Chapter 556


    "Of course, I''ll do what I promised you."


    Marissa said assuredly.


    "No! It''s too dangerous. She can''t stay here."


    However, Desmond was in disagreement with the suggestion.


    Meanwhile, Mango sneered coldly and said, "She can''t stay? This is what she promised me if I won


    the bid for you. It''s fine if she doesn''t have the money to repay me, since I don''tck it anyway.


    What now? Are you trying to go back on your word? Do you guys really think I''m that easy to fool?"


    "No, Miss Gerner, calm down. Desmond is just worried about me. But it doesn''t matter because I


    can do it. I really can!"


    Then Marissa quickly grabbed Desmond and whispered, "My appearance looks quite simr to


    hers, and I already promised to help her. Desmond, just let me do it for you."


    "But..."


    "Don''t worry, listen to me. They won''t do anything to me. If anything happens, my father will save


    me and you can follow them home then. Don''t worry about me. I have the pass and I can leave by


    myself."


    Although Marissa was delicate, she was very determined.


    On the other hand, Mango didn''t say anything more, and she was not interested in who Marissa''s


    father was either. Right now, she only wanted to find Nathaniel as soon as possible.


    Desmond nced at Marissa for a moment and finally said, "You have to be careful."


    "Yes, I will!"


    Marissa replied with a bright smile.


    Mango could see the love Marissa had for Desmond from her smile.


    "Alright, I''m leaving. You guys feel free to do as you please."


    Next, Mango gave her mask and pass to Marissa.


    The instant Mango removed her mask, Desmond was actually stunned when he saw her face. Even


    though he was prepared, he did not expect such a great resemnce between Marissa and her.


    However, Mango wasn''t bothered by it, and she simply said, "When the auction is over, leave with


    Desmond. If you do that, they won''t suspect you."


    I''m not leaving!"


    Hence, Mango was stunned by his words.


    "What?" "Since you bought me, I''m all yours. If you want to save someone, I''ll apany you.


    Although I''m not as great as Marissa said, I do have the ability to find a person. Either way, you''re


    not making a mistake by bringing me with you."


    Then he looked at Marissa and whispered, "Be careful when you''re alone. You should leave this


    ce when it''s over."


    "Alright, be careful."


    Marissa obeyed his words.


    Mango found it hard to believe. However, at this point, two was better than one and she had no time


    to waste anymore.


    "Okay, let''s hurry up, let''s deal with your condition first."


    Next, Mango gave the antidote to Marissa.


    "How did you know that I knew how to give an injection?"


    Marissa was a little confused.


    After that, Mango said in a low voice, "Even though you''re covered in Chanel, it still can''t conceal


    that carbonated scent you have on your body. I suspect that you''re either a nurse or a doctor, but no


    matter which one it is, you should be able to perform an injection."


    Desmond threw an impressed look at Mango and said, "She''s not a nurse, nor a doctor. She just


    has a Master''s degree in medical science, and her father is a biologist."


    "I''m not interested in her family background. Just hurry up, will you?"


    Mango nced at the time on her watch. Right now, she had to seize every second she had to find


    Nathaniel before the auction was over. Perhaps, she could even seize the opportunity to escape


    with the crowded surroundings before the auction ended.


    When she noticed that Mango was uninterested in her, Marissa took the antidote and injected


    Desmond with it.


    After that, Desmond stretched his limbs and said in a low voice, "Let''s go."


    "Do you know the way?"


    Mango was a little doubtful of his abilities.


    Desmond said, "Let''s go backstage first. No matter what, it''s impossible for him to be locked up in


    the auction house. May I know why he was caught?"


    "I don''t know either. My husband has been tracking down the human traffickers here, and then he


    went missing. My friend came to look for him, but still to no avail."


    Then, Mango turned around and left with Desmond.


    Marissa watched as they left. Although she was reluctant to part with Desmond, she did not say


    anything. Sitting in the seat of Mango, she would join in the bidding asionally to prove that she


    was still there.


    After Mango and Desmond came out, there were people everywhere.


    In order to hide her identity, Mango wore a mask that covered her entire face.


    Then, Desmond suddenly asked, "Have you had stic surgery?"


    "That''s not for you to ask."


    Truth be told, Mango was a little upset.


    Twice had she been reminded that she''d had stic surgery today, and she wasn''t happy about it.


    However, Desmond whispered, "But your face looks like hers."


    "I didn''t want this. If I had a choice, I would never want this face. But I didn''t know at the time, so


    can you stop asking this question?"


    Honestly, Mango was starting to be annoyed.


    She was really upset after her entire n was


    dyed because of Marissa and Desmond.


    Then, Desmond frowned slightly.


    "Who performed that surgery on you?"


    "Desmond Blu, you can go if you want to keep talking about this. From now on, you''d better stop


    pestering me about this useless topic, because I have no energy left to talk about this. Do you


    understand? Stop talking about my face before I find my husband and friend."


    "All right."


    This time, Desmond was extremely cooperative. On the contrary, Mango was slightly taken aback


    by his sudden change of attitude. Moreover, she was really blown away by the stunning smile on his


    face.


    Mango was unwittingly mesmerized by his handsome and bewitching appearance.


    "Stop smilling at me from now onwards."


    Mango blurted out suddenly, but she felt a little annoyed afterwards.


    Meanwhile, Desmond lowered his head and smiled, and he didn''t utter a word.


    Just then, two security guards came forward, and Desmond quickly grabbed Mango''s hand and


    pulled her behind the pir with him.


    His hand was so cold that she felt as if she was holding onto an ice cube.


    "What''s up with your body temperature?"


    Mango asked without thinking, but she regretted asking it. If Marissa was telling the truth, she said


    previously that Desmond was the product of an experiment. Therefore, he should be very


    displeased when people raised the issue.


    "I''m sorry."


    Mango hurriedly apologized.


    On the other hand, Desmond was stunned.


    He had been treated inhumanely like a guinea pig ever since his childhood. Every part of his body


    had be the subject of the research of others. No one cared about his feelings at all, and no


    one bothered to apologize to him. Apart from Marissa, Mango was the second person who treated


    him like a human being.


    Desmond quickly pulled his hand back and whispered, "You don''t have to apologize to me. My body


    temperature is different from normal people''s."


    "Let''s go."


    When Mango saw the security guard walking past them, she was about to get up and leave.


    However, she was immediately stopped by Desmond.


    I''m familiar with this ce. Follow me."


    Mango nced at him. Just as she was hesitating whether or not she should trust him, her body


    began to react subconsciously as she followed him to the right.


    There were quite a few people along the way, but Desmond was always able to hide Mango before


    they were discovered.


    Mango was also confused. How did he know about the ces to hide her?


    Furthermore, he seemed to be particrly familiar with this ce.


    "How long have you been here?"


    "Two days."


    Desmond responded calmly, and he seemed to have guessed what was on her mind. Then, he said


    in a low voice, "I never forget what I''ve seen. I''m like this with everything."


    "Oh, I see."


    After that, Mango didn''t say anything else.


    Perhaps, it was nothing special to an experimental guinea pig like him.


    Then, Mango followed him all the way to the back through a narrow and crooked corridor.


    The surroundings at the back looked very different.


    It was like a ve market. Many of them were imprisoned in iron cages, and they were all


    unconscious.


    "These people have all been drugged?"


    "Yes. That''s because it''s easier to control them that way."


    Desmond looked at them, and he remembered that he was one of them not long ago.


    "This is the ce where they keep the prisoners. Almost all the people who have been sold are


    here. Check and see if your husband is in there."


    Hearing that, Mango began to search quickly, but to her disappointment, there was still no trace of


    Nathaniel or Walter.


    At this moment, there was a sudden voice resounding from her ear studs.


    "Mommy!"


    At that moment, Mango was startled.


    Zion''s voice wasn''t very loud, and it was to the point where only Mango herself could hear it.


    However, she was wary when Desmond looked in her direction.


    "Can you hearthat?"


    "Yes, I can."

    Desmond didn''t hide the truth from her.


    Frankly, Mango was a little annoyed. She really had no privacy at all with someone like this around


    her.


    When Zion heard Mango''s voice, he asked, "Who are you talking to?"


    "An ally. Let''s not talk about that. Why did you call me all of a sudden?"


    As she spoke, Mango looked left and right, and she was looking for a signal tracker.


    At this moment, Desmond went somewhere and flipped a switch. Only then did Mango notice that


    the signal receiver had been turned off.


    After the signal receiver was disabled, someone would soon find them, which meant that they had


    to leave as soon as possible.


    Next, Mango and Desmond looked at each other before the two of them quickly went ran to the


    back.


    Meanwhile, Zion was unaware of the current situation and he quickly said in a low voice, "Mommy,


    I''ve discovered Uncle Song''s location. He seems to be under the church. Here, I''ll send it to you."


    "Wait, I''m turning on my phone."


    Soon, Mango turned it on, and Zion had already sent her the location.


    Mango had a look at it, and she was astonished and stressed by looking at theplicated routes


    Then, Desmond stole a nce at the map before he frowned and said, "I know this ce. Come


    with me."


    Without any doubt, Mango followed him to the other side. Then, she said to him, "Zion, there''s a


    signal receiver here. I should turn off the signal to my ear studs."


    "Okay, mommy, be careful."


    "I love you!"


    Then, Mango hung up themunication device and turned it off before she turned off her phone


    as well.


    To be frank, she kind of trusted in Desmond''s eidetic memory now.


    "Did you see the location just now? From now on, we can''t use electronic equipment. I''ll depend on


    you for the rest."


    "Don''t worry. I saw it clearly. Just follow me."


    Desmond led Mango through another two corridors before he spotted the location from the phone in


    front of him. However, at this moment, loud footsteps suddenly sounded from nearby.


    "Be careful!"


    Desmond grabbed Mango''s hand and quickly dodged into a side room.


    The door creaked opened in response, but it suddenly closed when they entered. Unfortunately,


    Mango and Desmond were unable to open the door again no matter how hard they tried.
