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 Vige.
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 vige''s terrain is veryplicated
and we need someone to go in alone and take a look."
"Oh... I''ll wait until Merle''s mene 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 herposure. 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''reing?"
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 vigers 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''sing 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 Edolieter 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 Vige.
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."
Nathanielid a map in front of them and said, "This is the map of Altane Vige, but there have
been a lot of changes in the vige in recent years, so we''ll need someone to go in and explore the
ce 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 ufortable.
However, he knew that he couldn''t me Mango.
Nathaniel felt slightly displeased as he nced 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 ce.
If the vigers are all on guard and are waiting for us toe to save her, what excuse can you use
to enter the vige?"
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 re, but it wasn''t the time for
him to exin 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 nce at Mango before realizing
that she didn''t even spare a nce at him, so he just turned around and left dejectedly.
As soon as Merle left, Mango grabbed hold of Nathaniel''s cor, 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 exined, "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 ident, 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 vige, 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."
Mango was relieved only after hearing what Nathaniel exined.
Suddenly, she turned around and noticed that Merle''s men were all looking at them. It seemed that
she was being extremely unreasonable and that Nathaniel was afraid of his wife.
At that moment, Mango was somewhat crestfallen.
Her reputation was ruined!
On the other hand, Nathaniel was extremely pleased and happy as Mango''s concern and anger
showed how much she cared for him.
He somewhat felt as if he had masochistic tendencies.
Seeing Nathaniel smiling like a child, Mango shoved the phone into his arms and walked out of the
pavilion.
Nathaniel did not care and even turned to Merle''s men before saying, "Do you see that? Happy
wife, happy life!"
The others pursed their lips and smiled as none of them could believe that the person in front of
them was the legendary Nathaniel, who was famous for his iron fist!
Nathaniel didn''t have the mood to waste his time chatting with them, so he hurriedly went after
Mango and exited the pavilion.
"What are you looking at?"
He wrapped his arms around Mango''s waist from behind subconsciously.
Mango noticed that Nathaniel''s actions had be increasingly affectionate.
She looked back at Nathaniel, yet he pretended as if he had no idea what she was thinking as he
continued, "The scenery here is very beautiful, isn''t it?"
Mango could only sigh at Nathaniel''s shameless behavior before turning around and leaning into
Nathaniel''s embrace.
She made a gesture and said, "I wonder how Anaya is... I feel that we''re the ones who got her into
trouble."
"That''s not true, and don''t worry about it as well surely save her."
Nathaniel was aware of Mango''s exceptional concern for Anaya, especially now that she''d be
mute just like Anaya. They were probably the only ones who had a deep understanding of how it
felt.
At the thought of Mango''s voice, Nathaniel wanted to say something but stopped on second
thought.
He had always been skeptical of Bettany as he appeared out of nowhere and left just as
suspiciously.
Mango was so eager to regain her voice, yet she did not mention it anymore after Bettany arrived,
so why was that?
There was something fishy about this matter.
Nathaniel had once asked Bettany about it in private, but he didn''t say a word and now that Bettany
was gone, the question remained in Nathaniel''s mind.
He really wanted to pry open Mango''s skull and see what she was thinking and what she was afraid
of, but he knew that he wasn''t in the position to do that right now.
Although Mango became very close to him and they seemed to have be as close as they were
in the past, many things had changed, and Mango''s attitude towards handling matters was
bing increasingly independent as she became less reliant on him.
The issue of Madam Hans had created a barrier between them. They would never be able to get
along like how they did in the past as long as the problem remained unsolved. Unfortunately, there
was no way the issue could be straightened out.
Nathaniel wasn''t a god, and there was no way he could bring Madam Hans back to life. He could
only pray that their good days could continue so that Mango would slowly open her heart to him and
let go of the past.
Mango leaned into Nathaniel''s embrace and she had no idea what Nathaniel was thinking right now.
Instead, she just felt worried as she looked in the direction of Altane Vige, and she wondered if
Merle would be able to bring back any useful information.
The two of them stood there with different thoughts in mind, but their silhouettes attracted the
attention of many onlookers.
Though, none of them noticed this.
Finally, Merle came back and Mango was somewhat worked up, though she didn''t say anything in
front of Merle and didn''t even pay any attention to him.
Nathaniel quickly asked, "How did it go?"
"I found it. Anaya is imprisoned in the ancestral hall of Altane Vige, which is about 800 meters
away from the entrance. However, there were many people along the path to the hall and they
seemed as if they were chatting while ying chess, but in truth, all of them hid weapons with them.
The terrain inside is quiteplicated and there''s a mountain behind the vige so if they want to
escape, they can leave at any time, though it would be impossible for us to leave through that route
as I heard that there''s some poison in the forest. Those people have been living here all this while
so they would naturally have a remedy for it, whereas we would just copse if we go in."
Upon hearing Merle''s words, Mango and Nathaniel frowned.
"Is there no other way?"
"Can we attack them indirectly instead?"
Mango suddenly spoke with her gestures.
Seeing Mango''s current state, Merle teared up in an instant as a strong sense of self-me filled
his heart, which made him no longer able to look straight into Mango''s eyes.
If he had stood by Mango''s side back then, would he still be able to hear Mango''s alluring voice
now?
At the sight of Mango''s current state and how she had to interact with other people despite not
being able to speak, Merle couldn''t even imagine how much pain she was in.
Nathaniel didn''t know what Merle was thinking but was stunned when he perceived Mango''s
intentions.
"Attack them indirectly? Do you mean that we should get Edolie into trouble so that Hank will send
some people away?"
Mango nodded her head immediately.
Nathaniel whispered, "But I''m afraid that Edolie will probably be caught up in a traffic ident by
now."
"That doesn''t matter, you can still go and meet her in time."
Nathaniel felt slightly unsettled at Mango''s gestures.
"You''re telling me to look for Edolie? Mango, are you crazy? Aren''t you aware of Edolie''s feelings for
me? Why do you want me to see her?"
