Chapter 1401


    Mango''s heart skipped a beat, and her hand grabbed Nathaniel''s arm subconsciously.


    Nathaniel looked grim.


    They must have been exposed.


    At this moment, he had already done what he had to do, so he couldn''t give up here. Even if there


    was a tiny possibility that could put Mango in danger, he wouldn''t let that happen.


    Thinking of this, Nathaniel whispered, "I will take care of them. Follow that guard and head outside."


    "No!"


    Mango shook her head and felt very worried.


    However, Nathaniel patted her hand and said with a smile, "Don''t you have any confidence in me?"


    "I don''t have confidence in myself. Nathaniel, I want to be with you no matter what."


    Mango believed in her persistence firmly.


    Nathaniel felt a slight warmth in his heart, but said in a low voice, "But we haven''t finished our work


    yet. As and Laborn haven''t turned against each other, so our mission hasn''t beenpleted yet.


    Mango, trust me. Only when you are safe can I have the motivation to live." "No, I don''t want to."


    Mango shook her head like a rattle, while her eyes were full of tears.


    "Be good, alright? You are the mother of the Dark Night Empire. You know what to do best, right?"


    Of course, Mango knew, but she was unwilling to part with him.


    She didn''t want to leave Nathaniel.


    The war was so cruel that she didn''t want to leave Nathaniel even for a single moment. What if they


    couldn''t see each other again this time?


    Nathaniel, as if knowing what Mango was thinking, whispered, "Don''t worry. As long as I''m still alive,


    I''ll return to look for you and the children, even if I have to crawl my way home."


    "Promise me you''lle back to see me alive."


    "I promise you."


    Then, Nathaniel grabbed the back of Mango''s head and kissed her deeply.


    He did not like to part with her either.


    However, he was a soldier, and he had his responsibilities.


    Nathaniel was very unwilling, but at this moment, he was even more afraid that something would


    happen to Mango.


    Beforeing to Ango, he had already allocated all the assets under his name. If something


    happened to him, Mango would be the head of the Ye Family.


    He knew that he might be a little selfish by giving everything to Mango. Besides, she still needed to


    raise three children, and it was definitely not something that a woman could easily aplish on


    her own. He had always wanted Mango to be happy, live a life with no pressure at all, and do


    whatever she wanted. However, sometimes, the reality was never kind enough to him to make his


    idealse true.


    With the support of the Hans family and the Xiao family, even if something did happen to him,


    Mango would be fine.


    Every time he went on a mission, Nathaniel knew that it was a test of separation between life and


    death. No one could guarantee that he coulde back alive, not to mention that he was carrying


    out his mission abroad now. But he couldn''t say these words to Mango as he was afraid to see her


    cry and to see those tears of hers.


    Mango was never strong. Her so-called strength was forced, and she was actually a girl who cried


    easily.


    Nathaniel''s heart ached and he wanted time to stop at this moment so badly, so that he could just


    be with her andfort her, but it was all just an imagination.


    When the guards saw that Nathaniel was acting weirdly, they immediately took out their guns and


    became alert.


    "Who are you? Stand over there. We need to search you."


    Nathaniel released Mango, and he could still taste her tears in his mouth. Then, he smiled gently at


    her as he looked at Mango''s worried eyes.


    "Be good."


    "Nathaniel, I believe in you, so I will listen to you. But if you can''t keep your promise, I will hate you


    forever! I will never forgive you!"


    Mango said in a hoarse voice.


    "Alright."


    Nathaniel smiled, but his heart ached.


    What he feared the most in his life was Mango''s hatred, but what could he do now?


    No one could guarantee that nothing would go wrong and someone had to stay behind to fight.


    Now, he was willing to stay behind for Mango''s sake.


    Go!"


    Nathaniel pushed Mango away, and at the same time, he turned around suddenly, took out his


    pistol, and shot at the guards.


    "The king has ordered to shoot at anyone who looks suspicious!"


    The captain of the guards called out.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    At this, a fierce battle unfolded.


    Mango gave Nathaniel onest look and engraved his heroic posture deeply in her mind. Then, she


    was pulled away by the guard who was helping them.


    She dared not look back, because she was afraid that she couldn''t bear to leave when she saw


    Nathaniel''s face again.


    The temperature of his lips was still warm on hers as if she could still feel his kiss from earlier, but


    their parting had already begun.


    She hated to part!


    She really hated it! Especially parting with Nathaniel!


    Mango was extremely upset, and her eyes were even more so as she held back her tears. She


    didn''t know how she escaped, nor did she know where she was going to go, as her heart was long


    left with Nathaniel.


    Soon, the guard brought Mango to a safe ce.


    It was a house downtown, and it was located in the center of the city. It was surrounded by ordinary


    people and there were many shops next to it. It was very busy, and no one would have thought that


    Mango would hide here.


    However, it didn''t matter much to Mango. Her heart was in her mouth as she gazed outside.


    The interior of the house was nice. She didn''t know whose house it was, but at this moment, she


    knew that she was safe.


    Suddenly, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door. Mango rushed out immediately.


    "Nathan, you''re back?"


    She ran out in high hopes, but the person who got out of the car froze the smile on her face.


    It was Eugene Sanchez.


    Mango had never thought that Eugene was also in this.


    "Mr. Sanchez? Is this your house?"


    Mango''s brain was whirring like a machine.


    "Yes."


    Eugene did not deny it.


    He came alone and did not bring Emberly with him.


    Mango and Eugene were not very familiar with each other. Although she knew that he was


    Nathaniel''s brother and a powerful person in Ocean City, she did not know what to say and ask at


    this moment.


    Eugene said in a low voice, "Let''s go inside. Although they are all my men, your goal is too obvious.


    I''m afraid the enemy will see us."


    "Alright."


    Mango nodded and looked outside once again with disappointment. Then, she followed Eugene in.


    "Those pce guards are your men too, aren''t they?"


    Mango''s brain was working fast, and she quickly figured everything out.


    "Yes."


    Eugene nodded.


    "I have a different identity, and I know both the government and the underworld over the years.


    Therefore, it is difficult for others to enter Ango, but I don''t need to at all, because the guards are


    all local people. Naturally, they don''t need to have visas. As for why are they working for me, that''s


    something you don''t need to know. I came here to take you away. Nathaniel sent me a message


    before entering the pce, telling me to help you leave Ango and send you back to Ocean City."


    However, Nathaniel''s words were not exactly like this. He had said that if anything happened to him,


    Eugene must help Mango leave Ango and send her back to Ocean City.


    This was his brother''s request.


    Now that Eugene was here, it meant that something had happened to Nathaniel.


    However, Eugene couldn''t tell Mango about this right now. He didn''t dare.


    Eugene knew more or less about Nathaniel and Mango''s rtionship. He couldn''t interfere in


    military affairs, but he could protect Mango. This was a mutual understanding between him and


    Nathaniel.


    However, Mango was not stupid.


    There was no news from Nathaniel, but Eugene had suddenly appeared and wanted to take her


    away. What did this mean?


    Mango''s heart ached all of a sudden.


    "Something happened to him, right?"


    Mango''s eyes were fixed on Eugene.


    Eugene said calmly, "I don''t know. The news I received was that he asked me to take you back


    home. As for the rest, it''s not something that I must know. You''re aware that Nathaniel''s identity is


    special. The military region always contains high confidentiality agreements. Although you''ve


    always been following him, military regtions will not let you take part in top-secret missions. So,


    him asking you to leave doesn''t necessarily mean something happened to him. There is probably a


    new military operation going on. You will be a burden to him if you stay."


    It had to be admitted that Eugene was very talented in this aspect.


    Mango didn''t know whether she should trust Eugene''s words, but his words did seem to make


    sense. However, without seeing Nathaniel, her heart couldn''t calm down at all.


    "Can I contact him?"


    "I''m afraid you can''t. Perhaps you don''t know this but they are not allowed to contact others before a


    mission. Although I''m not a soldier, it''s not the first time I''m working with the military. I know some of


    the rules. Since Nathaniel was able to send me a message and ask me to take you home, then he


    should be alright."


    Eugene''s expression was calm, and he was not anxious or flustered.


    Mango looked at him for a long time before saying softly, "Did he have anything to say to me?"


    "Whatever he wanted to say, he should have said it already, right? It''s not something I can pass on."


    The more calm Eugene was, the more uneasy Mango felt.


    Was it a sudden secret operation?


    What was so important that he couldn''t tell even her?


    Prestin was dead, Lebanon was also ''dead'', and Bernard was too. Now, only As and Laborn were


    left. ording to their original n, they wanted the two brothers to go against each other. This


    matter should have been done by the Acker family, or even if there was a need to add fuel to the


    fire, it wouldn''t require the military to do it.


    Moreover, there wasn''t any army Nathaniel could mobilize here. The Acker family''s people were still


    under Laborn''s surveince, and they didn''t dare to make any move. Even Prisci was forced to


    stay inside, so what secret mission could it be?


    It was just an excuse to deceive her.


    Mango knew very well that something had definitely happened to Nathaniel.


    It was because he was in trouble that he got Eugene to take her away.


    This was what Nathaniel would do.


    Mango was so upset she felt as if she was on the verge of death, but her face was calm. She stood


    up and said in a low voice, "Since that''s the case, let''s go."


    Eugene heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Mango''s reaction. The mission that his brother gave


    him this time was too difficult. He didn''t even know what would Mango do if she were to find out


    about the truth.


    As he thought about this, Eugene nodded, stood up, and took the lead in walking outside. At the


    same time, Mango immediately stabbed a syringe into Eugene''s neck and said apologetically, "I''m


    sorry. This will only make you sleep. You will wake up in half an hour. I can''t leave. Nathaniel


    promised me that he woulde back to see me alive. I will never leave without seeing him!"
