Chapter 1013


    "Wow! How much did it actually cost you to raise such a group of mercenaries? Wait, let me


    rephrase this question. Are these all Bernard''s men? You guys have indeed built a lot of forces for


    yourself all these years, thanks to Kolton. Huh?"


    At that point, Mango wasn''t terrified at all. In fact, she was rather calm.


    Suddenly, Carmel firmly protected Mango behind her and whispered, "Madam, I''ll protect you. You


    can''t just ignore me and escape once you find the opportunity to do so."


    "What? Don''t be silly! Laney won''t give me the chance to flee, and I won''t let you die here for me


    either. You should know how skilled these people are more than me. Even if we both join hands, we


    might now even win over them. Besides, Ned hasn''te over yet, and both the Hans and Xiao


    families haven''t made any moves as well. I bet that Laney did something to distract them so that


    they couldn''te over now!"


    Mango had been looking at Laney all this while when she said this.


    On the other hand, Laney''s eyes lit up whenever


    Mango made spections.


    Then, she smiled and said, "Mango, I truly admire you, and I''m quite fond of you as well..."


    "Sadly, we can''t be friends."


    Mango finished her sentence for her almost immediately.


    "That''s right. However, I will make sure that your death is painless because you did treat my


    daughter sincerely. Since you''re the daughter- iw of the Ye family, you should die in this mansion


    that. You can rest assured that after you die, I will make sure that people bury both the bodies of


    Nathaniel and you into the Ye family''s ancestral grave. After all, I''m quite merciful now that things


    have escted this way."


    Laney said this sarcastically.


    Meanwhile, Carmel quickly took on an offensive stance and protected Mango behind her back.


    "Hah! If you want to harm Madam, you have to do that over my dead body!"


    Laney''s eyes became even colder when she heard Carmel''s threat.


    "What are you guys waiting for? Kill her!"


    The mercenaries behind Laney immediately rushed towards Mango and Carmel on hermand.


    Although Mango knew that she had lost this round, she refused to go down without a fight. Besides,


    she couldn''t allow Carmel to take on the attacks of all these people by herself!


    She quickly joined the battle. Unfortunately, her actions only caused the wounds on her body to


    reopen.


    After all, it was obvious that both of them would lose as they were going against ten experienced


    mercenaries. Carmel was already injured even though she had only been fighting for a short time.


    In fact, she was attacking even fiercer, and it was as if she couldn''t feel any paining from her


    body at all.


    On the other hand, Mango felt that her back was on fire when she felt her wound bleed and reopen


    again. However, Carmel was fighting with all her might, and Mango was determined not to let


    Carmel die here.


    At that moment, she realised that she was still far from being a qualified superior. Sadly, she would


    not have another chance to try again.


    Just when Mango and Carmel barely withstand it, the sound of a car engine suddenly sounded


    outside.


    Laney frowned slightly when she heard this.


    Before anyone could react, a bunch of people broke in with gas masks. They emitted smoke bombs


    immediately when they came in, causing everyone to choke and cough repeatedly. Thus, no one


    focused on the fight anymore.


    Suddenly, Carmel promptly jumped to the front of Laney and caught thetter, who was about to


    flee.


    "Take them down! Don''t let any one of them go!"


    Meanwhile, Mango felt that someone was pulling her out of the range of the smoke bomb. The


    voice beside her was somewhat familiar, and the corners of her lips raised slightly when she heard


    it.


    "You''re finally here, Henry! If you came a secondter, I would have been stabbed to death!"


    Mango punched him as she was feeling rather grateful to see him.


    Henry shyly touched his chest and said with a smile, "Madam, how can I forget what you''ve asked


    me to do? To be honest, I was afraid that my heart disease would affect my training when Mr. Ye


    sent me to the training base. However, Walter taught me a unique method to take care of it, so I


    managed to survive through the training."


    When Henry brought up Walter, Mango subconsciously asked, "Have you talked to Walter


    recently?"


    "Yeah, he sent me a message saying that he was travelling around in Norway recently."


    Again, Mango felt depressed instantly upon hearing Henry''s remarks.


    How dare Walter treat her this way?


    He could send a message to Novalee''s younger brother to inform thetter about his whereabouts,


    but he didn''t bother dropping Mango a text. Urgh! How annoying!"


    "Madam, wait outside, please. Let me deal with the situation here."


    Henry was standing in front of Mango when he said this, and Mango was reminded of the time


    when they first met.


    When she had met Henry the first time in Longford County, the only thing this shy boy wanted to do


    was to pursue a career in the medical field. However, he never expected him to be someone


    like this. After all, he was one of the captains that were working in Nathaniel''s training base now!


    In fact, Novalee would probably be d to see her brother''s achievements if she was still alive.


    Mango let out a sigh before she recovered from her trance.


    After the smoke cleared, Mango could see that Henry''s men had subdued most of Laney''s men.


    Furthermore, they had also surrounded and trapped those mercenaries that had escaped outside.


    Carmel frowned as she nced at Henry, who looked had a frail appearance. In fact, she didn''t


    want to admit that someone as weak as Henry had saved her. However, she had to acknowledge


    that Henry was talented atmanding other people around after she had seen how he had taken


    control of the situation easily without panicking.


    "Madam, what''s going on now?"


    Mango only smiled and looked at Laney, who was struggling in Carmel''s hands. She said in a low


    voice, "Hmm... Aunt Laney, would you like to take a guess and tell me what''s going on?"


    "Hah! Mango Shen, I''ve underestimated you, after all. I didn''t even expect you to have a backup


    n. Well, my people have never seen you contacting this person at all. Who is he?"


    Laney was unfamiliar with Henry. After all, only a few people from the Ye family knew who Henry


    was. In fact, if both Sisi and Newell were here, they wouldn''t recognise Henry as well.


    Henry was Novalee''s younger brother. After all, Novalee had done some unforgivable things to


    Walter, so people would never think that the Ye family would adopt any of Novalee''s siblings, let


    alone her twin brother. Therefore, Henry''s real identity was still mysterious now.


    When Mango saw Laney''s confused expression, she decided to kindly exin the current situation


    to her.


    "Heh. Do you really think that you''re smarter than Nathaniel?"


    "What? Did Nathaniel arrange all this?"


    Laney felt irritated at this thought. She knew that Mango had seen Nathaniel before she returned to


    Ocean City. At that time, she felt that since Nathaniel had been detained, she could deal with


    Mango easily even if he taught Mango some tactics. However, little did she expect that she would


    lose the game.


    Mango said in a low voice, "Do you really think that the Ye family only has one troop of elite


    bodyguards? You''ve mentioned that the Ye family has a training base, and no one else but


    Nathaniel can order this team around. However, you may not have found out that I''m the mistress of


    Dark Night Empire! Although Nathaniel disbanded Dark Night Empire, those who were remained


    loyal to the Ye familyter reunited again. Thus, the Dark Night Empire only listens to me. Before I


    came back, I did make a bet with Nathaniel whether I would lose to you or not. Well, I guess I


    almost lost it.


    Besides, I would''ve never used Henry''s team as a backup if I never made a bet with Nathan."


    Laney''s expression turned ghastly when she heard what Mango had said.


    "Hah! I guess it was my mistake since I didn''t think about this."


    "Winner takes all. Laney, it''s time to admit that you lost."


    Just as Mango finished speaking, Henry had already cleaned up the living room.


    "Madam, we''ve already cleaned out this ce. How shall we deal with this person?"


    Henry nced at Laney. Though he was fraillooking, Laney couldn''t help looking into his bright


    eyes.


    "Mango, you may not be able to do anything to me even if you catch me. I know that you went to


    meet Kolton, and he must have told you about my rtionship with Bernard. Do you think that


    Bernard would ignore me after I get caught? Do you want to hand me over to the police? Well, what


    crimes are you nning to charge me with? After all, the police need a reason to arrest me! Do you


    have any evidence of what I''ve done towards Sisi and Newell? Do you think that other people will


    believe that I did it if you don''t have any evidence? Heh. As long as I deny it, what can you


    do to me?"


    Laney said these words arrogantly.


    Mango felt a headacheing at this thought.


    Indeed, she could do nothing to Laney even if she had caught thetter.


    In fact, Laney was a troublesome existence right now. However, Mango could not allow Laney to


    continue stirring up trouble in the Ye family as well.


    "Take her away first and lock her up in the jail of Dark Night Empire. No one can see her without my


    order."


    "Yes, Madam."


    After answering Mango, Henry left and dragged Laney away with him.


    Then, the living room of the Yes Mansion immediately became quiet.


    Meanwhile, Carmel asked someone to clean up the living room. However, she still didn''t quite


    understand what was going on.


    "Madam, is Henry really working for you?"


    "Hmm? What are you thinking about?"


    Mango smiled inly upon hearing that.


    After all, she had won that match narrowly.


    Thankfully, Nathaniel had reminded her that Laney was suspicious. In fact, he had advised her to be


    more cautious whenever she interacted with Laney. If not, she wouldn''t have thought of using the


    strength of the Dark Night Empire to protect herself.


    It turned out that Nathaniel had made a right assumption.


    She had to admire Nathaniel''s brilliant mind at the moment. However, she truly missed him too right


    now.


    She had to deal with the things over there as soon as possible so that Nathaniel could be released


    quickly.


    Meanwhile, Carmel saw the corners of Mango''s lips rising to a smile slightly, but her gaze was


    cloudy. Thus, she knew that Mango was in a trance right now.


    When she saw this, she immediately coughed so that Mango could wake up from her trance.


    "Madam, I''m indeed curious. I''ve been with you all day long, but I''ve never seen you meet Henry or


    give him a call. How did you make contact with him? I didn''t even notice it!"


    Carmel felt upset when she brought this topic up.


    Mango smiled and said, "I didn''t mean to hide it from you on purpose, but Laney is way too cunning.


    Besides, she has a lot of spies, and I don''t know who would betray us. Hence, I asked Ned to help


    me pass on the message to Henry. Thus, even if Ned had to deal with an emergency, he could still


    send Henry to save up."


    "Well, didn''t you just say that no one besides you can mobilize the Dark Night Empire?"


    "Yeah, that''s why I gave my keepsake to Ned."


    Carmel finally understood the whole incident soon after Mango finished speaking.


    She had always felt that Mango was too kind-hearted, and she was worried that Mango would


    always be on the losing end. However, she didn''t expect that Mango would be brilliant enough to


    "Madam, it was simply too risky just now! I''m sorry, this was my mistake because I never thought


    that this would happen! Since Laney knows everything, does she also know about Sisi and her


    husband''s location? Shall we change another ce for them?"


    Carmel abruptly thought of this problem.


    Mango shook her head and said, "Nah, that''s not necessary. After all, I''m sure that the ce is


    secretive enough because Terrence found it for me. However, I suspect that he''s trapped


    somewhere. I think that he got himself into trouble after he helped me arrange for Sisi to go into the


    sanitorium. Let me call and ask himter. s! I hope that nothing terrible happened to him!"

    While Mango was speaking, her mobile phone suddenly rang.


    However, Mango''s expression changed slightly when she saw the number on the screen.
