The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1363

"Be careful!"

After saying that, Nathaniel directly pressed down on Mango's head. Then, an infrared beam immediately pointed in their direction.

"Have we been discovered?"

"Hurry up and leave!"

Nathaniel quickly grabbed Mango's hand and rolled on the ground as they dodged the infrared light. However, it seemed that someone had made them the target of the beam. No matter where they went, the light would follow them.

Thoughts quickly ran through Mango's head.

"Is it a weaker infrared ray?"

"That's right."

Nathaniel was still thinking about how to explain it to Mango. However, it was easier to do so now that she had understood what was going on."

"I was negligent. I think that Laborn was using infrared rays to monitor each of the palaces. I was wondering why Laborn went to Lebanon's palace once we arrived there. Also, he went to Priscilla's palace once we went there too. This means that he probably has discovered us already."

After saying this, Nathaniel immediately felt a little cold and scared.

"Then Aunt Mckenzie..."

Mango's expression suddenly changed when she thought about Mckenzie.

"Now that Michael is here, Aunt Mckenzie will leave this place. Even if Laborn knows about this, he will never discover that person."

Nathaniel didn't dare to say Tristan's name at this time, but Mango understood what he was trying to tell her.

Was there an eavesdropping system here?

"What should we do now then?"

Mango and Nathaniel were running as fast as they could, but they still couldn't avoid the infrared beams. Even though they could always dodge the infrared beams narrowly, they felt terrible as the beams were chasing them. Moreover, they were making a lot of noise here, so this would attract the guards outside. If that happened, they would be in deep trouble.

Nathaniel was also a little anxious when he saw this.

He glanced at the looked chamber and whispered, "The only safe place now may be that chamber."

"But how should we open it? We don't know when the infrared ray will shine on the palaces, so who knows when it will land here?"

Mango was a little anxious when she said that.

She had been negligent!

If she had told Nathaniel about her discovery earlier, perhaps this wouldn't have happened!

On the other hand, Nathaniel did not blame her, but he whispered, "Let's go to the secret chamber. I don't think this beam is an infrared ray, but maybe it will have the same effect." Mango understood what Nathaniel was trying to say.

After all, this was Prestin's palace. He couldn't only open the door when Laborn's infrared rays hit his palace. Perhaps there was an infrared system here in his palace, but they hadn't managed to discover it. With this thought in mind, Mango immediately turned her attention to the infrared beam that was targeting them. Suddenly, she realised that the beam came from a camera.

Did that mean that the secret to open the chamber was there?

Suddenly, the beam of light hit Mango as she was distracted by these thoughts.

"Urgh..."

Mango immediately let out a groan due to the intense pain. She was as if she had been struck by lightning, so her body felt numb immediately. "Mango!"

Nathaniel's face suddenly pale when he saw this.

"Don't worry about me. Hurry up! I think your guess is correct. We probably can use these infrared beams to open the door to the secret chamber."

Right now, Mango had no time to care about her wounds. Instead, she held Nathaniel's hand and ran to the secret chamber.

Both of them were agile, so they could easily dodge the beams that were targeting them if they were distracted.

After going through the hurdles, they finally arrived at the door of the secret chamber with the infrared rays following them. When the rays landed on the door of the secret chamber, they suddenly heard a beeping sound.

"We need to key in a password or use the correct fingerprints to unlock this."

Suddenly, the door to the secret chamber let out a sound.

Nathaniel and Mango were stunned when they heard this.

What the f*ck?

This was some high-end technology!

Why was there a lock that could be unlocked only be fingerprints here?

At this thought, Mango immediately felt like cursing.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel quickly turned on his virtual computer and hacked into the system to find out the password.

This was an easy task for Nathaniel. Soon, Mango heard a "clack" as the door opened.

"Hurry up! Let's go into the room!"

Nathaniel grabbed Mango's arm and pulled her into the secret chamber while saying that. Then, the door to the secret chamber immediately shut. At the same time, some men broke open the door to Prestin's bedroom violently and entered the room.

"I heard a noise coming from here just now. Search this room! If you see anyone that you don't know, kill them with hesitation!"

The captain frowned slightly as he ordered. When he saw a drop of blood on the ground, his eyes narrowed suddenly.

As expected, someone had broken in!

However, this place was heavily guarded. So, how did the outsiders get in?

Also, where were they hiding?

Then, he glanced at Prestin's secret chamber. This chamber could only be unlocked using Prestin's fingerprints and passwords, so it would be impossible for anyone else to get in.

At this thought, the captain didn't pay attention to the secret chamber anymore.

"Search this place carefully. If something important goes missing, Prince Prestin will definitely punish us! If that happens, we have to be responsible for our own mistakes!"

The captain became cautious again as he said this.

Upon hearing this, Mango and Nathaniel could not help but feel a little frightened.

Just now, they had been almost caught by those men!

"Show me your arm."

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was currently concerned about Mango's arm.

After hearing his words, Mango finally felt that her wound was hurting.

Then, she looked at her arm. A patch of her skin had already turned right, and she felt as if she had been burnt.

"This is a gas bomb that spread through the infrared rays. It has a high temperature, so it can even melt through metal! When you dodged the rays, it must have hit you then. Luckily, the rays didn't hit you directly, or else you could never use this arm anymore!"

Nathaniel had done some research on these weapons, so his eyes immediately burned up in anger.

"Although Angolla is not large, the military equipment and security system are quite advanced. I finally understand why Laborn and Atlas are so obsessed with that mine now!"

"They want to use it for military reasons!"

Mango was not stupid. When she heard what Nathaniel had said, she immediately reacted.

After all, Laborn needed money to improve his military weapons and train his soldiers. Hence, if he wanted to buy the most modern military equipment, he would easily spend a lot of money.

After all, Angolla was a small country. Even though it was a rich country, they couldn't train their soldiers easily. Furthermore, Laborn and Atlas were coveting the mine, so they had to train a large army to take over it.

"But this is a small country, so where could they hide the soldiers that they had trained?"

Mango was very confused about this.

However, Nathaniel whispered in reply, "Everyone is a soldier here."

Mango was stunned whens she heard what he had said.

All the people here were soldiers?

If everyone in this country could be a soldier, then they all had to be afraid.

In other words, everyone in the country, whether old people, women or children, could be treated as a soldier. Therefore, how much strength did they even have?

Mango didn't even dare to think about it.

"Urgh! What does Laborn plan to do? Does he want to take over the world? How could he be so cold?"

"Well, humans will always be greedy, and we will always want different things. I think that Laborn and Atlas want to take over the world and rule over everyone. If someone who has good intentions become this world's leader, it would still be fine. However, based on what these two people have done, I think that everyone will only suffer if they take over the world. Anyway, let's forget about them for now. We need to heal your wound quickly, but I don't think we have any medicine or tools to do so here. Alas, Mango..."

Suddenly, Nathaniel looked heartbroken and upset.

On the other hand, Mango knew what Nathaniel wanted to say, so she smiled and said, "I'm your wife, so do you think that I'm so weak? I've already been burnt until my body was scarred all over, so I can withstand anything!"

When Nathaniel heard that Mango had been burnt until she was scarred over, he knew that who had caused this.

"I'm sorry."

Even if he had to apologise for the rest of his life, Nathaniel would never take the pain that Mango had felt when she had been burnt. Hence, he would always regret and remember this incident. "I'm not saying this to make you feel guilty. Anyways, I have some alcohol disinfectant and a dagger in my bag. The only thing we can do now is to remove the burnt muscles so that the muscles can grow again. I know a bit about medicine too. Even though this gas bomb only scraped my skin, it will turn an infected wound soon, and I will get a fever because of it. If that happens, I will only drag you down. Also, based on what has happened, I think that we've already been exposed. We don't have much time left, so Nathan, don't think about this too much and do whatever you want. I believe in you!"

Mango stared at Nathaniel with determined eyes as she said these words. After all, she was brave, and she trusted him so much.

On the other hand, Nathaniel's heart suddenly hurt so much that he felt like he was about to suffocate.

He had been on the battlefield and had encountered such a situation. Naturally, he knew what was the best action to take right now. If one of his soldiers was hurt right now, he would not hesitate to take action, but the person in front of him was his wife. So, he really couldn't do it!

Then, Mango held his hand and felt Nathaniel's palm tremble slightly. She smiled gently and said, "Nathan, you're trying to save me here. Also, you should know that this is the easiest and simplest way to save me, right? I can withstand it."

"Bite my arm then. If it hurts, you can bite on it as hard as you want.

Right now, Nathaniel knew that he could only do this. After all, he could not afford to drag this situation any longer as Mango would soon be infected.

He struggled between his rationality and his feelings for Mango for a few seconds. However, in the end, he decided that he had to act rationally right now.

He loved Mango and naturally hoped that Mango would be safe and sound. However, since something had happened, he could only do his best to keep her safe. After all, this was the most important task right

now.

Then, Mango nodded.

On the other hand, Nathaniel did not dare to look into the eyes as he was afraid that he couldn't take action.

Alas! It turned out that he had grown weaker now because Mango was his weakness.

Nathaniel mocked himself, but he immediately dipped the knife into her flesh accurately and quickly.

After all, he knew that if he hesitated slightly, Mango would be even in more pain.

When Nathaniel had dragged the hot knife that was covered in alcohol over her skin, Mango was in so much pain that she was trembling, and she had even broken out in a cold sweat. However, she didn't dare to scream as she was afraid that her screams would distract Nathaniel.

After all, she knew that Nathaniel was having a much harder time than her right now. Hence, she bit on her lip harshly until he was bleeding.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was very skilled. He didn't know how to cure diseases and save people, but he was still good at peeling her skin and scraping her burnt muscles away.

When Mango felt that she was about to collapse, Nathaniel had already taken care of her wound. Then, he used the gauze to wrap Mango's wound, only to find that she had already passed out because of the pain. Even when she fainted, she was still sitting in front of Nathaniel. Also, he felt heartbroken when he saw the blood that seeped out of the corners of her lips.
