CHAPTER 1289 ARRIVAL

Despite being aware of the dangers involved in the ceremony, Crayson had no choice but to send Veronica to participate.

After all, she would be competing for the position of the head of the clan. If she couldn't stand out in this ceremony, it would be difficult for her to gain the support of others in the future.

He sat on the chair with a serious expression and sighed. "You must win this event!"

With a determined look, he insisted in a commanding tone.

Veronica furrowed her brow slightly at those words. "What if I can't win?"

Bang!

Crayson angrily slammed the table, his face suddenly darkening. "Even if you can't win, you must win!"

The sudden table slam startled Veronica.

She wore an unhappy expression without saying another word.

Crayson continued to give some more instructions before they set off.

Destiny and Mateo also got into the car.

Mateo drove, while Destiny sat in the passenger seat. The other three sat in the back seat and drove to the venue of the ceremony.

It was a quiet journey.

Mateo, who was sulking because of Matthew, didn't speak to them.

Destiny and Crayson also remained silent.

Presumably, the hunting ceremony would entail many dangers. The two of them were too worried to be in the mood for conversation.

Veronica sat next to Matthew, holding hands out in the open. They occasionally glanced at each other but didn't say much.

Three hours later, they arrived at the venue of the hunting ceremony.

The parking lot at the venue was filled with hundreds of off-road vehicles. The colorful sight was comparable to an auto show.

Of course, many people arrived on horseback.

Not far away, there was a large horse stable where each horse was marked with its owner's number to distinguish whose horse it was.

A few people got out of the car, and as soon as they walked out of the parking lot, they saw Hayley, Randy, and Lamia.

Veronica had seen Randy and Lamia when she visited Hayley's house that day, but they hadn't met again after that.

Veronica almost forgot about Lamia.

"Hmph!"

As soon as Randy saw Veronica, he rolled his eyes at her and turned around to leave. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Lamia immediately called out, "Don't go, Randy. The terrain here is complicated. It's dangerous."

Hayley immediately instructed her, "Lamia, you should follow Randy today. Make sure he doesn't get lost."

"Got it, Aunt Hayley."

Lamia nodded and waved goodbye to Veronica and her group before she hurried to catch up with Randy.

"Veronica, this outfit suits you well."

Hayley looked at Veronica in a hidden clan dress. With a silver cap and silver tassels hanging around it, and a carved silver collar on her neck, she looked like a woman from the hidden clan.

It not only blended in perfectly but also seemed as though it was tailor-made for her, making it impossible to take one's eyes off her beauty.

"Yes."

Veronica responded with a casual hum and didn't bother to say more.

"I'll go up the mountain first,"

Mateo threw out and left immediately.

Since the ceremony would last for several days, their luggage was brought with them in the car. Someone would deliver it to the camp on the mountain.

People were constantly coming and going up and down the mountain.

Matthew resumed his identity as Iron Pillar and naturally kept a certain distance from Veronica.

Veronica and Matthew walked in front, Destiny walked in the middle, and Crayson and Hayley walked behind.

The bodyguards protecting Hayley were the last ones.

Noticing that Veronica and Matthew had walked far away, Hayley asked Crayson, "How are things?"

Their voices were kept so quiet they were only audible to the two of them.
