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.
