The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1078

Did someone just hold her hostage?

What the f*ck!

Was he kidding?

Why was she so unlucky?

She was held hostage wherever she went!

Did the abductors really think that she was a pushover?

At that moment, Mango wanted to resist, but she heard the person behind her say, "You'd better not move if you don't want to die. I just want to borrow your speedboat to hide."

"I don't think that you're borrowing it considering your action, are you?"

Mango gave a cold snort.

Borrow?

What a nice way to put it.

Later, Nathaniel saw this scene when he got out of the boat.

"Don't move, or else I might do something to this beautiful lady..."

The man smiled evilly.

Then, Nathaniel frowned.

He would most likely win if he took action, but he was afraid that there might be a sniper around as the streets were really quiet.

The man before him had paint on his face, so Nathaniel could tell in an instant that he was a special forces soldier. He might be a mercenary who could kill people without batting an eye.

Nevertheless, these people were obviously not aiming at Nathaniel and Mango, but they were just unlucky.

"What do you want to do? Let go of my wife and I can promise you anything."

At that moment, Nathaniel's eyes darkened a little.

The man nodded and said to Mango, "Please board the boat, beautiful lady."

At this point, Mango could only obey him.

She looked at Nathaniel a little gloomily and said, "Your birthday is ruined, isn't it?"

She spoke in their mother tongue.

Then, Nathaniel said with a smile, "We can make it up later."

"That's not a good idea! I heard that we can't postpone birthday celebrations as it'll bring us misfortune... Urgh, damn it!"

Mango got on the ship again.

However, the man raised his eyebrows.

"Which one of you is having a birthday today?"

He spoke fluently in their mother tongue too and it made Mango and Nathaniel stun for a moment, but none of them spoke.

Whoever was having a birthday was none of his business!

Soon, the two of them got into the speedboat. Suddenly, a dozen people came out from behind the man and boarded the boat with him.

Mango and Nathaniel frowned when they saw that they were all martial arts practitioners.

They were all wearing camouflages and it made it hard for others to see their faces clearly. However, their fierce and fiendish appearances showed how vulgar they were.

After Mango boarded the ship, the man did not make things difficult for her. Instead, he let her go to Nathaniel's side.

"Are you alright?"

Nathaniel frowned as he looked at her.

Then, Mango shook her head.

She sat down beside Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, the man looked at them and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a cake regardless of whose birthday it is today."

Then, he sent someone to buy a birthday cake.

Mango wanted to reject, but Nathaniel held her hand tightly.

She paused for a moment before she fell silent.

"Thank you."

Nathaniel said blandly before he kept quiet.

He and Mango sat at the side and they let the man observe them as he liked.

The man stared at them and frowned slightly.

Nathaniel's temperament was overwhelming and he still gave off an oppressive aura even though he was just sitting there in silence.

At that moment, the man's eyes sank a little.

Soon, his subordinate brought a birthday cake.

It was a mousse cake and it was usually Mango's favorite. However, she had no appetite at all now.

"It's so ugly."

Then, Mango's words made the man frown slightly.

"Did you hear her? The pretty lady said that it's ugly. Go and buy a beautiful one!"

The man seemed to be easy-going, but Nathaniel sensed how dangerous he was.

He was a dormant beast who seemed calm at the moment, but his wildness was written all over him.

Nathaniel held Mango's hand and said, "Are you cold?"

"Yea, a little..."

Mango nodded.

The ship was not as warm as their house. Besides, the temperature here was really low and it could be below zero degrees.

So, Nathaniel held Mango's hands against his mouth and started warming them up with his breath.

A happy smile appeared on Mango's face as she saw the white mist.

At that moment, they were looking into each other's eyes and it made the man frown.

"You're so in love with each other."

However, Mango and Nathaniel didn't bother to respond to him at all.

His eyes became slightly cold.

"I hate seeing others so in love with each other, so...what should I do? I actually wanted to celebrate your birthday at first."

The man's voice was pleasing to ears although no one could tell if he was good- looking.

Nevertheless, he had ruined the date between Nathaniel and Mango, so he was unforgivable in Mango's perspective even if he was handsome.

At this moment, it was obvious that the man in front of them wanted to attack them.

Just as Mango was about to make a move, the sound of a gunshot suddenly came out from outside.

The man's face changed in an instant.

"Start the boat!"

Immediately, he raised his hand and pointed the gun in his hand at Mango's head.

Mango really hated this feeling and she wanted nothing more than to beat these few people up.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's gaze darkened as a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.

He hated being threatened by others the most. What's more, this man in front of him was threatening Mango and that was simply unforgivable.

"You'd better put down your gun... I can give you the boat and let you take your people away."

Nathaniel's voice was cold.

However, the man sneered and said, "I can get the boat after killing you too." "Well, go to hell." After saying that, Nathaniel pushed Mango away before lifting his leg and kicking towards the man's wrist.

The people around Nathaniel saw that he took action, so they immediately charged toward him. They even shot at him without hesitation.
