As Destiny noticed Crayson getting nervous, she was getting jittery for some reason too. She usually addressed him as 'Mr. Crayson', but she called him Master out of nervousness.
Especially when Veronica's eyes zeroed in on her presently, her cold aura was sending chills to Destiny's spine.
"You—" She parted her lips, intending to say something, but nothing escaped through her mouth.
"Since you're awake, have something with us. I'll explain everything to you later." Crayson did not wish to see Veronica getting livid. However, he had no choice but to abide by the clan's rules.
She examined the seated people, who wore green, black or checkered head scarfs. They had either silver earrings or silver neck rings on them as well. Mostly in blue, green, red, black, and white, the collared shirts on them stretched into narrow sleeves and fit waists. There were even floral patterns embroidered on the edge of the pants.
Those were distinguishing features of the hidden clans and they were similar to that of the Haians.
Crayson and Destiny donned the traditional clothes too. Veronica, who was in a black tracksuit, appeared inconspicuous as she stood right there.
Their distinctive clothes were attractive and pretty to her, yet she felt something strange about it. It was as if she had traveled to another space, where she was unfamiliar with and repulsive of.
Veronica riveted on the spot whereas the people spoke in their local language with Crayson. She could not understand a single thing and her passive stance made her worry.
After they finished talking, a fair-skinned and gentle-looking man rose to his feet. He approached Veronica and introduced himself, "Hi. I'm Mateo Elrod. Nice to meet you."
Mateo dressed in a blue-black buttoned short that had short sleeves and the same black pants as everyone else. Although he did not wear a headscarf, his delicate features stood out with those golden spectacles and he seemed like a gentleman.
