The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1696

The moment Henry was shot, he seemed to notice something from Walter's cold and emotionless eyes.

Although he also knew that this was the best way to handle it, he couldn't watch Alaia being killed mercilessly by his own friend.

Henry felt Alaia's body trembling in his hands. He suddenly jumped up and punched Walter on the face.

"How dare you hit my sister! I'll kill you!"

Henry seemed to be crazy and fought against with Walter.

Originally, the mercenary was still suspecting that Henry and Walter were ganged together. He was extremely confused by their behaviour.

"Captain, they don't seem to know each other. Otherwise, why would they have such a deep hatred? If the man hadn't blocked the shot, it would have hit directly on the woman."

The mercenary on the side hurriedly said.

The captain naturally saw it, but he said coldly, "What's the rush? Anyway, they are all people with evil intentions. It's good if they fought against themselves, at least I don't have to do it." "But if that person dies the higher-ups will put the blame on us..."

The captain's face suddenly changed. He kicked the soldier and said angrily, "What's wrong? Why are you so obedient? Do you want me to recommend you for a raise?" "Captain, I was wrong."

The mercenary quickly apologized and acted cautiously.

Although Henry and Walter were fighting, they still closely observed their surrounding.

The two of them could not communicate at all. This is because any sound would be heard, and there were crocodiles everywhere. It was impossible for them to leave the water. Soon, the two of them were exhausted.

Henry was injured and suppressed by Walter. It was so painful that his whole body was twitching. Then, he took the opportunity to bit Walter on the arms.

The two of them were finally apart. Their bodies were covered in blood, and their eyes were red with a murderous glint.

The captain seemed to be satisfied and said with a smile, "Well, I'm not a bloodthirsty, cruel person.

Throw them into the water. As for this woman, send her into my room."

His eyes swept over Alaia with a meaningful glance.

Henry was immediately anxious.

"Don't touch my sister! If you dare to touch her, I swear that I will kill you!"

At this time, Henry was in a mess and his eyes were scarlet red. However, he looked attractive in Alaia's eyes.

It was worthwhile to have such a person working so hard for her!

She was not a pretty woman, so ordinary that no one could remember her appearance. However, she was glad to have someone who was willing to do anything for her. Then, she smiled. She said softly, "Henry, you have to live well."

"Hey! Alaia! Alaia!"

Henry felt devastated.

This was a foreign land, a battlefield, a cruel purgatory on earth. What if Alaia...

Henry had never been so desperate.

Even when he was working undercover around Bernard, he still had hopes that Mango would come to save him sooner or later. Even if he only had one breath left, Mango would still bring him home.

But it was different now.

What happened here was completely unknown to his own country.

Everything Alaia was about to face and suffer would be the cruelest thing in the world.

She was not alone.

She had him and Walter by her side, but they couldn't save her. They could only watch her be humiliated and die.

The feeling of helplessness pierced into his chest, making his limbs cold and his heart numb.

He couldn't wait to die before her, so he didn't have to watch what was going to happen.

Alaia smiled brightly at him with tears in her eyes. However, she knew that she was happy at this moment.

If she had told Henry earlier that she liked him, would there be a happy ending?

However, she was glad that she did not confess her feelings to Henry. In that case, even if she died, Henry would only treat her as a sister.

Everything would be over soon.

Henry would forget her as time passes by. After all, she was an insignificant being, disappearing with the wind, leaving no trace.

Alaia used to think that she didn't have so much affection for this world. She had tried hard to repay Mango for saving her life, but at this moment, she really didn't want to die.

She wanted to experience the feeling of being an ordinary person. She wanted to try to pursue love.

But it was impossible.

Walter noticed Henry, but he would rather kill himself than admit that he knew him. He wanted Alaia to understand that Walter was protecting Henry and her.

With Walter's skills, he might be able to leave this place safely. However, he would rather stay here despite the torment and injuries than escaping for his life. This meant that he had a plan.

It was her and Henry's unintentional intrusion that ruined his plan.

This plan might be related to Nathaniel or even the warriors behind the country.

So Alaia deserved to die, wasn't she?

She finally experienced it after years.

She was dragged by the hair by someone as she staggered upon the house with her injured foot.

Henry struggled like an angry beast, but he was knocked unconscious by someone.

He stared unwillingly in the direction of Alaia and slowly fell into darkness.

Walter clenched his fist tightly, as veins bulging through his hands.

Henry was Mango's subordinate and so was Alaia.

He couldn't let anything happen to her!

D*mned it, Nathaniel!

He was usually so powerful, but how could he absent in such a critical moment?

Did he really think that he, Walter, was omnipotent or invincible?

He was in so much pain!

If Henry and the others hadn't broken in, he might have really fallen into a coma and had a fever.

Walter cursed Nathaniel in his heart, as he narrowed his eyes.

If that doesn't work, he would have to risk his life and save Alaia.

Walter knew that he was a little impulsive now, but he had been away from the military region for so many years. He couldn't take it anymore.

He knew that the best choice was to sacrifice himself and save the others. This was for the sake of the country and many people. However, why couldn't he bear it?

Meanwhile, there was no sound in the room.

Walter didn't think that the mercenary captain would be kind enough to let Alaia go. The only explanation was that she wanted to keep her last dignity and didn't want the two men to feel uncomfortable. Why did a girl come here alone? Walter knew very well.

If they hadn't lost contact with each other, the Dark Night Empire wouldn't have come! And Alaia wouldn't have been there!

He would rather die here than exchange his life for a woman's her innocence and dignity.

Thinking of this, Walter suddenly took action!
