Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1235 A Carefully Laid Out Plan

Coincidentally, Crayson was also looking at Veronica, his murky eyes deep and mysterious.

She quickly averted her gaze and glared at Mateo. "Master Crayson is right. You should focus on protecting yourself with those mediocre skills of yours."

Although she said so, Mateo's words echoed in her mind. "He refuses to let me protect you and says that Iron Pillar will do everything to keep you safe."

Crayson usually kept a low profile and rarely exaggerated when he spoke, so these words sent her into deep thought.

"Veronica, when you went to the palace today, did they mention the hidden clan's hunting banquet to you?" Hayley, who had arrived in the morning and had been waiting for Veronica, couldn't help but ask when she saw her return.

"Yes," Veronica answered readily and smiled. "They asked me to participate in some hunting ceremony, but I'm not interested, so I declined."

This time, Veronica had no choice but to attend the hunting banquet, but she wanted to see how Hayley would convince her.

"You declined?"

Hayley was surprised and glanced at Crayson, then quickly said, "This hunting ceremony is a grand event that takes place once every ten years. The participants are all prominent figures of the hidden clan. Tanya invited me and your master to participate in the ceremony and said that I could bring you along and publicly reveal your identity. This is a great opportunity to reveal your identity. Why did you refuse?"

"Oh. I only need to attend the hunting event, not actually participate in the hunt, right?" Veronica pretended to be confused. "That's fine, then. I'll attend without hunting."

"Well..."

Hayley was at a loss for words after Veronica stopped her from saying what she wanted, and she looked to Crayson for help, gesturing for him to speak.

Crayson held a cigarette in his hand and took a few puffs. "If you attend the event, you will definitely have to participate in the hunt. Not only that, but you also have to excel in it. You may not know this, but although it's a hunting event, it also tests the abilities of the leader of the hidden clan. The leaders of the hidden clan in the past have all shone in the hunting event, proving their own abilities and gaining the trust of others."

"Yes, in the hidden clan, strength is respected." Hayley sighed, her brows furrowed with anxiety.

Mateo, who was sitting beside her, sat up straight, his anxious gaze fixed on Veronica. "Doesn't that mean Roni will be in danger? Eleanor and her elite soldiers want to get rid of her. It would be easy for them to do so during the hunting event."
