Nathaniel didn't know what Mango and the others were discussing. He just felt that someone who dared to grab his wife in front of him couldn't be let off so easily.
After entering the water, Nathaniel followed the direction of the current. There was a black figure swimming very fast in front of him, and Nathaniel did not fall behind. Seeing the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, the other suddenly took something out of his arms, pulled it open, and threw it directly at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel dodged it subconsciously, and the thing split open instantly. Then, black fog came on his face, blocking Nathaniel's sight suddenly.
It was a smoke bomb!
Nathaniel quickly held his breath and waited for the fog to dissipate before looking for the figure, who was now nowhere to be seen.
He was a little depressed, but he did not want to let it go, so he went on for some distance and found a hole that led to the outside. However, it was blocked by a safety door.
Nathaniel couldn't tell if the safe door had been opened, and in order to check, Nathaniel went forward and wanted to open it, but he was hit by an electric current and almost fainted.
The door was connected to electricity, which meant that this was the Acker family's defense door. Did that mean that the person didn't come in from here?
Nathaniel was somewhat unsure.
He looked around again and did not find any other exits, but there was not enough oxygen left now.
Therefore, Nathaniel had to return quickly.
"Nathan, are you all right?"
Mango had been waiting for Nathaniel, and when she saw his head pop up, she quickly stepped forward to pull him up.
Nathaniel climbed up with the help of Mango's hand.
Priscilla had originally intended to pull him up too as in the past, it was her job, but Mango was a step ahead of her. Only when she saw Mango make a move did she realize that her current identity was no longer suitable for such an action and immediately stopped in her tracks.
Tristan looked at her coldly as he knew exactly what she was thinking. His cold eyes made Priscilla pause suddenly, and when she looked up, she met his eyes.
There was coldness and anger in them, but also a hint of sadness.
Priscilla was stunned slightly, and when she looked at Tristan again, he had already turned his head away from her and walked over to Nathaniel.
"How was it?"
"There's someone down there. I followed him all the way to your defensive door, but I was fogged by a smoke bomb. I didn't see where he escaped. Maybe he's still in the water, but I didn't find him."
Nathaniel's words made Tristan narrow his eyes slightly.
"To actually know about our defense door, that naturally means that they are familiar with our family. No matter who this person is, he is making us all feel uneasy. Since he likes water so much, then he should keep staying in there."
A cold smile appeared on Tristan's lips.
"Run electricity on the hot spring. No one is allowed to stop without my order."
Tristan's command stunned everyone.
Water was a conductor of electricity.
If that person was really still in the water, such an action would electrocute him to death.
It could be seen that Tristan did not want that person to live at all.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel had no objection to this.
The person had scared his wife, and it was already a bargain for him to be electrocuted to death.
Nathaniel took off the diving gear, and someone had already connected the hot spring to a power source. Tristan gave a signal, and the switch was immediately pulled down. The water sizzled instantly and was bubbling.
"Ah!"
Shortly after, a miserable male voice came from under the water as he struggled and quickly emerged from the water.
"Help, help!"
He shouted loudly, but Tristan and Nathaniel acted as if they hadn't heard him. They stared coldly at him, and when Mango saw that it was a man, she was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Nathan, he may have seen me naked just now."
Mango was so upset that she was about to cry.
Nathaniel's eyes darkened suddenly.
Then, he suddenly made a move and a dagger instantly shot out from his palm and accurately shot into the man's eyes.
"Ah! My eyes!"
The man was howling in pain and his bright red blood was dyeing the hot spring red. However, no one dared to come forward, and no one dared to make a sound.
About a few minutes later, the man was not struggling anymore, and although his body was still twitching and making sizzling sounds, he didn't make a sound anymore.
"Get him out of there."
Tristan said coldly.
His men quickly turned off the power and pulled the person up.
The man's face was unfamiliar, and even Priscilla did not recognize him.
"I've never seen him. Maybe he's a guard."
This was Priscilla's guess.
She knew many people, and after all, she was the Fifth Princess of Angolla. Sometimes, she would sneak into the national treasury to check the country's popularity, and although she hadn't seen the entire population clearly these years, she had seen almost all the people of this age.
If it wasn't a face from the documents, they were likely to be a guard of the other royalty in Laborn's palace. These guards were trained since childhood and were naturally top secret, so they would not appear in the country's population system.
Hearing Priscilla's words, Nathaniel and Tristan's faces froze.
If it was a guard, whose would it be?
Laborn's?
Or Atlas'?
Could it be Prestin's?
But it was impossible to guess who he was, so Tristan said directly, "Take off his clothes. Strip him naked. Maybe there will be some marks on his body."
