Meanwhile, Merle felt as if every single muscle in his body was quivering.
He had never seen a man who could be so cruel to a woman.
Right now, Nathaniel didn't seem like he had any humanity left in him at all.
Nanny Zhang's arm had been broken, and she was in so much pain that she broke out in massive cold sweat.
"Nathaniel, you scum! How dare you lay your hands on your mother for that b*tch! Aren't you afraid that you'll go to hell?"
"I'd gladly go. Who gave me such a cruel mother like you? This broken arm is for my poor unborn child."
After that, Nathaniel dislocated one of Nanny Zhang's legs without even batting an eye.
Nanny Zhang was in so much pain that she nearly passed out.
In fact, the only thing keeping her alive was her willpower as the toxins in her body still hadn't been nullified. Now, Nathaniel's cruel treatment nearly caused her body to give out.
Furthermore, Nathaniel even made it easy for her as he said, "You can pass out if you want, but I guarantee that you'll wake up the next second. This, is the price you have to pay for how cruelly you treated Zion!"
"Just f*cking kill me, Nathaniel!"
Nanny Zhang suddenly felt that no matter how cruel and vicious she was, it wouldn't be able to compare to how heartless Nathaniel was being right now.
He clearly knew that she was his biological mother, yet he tortured her anyway. Thus, this left Nanny Zhang without any room to bargain.
At that moment, Nathaniel was acting on pure fury. If Mango were here, there was a chance that she would stop him. But now, nothing on this Earth could have the power to stop Nathaniel.
Hence, she broke down immediately.
Nanny Zhang was not one to admit defeat at all, but she was very afraid of her own son.
True enough, the day of judgement had come for her.
She trembled in pain, yet Nathaniel refused to go easy on her. Just as she was about to pass out, he swiftly broke Nanny Zhang's other leg.
"Ahhhh!!"
Nanny Zhang's agonising scream reverberated throughout the basement, striking fear into the hearts of all who heard it.
Meanwhile, Merle was secretly relieved that Nathaniel was not his master. If not, he would have been traumatised by now.
However, Nathaniel still spoke in an indifferent tone. "This leg is for what you've done to Rita."
"Nathaniel, you might as well just kill me!"
Nanny Zhang shrieked in a hoarse voice.
However, Nathaniel replied calmly. "Didn't I tell you that I can't do that? Someone wants you alive. But I do have to tell you, sometimes being alive is much worse than being dead, and you have the rest of your life to reflect on your actions."
"You're planning to break all my limbs, aren't you? You f*cking b*stard!"
Nanny Zhang bellowed and she opened her mouth to bite Nathaniel.
However, Nathaniel seemed to be prepared for that and he grabbed her jaw. His hand tightened, and Nanny Zhang could not scream anymore.
She was in so much pain that she would rather drop dead. Unfortunately, Nathaniel had used a special tactic to keep her conscious and that was the most agonising part.
Then, Nathaniel casually observed her as he wasn't in any hurry to break her final limb.
His voice was faint as he said, "Don't you know that Mango is my life? You call yourself my biological mother, yet you constantly plan to take my life away from me. So, am I the one being unfilial, or is it you who's heartless? Do you intend on explaining to me how my mother was poisoned? How my father died? How Madam Hans had a stroke? Hm?"
Nanny Zhang wanted to reply, but all that came out from her mouth was gibberish as she gasped for air.
Then, Nathaniel sneered before he said, "God is fair. No matter what you've done, you'll get what's coming for you. Mango's suffered greatly over the last few years, and I stupidly thought that Macy and Susie were the cause of her pain. However, I recently found out that you were the one who ordered your men to burn Mango to death!"
Nanny Zhang gazed at Nathaniel with a hopeless look in her eyes. Truly, she had never expected to be defeated by her son, let alone be tortured like this.
Honestly, she regretted it!
She regretted that she never strangled Nathaniel to death the moment he was born!
She regretted the motherly love she felt for him over the years and the many chances that she gave him.
She glared at Nathaniel with a vicious look in her eyes. Although she couldn't speak, Nathaniel could see what she was trying to convey as clear as day.
"You hate me, don't you? I'm sure you're thinking that sparing my life was your greatest act of kindness towards me, yet my ungrateful a*s decided to mistreat you. Nanny Zhang, ask yourself, did you really not do anything to me?”
Nathaniel's voice was so soft that only Nanny Zhang could hear what he said, but her expression shifted the moment she heard the question.
"What? Did you think I wouldn't find out? You must've thought that was impossible with your medical ability and your status within the Ye Family, right? Unfortunately for you, I'm not a fool. I know exactly what you fed me and what you did to my body, but I never knew the true culprit behind it all. Now that I finally know the truth, it's funny to find out that the real culprit turned out to be my biological mother after all these years.¹'
Nathaniel's words were pitiful, but then he sneered and continued, "Since you're my mother, I can never get justice despite what you've done to me. However, I will definitely hold whatever you've done to Mango against you."
Nathaniel sat down on the ground as he spoke, as if he still wanted to have a lengthy chat with her. Conversely, Nanny Zhang seemed very anxious.
