The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1707

"Have I seen you somewhere before?"

As soon as Merle finished speaking, the other party suddenly looked up. However, he was slightly stunned when he saw Merle's appearance. Then, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"You've got the wrong person."

"Is that so?"

Merle sneered. He pushed his wheelchair forward and said, "The Dark Night Empire was forcing and pressuring you. How could you resist it? You're an old acquaintance, aren't you? Steward Wang!" Upon hearing this, Steward suddenly trembled and said, "You have mistaken me for someone else."

"It's easy to prove it whether you admit it or not. We'll find out the answer after doing a DNA test. I remember that the Dark Night Empire had the DNA results of most people!" Hearing Merle's words, Steward's eyes immediately widened. Seeing this, the onlookers instantly grasped the situation.

"Mr. Malthus, do you mean that he is from the Dark Night Empire?" "Only the member of the association knows best about the interrogation process. I remember that they once had a physical limit tests to avoid the arrestment. I believe this doesn't affect him at all."

Merle's face darkened.

After several rounds of renewal and elimination, the former members of the Dark Night Empire had been disbanded. However, Merle remembered it as the person looked familiar. He quickly found some information about this person.

This person belonged to the Dark Night Empire back then.

Steward was silent after his identity was exposed, while Merle was enraged.

He picked up the whip next to him and whipped Steward. The strength of the whip was so strong that his skin was cut and his flesh was torn apart.

"As a former subordinate of the Dark Night Empire, how dare you frame your leader instead? Do you deserve to be part of the association?"

In fact, Steward was quite capable.

In the past, Merle even wanted to promote him to be an assistant. Unfortunately, the Dark Night Empire was dismissed back then, so he could only send him away. Unexpectedly, this person was a backstabber.

Steward gritted his teeth, as a trace of shame flashed across his eyes. He didn't argue but endured Merle's punishment.

Seeing him like this, Merle's eyes immediately darkened.

"Who is it? Who is your new leader?"

Steward clenched his teeth and refused to back down.

Merle was getting uncomfortable.

"Do you really wish to die here?"

"Merle, kill me."

Steward finally opened his mouth, but it was not what Merle wanted to hear.

"Kill you? Then let your new leader to take advantage of this and attack Mango? How can you betray the Dark Night Empire? Don't you remember how the team treated you before? Do you want to let us become the target of public criticism?"

"No! I have never thought so, and nothing will to the Dark Night Empure."

Steward opened his mouth in a hurry, but Merle had already understood.

"You guys coming for Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Steward's face turned a little pale.

Merle was displeased.

He threw the whip aside and said to the people around him, "Investigate his current identity. No matter how confidential it is, we must find out. If it doesn't work, call Zion. Zion is definitely capable of finding out the mastermind behind this!"

Hearing Merle's words, Steward immediately panicked.

"No! Merle, you're going to implicate Zion!"

"But Mango is Zion's mother! Don't you think you're also ruining Zion by doing this?"

Merle's eyes were so cold that made Steward speechless.

He lowered his head and remained silent. Merle did not force him anymore. Instead, he ordered someone to keep an eye on him and went to Mango's room on his wheelchair.

Meanwhile, Mango was resting in her room. She immediately opened her eyes when she heard the sound of the wheelchair,

"Is there any progress?"

"Yes."

Merle nodded and poured a cup of hot water for her.

Mango didn't want to drink it at first. However, she took it after noticing Merle's worried eyes.

"It's the former member of the Dark Night Empire."

Hearing this, Mango was slightly taken aback.

"Isla's subordinate?"

"No."

Merle shook his head and said, "Although Isla used to be the head of the Dark Night Empire, she had died a long time ago. It's impossible to have people working under her now after her death. I have my own speculation."

"Say it."

Mango's heart skipped a beat.

Merle looked at her and the Nathaniel, who was lying unconsciously. Then, she whispered, "I'm afraid that it was done by the higher-ups."

"Hmm?"

Mango frowned slightly, she felt a little sad.

Nathaniel fought for the country, but how could the person in power do such terrible thing?

It seemed that their efforts were all for nothing.

She was exhausted.

"Merle, what are you going to do if you leave the Dark Night Empire?"

Mango suddenly switched the topic and Merle was stunned.

"Leaving the Dark Night?" "Yes, if there's no Dark Night Empire anymore, and you'd return to society and freedom awaits. What do you want to do most?" Mango looked at him and said friendly. Seeing this, Merle was feeling more at ease.

"Maybe I can open a bar. I wanna be a bartender."

"Is that so?"

Mango imagined how Merle would look as a bartender. She couldn't help but smile and say, "Then choose a place. I'll invest in you then."

"It's fine, I have the money to open a bar."

He seemed to have understood Mango's decision.

They had spent too much effort in the Dark Night Empire. They were sick of endless betrayal.

Merle sighed and said, "Have a good rest first. Leave the matters to me."

"Okay."

Mango watched as Merle leave the room. Then, she gently held Nathaniel's hand and stroked his cheeks while whispering, "Is it true? Your most trusted friend, who you came to the overseas battlefield for his sake. You even gave up everything just to support him in succeeding. But what about now? What will you do if he goes against us? Nathaniel, I am glad that you are unconscious right now. At least you don't have to face such a terrible matter."

After that, her eyes suddenly narrowed a little.

Could it be Carlson Mo?

Carlson was responsible for the disbandment of the former Dark Night Empire. However, such an unexpected situation had happened and what was there to be afraid of?

Was he afraid that Nathaniel will compete with him forthat position?

Was that possible?

Wasn't it enough that Nathaniel had transferred all the assets abroad? How far would they go?
