Nathaniel frowned and said in a low voice, "Well, let's think about the problems that we're facing now. The mining task didn't go well.
Then he reported everything to Carlson. Although he knew that Morgan would report everything to the higher-ups, Carlson was his direct supervisor, so Nathaniel had to carry out his duty as well.
Meanwhile, Carlson couldn't stay still anymore after hearing Nathaniel's report.
"I'll go talk to grandpa and see if he has any good ideas. Try your best to protect Barack. If you can't, send him back to Santell Capital. I'll send over a helicopter."
Carlson considered Barack's safety and decided to let Nathaniel put the mining task on hold.
Nathaniel had no objections either.
After hanging up, Nathaniel returned to his bedroom. On the other hand, Mango had also just finished a call too.
"Who called you?"
Nathaniel asked subconsciously.
After hearing his question, Mango replied softly, "Morgan. He said that the higher- ups had instructed us to stop the mining and wait until we find a suitable method. There are too many deaths right now. Thus, the higher- ups feel that we shouldn't waste the lives of the soldiers like this."
"Master Mo said the same thing. He may send a helicopter to pick up Barack so that the latter can go back to Santell Capital to recuperate too."
Well, Nathaniel knew how important Barack was to Mango, so he told her about it.
Mango was slightly stunned, but he also felt that this arrangement was better for Barack.
"What about my aunt? Did you tell him about her?"
Nathaniel nodded and said, "Master Mo will bring Magnolia back with him. After all, she is your grandfather's only daughter. He has worked hard and achieved great things for the nation, so they won't disappoint him."
However, Mango said with some concern, "Once Aunt Magnolia is sent back, and since we've also rescued Barack, Lebanon would be in great danger."
"Nah, I don't think so."
Nathaniel shook his head before saying, "If Laborn still wants to continue controlling Magnolia, he'll keep Lebanon alive. This way, he can obtain information and other things that he wanted from Magnolia. After all, he thinks that both of them have a good relationship. Thus, Laborn will consider doing this because she saw how Magnolia had cared about Lebanon previously."
Even after hearing his explanation, Mango was still very worried. Although she knew that Nathaniel was telling the truth, she still felt unsure.
"What about us then? What should we do? Shall we go back with them? If we go back now, will the investigation on both you and Morgan end?"
"Nah, I don't think it'll end that quickly. Master Mo already knows about Magnolia, but he is going to interrogate all the women of the Fang family. If the investigation has not ended, Morgan and I would need to act as decoys to deceive the enemy."
Nathaniel explained, and Mango was quite satisfied with the plan. After all, she had already experienced so much, so it didn't matter if she had to endure a few more days.
Suddenly, she frowned as if she were thinking about something.
On the other hand, Nathaniel stepped forward and took her into his arms. Then he said softly, "I know you are worried about Lebanon and Henry, right?"
"Yeah, you're right."
Mango did not hide the truth from Nathaniel.
After losing contact with Henry for such a long period, Mango was terrified. She was afraid that she couldn't protect Henry, and she was worried that Bernard would find out his location. Furthermore, she was frightened by the thought of Henry ending up as a corpse. Thus, Mango was in a bad mood when she thought about how all of this could happen.
After that, Nathaniel whispered, "If Master Mo doesn't arrange other tasks for me, I will take you to Angolla. At that time, we will take our revenge and turn their world upside down."
"Is that alright?"
Mango immediately raised her head, and her eyes shone with anticipation when she heard this suggestion.
Nathaniel smiled in reply and said, "Yes, if Laborn really dared to detain Aunt Mo, then I'm sure that it's time for him to pay the price by destroying his country!"
"Are you sure that the Union Nations won't look into this matter?"
"Nah, Angolla is just a small country, so the Union Nations wouldn't care about it."
Nathaniel wanted to destroy this group of ambitious people because of this.
On the other hand, Mango thought of everything his grandfather had endured, the tragic death of her parents, and how the king's family had tricked the Ye family. Thus, she couldn't help but say, "Well, that thought excites me indeed."
"You have to be patient. Don't worry, we'll receive some news about it soon."
Nathaniel comforted Mango.
After that, the two of them then hugged each other for a while. Suddenly, Mango's stomach growled, which immediately made her a little embarrassed.
"Um... I think I'm hungry."
She whispered with a red face.
Nathaniel's lips curled up slightly when he saw this.
"Yes, I heard it."
"Why don't you go get me something to eat then? Look at my aunt! She got up early in the morning to prepare food for Barack. Boohoo! Nathaniel, you don't love me anymore."
Mango pretended to start crying immediately.
Nathaniel was speechless when he saw this. Then, she said, "Please, Magnolia was the one who woke up to cook for Barack."
"Hey, are you saying that I'm not a good wife?"
Mango raised her eyebrows as she questioned him, and Nathaniel immediately admitted defeat.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. It's my fault. I should be punished for making my wife hungry. Why don't I serve you well after breakfast later?"
Mango's face suddenly turned red to the back of her neck when she heard his teasing.
"Urgh! You're getting more perverted these days!"
