As Nathaniel looked at the stunned look on Maverick's face, he smiled mockingly and said, "You didn't expect that, did you? She is like an angel to you. Maybe your father will also tell you how nice she is, so all you have is wonderful fantasies about her. But to me, she is not a worthy mother. She is not worthy at all!"
Nathaniel's words sounded a little sad and a little sarcastic. He was even a little emotional.
Mango could tell that he was moody. She was worried that he would go into a fight with Maverick because his emotions were affected by the Golden Lancehead Venom, so she quickly grabbed his arm.
The warmth and the gentle touch of her body quickly dissipated his depression and anger.
He looked at the worried look on her face and said with a smile, "I'm fine."
"I'm glad that you're fine."
Mango heaved a sigh of relief.
When Maverick saw that Mango cared so much about Nathaniel, he couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with you? Do you have health problems or something?"
"It's none of your business. Since you're going to tell us about Barack, just hurry up and get it done. I might even develop a good impression of you because of this kinship."
"Nathaniel, you are despicable. You know what I care about the most, but now you are threatening me with brotherhood?"
Maverick felt extremely helpless.
He had lived through life in a smooth sailing manner for thirty years. How did he end up meeting a b*stard brother who was so annoying?
However, Nathaniel said indifferently, "Yeah, I'm threatening you. So what? Are you unhappy? You can leave if you dislike it. No one will force you to stay."
"Nathaniel Ye, you..."
Mango couldn't help but find it a little funny when she saw the two brothers arguing. She said hurriedly, "Nathan, he is here to give us information about Barack."
"Oh, right. I almost forgot. Since my wife said so, you should tell us immediately."
Maverick was pissed off when he saw Nathaniel, who took everything for granted. However, this person happened to be Nathaniel. Maverick was depressed, angry, and helpless for a long time before he said, "I can't tell you anything else. I can only tell you that Barack is nearby. If you're able to find him, go to him. If not, just go back and don't stay here anymore. This is the last time I'm warning you. If you go ahead, you'll be in true danger."
Maverick was not exaggerating at all, but Nathaniel still replied calmly, "This is for us to decide. You just have to tell us what we want to know. Don't worry about anything else."
"Nathaniel, I'm doing it for your own good."
"Thank you very much."
When Mango saw that the two brothers were about to argue again, she hurriedly asked, "Where is my uncle now?"
"Your uncle is here..."
Before Maverick could finish his words, a bullet suddenly pierced through the air as it headed towards Nathaniel.
"Watch out!"
Maverick subconsciously pushed Nathaniel out of the way as the bullet passed by his arm, leaving a bloodstain.
Mango quickly pulled out her gun and shot in the direction of the bullet, but Nathaniel pulled her into his arms and rolled behind a rock.
There was an insidious look in Maverick's eyes in
an instant.
"Show yourself!"
Mango had never seen such a murderous aura on him before.
Nathaniel was slightly stunned as well, but then he understood the other party's emotions.
Maverick had served the army before and trained several groups of killers. How could he be a polite gentleman?
There was no movement nor noise outside.
Maverick looked upset. He took out his gun and shot randomly outside. The series of shots showed that he was impatient.
Nathaniel pulled Mango to the side stealthily, but as soon as he moved a little, the bullets came at him from outside. Obviously, the other party was here for him.
Maverick looked even more upset now.
"Stop right there! Don't you understand my command? If anyone dares to hurt Nathaniel, I'll kill his entire family!"
Maverick's eyes were red with anger, but the other party didn't listen to him at all as they focused on shooting Nathaniel.
Mango could tell as well that the other party wanted Nathaniel dead.
At this moment, she grabbed hold of Nathaniel's hand and said in a low voice, "They're targetting you. Stay where you are. I'll lure them away."
"No, I won't let a woman be the bait for me."
"Nathaniel, how can you still stick to male chauvinism at this moment? Can't you see that those people outside are targeting you? Even if I go out, they may not follow me anyway. I'm just giving it a try, don't be too full of yourself, okay?"
Mango let out a low and dejected groan.
Nathaniel suddenly felt that such Mango was simply too cute when she did this. Most importantly, it was the concern she had for him. Her eyes were shining so bright that it was dazzling.
He suddenly grabbed her head and lowered his head toward hers. He kissed her on the mouth affectionately.
Mango's mind went completely blank at that instance.
