I'll stop. I just called Maverick. He asked us to come over."

Mango nodded her head after hearing Nathaniel's words.

Then, she went to prepare herself. When she came out, Nathaniel had disappeared, so only Rita was left in the room.

"Where's Nathan?"

"He went out. Oh, by the way, he told you to go to the car straight away."

Wisdom was very happy today.

Nathaniel had asked him for the Hikasa Manual and also discussed some parasitic insects with him. Hence, Wisdom felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge that day, so he needed to go back to his room to understand it thoroughly.

"Mommy, I'll go back to my room first."

"Alright."

Although Mango didn't know why Wisdom was so excited, she thought that it had something to do with Nathaniel, so she didn't pay attention to it.

She then simply cleaned up the room and went out.

Meanwhile, the car was parked in the garage.

Mango looked at the distance between their room and the garage. It was quite a distance, but if Nathaniel went out from the window and managed to hide, he could avoid attracting attention and reach the garage.

Alas! Nathaniel was a dignified president, but he also needed to sneak around in his own territory. At this thought, Mango couldn't help but sigh.

After all, Mango didn't know who she could trust anymore because of all incidents that had happened.

Well, Bettany was obviously from Longford County. Why did she betray Longford County and Nathaniel? Why did she plant the Golden Line Beetle when she removed the parasite from Nathaniel's body? But since Bettany had escaped, none of her questions could be answered.

Also, why did Bettany have to flee?

Who was she working for?

Was the king of Angolla giving her orders?

Bettany was a loner now. What could the king possibly use to threaten her with? How could she betray her people and her country willingly for him? This was something that Mango didn't understand.

Unfortunately, all these mysteries could only be unraveled when Bettany was found.

When Bettany said that she knew the whereabouts of Barack, no one knew whether she was telling the truth or not.

All these thoughts flashed through Mango's mind, and then she quickly came to the garage.

When she opened the car door, she found that Nathaniel was already in the car.

"I'm afraid that when we drive out, you'll have to hide, Mr. Ye. If not, they will discover you!"

Mango smirked and teased Nathaniel, but she looked even more alluring right now.

On the other hand, Nathaniel didn't mind doing that, so he nodded with a smile.

Then, both of them then left Longford County without any obstructions.

On the other hand, Maverick had now completely taken over Atlas's forces as Atlas' son, and Atlas's current whereabouts were unknown. Although Maverick took over without hindrances, he also understood that once Atlas appeared, those loyal to Atlas would rebel against him once again.

Hence, Maverick commanded a massacre after returning from Nathaniel's place last night because of this.

In the end, all of Atlas' loyal subordinates were killed by Maverick.

He was not a kind nor soft-hearted man. After all, what he needed to do now was to protect himself and Lilian so that he could become Nathaniel's support.

Therefore, that night was indeed not a peaceful night.

The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and the blood on the ground flowed into a stream as it dyed the ground red.

Well, Maverick could not kill all of Atlas' men as he still needed to be in contact with Atlas. But the men he killed served as a warning to the others and left them terror-stricken. In the past, when Atlas was around, Maverick had

restrained himself. Even though he was cruel and merciless, he was still under Atlas' control. Now that Maverick had become the ruler of this place, everyone had to submit to him.

Atlas's trusted subordinates had gotten married and had children over the years. Hence, their families were like hostages in Maverick's hands, so the men didn't dare to go against Maverick. Furthermore, he wouldn't tolerate those who were stubborn and insisted on being loyal.

When Mango and Nathaniel arrived, the scene before their eyes immediately shocked Mango.

Then, Nathaniel covered her eyes immediately and whispered, "Don't look if you don't want to."

"It's alright."

Although she felt nauseous, Mango still pulled Nathaniel's hand away.

If she wanted to stay with Nathaniel, she didn't know what else would happen in the future. However, before the matter regarding Atlas and the king was resolved, she would have to face the bloodshed and cruelty.

At this moment, she fully understood the importance of soldiers.

After all, Mango and the other commoners could live peaceful lives because of them. Otherwise, who would be able to stop this cruel massacre that had happened?

Mango never thought that there was anything to be proud of as a soldier's wife. But, at this moment, she was proud of Nathaniel's occupation and his excellence.

On the other hand, Nathaniel could also see the determination in Mango's eyes. He couldn't help but reach out and grab her hand while saying softly, "Follow me." "Alright."

After they got out of the car, Maverick had already received the news of their arrival and came out quickly.

"Hello! You're here early."

There was a trace of exhaustion in his eyes, but he still had a wild glint in his eyes. Thus, the murderous aura around him made people cower in fear.

Perhaps this was Maverick's real personality.

For the first time, Mango realized how terrifying Maverick was.

She thought they were lucky that Maverick was their family and not their enemy.

Suddenly, she recalled how she had wanted to become enemies with Maverick when Michael was injured and even wanted to kill this man. At that thought, Mango felt like she could only be that fearless back then because she didn't know the truth!

"Hello, Maverick."

Mango's face was a little pale as she greeted him.

Maverick also knew how women were easily affected by blood, especially when he saw the worry in Nathaniel's eyes. He couldn't help but smile and say, "I didn't expect you to come so early, or I would have cleaned it up beforehand."

"Let's go in then."

Well, Nathaniel knew that it was not Maverick's fault. Hethen pulled Mango along and walked into the room.

When they entered, Lilian was still resting because of her miscarriage. Furthermore, she knew of the massacre that happened the night before. But she was at peace and was sleeping soundly because she was not at the scene.

Meanwhile, Maverick did not allow anyone to disturb Lilian, so he brought Mango and Nathaniel to the meeting hall.

There was a lot of space in the meeting hall.

Maverick asked someone to serve them some food and drinks. Then, he leaned back in the chair and rubbed his temples tiredly.

The massacre tonight had taken a toll on him.

After all, this was only the first step in taking over the forces. He had a lot of things to do next, so he would probably be busy for a long time.

When he saw that Maverick was exhausted, Nathaniel whispered, "If there is anything you need from us, just say it."

"It's alright. I have to do these things myself. Even if what awaits me is only torture, I would have to follow it through, as this is my destiny."

A hint of determination flashed in Maverick's eyes as he said these words.

He knew that he would be able to take control of the situation much sooner if he had Nathaniel's men, but that would result in halfhearted loyalty. However, Maverick wanted complete allegiance from his man as he wanted to take control of them fully.

Of course, Nathaniel understood that as well.

Hence, he no longer talked about it but looked at Maverick and said with some difficulty, "We have found out Augustus's identity."

"What? Really?"

Maverick was stunned for a moment, and then he became serious.

Mango felt that the truth would only torture

Maverick more, but he had the right to know the truth.

After all, Atlas had hidden this from Maverick for thirty years, and it was even possible that he would keep it a secret forever. That was unfair to Maverick!

Perhaps Atlas did not intend to treat Maverick as his own son from the beginning.

At this thought, Mango told Maverick everything she knew.

Maverick was surprised at first, then a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. He finally understood what he couldn't figure out before. Now he had the answer that he couldn't get before, but he found this answer a little hard to accepy.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked at Maverick, who was in pain and said in a low voice, "Don't be upset. You could be happy about one thing. I mean, you are still the son of the prince of Angolla. Maybe this can make you feel better?"

"The son of the prince? Haha, do you think it's possible?"

Maverick smile sarcastically as he said these words.

"What do you mean?"

Mango was a little confused when she heard this. On the other hand, Nathaniel understood what

Maverick meant, but he didn't say anything.

THen, Maverick said coldly, "He never had any affection towards me as my father, and he even doubted that I was his son! That's why he went for a paternity test. Heh! Even though the report stated that we are biological related, with his command over this place over the years, how hard would it be for him to tamper with the results of the report?"

"What?"

Mango immediately froze when she heard this.

"That's impossible. He couldn't have done that!"

"Why not? If I were his son, how could he do this to me? He has never met Bernard Gaylord, but he had planned out Bernard's future. Alas! He even sent Bernard to Angolla to stay with the king! If I was really his son, in the thirty years that I was with him, what has he done for me? He left me with nothing! Furthermore, he even used me as a vessel to cultivate and assess his parasitic insects! Bah! Is this what a father would do to his son?"

Maverick's eyes were getting colder as he exclaimed.

Nathaniel fell silent after hearing what Maverick had said.

Since he knew of Maverick's situation, he had guessed that the latter would think this way. After all, both Maverick and he understood the situation well, but Nathaniel had forgotten to doubt the authenticity of the paternity test.

Maverick was right!

Even though Bernard was not the king's son, their paternity report could have been tampered with to show otherwise. Therefore, the same thing could happen to Maverick and Atlas's report as well! "What do you want to do then?"

Nathaniel looked at Maverick and saw that his hands were tightly clasped together. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, which showed that he was furious and miserable.

But they were men, so they would only feel more motivated because of this fury.

Then, Maverick looked at Nathaniel and said faintly, "I want to take the paternity test again. So, I hope you can help me this time."

Maverick was unsure if there were still Atlas's men around him or were there Atlas' forces that he hadn't taken over. Therefore, another paternity test would be futile under these circumstances. But if Nathaniel took over this task instead, he knew that the results would be different.

After all, Nathaniel had his forces and connections. Hence, he could at least guarantee the authenticity of the paternity test.

Therefore, Nathaniel nodded when he saw the expectant gaze in Maverick's eyes.
