The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1763

Maximilian had been chasing after them. Zion's lips curled up slightly, and he deliberately slowed down when he took off.

Evangeline and Aziel also breathed a sigh of relief because of the slow speed. Otherwise, they would have vomited uncontrollably.

It was also at this time that Evangeline realized that Zion's identity and his world might really be different from her own.

Although she was a foreign princess and had experienced a sudden situation, this was the first time she had experienced such a life-and-death battle.

She always said that she had been pursuing Zion for 20 years and thought that she knew him very well. However, at this moment, Zion was shining like a diamond, making it impossible for people to look away. It was as if he was born to belong to the sky, as if he had long become one with the plane.

This kind of tacit understanding, if he didn't really like it, or if he didn't train for a long time, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Was it really right to let the eagle, which should have soared in the sky, land on the ground and become an ordinary human being?

For the first time, Evangeline had doubts about her pursuit.

Zion noticed Evangeline's thoughtful gaze, but he couldn't care less. The lives of the three of them were in his hands. He could only say in a low voice, "Throw away those messy things in your mind and send a message to the ground quickly. Let them chase after the enemy and try to make sure that those people behind won't be able to go back!"

"Okay."

Evangeline quickly came to her senses.

She called Sissaye as soon as possible. After all, except for knowing Sissaye's number, she didn't know anyone else's at all. She had Benjamin's personal number, but she didn't think it was appropriate to call him. Just like Zion reported to the superiors, he called Benjamin instead of calling Sissaye, which was inappropriate.

When Sissaye saw Evangeline's call, she really didn't want to answer it, but she knew that Evangeline was definitely with Zion now. She took a deep breath and suppressed the various emotions in her heart. She directly pressed the answer button.

"What?"

"Zion told you to start setting up a defensive formation as soon as possible. He told you to chase and intercept the enemy behind us so that they won't be able to go back."

As for how to chase and block them, it should be a secret message between Sissaye and Zion. Evangeline didn't ask and directly conveyed Zion's words.

Although Sissaye was a little upset, she knew that the situation was urgent. She quickly said, "Tell Zion to not worry. We're in the middle of a project. We promise that he'll land safely." "Thank you."

Evangeline's words sounded harsh to Sissaye.

"You're welcome. It wasn't for you anyway. If it weren't for you, Zion wouldn't need to go through all this."

His words pierced Evangeline's heart like a knife, but she didn't refute or explain it. Instead, she hung up the phone calmly.

Zion was already her boyfriend. As a loser, Sissaye had the right to complain and be unhappy with her.

Seeing that Evangeline had hung up the phone, Zion said in a low voice, "Get me a glass of water." "Okay."

Evangeline was afraid that Zion couldn't drink the water as the plane was unstable. She put a straw in it and handed it directly to him.

Zion looked ahead and directly put the straw in his mouth to drink water. His confident actions and eyes warmed Evangeline's heart.

"Do you know who is chasing us?"

"It must be Maximilian. I blew up his ship. At that time, I was the only one who could be found in the sky above the sea. If he didn't chase me, who would he chase?" Zion was quite confident.

Evangeline didn't say anything else. Instead, she went back and stayed behind with Aziel.

Suddenly, a missile flew over from the side of their helicopter. Then there was a loud bang, and something was hit.

Evangeline quickly looked back. The billowing smoke made it hard for her to see anything, but the shock still made her and Aziel unable to come to their senses for a long time.

Although she was a foreign princess, she had never experienced war and had always been peaceful. She had been by Zion's side all these years. To be honest, she did not understand these war- related things. Although Aziel had received training, it was the first time he had been in such a situation. It was impossible for him not to be nervous or afraid.

Zion was the only one who was as calm as ever. After the people behind him were blown up, Zion slowed down and immediately flew the plane toward the Santell Capital.

"After such a thing happened, it's impossible for me to go back to Ocean City first. I'll go back to the Santell Capital first to explain everything."

Evangeline had no objection to Zion's words.

When the plane arrived at the capital, Carlson arrived with Benjamin and Sissaye.

Sissaye's eyes turned red the moment she saw Zion.

Benjamin stepped forward and punched Zion.

"Zion, what are you doing? Do you still think we are brothers? I just said a few words to Evangeline. If you don't like it, you can scold me back! You can hit me too. What's wrong with you? You threw a big mess at me and left by your will. Have you ever thought about our feelings?"

Benjamin's eyes turned red as he spoke.

Zion looked at him and pushed him away. Then, he said with a disgusted expression, "Why are you crying like that? Those who don't know the truth will think that I have a special relationship with you. I'm just retired. It's not a life-and-death separation. Do you have to cry like that?"

"Why not? We've been together for more than ten years, and it has always been you who guided me. Now that you suddenly brought me up and left, I'm at a loss. How can I go forward in the future? You should be responsible for me."

Benjamin became more and more like an abandoned wife.

Carlson looked at Zion and frowned. His eyes were full of reluctance, but he couldn't speak casually.

Evangeline suddenly felt that she was unnecessary to stand here.

The people here were all true brothers who had experienced life and death on the battlefield. However, she seemed to be incompatible with them, but she could not leave. It was a little awkward and uncomfortable.

Sissaye stepped forward and gave Evangeline a shove.

"It's all your fault! You are a jinx!"

Evangeline didn't pay attention to it for a moment and was pushed straight. When she took two steps back and almost fell down, a pair of strong arms firmly supported her, and the familiar breath instantly rushed into her nose.

Zion's cold voice suddenly burst out with suppressed anger above her head.

"Sissaye! Apologize now!"

Zion's expression looked terrible.

It was the first time that Sissaye had seen Zion treat her so seriously and so angrily.

Usually, no matter what she did, Zion would not say a word. Sometimes, he would even clean up the mess for her. But now, for Evangeline, he was actually angry with her?

Not only that, but he also wanted her to apologize to Evangeline. Why?

If it weren't for Evangeline, would Zion leave the military region? Would he have left them?
