"Isn't he performing surgery on the plane?"
Mango still remembered the news she received before she left, but when she saw Mateo being this nervous, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"What happened?"
"We just received news that Tristan's plane was attacked. The plane crashed, and we've lost contact with them."
Mateo was very worried.
Tristan was the only son of his second brother, and his brother hadn't seen Tristan all these years yet. He wouldn't dare imagine what would become of them if something happened really happened to Tristan.
"I'll send someone to look for him."
Mango felt as if the blood in her body had become frozen.
Who attacked Tristan?
It would definitely not be Laborn as he didn't have that extra amount of time and energy, so who else could it be? Could it be Atlas?
If Atlas wanted to be the king of Angolla, he would not attack Tristan. Therefore, could it be the unknown force that targeted her and Nathaniel at the hot spring?
Who could it be?
Mango turned around and was about to ask the people of the Dark Night Empire to look for Tristan, but Mateo stopped her.
"I'll handle it. You'd better take Nathan back to Ocean City. I told you the news not because I wanted you to do something, but to see if you knew anything that would help me find out who is behind this."
Mateo stopped Mango.
Although Tristan was important, he couldn't put Mango in danger either.
When Mango thought of Nathaniel's situation, she knew that she couldn't be wilful anymore. Thus, she whispered to Mateo what had happened in the Acker family's mansion.
After Mango finished, Mateo's face turned serious.
"You have no idea who is after you?"
"No. They are very cunning, and the people they sent to kill us die every time. We can't find anything."
"If that's the case, how could the two of you still act rashly when there's a threat? How could
Nathan do such a thing?"
Mateo's head started to spin.
Meanwhile, Walter couldn't stand Mateo speaking to Mango in such a manner. However, Mateo was Mango's uncle, after all, so he had no choice but to step forward and say, "Mateo, if I was there, I guess I would have done the same as well. There isn't time to make such detailed arrangements. Besides, they are weak and have no backup in Angolla. You and the army have already withdrawn, and it's already good enough that they had returned safely. As for Tristan, I think he would have had a way to survive. It's just that he might not be able to reach us yet."
"I hope that's the case. You two head back first, I'll look into this."
After saying that, Mateo turned and left.
Tristan was the eldest son of the Hans family and the son of his second brother. Mateo really did not want anything to happen to him.
Walter patted Mango's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't mind Mateo, he is just too worried about Tristan."
"I'm not jealous, don't think too much."
Mango smiled faintly and felt especially close to Walter.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine. Don't you already know everything? Let's not talk about me anymore. What about you? You really impressed me. My cousin had become this bold, huh?"
Walter reached out his finger to scratch Mango's nose. As he did this, Mango frowned.
"You're ruining my nose."
"Come on, your nose isn't fake, is it? Let's go. I'll take you to my wife. She misses you very much."
"I miss her too."
Then, Mango followed Walter and boarded the ship.
Soon, when they arrived at the place they and Nathaniel had agreed to meet, Mango saw Deborah.
"Deborah, you've gained weight!"
After being in confinement for a month, Deborah had gained 10 pounds, but she looked good.
Deborah glared at Walter with a hint of annoyance as she put her arm on Mango's shoulder and complained, "You should have seen how your brother treats me. He made me drink soups that were without salt every time. I don't even know how I managed to drink them. If I don't, he'll glare at me until I do. It's too scary."
When Mango heard this, she let out a laugh.
"He cares about you."
"Whatever, I just don't want him to take care of me next time."
Deborah's expression amused Mango, causing Walter to be a little speechless.
"Was I that of a bully?"
