The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1473

Zion suddenly thought of a girl.

Without a word, he directly blocked the other party's account and sent a rude message.

"Get lost!"

After this, Zion lay down to rest.

He hadn't had a good sleep since he came back. Upon witnessing Mr Ye's current state, it seemed that the matters would get even worse later. Therefore, it was better for him to conserve his energy first.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel shook his head helplessly when he noticed that his son wasn't around. Then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He blocked the surrounding signal before dialling the phone number sent by Walter.

"I was introduced by Walter. He asked me to find you."

Nathaniel spoke using a voice changer.

He wasn't ready to expose his identity yet as he had no idea who the person was.

Soon, a woman replied. After hearing Nathaniel's words, she quickly said, "I know what you want to ask. Everything here is the same as before.

However, the director went on a business trip some time ago, but there seems to be someone in the director's office. Furthermore, no one is allowed to enter the room."

"Okay, thank you. I hope you will pretend this call never happened.

Nathaniel hung up the phone immediately once he had finished his words. After that, he found the location of the director's office on his computer and sent it to Ned.

"Find out what's going on with this office."

"All right."

Ned put down his work and started to get his hands on the matter.

Soon, Nathaniel received Ned's reply that there was nothing in the director's office, and there was no clues at all. He had collected fingerprints, and no other people's fingerprint had been detected except for the director's.

After hearing this, Nathaniel was confused.

Either the informers had lied to him, or the other side was too cautious, so they had already switched location.

No matter what, the other party had erased their traces. Besides, Desmond's whereabouts was still a mystery. Therefore, he had no choice but to follow the tracker.

Then, Nathaniel checked the location of the red dot. It seemed that the other party had already entered the borders of Angolla, but they had stopped somewhere.

He quickly expanded the range of his observation and discovered the Fang's estate nearby.

Did that imply that Jose and his subordinate were associated with Atlas Fang?

Nathaniel was confused at this thought. Then, he directly sent messages to Tristan and Priscilla.

That night, Atlas's residence was caught on fire. The fire raged on for half of the day, so the civil war between Laborn and Atlas intensified greatly.

After all, Atlas suspected that Laborn was the culprit behind the fire. When the fire was put out, he began to unite with the Cabinet to attack Laborn. At the same time, Tristan and Priscilla had quietly entered the ruins of the Fang's estate.

Tristan looked at Priscilla who insisted on following and said helplessly, "Didn't I ask you to help us outside?"

"Why should I listen to you? Tristan Acker, you have been so bossy recently."

Priscilla retorted as she rolled her eyes mischievously, and she looked extremely adorable.

After hearing this, Tristan touched her head softly and whispered, "Be careful. Let me know if there is any danger and think before you act, okay?"

"Alright, okay. You're really naggy."

After that, Priscilla was about to rush in when Tristan grabbed her by the collar and pulled her to another side.

"You're going in the wrong direction. Look at you, why are you trying to be the hero now?"

Tristan smiled teasingly, but Priscilla almost flared up upon hearing his mocking words.

"You b*stard! Don't get too carried away. I'm going teach you a lesson back home."

Priscilla said fiercely. However, Tristan covered her mouth and pulled her to hide before she could finish her words.

Soon, a flurry of footsteps resounded, so Pricilla put away her playfulness and stood behind Tristan warily. She tried to stretch her neck out several times to see what was happening, but Tristan pushed her head down until she couldn't see anything.

This b*stard!

She would definitely not come out with him next time.

Priscilla muttered to herself.

The sound of footsteps became louder, and

Tristan's brows were tightly furrowed.

The other party was wearing white coats. Apparently, they were working in the research lab, but it was unclear who the lab belonged to.

Had Laborn's military research institute been brought over by Atlas?

Tristan was not sure about this.

Then, Priscilla peeked from Tristan's arm and noticed those people walking in another direction. She could not help whispering, "I seem to know that man."

"Which one?"

"I think the leader is from Laborn's lab."

Her words verified Tristan's speculation.

Sure enough, Laborn's men were controlled by Atlas.

This meant that Atlas knew too much about Laborn. Therefore, it seemed that Atlas was winning the game against Laborn.

"Tristan, what do you think is going on? Was Mr. Ye telling the truth? Did someone kidnap Desmond and bring them here?"

"I'm not sure. Let's go in and take a look. This place has been burned down and destroyed completely, but surprisingly, there are still researchers here. Clearly, the research base is here, but it seemed to be located underground."

Tristan said in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Priscilla was wracking her brain out.

Was the research base located underground?

She wondered if there was other passageways which was interconnected below.

"Follow me."

She patted Tristan on the shoulder as she said this.

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

Tristan watched her walk out and couldn't help asking.

"Just follow me. This is my territory, and I know it better than you."

The confident look of her face made Tristan chuckle.

"Alright, you take the lead then."

He doted on Priscilla too much, and this made her feel surreal.

Where did the former Tristan go?

However, Priscilla quickly shook off her random thoughts and pulled Tristan away from the Fang's residence.

The streets outside were heavily guarded. This had lasted for a long time, and it affected the citizens' everyday life.

Then, Priscilla whispered, "When will this end? In fact, the civil war is making people's life difficult. It doesn't matter to them who is in power. The most important thing they have to do is support and provide resources for the citizens here. Angolla is only a small country, but most people still advocate peace and democracy."

Tristan also knew the negative consequences that civil war had brought to the people. However, based on the current state of affairs, it seemed that the civil war should be ending soon.

"I guess it's coming to an end."

"What do you mean?"

Priscilla was astonished when she heard this.

There was certain information about the war that they could not participate and inquire about. Upon hearing his words, Priscilla was somewhat surprised.

Tristan whispered, "If the mastermind behind Desmond's disappearance is related to Atlas, it means that Atlas has someone helping him from outside. Furthermore, both he and Laborn are evenly matched, and Laborn the latter could even be in a more unfavourable position. Based on my guess, the result will be revealed in just a few days."

Priscilla was even more confused after hearing this.

"Isn't Atlas the one who caught Desmond?"

"If it's Atlas, then he wouldn't have remained so dormant over the years. Furthermore, if he were the one who started it, he would have directly killed Laborn when Bernard was dead. He wouldn't have dragged it on for such a long time. Obviously, Atlas had only come into contact with the mastermind not long ago."

After hearing this, Priscilla felt uncomfortable.

"Who is the person behind this?"

"Well soon figure it out. Are you leading me to the underground institute?"

"Yes, you've been to the place before."

Tristan was surprised by her words but immediately understood it.

"Are you talking about the military research institute that Laborn worked on? It can lead to Atlas's home?"

"It's just my guess, but we need further confirmation. Although Angolla is a small country, the underground is connected. Originally, the design is to prevent people from invading from outside, so basically people's houses have tunnels. So if it's an underground institute, there is no need to enter from above the ground."

Priscilla had studied Angolla thoroughly over the years, and now, her knowledge could help them.

Tristan looked at her and said with a smile, "What will Laborn think if he knows what you did to him?"

"He must hate me so much. Besides, he will never reflect on the mistakes he did, and he doesn't have much affection for me."

A hint of hatred flashed across Priscilla's eyes as he said these words.

She really had no affection for Laborn at all. Although she was cold-blooded and heartless towards her father at times, her father had done some unforgivable things.

Tristan looked at her as if he had something to say. However, he hesitated and did not say anything.

"Let's find the person first."

"All right."

After that, the two of them went straight to the military institute.

The gate had been locked as Laborn had closed the place because of the civil war with Atlas. However, it was still possible to enter with Priscilla's help.

She took out a key from her pocket and opened the door before walking in.

Tristan whispered, "Wow, you have the key to this place as well? Is there any place that you can't access here in Angolla?"

"Yes. I can't enter the men's toilet."

After hearing this, Tristan was stupefied.

"Haha! Did you want to go to the male bathroom? Prissy, what do you mean? I'm not good enough for you, right? Do those men look better than me?"

When Priscilla heard Tristan's shameless words, her mouth twitched and she decided not to talk to him anymore.

After they entered the military institute, Tristan found something strange.

Logically speaking, if this place was closed, everything inside should be put aside. But now, the laboratory was still in operation, and even the research specimen had been flipped over. Suddenly, Tristan understood what Priscilla meant.

It seemed that those tunnels were really connected.

Priscilla led Tristan to a place that looked like a storeroom. In a low voice, she said, "This should be the first time we've entered an underground shelter, so I don't know what's going on down here. Tristan, do we need to call a few more people in?" "No, but I have to send a message first."

Tristan had mixed emotions as he said these words. He went directly to the other side and sent a message to Teagan.

On the other hand, Priscilla didn't ask much. She felt that Tristan had big plans, and it seemed to have something to do with her.

However, Tristan did not tell her, nor did she ask about them. This was because she trusted him.

After Tristan sent a message, he was about to go into the cave with her and into the storage room. Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from below, and they immediately hid.
