Back at the hidden clan, Liam arrived at the foot of the mountain and called Veronica, which successfully woke her up from her slumber in Matthew's embrace.
She picked up her phone and looked at the flashing chain of numbers and recognized it as Liam's phone number. They had just switched to a new phone yesterday, so besides him, no one else knew her contact number.
After answering the call, she glanced at Matthew and put it on speaker. "Hello?"
"Miss Murphy, where are you?" he asked.
Veronica observed her surroundings and still had no idea where she was, so she answered, "Something urgent came up, so I left home. Just send me the location of the place, and I'll head over to find you."
Having come all the way here to pick her up but missed her, Liam was displeased, but he did not show it and merely smiled. "Sure. I'll send you the location."
"Great. It's settled then."
After hanging up, she lazily leaned into Matthew's embrace while wrapping her arms around his waist, squinting her eyes. "They've all arrived. Is there going to be a huge change in the hidden clan?"
"We'll act according to the situation. There's nothing to be scared about," he comforted her.
Although his words sounded reassuring, Veronica still felt a little restless.
Following that, the two tidied up their appearance before starting the car and heading toward the location Liam had sent.
When they arrived at their destination, it was already half an hour after Liam's call. It was now 6.30PM and the sun was setting.
The place Liam had chosen for this campfire party was a lawn outside the hidden clan palace. There was a mountain and creek on the north side of the lawn, which created a beautiful scene. As it was almost dark, fireflies twinkled among the green grass, dazzling the air under the campfire's light.
