The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 496

"Nick is back?"

Madam Ye's expression changed immediately.

"I'll head downstairs and talk to him. After all, my son's abducted his."

Nathaniel was so pissed off that he wanted to beat Zion to death.

Meanwhile, Mango was also worried. The two brothers had fought due to Wisdom yesterday, and the kid ran away from home today. How was she going to explain this?

After that, all of them headed downstairs.

Nick's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't seem to have rested the whole night. He questioned the three of them as they arrived downstairs.

"Where's Wisdom? I'm here to take him."

When Madam Ye heard his words, anger raged in her chest before Nathaniel and Mango could say anything.

"You still want to take him away? He's run away from home because of your harsh beatings!"

"What?"

Nick didn't quite understand what his mother meant.

"What do you mean by that?"

Madam Ye said angrily, "Would he have run away if you weren't so harsh on him? Not only him, Zion's run away as well, and now the Ye family has lost two boys. Are you happy? Satisfied? Do

you feel good about yourself?"

"Mom, this has nothing to do with Wisdom. It's completely..."

"Shut up!"

Nathaniel was scolded by Madam Ye before finishing his words.

Mango also remained silent when she saw how angry Madam Ye was.

It was not until then that Nick came to his senses.

"That little brat actually ran away from home? I'll break his legs!"

"If you dare to touch a hair on his head, I'll break your legs first!"

Madam Ye was truly pissed off now. Perhaps it was the helplessness of having lost both her grandsons, but she could only vent her anger at Nick.

Nick was stunned for a moment before he turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Madam Ye asked when she saw his reaction.

Nick replied anxiously, "Where else? I'm going to find Wisdom!"

At that moment, he was fully in worried father mode.

"Yes, of course, let's find the kids first!"

Mango hurriedly went back to her room for a change without even washing her face. Then, she left the house with Nathaniel.

The other members of the Ye family were also diligently looking for both of the children.

However, they couldn't publicly search for them, just in case anyone decided to kidnap them to extort the Ye family for money.

Moreover, they couldn't carry out any of their plans as nothing was more important than finding Zion and Wisdom.

Mango was so anxious that her heart beat erratically.

"Don't worry too much. Zion, that brat will be fine."

This was the only way that Nathaniel could calm Mango down, but she found it impossible to stay collected.

As Mango and Nathaniel searched for Zion and Wisdom on the streets, both children had arrived at Maxwell's address through the metro.

"Wow, it's really nice here!"

Wisdom was very impressed with the shooting club before him.

Zion had also assumed that it would be a small workshop, but he didn't expect it to be so lavish.

"I knew it! We'd definitely make something of ourselves here."

Zion proudly took Wisdom's hand and they walked in.

At first, no one paid any attention to them. Zion spotted a lot of parents bringing their children to observe the place while signing up, and the two followed behind the queue.

Hence, Wisdom was a little confused and he asked, "Aren't you here for the registration? Why are we following them?"

"Let's find out what's going on. Otherwise, we might fall into a trafficker's clutches."

Zion's words immediately made Wisdom feel that there was a lot of truth to it.

"Yeah, you're right. You've always been so smart, Zion."

Both of them followed behind the crowd as they listened to the instructors explain to the parents. Furthermore, they brought them to see the other members shooting and a hall of fame.

The parents were satisfied, and Zion and Wisdom were impressed as well.

Just as they were about to hand in the money for the enrollment, a commotion erupted outside.

"What's going on?"

The manager was a little confused and he asked the security guard who came in.

The guard muttered, "I don't know, but some men from the Ye family are here to look for something, and we didn't dare ask. The leader of the group is the second son of the Ye family, Nick Ye."

Zion and Wisdom were stunned for a moment upon those words, and they went hiding in the crowd.

"What do we do? My Daddy is here, and he'll kill me if he finds me!"

Wisdom was very frightened.

Zion's face scrunched up into a frown and he asked, "You didn't leave any clues, right?"

"No, absolutely not."

Wisdom shook his head quickly.

Zion said in a low voice, "That's strange. If we didn't leave any clues, why would Uncle come here to look for us right away? Both of us left at midnight, and we had to dodge a lot of things before reaching here, but Uncle arrives this place right away."

"What should we do then?"

Wisdom did not pay attention to what Zion was saying at all.

The reason why they ran away from home was to avoid Nick's rigorous training, right? God knew what would happen if they were caught now! Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

At the thought of this, Wisdom felt extremely scared.

Zion sensed Wisdom's fear and said, "Don't be afraid. Follow me, and we'll find a place to hide. As long as Uncle leaves without finding us, we’ll be fine."

"But where can we hide?"

"Follow me."

Zion grabbed Wisdom's hand and they quickly walked towards the crowded area.

The more people, the less attention would be paid to them.

Zion and Wisdom slithered among the crowd

like snakes, and they quickly ducked into a side room when they heard the manager addressed Nick.

It looked like someone's office, and it was decorated rather nicely. The space was open-plan, and there was nowhere to hide.

"What should we do? Will we be caught if we leave now?"

All rational thoughts left Wisdom's mind.

Nick's arrival had literally scrambled his brain.

Zion looked around quickly, and he noticed a ventilation shaft.

The vent was quite hidden, but it was small. Hence, it was perfect for kids like them to hide in it. As long as they didn't make a sound, no one would find them.

"Quick, hide in the air vent above us!"

Zion's words confused Wisdom.

"How do we get up there? There's nowhere to climb."

"The windowsill. Get up there using the windowsill, hurry!"

Zion immediately pushed Wisdom to the window.

At this point, Wisdom didn't care about anything else. He was even grateful for Nick's training, which enabled him to reach the vent easily.

With some difficulties, he pushed aside the cover of the ventilation system before motioning for Zion to come up as well.

Compared to Wisdom, Zion's movements were much lighter and faster.

The two kids quickly hid inside and they closed the cover together.

Just as they did that, footsteps sounded for the outside and someone pushed the door open.

"Mr. Ye, what pleasure do I owe for this visit?"

The manager followed Nick with an appeasing smile on his face.

When Zion and Wisdom saw Nick, the two of them nearly froze solid.

Oh God!

Weren't they unlucky?

Was this actually the manager's room?

However, they saw Nick sit down coldly on the office chair and he said, "I have a task for you."

"Of course, Mr. Ye! Anything you want."

The manager seemed extremely afraid of Nick and his forehead was covered in a cold sweat.

Nick said indifferently, "My son, Wisdom has run away from home last night with my elder brother's son, Zion. This is a photo of both of them, so have your men find them as soon as possible. Remember, secrecy is paramount, and no one shall know that the Ye family's children are missing."

"Of course!"

The manager became even more nervous and his hands trembled as he took the photo from Nick.

But before he could take the photo, Nick muttered, "Once you find them, knock Wisdom out and bring him back. As for Zion..."

Both boys' bodies suddenly stiffened.

The manager was a little confused as he looked at Nick before replying, "What should we do with Zion then?"

"Find an isolated place to kill him and throw his body into the sea. Don't leave any trace."

Zion simply couldn't believe his ears.

What?

His own uncle actually wanted to kill him?

Wisdom was also stunned.

Was this his daddy?

How could this be?

Why did his father want to kill Zion?

He glanced at Zion, only to find that the other boy's expression was quite unsightly. Then, Wisdom nearly spoke but Zion realized it and he tightly covered his mouth.

That was close!

If Nick found out that they were here, they would all be dead!

The manager was a little surprised after hearing the order.

"What's wrong? Can't you handle it?"

"No, Mr. Ye. Now that they're missing, the entire family will be looking for them. So, if our men kill Zion, I'm afraid..."

The manager was rather afraid.

However, Nick sneered and he said, "Are those shooting coaches of yours useless? What does this club do? As far as I know, Zion loves to shoot, so have your coaches search the amusement parks for shooting games. After that, use the club to tempt him into joining. Once he's here, everything will be within our control. Of course, we should avoid confrontation with anyone from the Ye family, especially Mango and Nathaniel."

"Yes, sir!"

Only then did the manager pick up the photo.

As he looked at the similar-looking children in the photo, he asked, "Which of them is your son, sir?"

"That's Wisdom, my son."

Nick procured a photo of Wisdom and he handed it to the manager.

"I can't stay for long as I have to pretend to look for the children with them. This is a good opportunity for us, okay? Have your men be smart about this."

"Yes, sir!"

The manager nodded quickly.

After Nick finished speaking, he left the office.
