"Don't worry, everything is according to plan."
Crayson kept both arms behind his back, and as he looked at Matthew's figure in the distance, he said, "He definitely won't get to leave this place alive."
Matthew was the largest obstacle preventing Veronica from staying on with the hidden clan.
Once this obstacle was removed, it would be a piece of cake to manipulate Veronica.
"Matthew's a very intelligent man and he's always on guard, so it would be quite difficult to execute the plan." Hayley was slightly worried.
"Yes, naturally, I'm aware of that."
Crayson was well aware of Matthew's capabilities, so to get rid of Matthew entirely, Crayson had several plots up his sleeves to ensure that Matthew would not get to leave this place in one piece.
Hayley knew that Crayson was a conscientious man, so she knew that he was not one to exaggerate. As such, she absolutely trusted his words.
After going up the mountain, they left to go to their respective tents.
The ceremony would start officially at eleven o'clock in the morning.
Veronica and Matthew remained in their tent and sat there for some time. Finally, Matthew indicated with his eyes, and then they walked outside together.
They strolled along the valley and were surrounded by people from the hidden clan.
Matthew walked over to stand next to Veronica with a frown on his face. "Are you afraid?"
"Yes, of course I'm afraid!"
At that moment, Veronica was engrossed in listening to the cuckoo bird chirp as she enjoyed the slight breeze. Suddenly, she said ruefully. "Well, it's death on the other side if we don't survive so I would be afraid of course."
She had too many things in life she cared about.
She cared about her career in Bloomstead, her elderly parents back in her hometown, and her two children. Most importantly, she also was quite concerned about Matthew, this guy who was deeply in love with her.
"You've got me by your side. I'll do everything I can to protect you." Matthew comforted Veronica.
