The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 535

Mango heard it at last and she was eager to wake up from her dreams when she heard Walter's words of grief and frustration. However, she was helpless because she could not open her heavy eyelids or

move her body.

She could feel Walter's sadness but she could do nothing about it.

The thing about love and relationships was one would never fall for another if one was already in love. Even if Walter treated her very well, she would not fall in love with him because she had given her heart to Nathaniel first.

Walter had just said that this was the last time he would help her, and Mango thought so too.

Her presence would only make him uncomfortable. Perhaps it was a relief for him if they never met each other again.

Mango comforted herself this way, but she felt sad as if she had lost a family member.

After Walter left the room, he saw Genevieve coming over and said flatly, "No matter what you do, you must keep her alive."

"I will!"

Upon hearing Genevieve's promise, Walter left.

After leaving the military compound, he went straight back to the Song family's mansion.

When Carter saw him return, he growled, "So, you still remember us, hm? If I knew that you would grow up to be so insensible, I would have strangled you when you were born!"

"It's a pity that you didn't, so the only thing you can do now is to bear with me."

Hence, Walter was fooling around again, making Carter furious.

"How did I have an unfilial son like you?"

"How would I know? It's not me that had sex with my mum."

"What the..."

When Carter was about to hit Walter again, Walter caught his wrist in a firm grip.

"You are so old, and you know that you can't defeat me, but why do you still bother? When I'm feeling lenient, I'll let you hit me to vent your anger, but when I stop being that like, do you think you can touch me?"

Walter's words were sarcastic, but there was no hostility.

"Dad, I know what you are thinking. You just want Thomas back, don't you? I'm telling you now, as long as I am alive, I will not let him enter the Song family! No matter what, my mother and I are still rightful members of the family. You better show some gratitude at my mercy to your lover by letting her and Thomas stay. If not, I will kick them out of the house."

Then, he pushed Carter away and said indifferently, "I'll be going out for a few days, so you can have peace during that time. You'd better take good care of my mother, otherwise, I don't mind selling off the entire house. You know, I never cared about this family. If it weren't my mum that refused to let go, do you think that the Song family would still exist in Ocean City?"

"You..."

Carter was so angry that he couldn't speak a word, but he knew that Walter would actually do it if it came down to the wire. Walter did not give a sh*t to him and went straight into his room before he took some things and went to the dungeon.

When Susie saw him coming, she looked a little frightened, but she pretended to be calm.

"What do you want to do now? Walter, you might as well kill me if you have the balls to do so. Otherwise, I won't stop coming after you once I get out of here."

"Is that so? Then you'd better die. As long as you're dead, there's no way that you'll pose a threat to Mango."

Walter's words made Susie pale instantly.

"Are you really going to do it? I know many things that you guys don't, and I am sure you definitely wouldn't kill me!"

"You're wrong. Although you know a lot of things, you refuse to tell us. As such, we will investigate. Even if it takes more effort or comes up empty, it's nothing to me compared to you as a threat to Mango." Then, Walter slowly walked toward Susie.

Susie suddenly felt that he was like a wild animal preparing to maul her and she screamed in fear.

"Walter, please don't kill me! As long as you spare me, I will tell you everything! I will tell you everything that I know, alright?"

"Go ahead."

Walter stopped in front of Susie.

Susie looked at him and panted, "Killing is against the law even if you are the heir to the Song family, and you can't escape the law. Think about it, as long as you let me go, I will not only tell you everything you wanted to know but I will also disappear. After all, Mango is Nathaniel's woman, and she won't be grateful even if you kill for her."

"What I wanted was never her gratitude. As long as she is free of danger, so what if I turn into a murderer? Now that she has Nathaniel by her side, I just need to get rid of the obstacles and threats in her way for her to live happily."

After he spoke, Walter walked towards Susie again.

Susie panicked because his eyes were full of murderous intent.

He really seemed to want to kill her.

"Walter, you're becoming a murderer for a woman. Is it really worth it?"

"It's not for you to question whether it's worth it or not."

After saying that, Walter raised his hands and with a click, Susie's neck was twisted and broken.

Her eyes were wide open with a look of disbelief. Yet, she could no longer say a word.

She had never thought that Walter really would dare to kill her.

Walter looked at her lifeless appearance and said coldly, "I didn't kill you at first because I wanted to help Mango find some clues. Since you refused to tell me, then there's no need for that anymore, and I will find Nathaniel myself. Also, I don't know how dangerous it will be or if I can actually return home, so I need to get rid of threats like you."

After finishing his words, he turned around and left, allowing Susie's corpse to slowly rot away into nothing inside the dungeon. When he came out, he happened to meet Carter.

"Who did you lock up in your prison cell?"

"If you want me to die, or if you want the Song family to be exiled from Ocean City, you can open it and let everyone see."

Then Walter left after he said that to Carter.

Carter was a little curious, so he opened the door of the dungeon. However, he was paralyzed with fear.

"Walter, you unfilial son! Are you planning to frighten me to death?"

Carter trembled all over, but he calmed down not long after.

No one could ever find out about this.

He quickly closed the door of the dungeon and even added two locks to the door.

At the end of the day, Walter was still his son.

Regardless of what Carter had done, Walter couldn't be bothered to care as he directly got into the car and went to find Nathaniel using the route that Mango told him.

On the way, he could see many clues left behind by Nathaniel. If Mango knew about these, Walter

was sure that she would not stay put in the Ye family's mansion, let alone stay in bed to recover from her illness.

It was no doubt that Nathaniel had evil enemies, but they had met their match with him. If it was any normal person, it was likely that they would have died long ago from the attempts on their life. When Walter drove to the town where Nathaniel went missing, he felt that there was nothing strange here.

He came to a small hotel. After he booked a room, he questioned the landlady.

"Ma'am, did anything special happen here a few days ago?"

"Special? What are you referring to?"

The landlady was a middle-aged woman. When she saw that Walter was handsome, she couldn't help but tone down her voice.

On the other hand, Walter was a notorious playboy and he saw through her intentions very early on. However, he really didn't have the mood to think about these things at that moment.

"Ma'am, if you tell me something, maybe I can consider giving you some money."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of cash from his wallet.

The landlady's eyes widened when she saw the money. She immediately smiled and said, "This is a rather lawless area, and you would be surprised that there are actually a lot of things going on under this peaceful facade."

"What do you mean?"

"For example, human trafficking and drug use."

The words of the landlady made Walter frown slightly.

Nathaniel had come here because he was tracking down the trafficked children. He probably thought it was Zion, so when the landlady said that human trafficking was involved, his eyes flickered slightly. "Human trafficking? Where do the human traffickers sell the children to?"

Hearing Walter's specific question, the landlady then said, "We have an Underground City here, which will only be opened at night. The children who are sold will be categorized according to their looks. Those who are more beautiful will be auctioned as dolls to rich people, but for those who are not as beautiful, they will be sent to rural mountain areas as wives for men that are single."

"It's truly lawless here!"

Walter had seen much of the world, so he didn't react much. However, he felt a deep hatred in his heart.

Human traffickers were the most abominable people in the world and he couldn't vent his anger even if he tore them to pieces. Unfortunately, the law still couldn't convict them. Since Walter was speaking in a casual tone, the lady boss couldn't sense his true emotions and she asked uneasily, "Hey handsome, you're not an undercover cop, are you?"

"I don't have that much free time, but I just want to go in and take a look. Can anyone enter the Underground City?"

Tm afraid not. If everyone could enter, we wouldn't exist till today."

The landlady said hastily.

Then, Walter handed her the money and said, "Tell me how to get in, or point me to someone who can get me in and I will give you twenty-thousand more."

"T... twenty-thousand? Seriously?"

Upon hearing this, the landlady's eyes were shining with greed.

He didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so he directly took out twenty-thousand and flung it on the counter.

"Help me settle this and the money is all yours." "No problem, hot stuff. You can rest first and I will take you to the person in charge of this place later at night because only he can give you the pass to enter the Underground City."

Upon hearing her words, Walter decided not to waste time with her, so he turned around and walked upstairs.

"Don't let anyone disturb me before nightfall, including yourself. Do you understand?"

"Yes I know. Do you need me to bring you hot water?"

"No."

Walter had seen how the landlady looked at him. Hence, he could not guarantee whether she would take the opportunity to do something to him when she brought the hot water to him. Anyway, he was really not interested in such an old woman.

Since the landlady took the money, she would follow his every instruction.

As night approached, the landlady knocked on Walter's door and said that she would take him to see the person who would provide him with a pass.

Then Walter dressed up and followed the landlady somewhere, but Walter was completely stunned when he saw the person who handed him the pass.

How could it be him?
