The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 510

Upon seeing the beaming expression on Zion's face, Gissel was filled with excitement. Then, she quickly pulled Zion over to the side while handing over the drumstick that she had kept for him.

"Where did you get this?"

Zion was a little surprised.

It had been four days since he ate meat after coming here. Therefore, Zion was puzzled when he saw the drumstick.

Gissel gestured to tell him that it was given by John.

Although Zion didn't know who John was, he had an impression of that person.

The people whom Nathaniel held grudges on was certainly not a good person, and the thing John had given was definitely not something decent.

Despite being extremely hungry and Zion couldn't wait to shove that drumstick into his mouth, he still hesitated to accept the food.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"I don't like it. You can eat it."

Gissel expressed her unwillingness, and she pursed her lips while diverting her gaze to somewhere else.

Did she purposely keep the drumstick just for him?

Upon seeing her warmth and kindness, Zion was touched.

He hid the drumstick before whispering, "I'm not hungry yet. Since you don't like to eat it, then let's just keep it for tomorrow, just in case we're hungry."

Gissel was surprised when Zion refused to eat it just yet.

Zion couldn't tell her the reason behind it. However, he continued in a low voice, "This is what you left for me, therefore you can't eat it behind my back."

"I won't, and I've told you that I dislike it."

Gissel was actually a little hungry. However, she didn't dare to eat it after hearing Zion's words. Thus, Gissel could only take a sniff of it to relieve her hunger. After that, she immediately pulled Zion away for a rest.

It was a sleepless night.

Zion woke up very early the next morning.

He looked through the window and it was still dark outside.

Days passed by but each day felt like an eternity.

Soon, Gissel finally woke up. Upon seeing the dark circles beneath his tired eyes, she asked concernedly, "You didn't sleep well last night?"

"I did, but I woke up early. Tell everyone to be careful today and just do as planned. I promised that we will be able to escape today!"

Zion's determined words and firm gaze had given her a great sense of encouragement.

Gissel quickly woke the children up and she told everyone about Zion's intentions.

Zion looked outside. The maturity and steadiness in him at this moment weren't what normal children would have.

When the guard found that the children got up very early today, he said happily, "Look, everyone's behavior has improved. That's great! Well be less angry at you guys and there will be less beating, isn't it good? Let's go out for breakfast and start today's training."

The guard yawned while loosening up his attitude a little. He felt that the children might have surrendered. Just then, the keeper even asked for a cigarette from the person beside him.

"If you guys can be more obedient in the future, we won't have to go through so much trouble."

"We still have to see how they'd behave today."

Then, another guard talked to him.

The only time these children could eat at the table was in the morning. The kids were having porridge and breadsticks for breakfast today. Although the meals weren't very scrumptious, it was considered lucky enough to dine in a proper place.

Since the captives got up early, they had to set up the equipment for the other children of the shooting club that arrived late.

Zion and Gissel had been together this entire time.

While there was no one around, Zion whispered, "You must stay by my side no matter what happens. Do you understand?"

Although Gissel didn't know about Zion's intention, she nodded her head nonetheless.

After finishing the breakfast, they started to move the machines to the other venue.

Zion scanned around, especially towards the direction of the surveillance camera. Then, he said to Gissel in a low voice, "Take three steps to the right, and cover me for two seconds."

Gissel was very nervous. Although she had no idea what Zion was trying to do, Gissel still listened to him by walking three steps to the right.

Zion quickly planted his device under the equipment and he continued to move the stuff to the designated location with Gissel as if nothing had happened.

The only difference was that he needed to move it to a specified location with a power supply.

While no one was looking, Zion hurriedly connected the device to the socket.

At this moment, Walter's cell phone suddenly rang.

He frowned slightly. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Who could have called him so early in the morning?

He had been feeling depressed because of the matter surrounding Mango. Therefore, Walter had left for a few days with the excuse of going abroad to manage his business affairs. However, he was still worried about Mango and decided to return to Ocean City.

Knowing that Mango hadn't been leaving the Ye household recently and Nathaniel didn't show up much as well, Walter felt a sharp pang of jealousy.

The newlywed was having their sweet time together, but why did he insist on coming back?

Walter gobbled down the wine in a fit of anger the day before, and he had a headache now. Hence, Walter instinctively turned off his phone after hearing it rang.

Surprisingly, his phone kept on ringing despite being turned off, as if it was transmitting some kind of signal.

"Oh f*ck it, what the hell!"

Walter lifted off the blanket angrily before sitting up. Just as he was going to throw away the phone, Walter suddenly noticed a map with massive details being sent to his phone.

Just then, the last sentence appeared, "Call the police, save me! Shooting club! Zion Shen!"

Walter furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

Zion?

Did anything happen to him?

Walter wanted to call Mango about the situation. However, he changed his mind all of a sudden.

Zion wasn't an ordinary child.

If something happened, why didn't he ask the Ye family for help? Why didn't Zion call Nathaniel and Mango instead? Why did he contact him?

Was it because Zion was familiar with how his phone worked? Or was it because the child had installed something on his phone that allowed him to receive the information at the first instance?

Walter was full of doubts.

Meanwhile, after the transmitter had sent the intended message out, Zion immediately pulled out the device. Then, he continued to work with the other children as if nothing had happened.

After that, they were once again taken to the training ground to practice holding their breath underwater.

Seizing the opportunity to dive into the water, Zion directly threw the transmitter into the water.

After being soaked in the liquid, the electronic device was immediately damaged.

He couldn't take the risk of letting others found out about the tool, and Walter was his only hope now.

He just wished that his foolish uncle wouldn't ask for help from the Ye family.

Since Zion made the device hastily in a short period, the storage was very limited. Therefore, he couldn't send a long message to him. If not, Zion would explain the entire situation to Walter. Unfortunately, he could only summarize the main points.

He just prayed that Walter could understand his purpose.

Zion could only access Walter's phone command prompt because he had previously set it up in his phone while they were collaborating. Otherwise, Zion would have sent the message to Nathaniel instead of him.

However, if Nick was really going against Nathaniel, that was a high probability that his father's phone call was being monitored.

While Zion was lost in his thoughts, he accidentally choked on the water.

The water then rushed into his nose. It was stinging and uncomfortable. Despite that, Zion couldn't raise his head and he was forced to hold his breath in the water.

Zion began to struggle.

He was almost on the verge of dying.

Gissel noticed him struggling. She wanted to help him but was mercilessly pinned down by the person behind her.

"Behave yourself! There are still twenty seconds left before you can come out!"

Gissel was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Zion was choking so much that he kept spitting bubbles.

Twenty seconds!

He could do it!

Zion couldn't let anything happen to himself. He couldn't die!

After all, Zion had put in so much effort to deliver the message, and he still had to save Gissel!

At the thought of this, Zion quickly adjusted his breathing and he managed to hold his breath. However, it wasn't very successful as he choked on the water once again.

Twenty seconds felt like an eternity, and it was undoubtedly great torture for him.

Just when he was on the verge of giving up, the guard suddenly let go of him.

Zion quickly raised his head to gasp for air.

Gissel was very worried and anxious, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Zion looked at her while shaking his head, indicating that he was fine.

He didn't know when Walter would come and rescue them. All he could do now was to wait.

Meanwhile, Walter stared at his phone for a minute and he still couldn't figure out the situation.

Screw it!

He better gave Mango a call first!

Walter picked up his phone but mistakenly dialed the wrong number, and he was immediately connected to Thomas.

This was something that would never happen before.

Walter and Thomas were enemies, so how could he give him a call?

Walter was in a state of confusion until Thomas answered the phone.

"What's wrong?"

Thomas was also a little surprised.

Walter coughed before saying, "Lemme ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"Zion sent a map while asking me to call the police to save him, but why didn't he contact Nathaniel or Mango instead? Why did he transfer those messages to me? Do you know what the hell is going on in the Ye family?"

Upon listening to his words, Thomas became nervous.

"Have you called Madam yet?"

"Are you stupid? Will I still ask you if I did?"

Walter thought that he might have misunderstood, and he bet Thomas, that fool still couldn't decipher his words.

"Forget it! I'll deal with it myself. I should’ve known that you're dumber than me."

When he was about to hang up the phone, Thomas suddenly said, "Someone in the Ye family wants to hurt Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye. Meanwhile, Zion has been missing these days. Since he sent you a help signal, Zion is probably in a very dangerous situation. He trusts you while thinking that you're the only one who can help him. Walter, I don't care what kind of grudges you have towards the Ye family, but I'm begging you to help Zion for the sake of Mango."

Walter frowned again.

For the sake of Mango?

Even Thomas knew how to threaten Walter using his feelings for Mango, but why couldn't she see his love for her?
