The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1388

After Tristan came out of the room, Teagan immediately followed behind him. As an assistant who grew up with him, and as his substitute as well, Teagan asked boldly, "Sir Tristan, are you really planning on cutting off Mr. Ye's hand? Mrs. Ye will probably eat you."

"She’ll kill me!"

At the thought of Mango's feelings for Nathaniel, Tristan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

"By the way, don't call her Mrs. Ye in the future. She is my sister, so you should call her Lady Mango. Nathaniel should be called Sir Nathaniel."

Tristan felt awkward.

His younger sister lived at his place now, so why was she still being addressed as Mrs. Ye? From what he heard, she sounded like an outsider. Although the Acker family wouldn't feel comfortable at first, he just needed to give the orders and they would comply.

Teagan naturally did as he was told, but he said worriedly, "Sir Tristan, Priscilla may not know about your feelings for her. I don't think it will be effective to use Sir Nathaniel to threaten her in the long run. Why didn't you tell her that you didn't want her to go with you because you didn't want to make things difficult for her? That you're worried that Laborn will hurt her? What if she hates you even more by saying so vicious things?"

"Sh*t! The person I, Tristan Acker, likes, has to tolerate it even if she hates me. Anyway, she can't run from me ever again. Have you forgotten how she had tormented me back then?"

Tristan said as he frowned slightly, and complicated emotions flashed through his eyes.

Teagan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thinking of how Tristan used to be, he fell silent.

This person had always made sure that others would pay the price for hurting him, no matter how much time had passed. Fortunately, Priscilla still had a place in Tristan's heart. Otherwise, Teagan wouldn't dare to imagine what she would become now.

It was widely known that the young master of the Acker family was gentle and cultivated. However, only Teagan knew his true colors and that all that gentleness was just a disguise. Tristan was a devil in his bones.

Meanwhile, Mango and Nathaniel were stunned when they saw Tristan come out of the room without Priscilla.

"Tristan, where's Priscilla?"

"She shall stay behind. After all, she is still Laborn's daughter. When a conflict was to happen and Laborn was to use her as a shield, we would be in a very disadvantageous position. If we abandon her, it'll be inappropriate as she is still one of us, but if we were to interfere, we would be exposed. Besides, I don't plan on going in as the Acker family's assistant. Although the Acker family is not strong enough, it is still impossible for us to allow Laborn to make a fool out of us."

Tristan was really furious right now.

Nathaniel saw a killing intent in his eyes.

"Don't go up against Laborn directly. We want him to fight with Atlas. It's best if Atlas stands up to him personally. Atlas is the only one who has evidence of his crimes. Without evidence, Laborn can't be overthrown and our mission can't be completed."

Nathaniel's words made Tristan narrow his eyes slightly.

"What I should do now is to find Atlas and pledge my allegiance to him. The whole Angolla knows the reason why Laborn is giving me a hard time. If I support Atlas, I believe he will step up. When the time comes, the two brothers will inevitably fight, but it will take more time this way."

Tristan was smart, so he knew what Nathaniel was planning when he heard Nathaniel's words. However, he really didn't like to fight a long battle and wanted to end things straightforwardly.

It was his style to destroy what he didn't like immediately!

Nathaniel sighed softly and said, "We don't have a choice. After all, the world needs evidence. We are only a small country, and the Union Nations need to participate in the jurisdiction. At that time, we can't say whatever we want. We will need to show evidence."

"I got it. I'll take care of it. You and my sister can hide in the basement first. Laborn must not believe me entirely, so that's why he's searching from house to house. Although the Acker family has privileges, it is still part of standard procedures. I've already arranged everything. You two can go to the basement first, and I'll let you guys out later."

Tristan did not want to let them go through this, but the situation now did not allow him to care about things like this.

Nathaniel didn't mind, and Mango didn't object either.

"Tristan, be careful in the palace."

"I will."

When Tristan's eyes met Mango's, warmth finally appeared in his cold and uncaring eyes. He was about to touch Mango's head out of habit, but Nathaniel stopped him.

"She's married. Do I look dead to you?"

"What's wrong with that? She's still my sister!"

Then, Tristan hugged Mango boldly and smiled as he said, "I'll be going now."

"Alright."

Mango found it very amusing.

However, Nathaniel was so angry that his face had darkened, and when saw that Mango was still smiling, he couldn't help but become even more furious.

Then, he reached out to pull Mango directly into his embrace, carried her, and left.

Seeing Nathaniel's jealous look, Tristan felt much better.

"Fortunately, he is sincere to my sister. If he dares to have any other thoughts about Priscilla, I don't care what military rank he has now."

Teagan only listened without saying anything, but he already knew what his attitude towards Priscilla should be like in the future.

Therefore, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and try his best to change the topic with a smile. "Sir Tristan, you're worrying too much. I haven't seen your father in years, so I invited him over to catch up. Since Sir Tristan is so worried, you can just escort him home. How can I not let him go? It's nonsense to say that I'm holding him captive."

"Is that so? It had better be it, then."

Tristan did not buy it at all. For so many years, he knew that the man in front of him was his enemy. Laborn had forced his mother and hurt his birth father, and now his father had become this miserable. He wanted to kill Laborn and get his revenge, but he was a soldier. Not only was he carrying the hatred of his family, but the hatred of his country was on his shoulders too.

Now that he had to make a choice between the two, he could only let go of the hatred of his family first. Why should Tristan suppress his anger?

Laborn saw a trace of killing intent in Tristan's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.

When he saw this, his heart missed a beat.

That look actually reminded him of that woman, Magnolia!

The two's eyes were very similar, and they looked exactly the same when they glared at him like that. If Laborn hadn't known that Tristan was the child of the Acker family, he would really doubt that Tristan and Magnolia were related.

Thinking of this, Laborn felt a little complicated, and he didn't want to continue his act with Tristan anymore.

"Take your father away. I'm tired, so I won't see you off. But if you dare bring this many people here next time, don't blame me. Tristan, although you are talented, you should not cross the line. I am still your king, and you can't challenge me at will!"

After that, Laborn got up and left, with an angry look on his face.

Meanwhile, Arlo's clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and when he saw that Laborn had left, he grabbed Tristan's hand and whispered, "You scared me to death! You're so reckless! Aren't you afraid that Laborn will kill you?"

"Father, did he do anything to you?"

Tristan asked worriedly.

"No, he didn't have the chance to anyway. Let's go home."

Arlo had always felt very uncomfortable whenever he was here as he felt as if someone was watching him. He was afraid that Tristan would say something outrageous again, so he dragged him and left quickly.

Tristan saw Arlo's worry, so he didn't protest, and reached out to help Arlo up, while Teagan quickly stepped forward to hold Arlo's other arm.

When Arlo saw Teagan, he was slightly stunned and his entire body stiffened.

"You... you are..."
