As they continued walking, they could still hear the sound from the training ground's loudspeaker.
Mount Manos and Mount Gazette were two huge mountains, and there was even a massive natural lagoon at Mount Gazette. The target of their hunt today happened to be active around Mount Gazette's lagoon. That meant they had to pass through Mount Manos before hiking up Mount Gazette.
Lowering her head to look at the time, Veronica saw that it was already 3.30PM.
Along the journey she shared with four other men, the only person she could trust was Xavier, so it would be a lie if she said she was not afraid.
Four hours later, the sky had turned dark, and rolls of thunder and booming lightning suddenly struck, followed by a thunderstorm.
"It seems like we can't move forward anymore. Let's set up a camp here." Liam beckoned Xavier and the limping man over. "Guys, come assist me. Zac's hurt, so he can't help."
"Sure." Xavier agreed while the limping man nodded. "Sure, Prince Liam."
Veronica was beside them, squatting down to rummage through her waterproof backpack. She was shocked when she suddenly heard the limping man's voice.
Ever since they left the training grounds that afternoon, this was the first time the man uttered a word. However, his voice sounded very familiar!
Frowning, she thought about it for a moment, but then a loud boom from the sky interrupted her thoughts, so she continued to look inside her bag for her tent.
After setting it up, she placed her bag inside before heading to help the others.
"Veronica, you go with Nelson to get some firewood," Liam ordered her while pointing at the limping man.
So, his name is Nelson.
"Sure." Without thinking much about it, she called out to Nelson, "Let's go."
Although they were deep in the woods with an abundance of pine needles on the ground, there were barely any branches that could be added to the fire.
Since the hidden clan was located in the tropics, all the trees here were thriving, which made it hard to catch fire. Therefore, they could only scour the place for firewood.
