Before Mango could react, Nathaniel had covered her nose as he struck down the drone. With a bang, both of them were covered in a cloud of tear gas.
"Ahem, ahem!”
It was the first time that Nathaniel had been hit so hard by a tear gas bomb.
"Zion!"
He gritted his teeth as he cried out, but then he inhaled too much tear gas. His striking onyx eyes filled with tears, and Nathaniel looked rather disheveled at that moment.
Mango fared better than Nathaniel as he had covered her nose, but Nathaniel stopped her when she wanted to help him.
"Don't worry about me, hurry and hide in somewhere that has water."
After he said that, Nathaniel pushed Mango out of the tear gas cloud.
However, Mango felt that it wasn't the best time to leave as she couldn't differentiate between her own men and Zack’s men. Then, she covered her nose with her arm before she ran back into the tear gas.
"Let's go!"
Mango grabbed Nathaniel's arm and turned to run.
Zion pursed his lips as he saw this from his control room behind the scenes.
"Oh no, when will Mommy realize that she’s gotten the wrong person?"
Zion's brows furrowed deeply.
He had just wanted to prank Nathaniel because he was annoyed at Nathaniel's high and mighty appearance. However, he had not expected his mother to go inside and pull Nathaniel out because she felt bad for her husband.
But now, his mother had taken the wrong person with her.
Thus, Zion was absolutely flabbergasted.
He felt like crying the moment he saw who Mango had pulled out of the gas.
He quickly called Nathaniel's walkie-talkie.
"Mr. Ye!"
"You little brat, you’d better be ready for the punishment I'm going to give you when I get home!"
It had been a long time since Nathaniel had been in such a difficult position.
Furthermore, Zion had previously caused Nathaniel to lose his dignity in front of the people of Ocean City, and now that little brat had caused him to cough his lungs out.
Other people's sons were all so well-behaved, but why was his own son so mischievous?
However, Zion was not in the mood for Nathaniel's threats and he cried as he said, “Mr. Ye, mommy came back to rescue you from the smoke but she accidentally brought someone else out with her, and that might've been Mr. Yan."
Nathaniel was stunned.
After Nathaniel processed what Zion told him, his expression became frightening.
"If anything happens to your mommy, I'll skin you alive."
Nathaniel shut off the walkie-talkie angrily and the scene in front of him was a total mess because of the smoke bombs. Thus, he couldn’t even tell where he was, let alone try to look for Mango.
Right now, he was so anxious.
Zack was by his side?
Why didn't he notice it just now?
Had Zack discovered them and he was just waiting for them to show up?
Nathaniel was very uneasy, and he didn't know what to do at that moment.
Meanwhile, Mango had no idea that she had brought the wrong person with her and she ran quite some distance away. Then, she stopped after she found a body of water and panted for breath as she said, "Hurry up and wash your face, it’s embarrassing if anyone else sees you like this."
She turned around with a smile, but she was astonished when she saw Zack’s face.
How had she brought Zack along with her?
When did Zack find them?
At the thought of this, Mango's expression immediately changed.
"You were by Nathaniel’s side the whole time, so what's your plan? You two were comrades and best friends. It’s enough that you betrayed him, but now you want to sneak up on him as well?"
Mango broke out in a cold sweat.
If she hadn't pulled Zack out with her, what would he have done to Nathaniel?
Zack's expression remained stony.
