The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 667

Mango had no concern for Merle's feelings at all. She contacted him only because it was an emergency, and she wouldn't have done so otherwise.

Mango sent a message to Nathaniel to ask if he could send her a map of Altane Village.

At that time, Nathaniel was already on his way there.

He read Mango's message and stared at his phone for a moment before shaking his head helplessly. He then replied, "I have a map but it's useless as the village's terrain is very complicated and we need someone to go in alone and take a look."

"Oh... I'll wait until Merle's men come then."

Nathaniel was stunned at Mango's words but the corners of his mouth slowly quirked up in a smile.

Mango was no longer acting rashly as before, and she could keep her composure. Nathaniel felt much more gratified by her behavioral change and even felt proud at the thought of how Mango learned from him.

"Yes, that's the way. Wait for me as I'll be there in a minute."

"You're coming?"

Mango was a little surprised.

"Are you insane? Since you went there, how could I not go? I didn't stop you from saving Anaya, but still, I won't let you act alone!"

Nathaniel's message warmed Mango's heart and joy was evident on her face.

"Alright, I'll wait for you and send you my location so that you can find me. The villagers are all prepared, so we cannot rush in carelessly. I also heard that it was Edolie that instructed them to do this. If murder wasn't illegal, I would've killed her now!"

Nathaniel could understand Mango's feelings.

That was also exactly what he thought but they couldn't do things as they liked here.

"Let's just wait a little longer. Edolie will get what's coming to her."

"Huh? It's really too slow to wait for God's punishment."

Mango had never been as angry as she was at this moment.

"We'll talk about Edolie later as the most important thing now is to save Anaya. Send me your location, I'm almost there."

As soon as Mango saw Nathaniel's message, she immediately sent her location to him.

When they met, Nathaniel realized that the hotel was only five kilometers away from Altane Village. At the same time, Merle's men arrived.

When Mango saw Merle, there was no expression on her face at all, and she immediately gestured towards Nathaniel, "You talk to them."

Nathaniel laid a map in front of them and said, "This is the map of Altane Village, but there have been a lot of changes in the village in recent years, so we'll need someone to go in and explore the place now and find out where they locked up Anaya and what facilities they have inside. So, you guys shall take the lead."

As soon as Merle heard this, he said immediately, "I'll go!"

His gaze had been fixated on Mango the entire time.

If it was in the past, Mango would definitely remind him to be careful, but she didn't even lift her head to look at him as if he was a stranger. Furthermore, it seemed like she didn't hear what he said.

The way Mango treated Merle as if he was a stranger made him feel very uncomfortable.

However, he knew that he couldn't blame Mango.

Nathaniel felt slightly displeased as he glanced at Merle, who was staring at Mango though he did not utter a word about it.

"It doesn't matter who goes in, but the main issue now is that we need to be able to enter the place. If the villagers are all on guard and are waiting for us to come to save her, what excuse can you use to enter the village?"

At that instant, Merle was stunned.

Nathaniel noticed his shock, so he took something out from his pocket and handed it to Merle before saying, "Just tell them that it's Edolie that asked you to go. This is one of Edolie's keepsakes. So the doorkeeper, Hank Beckett, should be able to recognize it."

Mango narrowed her eyes when she saw Nathaniel take out a woman's jade bracelet.

Edolie's keepsake?

Why did Nathaniel have it?

Of course Nathaniel sensed the anger and suspicion from Mango's glare, but it wasn't the time for him to explain it to her now.

Nathaniel looked at Merle and said, "There's no need for me to tell you what to say, right?"

"Of course not, I know what to tell them."

Merle took the item from Nathaniel's hand and once again cast a glance at Mango before realizing that she didn't even spare a glance at him, so he just turned around and left dejectedly.

As soon as Merle left, Mango grabbed hold of Nathaniel's collar, but her action and angry expression made Nathaniel feel extremely satisfied, although she didn't say anything.

"I went to Edolie's house on my way here and stole it."

Mango's brows were still knitted tightly together as if she didn't believe Nathaniel's words at all.

Nathaniel quickly explained, "I really went to her house, and I even recorded a video, look."

As Nathaniel spoke, he showed the video that he had recorded to Mango.

Only then did Mango let go of him.

She clicked on the video and found out that Edolie's home was very luxurious.

Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief before continuing, "Just now, I asked Merle to check on Edolie's home address and tell his men to fake an accident, you heard that too right? After Merle gave me her address, I had already left but I was still trying to figure out how how to enter the village, so I went to her house. Since she was not there, I went in and took the bracelet as I heard that Edolie liked it very much. The bracelet is the one that Edolie bought when Hank brought her to the jade market when she first came here, so he must be able to recognize it."
