The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Rita and Wisdom wore thin clothes and they realized it only when they left the house.

"Ah... It's so cold!"

Rita rubbed and warmed her little hands with her breath while her nose turned red because of the cold.

Then, Wisdom stopped her.

"Come on, let's get back and put on a coat."

"No, we'll be dead if daddy sees us as he will definitely not let us out, and it would be even worse if he knows that we are going to find Uncle Noah, so let's just go and well be there in a moment by taxi." Rita refused without a second thought.

Wisdom knew that Rita was a stubborn person and no one could persuade her otherwise if she had her heart set on something, so he took off his jacket and draped it over Rita's shoulders. "Wear it so that you don't catch a cold."

At that instant, Rita felt much warmer but she looked at Wisdom and asked with concern, "Wisdom, are you not cold?" "It's okay... I can bear it as I'm a man!" Wisdom said it with determination but he nevertheless trembled.

Then, the two of them left by Uber.

On the other hand, Nathaniel carried Mango back to their bedroom. He adjusted the room temperature before taking off his clothes and lying down beside Mango.

It didn't take long for the two of them fell asleep as they were extremely tired. At this time they had no idea that their two kids had left the house.

Soon, Newell brought Zion home after settling the issues, but he didn't see Rita and Wisdom anywhere. Nevertheless, he thought that Nathaniel would be the first to search for them if something really happened to the child since Nathaniel came home before him.

Zion went to the room to take a look and he left after seeing that Nathaniel and Mango were taking a rest.

"Maybe daddy and mommy sent them to Mateo's house."

Having said that, Zion went back to his room to study coding.

So, no one knew that the two children had gone out.

Rita kept on chattering to Wisdom after they entered the car while Wisdom just listened to her quietly as usual. He was studying the medical book in his hands as he was really upset that his learning speed was too slow. So, none of them realized that the driver had turned off the navigation and was no longer driving in the right direction.

It was only after a while that Rita raised her head suddenly as she realized that the route was rather unfamiliar, so she quickly nudged Wisdom.

"Wisdom, do you know where are we? This isn't the route to Uncle Noah's house if I'm not mistaken."

Wisdom looked up hurriedly and he realized that it was the wrong path.

"Sir, you're going the wrong way."

Wisdom voiced out at once.

However, the driver said with a sneer, "Really? That shouldn't be as this is the right route."

At that instant, Wisdom noticed that they were in danger.

He pulled Rita into his arms and whispered, "Call the police."

Rita paused for a moment but when she picked up her phone again, the driver snatched it away from her and threw it out of the window.

"Call the police? You are so cute... Why are you calling the police? Why not I play a game with you?"

The driver was around 40 years old yet he shamelessly suggested playing a game with them. His eyes were fixated on Rita as he spoke and Wisdom frowned he saw the driver's obscene expression. "What are you trying to do? Let me warn you, our parents are no ordinary people and you'd better think twice before harming us. Otherwise, our parents will make you suffer!"

Wisdom protected Rita behind him as he spoke and he tried his best to hide Rita away from the driver's sight.

The look in his eyes was horrible.

On the other hand, Rita leaned against Wisdom and she was extremely scared.

She saw Wisdom holding his phone in his hand and it seemed that the driver couldn't see it at this moment, so she hurriedly took over the phone before sending a message to Nathaniel. "Daddy, help! Someone wants to harm us!"

Wisdom booked the car on Uber, so Rita immediately sent Nathaniel the driver's car plate number before hiding the phone in Wisdom's boots.

She was scared to death after doing this.

On the other hand, the driver felt annoyed when he saw the determination in Wisdom's eyes.

"You brat, what are you looking at? Let me tell you, I can sell you to a kind family if you stay obedient, but I'll sell you to the poor villages and let you suffer for your whole life if you don't! Get out of my way and don't mess with my business."

The driver drove to a remote place as he spoke.

The car was locked and there was no way the two children could get out even if they wanted to run.

At that moment, Wisdom became really anxious.

He held Rita close to him and he said calmly although he was just a young boy, "Didn't you notice the type of clothing material that we're wearing? Or didn't you realize that you picked us up from a villa district? I'm not trying to scare you but you would totally ruin your career in Ocean City if you dare to harm us."

However, the driver sneered and said, "The CCTV near your place is under maintenance and no one knew that I picked you up... I guess that your parents don't know you came out too, isn't it? I can tell from how little this girl wore that both of you escaped the house on your own. If that's the case, surely no one would know what I did to you and I can just sell you somewhere else so that your parents can't find you. Brat, you'd better get out of my way as I'm not interested in you."

As the driver spoke, he reached his hand out all of a sudden as he wanted to grab Rita.

"Ah! Wisdom!"

Rita was so scared that she screamed.

Yet, the driver was very excited at that moment.

"Feel free to scream as no one would come to the suburbs and your shouts will never be heard no matter how hard you try. Rather, your yells truly excite me!"

The driver's eyes became increasingly lustful.

Wisdom's eyes narrowed at that instant.

He did not know what the driver wanted to do to Rita but he knew that the driver had ulterior motives.

"I'm warning you, you'd better not approach us, or else I'll not forgive you!"

Wisdom was young but he was full of vigor at this moment.

Even the driver was scared by him and he soon became angrier at the thought of being intimidated by a child.

"Fu*k, f*ck! I gave you a chance yet you didn't appreciate it? I won't go easy on you!"

The driver raised his hand and fanned towards

Wisdom.

However, Wisdom didn't move and he waited for the driver to act before he lifted his leg and kicked the driver's lower body with a swift movement.

"F*ck, you are so scheming!"

The driver quickly defended himself.

At this moment, Rita stood up all of a sudden and she stretched out her hands before poking directly at the driver's eyes.

"I'll poke you to death!"

Rita's strength wasn't great, but it was forceful enough to make the driver cover his eyes in pain as he leaned back subconsciously. Wisdom took the opportunity to open the car door and he pulled Rita out before they started running.

"Stinky brat, stupid lass, stop right there!"

The driver burst into tears.

He felt really embarrassed for being bullied by two kids and he would not be able to vent his anger if he couldn't catch them this day.

Good thing Rita had trained in the military camp for a few days and she was still able to keep up with Wisdom's pace although her strength wasn't as good as when she was young.

At that moment, she was extremely scared but also a little excited.

"Wisdom, I poked him in his eyes!"

"I saw it, you're awesome! Follow me quickly."

Wisdom observed the terrain and he realized that it was a forest in front, so it wasn't a good place to escape.

"Rita, let's head for the main road."

"All right."

Rita ran after Wisdom hastily.

However, the two of them were still kids after all and even though their physical agility improved because of the military training, they were still relatively slow. Soon, the driver caught up with them.

The driver first grabbed hold of Rita's collar and he pulled her forcefully before dragging her into his arms.

"B*tch, how dare you poke my eyes! I'll let you beg for death!"

The driver did not go after Wisdom and he held Rita in his arms as he ran toward the car.

Wisdom was stunned for a moment before realizing that the driver's main target was Rita, so he immediately ran back.

"Let go of my sister!"

Wisdom exerted his maximum strength at that moment and he threw himself to the driver madly

before bitting on his thigh hard.

"Ahh! It hurts! You brat!"

The driver stomped his foot on Wisdom's chest at that instant.

Wisdom felt nauseous at that instant, but he didn't dare to let go of his grasp nor bite as he saw Rita's fearful expression. He bit the driver mercilessly as he wanted the driver to let go of Rita.

"You're dead!"

The driver's eyes seemed murderous at that instant.

Then, Rita cried her eyes out!

"Wisdom, stop biting him! Don't hit my brother! No!"

Rita struggled but the driver turned a deaf ear to her as he stomped on Wisdom's chest repeatedly.

Blood seeped out from the corner of Wisdom's mouth and he didn't know whose blood was it, but he was reluctant to let go.

Rita's voice became hoarse from crying. She started scratching the driver's face mercilessly as she saw that the driver had no intention of stopping his cruel act.

"You bad guy! I'll scratch you to death! Who allowed you to hit my brother!"

Rita was enraged as she clawed the driver's face repeatedly with her sharp fingernails and the driver's face soon started bleeding.

"Ahhh!"

The driver was so angry that he directly shove Rita away.

However, there was a slope right beside them and Rita rolled down the slanted ground after the driver threw her out.

"Oh no! Rita!"

Wisdom almost had a heart attack.

Rita had gone through operations back then, so she didn't have good health and Wisdom was well aware of it. He couldn't imagine what would happen to Rita now since the driver pushed her down from such a high place.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Wisdom picked up a stone next to him and threw it at the driver crazily.

While ignoring the punch and kicks from the driver, he started to throw everything he picked up and applied the boxing skills that he learned from the military base. Finally, he managed to avoid the driver's attack and continued attacking the driver like a madman.

At that moment, Wisdom's eyes were red.

He couldn't hold back his strength at the thought

of what might happen to Rita.

The driver had the upper hand initially, but he eventually became afraid as Wisdom was attacking him unrelentingly.

"D*mn it! I'm really unlucky today!"

The driver kicked Wisdom and ran away.

He wanted to harm the kids but he got attacked by them instead.

On the other hand, Wisdom could barely take a breath because of the driver's kick, but he hastily ran toward the slop as he was really concerned about Rita. Suddenly, he lost his balance and collapsed to the ground but he could no longer get up no matter how hard he tried.

"Rita... Rita, don't be afraid. I'm coming..."

Wisdom couldn't stand up and he could only climb forward slowly as his blood stained the ground and formed a trail behind him. It was a really shocking scene.
