They initially thought Matthew was dead, and no one expected him to still be alive. "What are your plans moving forward?" Crayson asked them about their plan. Since Matthew had revealed his identity, Crayson couldn't force him to stay in disguise.
"The hunting ceremony is around the corner. Tanya will be alerted by the revelation of your identity, and she will increase staffing to deal with Veronica. This isn't good."
"I have my plans for the hunting ceremony." Matthew had been holding onto Veronica's hand without letting it go. "However, I'll need to leave with Roni right now."
"Must you go look for Zac?" Crayson asked solemnly while puffing on his cigar.
"Yes." Matthew's reply was brief.
"Alright. Since both of you had discussed it, go ahead." Crayson waved at them. With that, the couple looked at each other before turning around and leaving.
Not long after they had left, Destiny sat in front of Crayson and asked, "Sir, why didn't you tell me when you'd already known about his identity earlier on?" From her tone, she seemed to blame him for hiding the information from her.
"You think that I've known about it from the start?" Crayson rolled his eyes at her. "Matthew isn't as simple as you think he is, and his disguise was so good that I couldn't even tell. If it weren't because I saw him climbing from the third floor into Veronica's room one floor down one night, I wouldn't have been able to guess his identity."
"Is that so?"
"Otherwise?" Crayson lifted the cup from the table and took a sip. "We had underestimated our enemy, especially you! You couldn't even recognize your subordinate, but you questioned me about it?"
