The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1375

"She's here to save you. We were lucky to have her just now, or else, our people would have been hurt by infrared rays."

Well, Mango indeed still hated Isla, but she didn't feel like killing Isla anymore.

On the other hand, Isla didn't speak, and she looked at Nathaniel with some warmth in her eyes. Well, Nathaniel had seen this kind of warmth before when he was a child. However, as time went by, he felt overwhelmed when he saw this gaze.

Then, Nathaniel turned his head to the side and whispered, "You've closed the infrared system here, so Bernard will find out that something happened here quickly. Also, he locked me up secretly, and he doesn't want Laborn to know about it, so he may come by himself. Although we don't have enough people now, I think we can still capture him while we catch him off guard."

"What? Do you want to use yourself as bait?"

Mango immediately understood what Nathaniel was trying to say.

"That's right."

Nathaniel answered immediately and did not hide

anything.

"We must catch Bernard, and this is an excellent opportunity to do so. After capturing Bernard, we can bring him back to out country. On the other hand, Bernard disliked Laborn because the latter hurt him before. Thus, we can make use of the civil war between Atlas and Laborn."

This was Nathaniel's idea.

Mango frowned slightly when she heard this.

"Well, Atlas and Laborn have worked together with each other for so many years, so we can't fool any of them easily. Thus, I don't think that our plan can succeed."

"What if I deliver this news personally then?"

Isla suddenly said.

Nathaniel and Mango were stunned after hearing her words.

"Are you planning to tell them about this yourself?" "Yes, I'm on Laborn and Atlas's side. They know the current situation I'm in, so they think that I won't side with you. After all, they think that I will die if I do so, so I have no choice but to rely on them if i want to live. If I look for Atlas and tell him that I managed to escape from Laborn's clutches, maybe Atlas will believe me. However, if Bernard is still alive, I don't think Atlas will offend Laborn immediately. After all, Bernard is his only son, so he will definitely save him first."

Isla said as she analysed the situation carefully.

After Mango and Nathaniel came over, they had blocked the signal. After all, they wanted to know whether Maverick was Atlas's son, but they had not received the report. Thus, they couldn't help but frown when they heard what Isla had said.

"Is Maverick really not Atlas's son?"

"No, he is the child born after Madeline and Atlas' guards had sex. At that time, Atlas didn't want Madeline to give birth, but he needed something that he could threaten Madeline with. Hence, he knocked Madeline out and got his guard to make love to her, and so, Maverick was born. He thought that Madeline would tell him about the entrance to the mine because they had a child. However, he didn't expect her to prioritise her clan over her child, so she was furious. Thus, when Madeline escaped to the Ye family, Atlas had wanted to kill Maverick. However, he felt that it would be such a waste, so he decided to let Maverick live and test the vermin on him. He reported this incident to Laborn before, and I've also seen the actual report."

Isla told Nathaniel and Mango what she knew honestly.

On the other hand, Nathaniel was enraged when he heard this.

Urgh! Atlas deserved to die!

However, Isla was right. If Bernard didn't die, Atlas would probably turn against Laborn. But it was too late to ask for instructions from the higher-ups now.

After all, he was on a critical mission in a foreign country, so he had to make some of the important decisions himself.

Besides, Bernard had committed heinous crimes, so it was not wrong to punish him on the spot.

At this thought, Nathaniel nodded.

"Let's do it this way then. Mango, you have to take care of yourself later."

"All right."

After Mango and Nathaniel had discussed the strategy they would use, they immediately carried out the mission.

On the other hand, Bernard had gotten the news, just like they had expected.

"Mr. Gaylord, the infrared system in the northern suburbs has been shut down."

Bernard's eyes narrowed suddenly when he heard what his subordinate had said.

"What? Do you know whose people they are?" "They don't seem to be from our palace. After all, we have been watching the king's people, but they had not done anything. The people from other palaces also haven't made any movements. Prince Lebanon and Prince Prestin are both at the state banquet. Furthermore, Princess Prissy and Tristan are in the room, and they won't come out for a while. Also, we've also been watching Princess Prisca, but she hasn't done anything."

After hearing what his subordinate had said, Bernard immediately could guess that Mango was the one who had shut down the infrared systems.

"Hah! I've underestimated you, Mango Fang! I didn't know that she would have other people helping her other than Lebanon. Alright, this is a perfect opportunity to see who's supporting her! Furthermore, we can get rid of the people backing her up too!"

Bernard said confidently.

However, his guard was a little worried.

"Mr. Gaylord, I'm worried that the king will be upset if we leave the banquet suddenly like this."

"Tell the king that my father is here with some news, so I have to meet him right now. Anyway, he still needs my father's financial resources so that he can support the military research of the country." "Yes, sir!"

The guards quickly left to carry out Bernard's orders after that.

Then, Bernard quietly emptied the glass and left without anyone noticing.

Meanwhile, even though Prestin and Lebanon looked like they were casually sipping wine, they had been paying attention to Bernard. When Prestin saw that Bernard had left, he immediately signalled his men to follow behind Bernard.

On the other hand, Mosco glanced at Lebanon and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what should we do?"

"Don't do anything. Instead, send someone to tell Prisca to get her men to follow Bernard. Right now, we shouldn't involve ourselves in this situation."

As Lebanon said this, a mysterious gaze flashed across hie eyes.

Didn't Prisca say that she would cooperate with him and make him the next king?

Well, he wanted to see how capable she was now then.

After all, he couldn't be involved in this situation now. This was not because he coveted the throne, but he was doing this for Mango and Nathaniel's sake.

Well, Laborn had already come to his palace before the banquet. He was sure that Laborn didn't come to talk about the past merely, and the latter was probably already suspicious of him. Thus, now that Laborn was monitoring him carefully, he decided that it was better for him to not do anything. After all, he was still not powerful enough to fight Laborn directly.

At this thought, Lebanon continue to socialise with the crowd and pretended to not care about anything else.

Meanwhile, Mosco did not leave either. She just asked a waiter to deliver a note to Prisca. When Prisca received the message, she immediately signalled for Sina to arrange for someone to follow after Bernard.

Well, of course, Bernard knew that many people were following him, but he didn't care.

After all, he knew that Nathaniel had likely escaped because the infrared rays had been turned off. Hence, he didn't know what kind of trap was awaiting him there. Therefore, the people who were following him could save his life at any time.

Well, he had to admit that he could trust no one in the palace. After all, everyone had their schemes.

When Bernard arrived at the northern suburbs, Nathaniel was no longer there, just like he had guessed. Instead, the people lying here were all his subordinates, and they were no longer breathing. Urgh! They were so cruel

Well, Bernard had never thought that Nathaniel was a pushover or a kindhearted person. However, Nathaniel had always controlled his actions and temper because of his military rank. However, was he planning to wipe Bernard's men all out now?

Hah! It was evident that he and Mango were not easy to deal with.

"Turn on the monitoring system and quickly find Nathaniel's location."

After all, no one knew that he had installed a tracking device on Nathaniel. Thus, even if Nathaniel had escaped to a faraway place, Bernard would still know his location.

On the other hand, while Bernard was still thinking that he had the upper hand, Nathaniel played with a small object in his hand. It was the tracker that Bernard had placed on him.

"What is this?"

"Well, I think Bernard put this tracker in me when he looked me up. He thought I didn't know about it, but I think he forgot my capibilities How could I not find it? Oh, well, since he thinks that he can rely on this tracker, let's use this to defeat him then."

Nathaniel's lips curled up slightly as he said this, and a cruel smile appeared on her face.

Hah! He was a computer expert, but Bernard had used such an ordinary tracker on him. Well, well. Bernard had underestimated him instead!

After hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango immediately knew what he was going to do.

"Where are you going to put this?"

"Hmm, I was thinking to put this in where Aunt Mckenzie was kidnapped. After all, that place is one of Laborn's terriroties. If Bernard died there, even Atlas would believe that his brother had betrayed him indeed."

Isla immediately agreed to his plan after hearing what he had said.

"That's right. That place belongs to Laborn. No one can approach that place without the king's order, including Atlas. So that place is absolutely safe, and Atlas will definitely believe it." Mango felt relieved after hearing what Isla had said.

"So, are you trying to say that that place will soon become Atlas' grave?" "Yeah. Hey! Do we have a sniper here?" Nathaniel asked, but no one responded. Thus, this meant that they were no snipers in the team.

"I'll do it!"

Mango opened her mouth and said immediately.

After all, she was already physically drained. Even if Bernard got there, she probably could not join the fight. However, she was a member of the Hans family and was the matriarch of the Ye Family. Therefore, she could allow them to leave her out of this situation right now.

However, as a sniper, she could first find a sniping spot and make the necessary arrangements. Then, she could wait till it was the right time before she delivered the fatal shot. Therefore, she could recover her stamina slowly, so it would be safer for her.

On the other hand, Nathaniel knew that Mango's decision was correct. After all, he knew that she would overexert herself when she carried our missions. However, he had no choice but to do so, so he felt a bit heartbroken.

Well, Mango was not someone that needed to be protected. She was a member of the Hans family, the Xiao family, and the matriarch of the Ye Family. Therefore, he couldn't feel bad for her as she had to do this.

He would make sure that what she had done today would be recorded in the books of history together with his achievements.

Then, Nathaniel looked at Mango and said with some worry, "Take care of yourself. It'll be better for you to find a few more sniping points. After all, Bernard can easily think about the same sniping points as you. Furthermore, we don't know whether he has a sniper in his team too, so you should find an obscure spot and protect yourself. Mango, I know that you're not weak, but you need to know that you have to survive for all of us. Hence, you have to protect yourself at all costs!"

"I got it."

Mango nodded in reply and wanted to leave, but Nathaniel held her in his arms.

He wrapped his arms around her tightly as he began to whisper in her ear.

"I don't want you to suffer, but I know that you have to carry out this mission now. Mango, I'm proud to have a strong wife like you. Hence, I'm looking forward to the day where we can return home together and receive the awards that we deserve. Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"
