Nathaniel noticed the silhouette rushing toward him. Thus, he lifted his foot almost immediately and kicked the person's chest.
After that, the opponent fell out of the room with a groan.
Mango quickly rushed to stand in front of Nathaniel and looked at him anxiously.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Nathaniel kept staring at the person while he said this.
The person had long hair which covered their face, so it was hard to see their appearance. In fact, their clothes were also in tatters as if they hadn't changed their clothes for a long time. However, anyone could tell that the person was a woman after looking at her figure.
Wait, was the person a woman?
Nathaniel frowned slightly at this thought.
How could a woman be living her? What if she was an insane woman?
On the other hand, Mango had noticed this as well.
"Who are you?"
Mango aimed the pistol at the woman as she asked.
After that, the woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Then, she flashed the dagger in her hand at Mango and Nathaniel.
This time, Mango stood in front of Nathaniel and aimed her pistol at the woman's forehead.
"Which one do you think will be faster? My dagger or your gun?"
Mango said these words coldly without any mercy.
After hearing this, the woman stopped abruptly.
"Put your hair aside. Tell me, who are you?" Mango continued to ask without hesitation. However, the woman snorted and said nothing. Meanwhile, Nathaniel frowned slightly and wanted to step forward subconsciously. However, the woman seemed to hate men. She was calm when she faced Mango. However, she suddenly became agitated when Nathaniel stepped forward. Then, she started to wave the dagger in her hand recklessly.
Mango looked at the woman and found that the latter's hair was a little grey. Therefore, she guessed that the woman had to be older, or perhaps her hair turned grey because of the lack of sunlight all year round.
"Sorry, we didn't break in on purpose. We just thought there was no one living here, so we came here to take shelter from the cold weather."
When Mango realised that they were the ones who barged in, she couldn't blame the woman for defending herself. Eventually, she retracted her pistol.
When the woman heard these words and saw Mango putting away the pistol, she finally put away her dagger.
Then, she walked past Mango and went to the kitchen without saying anything. She took out the water that Nathaniel had boiled and poured a pot of tea. After that, she placed it on the table and set up three cups.
She looked very skilful when serving the tea. At first glance, one could tell that she was an expert or was raised in a noble family.
Why would she be here?
Mango did not understand.
"Hello, may I know your name? I'm Mango, my husband's Nathaniel. Sorry to disturb you."
Mango took the initiative to introduce herself and Nathaniel. The woman paused for a moment before whispering, "Sit down and drink some hot tea. There's no heater here. Although it's warmer than the outside, it'll be very cold at night."
The woman's voice was hoarse. Maybe because she didn't speak for a long time, her speech was a bit stiff.
Nathaniel came over.
He was being watchful of an unidentified woman who appeared out of nowhere. Therefore, he didn't allow Mango to drink the tea just in case.
Although Nathaniel did not say anything, Mango knew what he was thinking. She glanced at the woman. The woman's eyes peeked out from her long hair, sizing them up and down.
Mango smiled and said, "Thank you."
Then, she ignored Nathaniel's advise and directly drank the tea.
The woman was somewhat surprised, while Nathaniel's eyes were full of disapproval.
"You are brave, but he cares about you."
The woman said directly. Then she tucked her hair behind her ear casually, showing a beautiful face.
Mango couldn't tell her age judging from her face because she looked very young. Meanwhile, Nathaniel was slightly stunned and asked in a low voice, "Is your surname Mo?"
Hearing this, the woman's eyes instantly became
sharp.
"Who are you?"
She became tensed again, as if she was on full alert.
Mango didn't know what was going on. The woman was looking fine just now, but now she was full of malice and had a murderous glint in her eyes. Terrified, Mango quickly tugged Nathaniel on the shirt.
Nathaniel remained unmoved. Looking at the woman, he asked, "Do you know Carlson?"
As soon as he finished his words, the woman suddenly raised the dagger in her hand again and put it directly on Nathaniel's neck.
"Who the hell are you?"
"You are Mckenzie, right?"
Nathaniel was surprised.
He had never expected that he would find Mckenzie, just upon arriving at Angolla.
Upon hearing the mentioning of her name, Mckenzie looked at him with a hint of joy and excitement, she couldn't help thinking of something.
