Chapter 1312


    "Isn''t Lilian in poor health?"


    Mango was a little surprised to hear this.


    However, Maverick smiled and said, "You can think of it as a gift of gratitude to you for helping her


    unload the burden in her heart. I will carry her thereter, and as long as she wears enough


    clothing, she will be fine. Well, I think she wants to know the result of the paternity test more than


    anymore here."


    That was true.


    Lilian had loved Maverick for so many years. Hence, she had been torn apart because she had to


    choose between her feelings and getting her revenge. She even lost several children for this blood


    feud, so she wanted to know the results of this blood test more than anyone.


    Nathaniel saw that Maverick had already made up his mind, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you


    guys get ready. I will go out with Mango for a walk."


    "Don''t go too far. I haven''t taken over all the forces herepletely, so I''m worried that both of you


    will be in danger.


    Maverick was not perfect. Although he was As''s son, As had not given him much authority over


    the years. Now that As was missing, he temporarily controlled some forces by violent means.


    However, he still could not take over entirely those forces that had been loyal to As for many


    years in a short time.


    Nathaniel naturally knew this as well.


    The two brothers nodded at each other, and then Nathaniel brought Mango out of the house.


    The scene outside had almost been cleaned up, and there was no smell of blood anymore.


    However, they could still recall what had happened asionally, even though it looked peaceful


    right now.


    Mango didn''t really like this ce, but she couldn''t leave for the time being. After observing her


    surroundings for a moment, she realized that there was a small reservoir behind the house. Thus,


    she couldn''t help but tug at Nathaniel''s sleeve and say, "Let''s go over and sit there."


    "Alright."


    Nathaniel knew what Mango was thinking, so he took her hand and walked over.


    It was quiet there, and the water in the reservoir was crystal clear. Thus, they could see fish


    swimming happily inside.


    Mango couldn''t help butugh, "Haha! As sure knows how to enjoy life. He even raised his own


    fish to eat!"


    However, Nathaniel''s brows furrowed slightly.


    "Nah, this fish isn''t edible. This is an electric fish."


    "Electric fish?"


    Mango was a little surprised to hear this.


    Then, Nathaniel was deep in thought as he whispered, "These fish are all filled with electricity. Well,


    it wouldn''t be such a big deal if there was only one fish in the pond. However, arge current will be


    produced as there are so many electric fish in this pond. Hence, anyone who falls into this pond will


    be electrocuted to death!"


    Mango was stunned after she heard Nathaniel''s electricity.


    Water conducted electricity, and more currents would be produced by the electric fish. If someone


    fell into the water...


    At this thought, Mango couldn''t help but shudder.


    "Let''s go then."


    It didn''t matter why Mango wanted toe over just now. Right now, Nathaniel could only sense


    that this ce was dangerous.


    Mango didn''t stay as well, and she followed Nathaniel''s footsteps and left. However, she then


    turned her head to look at the electric fish inside the reservoir curiously again and frowned.


    Suddenly, a ck shadow shed past, but Mango never got to see his face clearly.


    "Someone''s here!"


    Mango paused slightly as she said this. Then, Nathaniel immediately pulled her into his embrace


    and said in a low voice, "No matter who it is, let''s leave right now."


    Mango had sensed Nathaniel''s nervousness, so she quickly walked outside as Nathaniel held her.


    But it was too stillte.


    Nathaniel could only sense the ck shadow as thetter dashed in front of him. Before he could


    react, he could smell a pungent scent.


    "Hold your breath, Mango!"


    Nathaniel quickly reminded Mango, but he breathed in some powder and instantly felt a little dizzy.


    Mango did not breathe in any powder because of Nathaniel''s protection. At this moment, when she


    saw Nathaniel''s expression, she quickly opened the water bottle in her hand and sshed it on


    Nathaniel''s face.


    Fortunately, when she came out just now, she took a bottle of water with her to drink. Finally, it had


    come in handy now.


    On the other hand, Nathaniel became a little sober after being stimted by the cold water.


    He quickly said to Mango, "Go back quickly and find Maverick."


    "What about you?"


    Mango was worried about Nathaniel, so she couldn''t help but ask this.


    Nathaniel''s gaze was slightly cold. Then, he looked in the direction where the shadow disappeared


    and said, "I''m going to catch this person."


    "No! Come back with me! It''s too dangerous for you to stay here."


    Mango disagreed and even ignored Nathaniel''s objections by forcefully pulling him away.


    Nathaniel wanted to disagree at first, but when he saw Mango''s worried expression, his heart finally


    softened.


    He then held Mango''s hand and walked out. However, he still turned around to take a look.


    The side of the reservoir was covered with grass which was almost as tall as them, so a few people


    could hide there easily.


    After that, Nathaniel silently remembered everything before bringing Mango back to the house.


    When Maverick saw that they hade back early, he asked them with a smile, "Wow! You all


    finished your walk quickly!"


    "Nathan seemed to have breath in some powder."


    Mango''s tone was urgent, so Maverick immediately became nervous.


    "What''s going on?"


    "There''s someone near the reservoir."


    Maverick became anxious after hearing what Nathaniel had said.


    "Did you guys go to the reservoir?"


    "Yeah, we nned to sit around there since it''s quieter. s! I didn''t expect something dangerous to


    happen instead!"


    Nathaniel did not hide anything from Maverick.


    Maverick then quickly brought in a doctor.


    The doctor examined Nathaniel and found that he had breathed in a fragrance that would cause


    temporary unconsciousness. It was not harmful to the body, but it would make people faint and lose


    their mobility.


    Suddenly, Mango recalled the situation. If Nathaniel had fainted and was thrown into the reservoir,


    wouldn''t the electric fish kill him?


    The moment Mango thought of this, she shuddered in fear.


    After the doctor dealt with Nathaniel, he left.


    Nathaniel''s body was a little sore and weak because of the powder, and he could only lean on the


    sofa.


    However, when he saw how worried Mango was, he smiled and said, "It''s okay. I''m fine."


    "If I hadn''t stopped you, you would have been digging your own grave!"


    When she thought about how Nathaniel was going to stay behind, Mango felt a little angry.


    Nathaniel saw that his wife was angry, so he quickly said, "I thought I would be alright too."


    "Heh! Did you really think so? Do you think that would be helpful? Nathaniel, let me tell you this. If


    you were to task risks and neglect your safety like this in the future, I''ll never talk to you again!"


    In the end, Mango still couldn''t say anything that was too cruel.


    Maverick wanted to say something. But the couple was obviously disyed their affections in front


    of him, so he was a little frustrated.


    "Hey, you two! stop that!"


    However, Nathaniel directly ignored his dissatisfaction and asked in a low voice, "What''s with those


    electric fish?"


    Maverick was deep in thought when he heard


    Nathaniel''s question.


    "As raised those fish to deal with subordinates who are disobedient. When his subordinates make


    mistakes, they would be thrown into the river. After they died of electrocution, their corpses would


    be thrown in the mountains to feed the dogs. He has a few big dogs in the mountain."


    Mango was immediately stunned when she heard this.


    She had imagined how evil humans could be, but she had never thought that As could be this


    cruel!


    At this thought, her palms started to be sweaty.


    Fortunately, As was trapped in Lilian''s array. Otherwise, more people would suffer because of


    him!


    On the other hand, Nathaniel also frowned slightly, but no one knew what he was thinking.


    "When are we going to see As?"


    "We will go in a while. Lilian is still preparing herself. Besides, you need to rest for a bit because of


    what happened too. Since we have been waiting for quite some time, we can still wait a little longer,


    right?"


    Maverick was already ready to go, but he said so because Nathaniel needed about twenty minutes


    more to recover from the powder.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel didn''t say anything else.


    Mango thought of the ck shadow and could not help but ask worriedly, "Is the ck figure we


    saw one of As'' men?"


    "I think so. I haven''t caught him yet."


    At this thought, Maverick was frustrated.


    He had only managed to take control of the peripheral forces by using force. However, he didn''t


    manage to get in contact with the people who were workingmanding these forces.


    On the other hand, Mango said worriedly, "Since you haven''t caught the man, why do you dare to


    stay here? Aren''t you worried that they would attack Lilian? She''s still in poor health, so her body


    wouldn''t be able to withstand it!"


    Maverick smiled lightly when he saw how anxious Mango was.


    "Don''t worry. I''m not afraid of them, so let theme whenever they want."


    After hearing Maverick''s words and seeing how confident he was, Mango knew that Maverick had


    already made sufficient preparations.


    At this thought, Mango didn''t say anything after that.


    While Nathaniel waited, he held Mango''s hand tightly. Although his eyes were closed, he was deep


    in thought.


    What did that ck figure want just now?


    Did the figure want to attack him and Mango?


    Or did he have another reason to do so?


    Nathaniel could not understand what was going on.


    Mango, on the other hand, didn''t think much about it. However, she still felt anxious when she saw


    the current state Nathaniel was in.


    If she hadn''t brought Nathaniel to the reservoir, he wouldn''t have ended up this way, right?


    Nathaniel seemed to know what Mango was thinking and said in a low voice, "As is more cunning


    than I think. After all, he could stay here as an imposter without anyone finding out his identity for so


    many years. Therefore, he must have his own schemes! If we see As in the formationter on,


    stay behind me and don''t rush to the front, alright?"


    Mango nodded in reply after hearing what Nathaniel had said.


    "Alright. You better recover quickly then."

    Then, Maverick asked someone to bring a cup of ginseng tea for Nathaniel.


    "Here, drink some of this to regain your strength.


    You''ll feel better after this."


    Nathaniel did not hold back and immediately drank it.


    About half an hourter, Nathaniel had regained his strength, and Lilian was also ready. Although


    the temperature outside was not low, Lilian still wore a lot of clothing, so Maverick was amused


    when he saw her.


    "Naha! You look like a penguin."


    "Are you embarrassed by me now?"


    Lilian nced at Maverick with a seductive expression as she said these words.


    Finally, Lilian could think of Maverick as her lover because she had sorted out the mixed feelings in


    her heart. Her pout and adorable expression enticed Maverick, which slowly roused his desires, but


    he could only suppress them.


    Urgh! This was too difficult for him!


    Meanwhile, Mango smiled at Lilian and nodded, "Well, I''m sorry you had to go through that."


    "It''s alright. Without you, I would still be wallowing in self-pity instead. Haha!"


    For the first time, Lilianughed from the bottom of her heart.


    When Mango saw Lilian''s smile, she realized that Lilian was very beautiful, especially when she


    smiled.


    Then, Nathaniel held Mango''s hand, and Maverick carried Lilian before they walked outside.


    Meanwhile, there was already a car waiting outside.


    After the four of them got in the car, Nathaniel got into the driver''s seat. Then, Mango sat in the


    passenger seat while Maverick carried Lilian in the back seat. After that, they left Maverick''s ce.


    Then, after Lilian had reminded them of their destination, the car went straight to the cave behind


    Zelle Vige. It was only now that Mango realized that Lilian had trapped As here!
