The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1521

Mango snapped out of her reverie and said to Bettany, "Thank you."

"I can't accept your gratitude. After all, I can't cure Queena."

Bettany was a straightforward person and she only spoke the truth. She really didn't manage to cure Queena.

"Thank you too. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know if my mother was still alive."

Mango apologized for her earlier actions.

Bettany didn't expect that Mango would do this, so she couldn't help but look at Mango with a warm gaze.

"Madam, it's normal for you to worry about your mother, so you don't have to apologize to me. I'll go to the Grey family's mansion and find out what's going on."

"All right."

Mango said with a heavy tone when she watched as Bettany left the wine cellar, "Do you think that everyone in the Grey family has been killed?"

"You can't say that. Wait for my brother's news first."

Harris could not help but feel somewhat annoyed as he watched the couple bickering.

"Hey, can you guys stop showing off your love? Please consider my feelings, okay?"

Nathaniel rolled his eyes at Harris and said, "You are so old, but you still can't find a wife. Harris, are you sure you're okay?"

"F*ck you, you're the one with the problem. Hurry up, how am I supposed to deal with this? I've been in contact with your wife."

Harris was a little speechless. They couldn't expect him to stay in the cellar forever, right?

Nathaniel calmly cut his finger and placed it in Harris' mouth.

"Oh..."

"I can't save you if you spit it out. The Golden Lancehead Venom is in my body and my blood has completely fused with it, so I'm immune to all types of poison." Nathaniel explained.

Harris sucked two times before he spat it out and he said with some disgust, "If so, why did you let Bettany extract blood from your wife?"

"Drinking blood is so disgusting. If there were other methods, why would I make my wife do such a revolting thing?"

Nathaniel's words were a little heart-wrenching.

Harris felt as though his chest had been stabbed.

Since Nathaniel didn't want Mango to do something so dirty, why didn't he take Harris into consideration as well?

Nathaniel said faintly and he really wanted to know what Harris was thinking, "You are a single man, so why do you care so much? No one will kiss you."

This was a heart-wrenching statement.

Mango, who was listening at the side, couldn't help but smile.

"Well, it's all right now. Let's go out first. If anything happens to the Grey family, we need to report to the higher-ups as soon as possible. I'm pretty sure Carlson is having a hard time outside." Nathaniel decided directly.

There was still a coppery taste in Harris' mouth, but it was a little sweet. He was very curious about the Golden Lancehead Venom, but he also knew that he had no chance to study it. When the three of them walked out, they saw Carlson sitting by the side with a solemn expression.

"Carl, there's something for you to decide."

Nathaniel's words made Carlson nod.

"Bettany told me briefly about what happned. Explain what's going on to me."

"Harris will tell you about it. I've arranged for Mango to go to the Grey family. I'm a bit worried because my brother is alone, so you'd better send some of your men to follow me." Nathaniel knew that once this happened, the matter with Lucas' blue eyes would be delayed and the higher-ups would no longer specifically keep an eye on the Ye family.

Carlson also thought of this as well. If his father no longer kept an eye on the Ye family, then he should go back.

His carefree life was coming to an end.

Harris quickly said, "Nathaniel's blood can suppress any kind of poison. I think everyone who's going there should drink some of his blood just in case. After all, they will always be around Master Mo and we can't afford to bring any contagious factors back with us."

Nathaniel's mouth twitched.

"Harris, are you doing this deliberately?"

"Everyone should share good things, so you can't just give your blood to me, right?"

"I did that to save you." "I accept it, but I have a point. Shouldn't Master

Mo drink it too?"

Harris and Nathaniel were talking one after another, which made Carlson a little confused.

"Stop it, you two. How old are you? You look like children."

Carlson's words made them shut up.

Mango's heart ached, "If that's the case, how much blood would Nathan have to give?"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Ye. I promise it won't exceed 400ml."

Harris deserved a spanking.

Nathaniel glared at him, but he did not say anything else.

They went to the living room. Nathaniel drew some blood and the people who were going out each took a sip. Nathaniel forced his children to drink a little, so he was relieved.

"Zion, Wisdom, Rita, I have to go out. Although Ned and Merle are guarding the house, you have to protect your mommy and brothers, understand?"

"Got it, daddy."

The three children hurriedly nodded.

Mango said with some worry, "If something really happens, you can call me anytime. Don't keep it from me."

"All right."

Nathaniel kissed Mango before he went out with Harris and the others. Carlson thought for a moment and followed them.

Nathaniel opposed it initially, but he finally acquiesced at the thought of Carlson's identity.

When they arrived at the Grey's mansion, Maverick had already arrived and Bettany was waiting for them at the door. When she saw Nathaniel, she hurried forward. "Sir... Mr. Abbott found the basement. It doesn't lookgood."

"What?"

Nathaniel was slightly stunned.

Bettany said, "Many of the bodies belong to servants of the Grey family, but they have long been dead."

Her words stunned everyone and Carlson's face darkened.

"Let's go in and have a look."

"The smell inside is extremely pungent. Master Mo, you must have been mentally prepared."

Bettany reminded him kindly.

Carlson did not speak, but he knew that Bettany was not causing unecessary alarm.

The group of people went in. Finally, Nathaniel, Carlson, and Harris went downstairs and while the others waited at the door.

Nathaniel saw Maverick at first sight.

The basement was big, but the smell was extremely strong. There was not only the coppery scent of blood but also the smell of rotting flesh. There were other scents as well, but Nathaniel couldn't identify them.

"Maverick."

Maverick didn't look at Nathaniel. He just nodded and said, "They were injected with a type of poison. They killed each other under the influence of the poison. If I'm right, they were used as test subjects." "Poison?"

Nathaniel glanced at Maverick.

Maverick had poison in his blood and he could produce poison because his body could detoxify itself. Although there was a certain risk, who would want to create a test subject that could produce poison? Carlson and Harris didn't understand the situation, but they wouldn't ask much as the scene in front of them was very traumatizing.

These people had been dead for about half a month and maybe they had been killed after Abby returned.

They seemed to have lost their minds and kept killing each other. There were even severed arms and legs everywhere. In the end, they were hugging each other when they died and maybe they were biting each other.

One could see the darkest side of human nature from this event, but it also made people feel uncomfortable.

Maverick didn't realize that there was someone behind him, so he couldn't help but curse, "Why did they come down? There is the smell of poison. I'm afraid..."

"They drank my blood. They should be fine."

Maverick didn't say anything after hearing Nathaniel's words.

"Master Mo, since you're here, I'll tell you that we can't move any of the corpses move out. If they're exposed to the sun, the poison will evaporate and it will spread like a plague. I'm afraid that the entire Ocean City will be in danger."

"What?"

Carlson was immediately frightened.

"Then what should I do?"

"Burn these corpses."

Maverick's words were very faint, but they took a toll on Carlson.

"I need to report it to my father." "Okay, but we have to do it as soon as possible."

Carlson hurriedly went out and called his father.

This was a big deal, so Brenson didn't dare to neglect it and he quickly agreed.

Nathaniel asked Carlson and Harris to go up first after he took some photos. He said to Maverick, "Maverick, do you have other discoveries?"

"No, I don't."

Maverick shook his head.

"The other party is an expert in poison and he's not afraid of being discovered. I'm very confused. This type of poison can't be used in Ocean City, so who would bring such an evil weapon here? And what is their intention?"

"Have you found Jameson?"

Nathaniel asked hurriedly.

"No. He isn't among these corpses."

Maverick immediately said, "But I've contacted Jameson. He's at sea, so he probably doesn't know anything happened to his family."

"You contacted him? When?"

"I sent Jameson a message after you told me that something had happened. He replied to me as

well. Take a look."

Maverick handed his phone to Nathaniel.

It was really a message from Jameson, but the signal wasn't strong at sea and the reply couldn't be sent successfully.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with Walter's call. I'm worried about it now."

"Don't worry, Walter has good skills and it should not be a problem for him to protect Deborah. He should have found something important when he called us, but the signal was blocked. Now the most important thing is to find Walter's whereabouts."

Maverick knew the relationship between Nathaniel and Walter, so he said quickly.

It didn't take long for the Carlson to come back with the items that Maverick needed and kerosene.

"If we ignite it here, the outside won't be affected, right?"

This was what Carlson cared about the most.

"No, but this house needs to be sterilized and ventilated. It will be inhabitable for a long time."

Fortunately, the Grey family was big and affluent. After they purchased an entire piece of land with a radius of a few kilometres, they only built a single villa.

"Alright. I'll send someone over to ventilate it every day."

After everything was settled, Nathaniel asked Harris to take Carlson and his people away. He stayed behind to deal with the corpses in the basement with Maverick and they set the bodies on fire. Nathaniel said emotionally when he looked at the raging fire, "No matter who that person is, I must find them. It's a pity that we can't inform the death of these servants to their family members."
