The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 491

In fact, Wisdom didn't sleep very well.

All the things he had suffered over the past few days made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

Wisdom woke up shortly after Mango left, and he was surprised to find Zion sitting next to him.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid you'll oversleep."

Zion said in a low voice, then he stood up to pour Wisdom a glass of water.

Honestly, Wisdom felt a little flabbergasted.

Usually, he was the one serving Zion in the past. Now that the roles were reversed, Wisdom was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Take it!"

Zion saw Wisdom staring at him like a fool and he wondered if the latter had been beaten silly.

Then, Wisdom took the cup in a hurry while giggling.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing. It just feels great to have you at home."

Wisdom's words made Zion a little speechless.

The latter then walked to the door while looking outside. Next, Zion locked the door when he realized that no one was paying attention to them before sitting down next to Wisdom.

The other boy was curious at Zion's actions.

"What are you doing?"

"I have something to tell you."

Zion had a mysterious look on his face, which aroused Wisdom's curiosity.

"What's the matter?"

Zion gazed at Wisdom with an uncertain look, and it made the latter feel uneasy as well.

"What do you want to tell me?"

"Let's run away from home."

Zion's words startled Wisdom.

"Run away from home? Are you crazy?"

"Shhh!"

Zion quickly covered Wisdom's mouth before saying, "You still want to stay? Look at your wounds, even though Grandma and my Daddy are protecting you, but Uncle is still your father nonetheless. What can we do if he wants to take you away? By that time, we can't stop him, and you'll suffer in the end."

Wisdom's gaze suddenly darkened.

"But he's my Daddy! So, I have to listen to him, and he's doing this for my good. Also, people are saying that Daddy is training me well."

"That's crap! We can teach ourselves! Do you remember our old coach? We did pretty well back then, right? Your Daddy is insane, and he'll end up killing you! By then, I won't have a brother anymore."

Zion's words rendered Wisdom silent.

To be honest, he didn't want to go back to the base with Nick.

It was too miserable.

Moreover, Nick's requirements for him were extremely strict. Not a single one of the training projects he had set up could be completed by Wisdom.

"I can leave by myself, but Uncle and Mommy will be sad if you follow me."

Wisdom looked at Zion and he knew that he was different.

Nathaniel and Mango loved Zion dearly.

However, Zion said indifferently, "It's fine. I'll leave them a letter."

"Where do you want to go? Do you have an idea?"

Wisdom noticed a gleam in Zion's eyes. He suddenly recalled the fact that Zion had never done anything without a well- thought- out plan.

Zion smirked and he procured a business card, "Look, this is a shooting club, and it seems to be a nice place. I met this man at the amusement park the other day, and he told Mommy that he'd train me into an amazing shooter if I join them. You're good with guns too, so we can go there together! Plus, I think room and board are provided, so we won't be exposed to the elements. I have some money with me, so we have enough to spend."

Wisdom frowned when he saw the business card before asking, "Is this person reliable?"

"Well, I guess we'll find out if we go there. If it's an awful place, then we'll just escape by ourselves. Relax, if you're not going, then I'm going alone. But you're not allowed to tell Mommy and Daddy where I go after leaving, okay?"

Zion said as he put away the business card cautiously.

Wisdom couldn't help but feel tempted when he saw Zion's eager expression.

Wisdom's entire body ached in pain. Although his wounds were treated, did it mean that he had to leave the Ye family if his father said so?

If Wisdom returned to the base, he would need to undergo grueling training again, and he might even be beaten.

Instead, it would be better to go to the shooting club with Zion. At least, he would learn some skills there.

Wisdom muttered as he thought of this, "When are we leaving?"

"Tonight. I wanted to wait a couple more days, but if Uncle is leaving tomorrow, he'll take you with him. By then, it'll be hard to find you. So think about whether you want to leave with me. Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

Zion patted Wisdom's shoulder reassuringly.

Wisdom ached a little, but he became excited.

"I'll go with you!"

Wisdom didn't want to live his life according to Nick's wishes. Besides, he was unable to meet his father's requirements despite doing his best, and that hurt him.

Zion was delighted upon hearing Wisdom's words.

"Then I'll go back and pack up my things." "What are you packing up for? Why don't we just take the bank card with us?"

Wisdom's words caused Zion to roll his eyes.

"Are you stupid? Once we pay with our cards, they will know where we are, right? So we can only bring cash."

"You're right! Why didn't I think of that?"

Wisdom rubbed the back of his head and he said. "If we bring a large amount of cash, what happens if we get mugged?"

"Don't worry, I have my ways!"

Zion said mysteriously and he then whispered, "Keep a lookout for me, and I'll go and pack."

"All right."
