Chapter 1314


    "Hah! Now you know how painful it is, right? Don''t you know how anxious I was when you were in


    trouble?"


    Although Mango said these harsh words, she still held Rita in her arms.


    Meanwhile, Rita wrapped her arms around Mango''s neck and said with a smile, "Well, you love me


    the most, mommy! So I love you the most too!"


    "Haha! Why are you so good at ttering me?''


    Mango couldn''t help butugh after hearing what she said.


    After that, Rita continued to show off her cute charms. Hence, even though Mango was still a little


    furious, she still quickly calmed down.


    Meanwhile, they had arranged for Lilian to stay in a separate tent, and Maverick guarded her in


    person. Nathaniel then went aside with Morgan and told him everything that had happened for the


    past few days.


    After hearing Nathaniel''s report, Morgan frowned slightly and whispered, "Are you trying to tell me


    that Augustus Abbott is As Fang? Now that''s interesting! Hehe!"


    "What do you mean?"


    Morgan sneered and said, "Heh! If he was not a citizen of Ango and was a terrorist instead, we


    could deal with him ourselves. But if he is a citizen of Ango, we''ll have to think about the different


    factors involved in this, including diplomatic rtions. Furthermore, I need to notify Mateo about


    this. He should still be in Ango."


    "Huh? Is Mateo in Ango?"


    Nathaniel could not help but feel a little surprised when he heard this.


    No one knew where Mateo had been sent to carry out his mission. After hearing Morgan say that


    Mateo was in Ango, it was evident that they had been in contact.


    Nathaniel suddenly understood what was going on right now.


    "We will still have to withhold this confidential information from Mango and Maverick, right?"


    Nathaniel asked as he knew this rule. However, Mateo was Mango''s uncle, so she was always


    worried about him. Now that they had news of Mateo, Nathaniel wanted to tell Mango about this


    without breaking any of the military''s rules.


    However, Morgan said awkwardly, "Well, you know the rules..." "Alright."


    Nathaniel nodded and said nothing more.


    Morgan then said in a low voice, "Maverick is not from the military after all, so it is inconvenient for


    him to stay here. If it''s possible, maybe we could send them to Ocean City, and I could send men to


    protect them there?"


    "There''s no need for that. Maverick has his ns, so they won''t stay here for too long."


    Nathaniel shook his head and refused the idea.


    After all, Maverick was not an easygoing man. He had his forces and was involved in an association


    that was almost illegal. Hence, if they chose to protect Maverick like a weakling, thetter would feel


    humiliated instead!


    "Besides, Lilian is his lover, and she just had a miscarriage a few days ago. If we need Lilian''s help


    here, Maverick would have to stay with her."


    Nathaniel knew the rules, but Lilian was not from the military region. Hence, they could not use the


    military rules to order her around.


    When Morgan heard this, he said softly, "I have to ask the higher-ups for instructions then."


    "Got it."


    Nathaniel didn''t say anything else and immediately returned to Mango''s side.


    Meanwhile, Rita and Wisdom were ying with each other while Mango sat in a chair and watched


    them with a smile. She liked these peaceful days and felt that it would be even better if Zion could


    come over.


    Then, Nathaniel walked over and said softly, "It''s colder here in the mountains because of the strong


    wind. You should wear more clothes, alright?"


    "Nah, I''m fine."


    Mango smiled faintly with a peaceful expression on her face.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel did the same and sat beside her. As he watched Wisdom and Rita having fun,


    he whispered, "Zion is recovering from his injuries. If you miss him, I can bring him here."


    "It''s alright. We don''t know what will happen next here, so I would rather send Rita and Wisdom


    away. It doesn''t matter whether we are going to fight As or go to Ango next. I still think it would


    pose a great danger for the kids if they stay with us."


    Mango missed Zion, but she was also worried about the kids'' safety. The best solution right now


    was to send the kids to Baxter Alliance. After all, Michael was there, so he could protect the kids.

    Nathaniel had the same thought as Mango, so he nodded his head.


    "Okay, I''ll send them back tomorrow."


    "Let''s send them back today instead."


    Mango was reluctant to part with the children, but she also knew how dangerous it was to keep


    them by her side.


    During the past few days that Rita had lost contact with her, Mango had not been able to sleep at


    night. Although Rita was a genius, she was only five years old! Was it alright to expose her to the


    dark sides of humanity when she was still a child?


    The Ye Family was not short of money or power. Why would they let their children lead such a


    dangerous life since childhood?


    They should have a peaceful and happy childhood instead! Even if they were geniuses, they


    deserved to grow up slowly like other ordinary children.


    Mango didn''t know what they would be like when they grew up, but it was important to her that her


    children lived a life that they deserved at their age.


    At this thought, Mango tugged at the hem of Nathaniel''s clothes and whispered, "Nathan, I want to


    discuss something with you."


    "Go ahead."


    Mango rarely spoke to him this lovingly. Right now, even if she made an impossible request,


    Nathaniel would probably find a way to grant her


    wish.


    However, Mango didn''t realize how charming she was to him right now. Instead, her mind was filled


    with thoughts about the children.


    She whispered, "After this, I want Zion to leave the military. Then, Rita should stop learning how to


    snipe too. s! I want them to live like ordinary kids. I want them toplete their education all the


    way to still high school so that they can figure out what they want to do in the future. I know they are


    talented, and they might be known as geniuses, but they are our children! They are still young, and


    they don''t know what they want in life. Hence, it''s unfair and cruel for us to determine the future for


    them. Look at what they''ve gone through. Do you think that it''s alright for a five-year-old child to


    know how cruel the world can be? What will happen to their future? Will there be something for


    them to look forward to?"


    As Mango said this, she looked at Wisdom, who looked so mature for his age. When they first met,


    this child looked innocent and cheerful. But now, he had be too mature. Although he had


    changed so much because he had lost his family, his personality also changed because he had


    seen how cruel humans could be!


    After his parents died, Bettany took him in as a student and treated him well. If it hadn''t been for


    Bettany''s betrayal, Wisdom would still be her disciple. But what about now?


    When Wisdom learnt about what had happened to Bettany, he didn''t say anything. But no one knew


    who was going through his mind at all!


    The teacher he had trusted nned to plot against his mother. s! How could he ept this


    truth?!


    Then, Mango turned to look at Rita. Rita was an excellent sniper, and she hadn''t caused any


    casualties yet. Now that they were living in such dire circumstances, Mango didn''t know what Rita''s


    future would look like. However, she was sure that Rita could no longer live an ordinary life


    anymore.


    Besides, Rita''s body had always been weak. Although she had undergone a transnt, she still


    needed to be on medication.


    Well, Mango had no other concerns. All she wanted was for Rita to grow up safely and healthily.


    Furthermore, what about Zion?


    If he hadn''t been a genius and entered the military at such a young age, how would he have known


    so much?


    He had even faced turmoils that even adults could not handle! Hence, why did they think that a five-


    year-old child could withstand such torture?


    Thus, Mango''s heart ached whenever she thought about Zion''s personality disorder.


    Thus, she slowly expressed her thoughts to Nathaniel.


    There was a trace of sadness in her voice as she said these words. Hence, Nathaniel immediately


    regretted his actions after hearing what she had said.


    Nathaniel looked at Mango and realized that he had not thought as thoroughly about the children as


    she did. After all, Mango gave birth to Zion and Rita and had used everything she had to raise them.


    As a father who arrivedte at the scene, he hadn''t thought of these things.


    He felt bad and said in a low voice, "Okay, I promise you this. When Rita and Wisdom go back, I will


    get Michael to introduce them to some peers they can y together with. Well, we don''t need


    outstanding geniuses in the Ye family. We only need them to be safe and sound."


    "Alright."


    Mango nodded in reply after hearing his suggestion.


    Then the loving couple hugged and sat together peacefully.


    Soon, Lilian came out of the room after a while with Maverick following behind.


    Maverick hugged Lilian from behind and heard her say, "Will we ever have children? If we do, how


    should we educate them?


    There was a hint of envy in Lilian''s eyes as she said these words, and she unconsciously touched


    her belly.


    s! She had a chance to be a mother. If they didn''t lose the first child, the child would probably be


    in elementary school by now.


    At this thought, tears of regret started flowing down her face.


    When Maverick saw this, he stretched out his finger and gently wiped away her tears. Then, he said


    softly, "We''ll definitely have children. Both of us are outstanding, so I''m sure we''ll have children in


    the future. Even if we don''t end up having a child, we can always adopt one. There''s no need to cry


    over spilt milk, alright? Your body can''t take this emotional distress anymore. Also, if you didn''t insist


    on getting revenge, I wouldn''t have agreed to let you help Morgan with the spell formation here at


    the camp too!"


    Maverick was right about this.


    He grew up watching how As cared only about conspiring and reaping the most profits for


    himself, so he had learnt how to survive in such a cruel environment. Therefore, things like serving


    his country were meaningless to him. The most important thing to him right now was to appreciate


    the people around him. Thus, all he wanted to do was to take one step at a time and live a fulfilling


    life before he died.


    Hence, he only came here for two reasons. One was because of the tight-knit rtionship between


    Nathaniel and Morgan, and he couldn''t ignore his only brother''s request. The other reason he came


    here was because of the blood feud between Lilian and As.


    As'' forces were widely spread out. If he only relied on his own force, he wouldn''t be able to


    protect Lilian. Therefore, he needed Morgan''s help right now.


    After all, Maverick knew better than anyone that he was not weed here, but did he have a


    choice?


    His wife was here, so he had to stay there too. If he needed to leave, he had Lilian with him.


    Lilian had been with Maverick for twelve years, so she knew him well. After all, Maverick still felt


    upset as he didn''t want to stay in the ce. In fact, if it wasn''t for Lilian''s blood feud, Maverick


    wouldn''t have to endure this.


    At this moment, Lilian hoped more than anyone else to learn that Maverick and As were not


    rted by blood.


    Everything was peaceful and calm, and their lives seemed perfect. But everyone knew that this was


    just the calm before the storm, and the days of bloodshed were getting nearer.
