The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1695

The mercenary discovered that his companion had been eaten by the crocodile. Upon seeing this, he was extremely furious against the man who did it.

"What the f*ck! You're totally asking for a beating! Brothers, drag him up and beat the hell outta him! But don't kill the man."

A man who seemed to be the captain gave the order directly.

The man was dragged up, while the surrounding people rushed forward and beat him up.

The blood stained the bamboo raft again, which was very glaring.

Henry suddenly burst into tears.

"Stop! You guys stop! Mr. Song! Walter Song!"

Henry would never be wrong.

That person was Walter!

He was Mango's cousin!

But why was he here?

Wasn't he with Nathaniel?

If Walter was here, then where was Nathaniel?

Was he here as well?

Henry didn't expect that he would find Walter by accident. However, it wasn't the right time to be happy.

Walter was in danger!

Meanwhile, Walter seemed to have heard Henry's shout and frowned slightly, but he did not respond.

The mercenary leader saw that Henry was very concerned about Walter, and he could not help stopping what he was doing. "You know him?"

"No, I don't!"

Walter spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Henry coldly. There was no warmth at all, as if they really didn't know each other. Henry suddenly realised that he had caused trouble.

He might have disrupted Walter's plan, but he could not stand aside and watch him being beaten!

The captain looked at the both of them. Suddenly, he laughed.

"Interesting. You said you don't know him, but he is worried about you. Which one of you is telling the truth?"

Walter pursed his lips and said nothing.

He had almost been tortured to death these days.

Henry looked at him anxiously. He knew that Deborah and Mango would be extremely worried if they were to see him in this tragic state.

He felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

His eyes were a little red and teary, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, the captain sneered and said, "Hey, are you guys planning on something? You're not willing to tell the truth, aren't you? Okay, bring that girl here!"

Alaia was brought up all of a sudden.

Her ankle was badly swollen and there were many injuries on her body. Obviously, she had been whipped and beaten up. There was blood dripping at the corner of her mouth and her face was swollen. Henry's eyes instantly widened.

"How dare you hit a woman? Are you still a man?"

"Well, you will know it later."

The team leader ordered someone to drag Henry up and release him from the cage. Then, Henry was immediately suppressed by them.

"Tell me, what are you doing here? What's your purpose? Do you know each other?"

Henry looked at Alaia, as he hesitated.

He knew that he could no longer save her, or perhaps he was the one who brought her into danger.

In fact, these people would not spare Alaia a chance to live. Instead, they would torture her even more.

Henry's heart suddenly ached.

He felt bad and guilty towards her. He knew he had done something wrong.

He was worried that she would be harassed and humiliated by the merciless soldiers.

Although he knew what was going to happen to the young and innocent girl, he was helpless.

It was all his fault!

He shouldn't have brought Alaia here!

Henry's eyes were full of tears, and heartbroken. He struggled, but was hit on the head by the captain's gunstock. Tears instantly gushed out of his eyes. "Henry!"

Upon hearing Alaia's scream, he immediately shed tears.

He didn't deserve it!

He couldn't save her, how could he bear hearing her calling his name.

"Don't beat my brother! Who are you? Let me go! Let my brother go!"

She struggled, but the captain grabbed her long hair, forcing her to look up at him.

She spat on the his face, anger flashing across her eyes.

"B*stard! You are a bad guy!"

The captain smiled evilly, lowered his head and kissed her lips directly.

Moonlight struggled but failed. She quickly bit his tongue, wishing to bite off a piece of meat.

The captain directly punched her in the face out of pain.

Nosebleeds oozed out instantly, as she fell on the ground. Seeing this, the captain stepped on her chest repeatedly with resentment.

She let out a muffled groan, but tightly bit her lower lip.

She couldn't cry out in pain!

She can't cry!

Otherwise, Henry would feel even more distressed and guilt!

She was a member of the Dark Night Empire! She was a soldier!

She was a secret force trained by the country.

While abroad, she represented the dignity and honour of the country.

Blood dripped down along the corner of her mouth. Seeing this, Henry felt a pang of heartache.

This was the first time he had ever experienced a heart-wrenching pain.

"If you have the guts, just come after me! Let her go!"

His eyes were red. He was hit on the head by the gun holder behind him, as blood slowly flowed down his forehead. However, he did not feel any pain. Seeing this, Walter immediately became teary.

D*mned it!

Nathaniel, why haven't you come yet?

Walter knew that he couldn't help it.

He and Henry were the same. The two men could not even protect a woman! It was nightmare of a lifetime!

But it was not the time yet. He couldn't move or do anything.

What should he do?

He clenched his fist in resentment.

He took a deep breath, then suddenly grabbed the gun from the mercenary's hand and shot towards Alaia's direction. Compared with being trodden and humiliated by the enemies, it was better for her to get a quick death and relief!

"Go back, I, Walter, will pay for her life!"

"No way!"

Henry had already realised what Walter was going to do. Just then, Alaia's determined and strong expression flashed across his mind.

Henry directly knocked down the person who held him down and rushed towards Alaia in the speed of light.

With a "bang", the bullet broke through the air and hit Henry's shoulder.

"Henry!"

Moonlight directly cried.

This time, she really cried.

She was an orphan since young. No one cared whether she was eating well, sleeping well, or sick.

She was kidnapped and taken to the mountain by the traffickers and thought that her life would be over. However, she didn't expect to meed Mango during the downfall of her days.

She had been saved. Not only that, she had also been given a chance to revive by Mango. In order to thank Mango for saving her life, she would rather spend the rest of her life serving her.

She realised the importance of brotherhood and found the long-awaited family affection upon joining the Dark Night Empire. However, her feelings for Henry was different.

He was the first person who cared about her during her menstrual cramps, and he took care of her to avoid training overload.

This time, she insisted on coming. She was the one who dragged him down!

How could she repay his kindness if he dies?
