The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 510

Upon seeing the beaming expression on Zion's face, Gissel was filled with excitement. Then, she quickly pulled Zion over to the side while handing over the drumstick that she had kept for him.

"Where did you get this?"

Zion was a little surprised.

It had been four days since he ate meat after coming here. Therefore, Zion was puzzled when he saw the drumstick.

Gissel gestured to tell him that it was given by John.

Although Zion didn't know who John was, he had an impression of that person.

The people whom Nathaniel held grudges on was certainly not a good person, and the thing John had given was definitely not something decent.

Despite being extremely hungry and Zion couldn't wait to shove that drumstick into his mouth, he still hesitated to accept the food.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I don't like it. You can eat it."

Gissel expressed her unwillingness, and she pursed her lips while diverting her gaze to somewhere else.

Did she purposely keep the drumstick just for him?

Upon seeing her warmth and kindness, Zion was touched.

He hid the drumstick before whispering, "I'm not hungry yet. Since you don't like to eat it, then let's just keep it for tomorrow, just in case we're hungry."

Gissel was surprised when Zion refused to eat it just yet.

Zion couldn't tell her the reason behind it. However, he continued in a low voice, "This is what you left for me, therefore you can't eat it behind my back."

"I won't, and I've told you that I dislike it."

Gissel was actually a little hungry. However, she didn't dare to eat it after hearing Zion's words. Thus, Gissel could only take a sniff of it to relieve her hunger. After that, she immediately pulled Zion away for a rest.

It was a sleepless night.

Zion woke up very early the next morning.

He looked through the window and it was still dark outside.

Days passed by but each day felt like an eternity.

Soon, Gissel finally woke up. Upon seeing the dark circles beneath his tired eyes, she asked concernedly, "You didn't sleep well last night?"

"I did, but I woke up early. Tell everyone to be careful today and just do as planned. I promised that we will be able to escape today!"

Zion's determined words and firm gaze had given her a great sense of encouragement.

Gissel quickly woke the children up and she told everyone about Zion's intentions.

Zion looked outside. The maturity and steadiness in him at this moment weren't what normal children would have.

When the guard found that the children got up very early today, he said happily, "Look, everyone's behavior has improved. That's great! Well be less angry at you guys and there will be less beating, isn't it good? Let's go out for breakfast and start today's training."

The guard yawned while loosening up his attitude a little. He felt that the children might have surrendered. Just then, the keeper even asked for a cigarette from the person beside him.

"If you guys can be more obedient in the future, we won't have to go through so much trouble."

"We still have to see how they'd behave today."

Then, another guard talked to him.

The only time these children could eat at the table was in the morning. The kids were having porridge and breadsticks for breakfast today. Although the meals weren't very scrumptious, it was considered lucky enough to dine in a proper place.

Since the captives got up early, they had to set up the equipment for the other children of the shooting club that arrived late.

Zion and Gissel had been together this entire time.

While there was no one around, Zion whispered, "You must stay by my side no matter what happens. Do you understand?"

Although Gissel didn't know about Zion's intention, she nodded her head nonetheless.

After finishing the breakfast, they started to move the machines to the other venue.

Zion scanned around, especially towards the direction of the surveillance camera. Then, he said to Gissel in a low voice, "Take three steps to the right, and cover me for two seconds."

Gissel was very nervous. Although she had no idea what Zion was trying to do, Gissel still listened to him by walking three steps to the right.

Zion quickly planted his device under the equipment and he continued to move the stuff to the designated location with Gissel as if nothing had happened.

The only difference was that he needed to move it to a specified location with a power supply.

While no one was looking, Zion hurriedly connected the device to the socket.

At this moment, Walter's cell phone suddenly rang.

He frowned slightly.

Who could have called him so early in the morning?

He had been feeling depressed because of the matter surrounding Mango. Therefore, Walter had left for a few days with the excuse of going abroad to manage his business affairs. However, he was still worried about Mango and decided to return to Ocean City.

Knowing that Mango hadn't been leaving the Ye household recently and Nathaniel didn't show up much as well, Walter felt a sharp pang of jealousy.

The newlywed was having their sweet time together, but why did he insist on coming back?

Walter gobbled down the wine in a fit of anger the day before, and he had a headache now. Hence, Walter instinctively turned off his phone after hearing it rang.

Surprisingly, his phone kept on ringing despite being turned off, as if it was transmitting some kind of signal.

"Oh f*ck it, what the hell!"

Walter lifted off the blanket angrily before sitting up. Just as he was going to throw away the phone, Walter suddenly noticed a map with massive details being sent to his phone.

Just then, the last sentence appeared, "Call the police, save me! Shooting club! Zion Shen!"

Walter furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

Zion?
