Mango was also startled when she heard the ringtone.
She could recognize all of Nathaniel's ringtones, but she was not familiar with this one.
"What happened? Is there something wrong with Michael?"
Mango couldn't help but ask this when she heard that.
Then, Nathaniel smiled and replied, "It's all right. I've got everything arranged, but yes, it's Michael. I'll go pick up the call, so give me a moment."
"All right."
When Mango heard that Michael was calling Nathaniel, she did not ask further. After all, Mango knew Michael was definitely loyal to Nathaniel.
Then, Nathaniel went out with his phone in his hand.
When Nathaniel left, Mango could finally relax.
She thought that the hot spring there was amazing, and she could feel that the tension of her muscles and joints had been relieved. Thus, she felt extremely comfortable right now.
Soon, Mango fell asleep in the hot spring.
After Nathaniel came out, he instantly answered the call.
"What's the matter?"
Nathaniel's sounded upset.
After all, Michael knew that Nathaniel had brought his family on a trip. However, he still called, which only meant that he had something important to discuss.
When Micheal heard Nathaniel's cold voice, he couldn't tell whether the latter was angry or not. Thus, he just spoke quickly, "There are some men looking for you, and they've search all the places nearby."
Nathaniel paused for a while, and then sneered, "Heh! They really don't know how to give up. Who are these people?"
"Chief Zhang, I don't know who ordered him to look for you as if you were a fugitive. Haha! This reminds me of that time when I was on the wanted list many years ago."
Michael said sarcastically.
Nathaniel's eyes narrowed, and he then said in a low voice, "Alright, I get it. Can you handle it yourself first? If they want to find me, let them do what they want. I'm at the Nove Dragon Pool, so I think they won't be able to find me here." "That's true because they thought you had already
run away. Who would have thought that you were travelling with your wife and children? But just in case, you'd better be more careful. After all, he is not easy to deal with since he has gone through a lot these years."
There was a trace of worry in Michael's voice.
"Yeah, I know what to do."
After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel stared at the scenery outside, and he could not help but sneer.
Why were these people chasing after him? However, he could not answer this question.
Was it because Bettany was from Longford County? Were they making a big fuss out of this because he had come in contact with Bettany before?
After all, he was of high status, and he could even be considered an influential figure. Thus, why were the higher- ups wasting so much effort to look for him? They even made him looked like he was a fugitive!
Furthermore, what had happened to Brantley and the Hans family?
When Nathaniel thought about this, he became worried, so he called Michael again.
"How is Brantley Xiao now?"
"He's trapped in the area, and they cut off all his connections. Ah! They're basically putting him under house arrest..."
Nathaniel's expression changed when he heard Michael's words.
When Nathaniel had ingested the memory poison of Longford County, he started to hate Brantley. Thus, this meant that he did not resent Brantley personally as he was feeling this way because of the poison.
However, Brantley was Mango's grandfather. Furthermore, no one knew exactly why Longford County had been exterminated. Now, even Brantley had even been placed under house arrest. Thus, Nathaniel would not believe it the chief was the one who had ordered everyone to do this.
"What about the Hans family?" Nathaniel asked again.
"Mateo isn't in the country, so there's no news from him. On the other hand, Terrance shut himself in the house recently. There are some people wandering around their house from time to time, and I think they are watching over them."
Nathaniel smiled evilly when he heard what Michael had said.
"These people are really fearless. Are they insane?" "Who knows?"
Michael replied in a sarcastic manner.
Then, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "You send some people to protect the Hans family secretly."
"Got it, Thomas has already arranged it."
