"What're you doing? Are you going to use your gun just because you can't retaliate? You're totally a coward!"
Mango looked at Xander with contempt and she didn't care about his actions at all.
"Anyway, even if you were to kill me with a gun, I must say that my husband is really handsome and he's way more attractive than you!"
However, Xander's eyes flickered in anger after hearing her words.
Was this woman a fool or was she really insane?
He believed that all women would be afraid of terrorists!
"You, come out!"
Xander directly called out a woman and she was so scared that she screamed and begged for mercy.
"Please don't kill me! I beg you!"
The woman was so terrified that she cried fiercely.
It was only now that Xander felt reassured.
That was right!
That was how a hostage should behave in front of
terrorists.
Then, he looked at Mango again and he saw her giving him a disdainful glare before she turned to look at the surveillance screen once again with a happy smile.
"My husband is so handsome even when he's driving."
At that moment, Xander's head was throbbing in pain.
"Turn off the surveillance monitor!"
"Uh... Sir, you won't be able to track Nathaniel's position if we turn it off..."
The subordinate said gingerly.
Then, Xander gave him a slap.
"Are you stupid? Can't you go out and monitor him if the screen is off?"
"Yes, yes."
His subordinate was hit for no reason, but he quickly turned off the monitor and ran out.
Meanwhile, Mango was somewhat disappointed as she could no longer see Nathaniel.
"Can I go out and wait for my husband?"
"No! You stay here obediently!"
Xander had a headache.
Mango was totally a fool!
How could she fangirl over Nathaniel under such circumstances?
Was it necessary for her to display her affection publicly when they already had children?
Mango was probably just teasing Xander since he didn't have a girlfriend!
At that moment, Xander was very depressed.
He felt that he had failed as a terrorist as he was so pissed off by a stupid woman that he kept stomping his foot.
Then, he glared fiercely at Mango before turning around to smoke a cigarette.
"Can you smoke outside?"
Mango choked and she started coughing.
Xander was smoking a handmade hookah, so the smell was really strong.
However, Xander said with a wicked smile, "I am a terrorist, do you think that I will listen to you?"
"That's true."
Mango nodded her head in a serious manner before she found a place to sit down.
When would Nathaniel come?
She really missed him at that moment.
On the other hand, Xander did not talk to Mango anymore after seeing that she went silent.
Soon, the sound of a car engine came from outside.
Xander's men hurried in to report it to him.
"Sir, Nathaniel is here."
At that instant, Mango stood up and walked out without hesitation, but Xander grabbed her collar directly.
"What are you doing?"
"Behave yourself as my hostage. Don't forget that your son is still in my hands."
Immediately, Xander took out an AK47 and pointed it at Mango's waist.
It was only now that Mango felt pain.
Her back!
She was indeed in a dire situation.
Then, Mango walked out of the hall with Xander's gun pressed against her.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked really dazzling and attractive under the sun as he was dressed in his military suit.
He leaned against the car and watched as Mango walked out. Immediately, he scanned his eyes across Mango's body as he was really worried. He let out a sigh of relief only when he saw that she wasn't injured.
"Honey!"
Mango smiled widely.
She called him sweetly as usual as if he had just come back from work. Nathaniel no longer felt exhausted at that moment.
It was surprising that she could still show her deep affection for him despite the current situation.
"Are you scared?"
Nathaniel spoke while his pleasantly deep and mellow voice was extremely alluring and comforting.
Mango was entirely indulged in his tenderness.
"Not at all! Do you know that I killed Lawrence and harmed Bernard's people? Aren't I incredible?"
Mango sought credit like a child.
"You're marvelous. My wife is the best."
"Xander, you just want me to pay for your sister's death, isn't it? I will let you end my life if you release my wife!"
However, Nathaniel's words caused Mango's heart to sink.
"Are you crazy? What am I going to do if you let him take your life? What about our children? I don't want to raise our kids all on my own as I'll be really tired... I'll marry someone on the day of your funeral if you let him kill you! At that time, we'll organize a wedding and funeral simultaneously and your children will be calling another man their dad. They will cry when they see you off but ask for gifts from their new father on the other hand, so you'd better think about it again."
At that moment, Mango's words made Nathaniel's blood boil.
She was really bold with her words.
"Mango, shut your mouth."
Nathaniel scolded her with a frown.
"Oh, Xander held me hostage now yet you are still yelling at me? Nathaniel, do you not love me anymore?"
Suddenly, Mango felt that she was wronged.
"Of course not, I'm just..."
"Nathaniel, don't forget that you hasn't fulfilled my wish yet!"
"What?"
"You promised me that you would wear a woman's clothes and confess to me on the street. How dare you yell at me now when you haven't even done it yet! Are you not going to fulfill your promise now that I'm held hostage by a terrorist?" At that moment, Mango's words made Nathaniel's mouth twitch.
Meanwhile, Xander was smoldering in anger.
Was Mango really his hostage?
Why did he feel like he had caused himself a big
trouble?
"Shut up! Do you hear me? From now on, you are not allowed to speak!"
Xander demanded at the top of his voice and Mango began to feel pain as his gun was pressing against her head.
"You're so noisy!"
Suddenly, Mango turned around and a needle slipped out of her sleeve at that instant.
Xander was frowning when she stabbed his neck with the needle.
Nathaniel saw this and he immediately waved his hand to signal his people to take action.
In an instant, a bunch of people came out from all directions and they surrounded Xander's men.
Xander's body swayed unstably as he was really aggrieved and he wanted to shoot at Mango. However, Mango kicked him away with a swift movement.
"You're incredibly noisy! Just get some sleep. I'm so exhausted and thirsty after talking to you for so long to let you put down your guard. I'll really go crazy if you don't shut up!"
Mango shoved Xander away with her leg.
Xander's men struggled as they attempted to catch Xander, but the bunch of people who came in from outside immediately attacked them.
So, Xander's subordinates could only fight back for self-protection.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel held Mango tightly in his arms with a swift movement.
He was slightly trembled and his voice was hoarse.
"Mango, I'll really need to punish you... How can you put yourself in danger just to expose the malefactor at such a dangerous place? Also, our mission is really risky, are you crazy? Do you know how worried I am?"
Just as Nathaniel finished speaking, Mango tiptoed and wrapped her arms around his neck before pressing her warm lips against his slightly icy lips in an instant.
