The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 572

"What did you say?"

His face took on a ghastly expression

Before Thomas arrived to rescue them, he didn't want to have any more conflict with the people of the Underground City. However, it wasn't because he was afraid of trouble, instead, he was scared that he wouldn't have much time left to be with Mango.

Now that Mango was already like this, Yama Hades still wanted him to return to the Underground City. It seemed like she had nefarious intentions indeed.

However, Yama Hades didn't take notice of the displeasure in his eyes and said coldly, "I'm telling you, you need to return to the Underground City, because this is a remote mountain village, and what I need are all precious medicinal ingredients. Hence, you can't find them anywhere else except the Underground City. Even if you have the money and resources, it still takes time to get it. Most importantly, you guys are running short of time now."

Hence, Nathaniel was slightly taken aback. He subconsciously glanced at Mango's ward and asked, "What do you need?"

"Cordyceps Sinensis, Trogopterori, bat feces, musk, bear bile, and pangolin armor. Most of them are easy to find, except for the Trogopterori and bat feces. You can find these two rare items in the Underground City, but they are not for auction. As for the details of it, you have to figure it out yourself. As I have mentioned, I can't save her without these herbs. As long as you're able to obtain them, I promise to make your wife lively again, and I can also treat her underlying condition completely."

Yama Hades listed out several kinds of herbal medicines at once, which made Nathaniel frown in confusion.

Those were indeed precious medicinal ingredients.

"Isn't her condition already very bad? Wouldn't the herbs make things worse? Are you sure you can cure her?"

Hearing Nathaniel's doubts, Yama Hades said coldly, "I can do it. Do you know why I wanted that guy's blood? His blood is the key to curing her. Without it, I still can't cure your wife even if you brought all the exotic herbs I asked for. To be honest, it seems that God is really on your side. It's near-miraculous that your wife owns such a rare specimen."

Then, Nathaniel furrowed his eyebrows even more.

He didn't like hearing how others described Desmond as Mango's property.

That man was simply too beautiful and enchanting.

However, Yama Hades didn't care about his opinion. She glanced at him and said, "Why are you still here? Your wife doesn't have much time left."

Then, Nathaniel paused for a moment before he finally said, "When I'm not around, please take care of my wife."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her. Come back quickly, but it seems like the people of the Underground City won't give away these herbs that easily. As for how to retrieve them, it all depends on you. If you can't get them before 8 o'clock in the evening, it's not my fault if I can't save her."

Because of that, Nathaniel left as soon as possible. Just as he was on his way out, he met Anaya and Desmond in the corridor.

Then, Anaya stopped Nathaniel and she wrote, "Is Mr. Song really disabled?"

"Yes."

Nathaniel looked at her and said in a soft voice.

Then, Anaya had a trace of guilt in her eyes. She silently stepped aside and didn't say anything more.

Desmond looked at Nathaniel and whispered, "Do you need me to go with you?"

"There's no need. Protect Mango to the best of your ability before I return all right? I owe you one."

"It's fine. I'll make sure to protect her."

Nathaniel was slightly upset by his words.

If he had a choice, he really didn't want to entrust his wife to any man. However, that was all he could do now.

After he left the hospital, the people from the Underground City immediately gathered around him.

Then, Nathaniel sneered and said, "Take me to your boss and tell him that I have the things he wanted."

After that, someone quickly went to report the news while Nathaniel followed them back to the Underground City.

Just then, Nathaniel saw Ryan by the door.

Ryan had been tied up and beaten forcefully.

Nathaniel paused for a moment and said, "Release him and his family."

"That's not up to us."

On the other hand, Ryan was a little surprised that Nathaniel would actually plead for him.

Nathaniel said coldly, "Don't get me wrong, I did it for Walter. After all, he was injured in the process of saving me and my wife. In the end, you're still his friend no matter how you betrayed him."

Hearing this, tears suddenly welled up in Ryan's eyes.

He bit his lower lip and said regretfully, "Please tell him that I'm truly sorry. I know he won't forgive me, but I had no choice. Jigsaw is too powerful, and my wife and children needed me. Plus, I didn't have someone as powerful as you to help me, therefore I had no choice but to work for him."

Nathaniel did not say anything, but he felt somehow uncomfortable.

So what if he had a powerful background?

Weren't his wife and children still suffering because of him?

Every man was trying their best to protect their family and loved ones.

At the thought of this, Nathaniel suddenly felt like he could relate to Ryan, and he felt that Ryan wasn't really that evil after all.

"I'll pass the message."

After that, Nathaniel entered the Underground City immediately.

He was going to give it his all for the sake of his wife.

Meanwhile, the news of Nathaniel's arrival spread like wildfire. Soon, he was brought to a private room.

That was the first time he saw Jigsaw Coon.

He was a man in his fifties who looked very experienced.

Nathaniel was sure that he had never offended this person, nor was he familiar with him at all. However, why did Jigsaw hold a grudge against him?
