The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1398

"Watch out!"

Nathaniel suddenly pounced on Mango, and the arrow brushed past his shoulder as a trace of blood spurted out.

The warm liquid splashed on Mango's face, making her nervous.

"Nathan, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine."

Nathaniel rolled over with her in her arms, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand had been thrown while Tristan and Priscilla quickly took out their pistols and shot in the opposite direction

The scene was a little chaotic.

Seeing that they had failed to strike them, the other party quickly retreated, but a few people were also spared.

The scene became intense in an instant.

Tristan took Nathaniel's arm and said, "You must leave here immediately. Laborn will definitely know that something is up once he hears those gunshots. He will come here personally soon. It will be bad if you and he were to meet at that time."

"Alright."

Nathaniel absolutely agreed on protecting Mango first.

"I'll have Teagan pretend to be me and stay here to welcome Laborn. After you and Mango leave, if those people have really come for you, they'll definitely follow you. Since they had dared to make a move in broad daylight, they'll be even bolder after you two leave the Acker family. At that time, I'll catch them from behind, but you guys have to be careful."

Tristan felt that it was better to take care of it himself rather than handing it to someone else.

"You too, be careful."

Nathaniel patted Tristan's shoulder before leaving with Mango.

Fortunately, they didn't have any luggage, so they didn't need to pack up.

Meanwhile, Tristan had already begun gathering his men when Priscilla stopped him hastily.

"I want to go with you."

"No, you can't. You are the Fifth Princess. How is Teagan going to explain your presence when Laborn comes?"

Tristan refused her request directly.

Priscilla, on the other hand, said unyieldingly, "It wasn't Teagan who took me back then. It was you. In Laborn's opinion, it was an assistant who took away the Fifth Princess. Why do I need to cooperate with Teagan anyway?"

Tristan was stunned as he didn't expect that his identity gave Priscilla the excuse to fight back.

However, he looked at Priscilla and said slowly, "I won't let you go no matter what."

"Why not?"

"Because Nathaniel is too important to you. You are willing to sacrifice anything for him, so I will not let you go. When danger comes, you will only think of him but not yourself. I don't want to bury you just yet." After that, Tristan asked someone to keep an eye on Priscilla.

For so many years, Priscilla had always been on her own, no matter during happy or hard times. No one had ever said to her that she needed to protect herself.

Therefore, when Tristan said these words, Priscilla was stunned, and even her eyes were a little moist.

This man was actually not that bad.

With this thought in mind, Priscilla stopped arguing.

Then, Tristan left through the back door with his men.

After Mango and Nathaniel left the Acker family, Mango asked with some concern, "Have you thought of where to go?"

"Not yet, but now, we must lay low. Laborn's people may arrive soon. Should we go to Prestin's place?"

Nathaniel planned to attack Prestin now.

Mango immediately understood what he meant.

"You're not thinking thoroughly. If we go to Prestin now, Laborn must think that we have joined forces with Prestin, and my cousin's suspicion will never be cleared." "That's not enough. If we want to get rid of Lebanon completely, we have to make a move on him."

Nathaniel's words stunned Mango.

"Are you sure? Do you really want to kill my cousin?"

"I'm putting on a show, but he needs to suffer some injuries. Let's go to Prestin's first."

Nathaniel had already formulated a plan, so Mango naturally followed, but she was still a little worried.

"My cousin won't be hurt too badly, will he?" "Don't get involved in this matter. I'll do it. Let's go to Prestin's villa first. I heard that he is not in the palace now, and he's in the villa." Nathaniel's words made Mango slightly stunned.

"How do you know? I've been with you all this time, so you can't have gone outside without me knowing, right? Unless someone else is helping you?"

Mango felt that Nathaniel was simply too unfathomable.

However, Nathaniel merely smiled without saying anything. There were some things that he didn't want Mango to know in order to avoid making her feel afraid.

Seeing that Nathaniel had no intention of speaking, Mango did not ask any further. However, knowing that Nathaniel had someone helping him here, she felt a little assured. Not long after the two of them left the Acker family, a car approached them from behind.

"Sit tight."

Nathaniel glanced behind them and instructed Mango.

Mango quickly grabbed onto his hand.

The car behind them hit them like crazy, and the people inside even shot at them openly on the

street.

Mango quickly crouched down.

"There's a gun in the passenger seat."

Nathaniel said as he drove.

Mango didn't have the time to ask how did Nathaniel know that there was a gun in the car that they had got on hastily at the Acker family's entrance.

Nevertheless, she quickly took it out and shot back.

The chaotic gun battle immediately attracted Laborn's attention.

"What's going on?"

"It seems that there was a shooting incident near the Acker family. Our people said that they saw a car heading for the Acker family, but before they reached the gate, they were attacked by unknown attackers. His subordinate's report made Laborn's face sank.

"Who is the driver?"

"We checked the surveillance video. Although we can't see clearly, there was a man and a woman. They seemed to be Nathaniel Ye and Mango Shen."

These two people had always been a big problem for Laborn, and now that he had gotten news on them, he couldn't sit still any longer.

"Take our people to the Acker family's and tell them that we are there to protect Mr. Acker and Princess Priscilla."

"Yes, my lord."

The subordinate immediately went to execute the order while Laborn prepared to head there in person.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked the guards beside him, "What are Prince Lebanon and Prince Lexis doing?"

"Prince Lebanon is in his room and is not coming out. Prince Lexis just left the palace and went to his villa. We don't know what he is doing, but our people are following him." When he heard this, Laborn's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Did the second prince contact anyone while he was in the palace?"

"No, he didn't."

"Keep an eye on him. Report to me immediately if there is anything."

"Yes, my lord."

Then, Laborn left the palace while in deep thought.

"Have you found

the person who is after

Nathaniel? Who is it?" "I'm not sure, but he looks like Prince Atlas."

The guards' words made Laborn frown.

Laborn knew that Atlas hated Mango and Nathaniel to the bone, but couldn't Atlas wait any longer in this situation? Or he could at least just tell Laborn beforehand.

Did Atlas still regard him as an elder brother and a king?

Laborn was very unhappy, but now, he had no time to contact Atlas.

Soon, the group of people went to the Acker family's mansion.

On the other hand, Mango and Nathaniel had been dodging the attacks from behind. However, it seemed that the other party would not give up until they had killed the two. No matter how many people they had lost, they did not care, and their targets were obviously Mango and Nathaniel.

Mango took a glance at the road and realized that Nathaniel was driving towards the palace, so she couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say we are going to Prestin's? Why are we heading to the palace?"

"We can't go to Prestin's so brazenly. Otherwise, how could Laborn, the old fox, fall for it? He'll know our motive at a glance. We have to go find Lebanon first. If necessary, I will shoot him. Then, we will leave and report to Prestin. Even if Laborn suspects Lebanon, he will dispel that suspicion immediately."

Nathaniel's train of thought and target was clear, so Mango only nodded. Although she was feeling anxious, she did not ask further.

Nathaniel continued, as if he knew about Mango's worries, "The car that stopped at the entrance of the Acker family's was driven out of the palace by my men. The figure and attire of the people inside are similar to ours, and I specially asked them to tint the windows too. This way, the surveillance would capture them and they will think that it was us, and they would think that we came from the palace. This way, Tristan wouldn't be affected."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's arrangement, Mango felt very warm.

"Thank you for that."

Mango knew that Nathaniel wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble if it wasn't for her brothers.

"I'm yours."

Nathaniel's words instantly made Mango crack into a smile.

Yes, he was her husband, and Mango Shen's only.

A sense of pride arose from the bottom of her heart when she thought about this.

Soon, they arrived at the gate of the palace, and someone was already waiting for them.

"Mr. Ye, you're here. Please come with me."

The man was wearing the palace's guards' clothes. He looked unfamiliar and ordinary, and it was impossible to recognize him in a crowd.

Mango glanced at the man subconsciously, but she did not ask anything after discovering that she did not recognize him. Instead, she followed behind Nathaniel and quickly headed towards Lebanon's palace. When Lebanon heard his own people say that Nathaniel had come with Mango, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hurry up. Check where the people my father had left are. If possible, let Nathaniel deal with them. Forget it, our people should not go out. If Nathaniel is here, my father's people will shoot him. At that time, we will attack them from the inside and completely kill those b*stards."

A hint of cruelty flashed across Lebanon's eyes.

"Yes, my lord."

However, his subordinates did not move, and the people watching over Lebanon outside became uneasy.

"Aren't Nathaniel and Mango outside? Why are they in the palace?"

One of them asked.

"Who knows? But if we can kill them, we'll have made a contribution."

Another person said as he loaded the gun with bullets.

After Mango came in, she loaded the gun. Soon, the guard who brought them in took a turn and disappeared.

Nathaniel quickly said, "Shoot when you see the people at Lebanon's door. They should be left behind by Laborn to monitor Lebanon. Can you handle those people?"

"No problem, but where are you going?"

After Mango asked, Nathaniel's eyes flashed as he said," To assassinate Lebanon."

After that, they separated.

Mango was struggling to deal with the people outside. Soon, she heard a loud 'bang' from inside, followed by a servant's scream.

"Prince Lebanon is in danger! Someone help!"
