"Who are you?"
Walter wanted to fight back, but his mouth was covered.
"Don't make a sound!"
The familiar voice made him stunned for a bit. He then used his elbow to hit the other person and was free from the person's hands.
Walter suddenly turned around, he then grabbed the person's arm and forced them to look him straight in his eyes.
"Nathaniel! You b*stard!"
He punched Nathaniel in the face, but Nathaniel dodged his punch.
"Are you crazy?"
Nathaniel was furious.
"I am crazy? I think you're crazy. For f*ck's sake, you are just enjoying yourself here, do you know how worried Mango is? You always said that you loved her, so is this the way it should be? If you don’t treasure her, please let her go as soon as possible and let me take care of her."
Although Walter came here for Nathaniel, his anger immediately rose when he saw that
Nathaniel was fine.
Before Nathaniel could say anything, the girl behind him suddenly grabbed Walter and pulled him away, and she stood in front of Nathaniel.
"Oh my god! You little girl, don't tell me that you have feelings for him. I'm telling you, he already has a wife and two kids."
Walter's words made Nathaniel's face look a little tense.
"What are you talking about? She's a trafficked child from the club and I tried to take her back to Ocean City several times, but I always failed."
"You failed? Nathaniel, be sure of who you are lying to. Tell me, do you think that just because are so many beautiful women here and that you're rich, you intend to live a carefree and happy life here without caring about Mango and your children? Don't think too highly of yourself. I don't believe that you wouldn't be able to leave if you really want to. You're such a good fighter, so who could stop you? This little girl has just known you for a short time but she is already so protective of you, so did you take away her virginity?"
Hearing Walter's words, Nathaniel's face looked more unpleasant. Before he could say anything, the little girl came forward and bit Walter's hand and she refused to let go.
"Holy f*ck girl, get off me! Are you a bi*ch? Don't forget that it was me who spent my money to buy you, but now you are helping someone else attack me instead?"
Although Walter shouted, he did not do anything to the little girl. He really cared about the little girl's well-being.
Nathaniel suddenly felt a little amused when he saw this scene. Walter, who was a playboy, could be defeated by a little girl.
Then the little girl finally let go when she felt her teeth ache.
Walter shook his wrist hard and said with a fierce expression, "If you keep that up, do you want to see if I will sell you back to another club and not let you out forever?"
Then, the little girl flinched a little and her fearful expression made his heart twitch.
Walter seemed to have seen himself when he was a child, so lonely yet helpless. If it weren't Mango that saved him, perhaps he would have really chosen to end his life in the fire.
Now that he saw the little girl, he suddenly felt a sense of hatred towards himself.
Just as he was about to say something, Nathaniel suddenly grunted and knelt on the ground while holding his head tightly with his hands in
agony.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't pretend to be weak in front of me, I don't care whether you live or die at this rate."
Then, Walter frowned slightly and spoke sarcastically.
They were rivals in love and it was already good enough that he came here to look for Nathaniel, so what more did he want from Walter?
However, the little girl was nervous. She quickly squatted down and thought of comforting Nathaniel, but she couldn't do it herself, so she turned around and gesticulated at Walter.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. Please, write it down for me, okay?"
Walter really couldn't understand the meaning of the little girl's words. Not only was she a little anxious, but Nathaniel seemed to be suffering from great pain and the cold sweat on his face kept dripping.
He bit his lower lip as if he was suppressing something with all his strength.
"Nathaniel, what's wrong with you?"
Walter finally noticed that Nathaniel's expression was not very right.
He suddenly looked up and Walter was terrified by his scarlet red eyes.
"What the f*ck! Did you just put on contact lenses? When did you put them on, just now?"
"Nathaniel, wake up for god’s sake! I am Walter!"
Frankly, Walter was never really qualified to be Nathaniel's opponent. Now, Nathaniel seemed to be injected with stimulants and his attacks were more violent than usual. Walter had no time to dodge, so he was punched squarely by Nathaniel. He then staggered and felt as if his whole shoulder was broken.
"Holy sh*t! How are you so strong? Have you been taking stimulants?"
Although Walter said so, he also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Nathaniel, because there was no focus in his eyes and it was just pure attacks.
"What the hell is going on?"
Was this the reason why Nathaniel didn't leave the Underground City and cut off contact with the outside world?
The little girl mumbled something beside him with a very anxious look. She even cried and asked Walter for help.
