The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1272

"Dad, what's the matter?"

Although Rita felt that something was amiss, she was still too inexperienced to understand the situation.

Mango quickly pulled Wisdom into her embrace as she whispered, "There's an ambush lying in wait."

Although her body was a little weak, she still had a basic sense of alertness and sensitivity.

Nathaniel shot Mango a worried look before he said in a low voice, "Don't go in for now and just stay outside with Wisdom. I'll go in and have a look."

"Dad, what about me?"

Rita actually wanted to help Nathaniel out. Her specialty was sniping. As long as she could find a high spot to hide, she could make things easier for Nathaniel.

Nathaniel knew what she meant. He caressed her head with a smile and said, "Your mission is to accompany mom and stay safe. We'll have a good meal later."

Dad, I..."

"Be a good girl, listen to me."

Nathaniel cut Rita off. Then he got out of the car with several bodyguards.

Mango felt that this car was now a sitting duck. If the enemies had really prepared an ambush, they would have been easy targets.

"Wisdom, Rita, we need to get off."

Mango could no longer stay here and wait for the assault passively.

Rita said hurriedly, "I have flash bombs and tear bombs. I asked Angela for some just in case before she left."

Wisdom paused for a moment and said upon hearing this, "Give them to me."

"Brother Wisdom, I can do this."

"Hand them over!"

Wisdom was extremely solemn.

How could he allow Rita to do such a dangerous stunt?

Rita looked at Mango in a somewhat wronged manner. The latter nodded her head and then only did Rita reluctantly hand it over to Wisdom as she muttered in a low voice, "I'm going to play with it. I've never used this before."

"You're not allowed to play with those in the future."

Wisdom proceeded to explain to her in an extremely serious manner. Then he pulled the hangwire and threw it out when he saw that Mango and Rita were ready.

They were unable to open their eyes because of the bright light in an instant.

Mango took advantage of this opportunity to grab the two children and run out of the car. She even rolled on the ground and hid behind the village sign of Zelle Village.

At the same time, Wisdom threw out the tear bombs in his hand.

There were coughs from all directions.

Mango took out a pistol from her waist pocket and shot it towards the places where she heard the cough.

Wisdom didn't bring any weapons with him. He took out a slingshot from his pocket, picked up some small pebbles on the ground, and shot them out according to the direction of the coughs.

Rita watched them fight brilliantly and her heart itched to join the battle. It was a pity that her sniper rifle was in the car. Besides, this place was not suitable for sniping.

She had no choice but to pretend to be a weak girl who needed protection.

"Rita, follow me closely. Don't run around, alright?"

Wisdom stole a glance at Rita and noticed that she was about to leave the village sign. Therefore, he quickly pulled her back.

Rita had planned to take advantage of the fact that the flashed bomb was still in effect to steal a gun. However, she didn't expect Wisdom to see her, so she could only stay by his side obediently.

When Mango saw that Wisdom had taken good care of Rita, she no longer had any worries.

The fierce battle ended after ten minutes.

When Nathaniel came out with his men, there were no noises at all outside.

After the bodyguards cleaned up the battlefield, they realized that these people were mercenaries who wore the same attire as those who attacked them in Longford County last time.

Nathaniel looked pretty upset.

It was Maverick!

That b*stard!

Didn't he say that he was the elder brother?

They had failed in their last attempt of assassination in Longford County, so were they trying it now in Zelle Village?

Nathaniel had shown him too much mercy.

A trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

When Mango saw that the fight was over, she walked out with the children.

"How's it? Are the people of Zelle Village alright?" "They're okay, but Angela's family was attacked." Mango's heart skipped a beat at Nathaniel's words. He asked hurriedly, "Where is she? Is she okay?"

"I haven't seen her yet. I have no idea if she was taken away."

Nathaniel was also very regretful.

They seemed to be here a little too late.

Mango was afraid that the tragedy of Longford County would repeat itself again, so she said hurriedly, "What about the others in Zelle Village. They aren't hurt, are they?"

"We reached there in time. They were not injured, but they were just locked up. Now the bodyguards are dealing with them. Let's head in first."

"Alright."

Nathaniel and Mango led the children into Zelle Village.

Zelle Village was a beautiful village. It was built by the mountains and the creeks, with good-looking villagers and fertile soil.

Mango looked at the terrified looks in the villagers' eyes. When she heard the cries of the children, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

If they had not come here, perhaps these ordinary people would not have suffered the disaster.

Rita was unusually quiet. Wisdom picked up the first aid kit and quickly checked if anyone was injured. He started his duty a doctor.

Angela came back with a group of people in a hurry. When she saw the battlefield outside, her face turned ashen.

"Where is my mom?"

She ran in quickly.

Rita spotted Angela. This time, she did not mock her. Instead, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry. We didn't see your mom and dad when we arrived, but your house was attacked. There's nothing left."
