The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 502

Looking at the shrewd expression of the manager, Nathaniel couldn't help but sneer, "Really? Coach Barnes gave my wife a name card and he wanted to recruit my son into the shooting club. Well, now I'm here to take a look at the place. Manager, please show me the way."

After that, Nathaniel entered directly.

The manager suddenly became wary of him.

"Mr. Ye, there's no one here today. Everyone has gone out. If you want to visit the place, why don't you come again another time?"

"Who gives you the rights to disobey my orders? Do I still have to wait for another day? Sir, you've gone too far."

The manager felt pressured upon hearing his words.

"No...no! That's not what I meant. Why don't you wait a moment, Mr. Ye? I'll get someone to arrange it right away."

"It's fine, I'm just looking around."

Nathaniel pushed the manager away as he made his way through.

The manager broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he hinted at the staff beside him to inform Nick about the matter immediately.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel noticed his tricky gesture, but he pretended not to see it.

He brought his men to look around the place. It was as if he was interested in everything.

Upon looking at how Nathaniel was wandering leisurely, the manager muttered silently to himself.

Didn't Nick mention that the two children had run away from home?

Since the kids were missing, how could Nathaniel have the mood to roam around the club comfortably?

Something didn't seem quite right!

Could it be that the two children were in the club?

The thought of it made him scare out of his wits.

What if Nathaniel found the two grandsons of the Ye family right at this place? If so, how should he explain himself?

He became even more restless at the thought of it. At this moment, the manager hoped for Nick's immediate arrival.

Meanwhile, Nick was somewhat surprised when he received the call from the manager.

He never thought that Nathaniel would actually go to the shooting club.

His expression turned gloomy and displeased. Nick immediately gave up the idea of searching other places and he drove directly to the shooting club.

"Nathaniel, what are you doing here?"

The manager let out a sigh of relief upon Nick's arrival.

Although it was just a small deceptive act from the manager, Nathaniel still noticed it.

It seemed like Wisdom was telling the truth. This place and the manager were probably all under Nick's control.

Thinking of this, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I took Zion for shooting in the playground yesterday evening. A coach named Maxwell Barnes gave us a business card and he wanted to recruit Zion to the club. As you know, Zion likes guns very much, and I just wanted to check if he and Wisdom were here. After all, we lost that business card."

Nick was stunned upon hearing this.

Then, he glared at the manager.

The manager knew that his subordinate had caused some serious trouble. Then, he quickly made up an excuse, "Mr. Ye, no kids visited here today, let alone the two children you mentioned."

"How do you know that I came here on behalf of the two children?"

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes as he stared at him.

Only then did the manager realize that he had said something wrong and he explained hastily, "I simply guessed it. Didn't Ye's family has a pair of twins? I thought it was them."

Although his justification sounded a little farfetched, it did make sense after all.

Nathaniel glanced at him coldly and he continued to walk forward.

While the manager was slightly intimidated, Nick did not say anything and he followed directly behind Nathaniel.

"Nathaniel, I don't think they will come here."

"Who knows?"

Nathaniel responded ambiguously. Just then, he stopped in front of the bathroom.

"I'm going to the bathroom. Do you wanna tag along?"

"No thanks, bro."

Nick hurriedly rejected.

Nathaniel then went into the bathroom without saying a word.

After he entered the bathroom, Nick looked at the manager coldly before asking in a low voice, "Have the children been found?"

"Not yet, but I've never heard of them showing up here."

The manager broke out in a cold sweat.

Nick squinted his eyes and he continued, "Cancel all the plans for the time being and find the two children first. Remember, no mistakes are allowed."

"Yes, sir!"

In the meantime, Nathaniel was eavesdropping on their conversation from inside with a small earpiece in his hand. He had planted a tiny bugging device on Nick while the latter was distracted.

After hearing their conversation, it had proven the validity of Wisdom's words. The operation of this place was indeed under Nick's control.

At this moment, Nathaniel was having mixed emotions and he threw away the listening device in his hand.

When he came out, Nathaniel gave Nick a meaningful look and the latter was somewhat guilty.

"Bro, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Nathaniel responded blandly. At the same time, he was scanning and searching all over the place. However, he failed to find Zion.

At the same time, Zion and the other children were watched closely by several security guards. The bodyguards did not allow them to make any noises and they even tied them up. They were afraid that the kids would take the opportunity to scream for help.

Although these people couldn't speak, they could still make a sound.

Plus, surveillance cameras were being set up in the underground basement.

Zion noticed that Nathaniel had brought along several men over in search of him. Unfortunately, he couldn't get out of the room even though they were only a few distances away.

Zion couldn't scream for help all by himself. Moreover, he was even planning to help the children escape.

Looking at Nathaniel's distressed expression from afar, tears welled up in his eyes unknowingly.

"Mr. Ye, I'm here! Here!"

Zion was desperately crying out in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any sound.
