"Perhaps you got the location wrong?"
Mango asked in a hurry after she noticed that Nathaniel's expression had turned ugly.
"Are you doubting your husband's memory?"
"No, I just thought that you might've gotten it wrong. Why don't we head somewhere else to look for it?"
Then, she grabbed Nathaniel's hand and tried to leave, but it was already too late. Soon, they were surrounded by a group of people.
Desmond's eyes darkened and said in a low voice, "It's the people from the Dark Night Empire."
Mango felt a little sad when she heard that name. Although she was technically the head of Dark Night Empire, the organization had always been under Isla's control. This could be clearly seen when Merle disobeyed her orders.
Nathaniel's gaze turned a little cold.
"Dark Night Empire is a special organization made for the Ye Family. It's supposed to serve the Ye family. However, it has turned into a private squad. Isn't it better to disband?"
When Mango heard Nathaniel's words, she knew that he was truly enraged.
That's right. Isla had challenged Nathaniel's patience repeatedly. Did she really think that Nathaniel would not resist? Or did she still believe in their maternal bond that was non-existent?¹'
"I agree. They no longer belong to the Ye family, so it's better to dissolve. Desmond, find a safe place to stay. We'll call you when we're done."
Mango took off her jacket.
It had been a long time since she had engaged in a fun activity like this.
However, Nathaniel held her hand tightly and said, "You should also find a hiding place."
"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"
Mango felt offended.
Nathaniel said with a smile, "You don't have to do it. Besides, you are pregnant now. I'm a man, and I can handle it myself. Otherwise, am I still qualified to be your husband? Retreat and protect Desmond. At this time, I am afraid that someone will seize the opportunity and take Desmond away if no one looks after him. After all, Desmond is our weak point now."
His reasoning was perfect and flawless, and Mango didn't know how to refute it.
"Well fine, you won, but you should take care of yourself. Don't get hurt, alright?"
"Don't worry."
Nathaniel's confident expression gave Mango a lot of courage. Could he really do it alone?
Desmond whispered when he saw them like this, "I will try my best to learn how to protect myself and I promise that I won't drag you down in the future."
"I'm glad to know that, now bring Mango with you."
Nathaniel did not even look at Desmond.
Upon seeing how Desmond was determined to seek revenge after Marissa's death, it seemed that he would really be helpful to Mango.
Besides, although Nathaniel was worried that Desmond would set his eyes on Mango, he was confident about Mango's feelings for him.
Desmond didn't say anything else and he looked at Mango with a determined expression.
Meanwhile, Mango reluctantly took Desmond with her and retreated.
The people from Dark Night Empire was stunned when they found out that their opponents were actually Nathaniel and Mango.
"Mr. Ye, we're just obeying the orders."
One of them said very respectfully to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel sneered and said, "What?! Whose orders are you acting on? Don't you know that the head of the Ye family has been replaced? The person standing in front of you now is your new boss, but how dare you go against her? In that case, what's the point of having you guys as a part of the Dark Night Empire?"
The person seemed a little surprised when they heard this.
"Our leader has changed? Why didn't we know about this?"
Although Mango was far away, she still heard their conversation. Then, she quickly stood up and took out the ring, which represented her identity.
"Look, this is the token of proof! Don't you know about this?"
The man looked at the item in Mango's hands and said in a low voice, "The letter said that someone had stolen the token, so we can't take it as proof." "What else can I say? Go ahead, let me see how much your skills have improved in the past few years. If I survive, you guys will continue to exist as a part of the Dark Night Empire. However, you're no longer under the control of Ye Family anymore! I'll tell you this again that Isla Fang has betrayed the Ye Family and she has been exiled. If you are willing to listen to her, you are not worthy to be a member of our family anymore! If I win by chance, you guys will be ruined."
Nathaniel made his intentions very clear.
Many of the members hesitated, but the man who spoke looked at Nathaniel and whispered, "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry. We are just following orders, and you also know that we shouldn't go against them."
"Come on."
Nathaniel didn't bother to say too much and he immediately started the fight.
A few of them looked at Nathaniel. Although they were a little hesitant, they still made their move.
Seeing this, Mango really felt that disbanding the Dark Night Empire was the right choice.
When Nathaniel and the others were fighting, Mango observed the surrounding area and said to Desmond, "Do you think Isla will be somewhere around here?"
"It's impossible. That terrible old woman will only hide in her room and wait for everything to be over. By then, she will either be mocking us, or she would be enraged."
Desmond saw through Isla s mind.
