Chapter 698


    As Destiny noticed Crayson getting nervous, she was getting jittery for some reason too. She usually


    addressed him as ''Mr. Crayson'', but she called him Master out of nervousness.


    Especially when Veronica''s eyes zeroed in on her presently, her cold aura was sending chills to


    Destiny''s spine.


    "You—" She parted her lips, intending to say something, but nothing escaped through her mouth.


    "Since you''re awake, have something with us. I''ll exin everything to youter." Crayson did not wish


    to see Veronica getting livid. However, he had no choice but to abide by the n''s rules.


    She examined the seated people, who wore green, ck or checkered head scarfs. They had either


    silver earrings or silver neck rings on them as well. Mostly in blue, green, red, ck, and white, the


    cored shirts on them stretched into narrow sleeves and fit waists. There were even floral patterns


    embroidered on the edge of the pants.


    Those were distinguishing features of the hidden ns and they were simr to that of the Haians.

    Crayson and Destiny donned the traditional clothes too. Veronica, who was in a ck tracksuit,


    appeared inconspicuous as she stood right there.


    Their distinctive clothes were attractive and pretty to her, yet she


    felt something strange about it. It was as if she had traveled to another space, where she was


    unfamiliar with and repulsive of.


    Veronica riveted on the spot whereas the people spoke in their localnguage with Crayson. She could


    not understand a single thing and her passive stance made her worry.


    After they finished talking, a fair-skinned and gentle-looking man rose to his feet. He approached


    Veronica and introduced himself, "Hi. I''m Mateo Elrod. Nice to meet you."


    Mateo dressed in a blue-ck buttoned short that had short sleeves and the same ck pants as


    everyone else. Although he did not wear a headscarf, his delicate features stood out with those golden


    spectacles and he seemed like a gentleman.


    Most importantly, he was speaking in English! Since one should reserve their anger toward a person


    with a positive attitude, Veronica figured that it would be impolite to keep her sour face on since he took


    the initiative first.


    She shook his hand. "Hi, I''m Veronica."


    "Yup, I know that." He nodded. "Waylen Elrod is my grandfather. He has mentioned about you all these


    years."


    Then, he suddenly realized that she might not know who he was referring to, so he pointed at Crayson


    and exined, "Waylen is his real name."


    "He knows that you don''t understand ournguage, so I''ll be your interpreter in the future," he added.


    The unfamiliar ce, people, andnguage were weighing her shoulders down with an invisible weight.


    Her brows furrowed before smoothened as she nodded lightly. "Okay. Thanks in advance."


    Veronica needed an interpreter, otherwise, it would be difficult for her to roam around the hidden n.


    "Don''t sweat it. Let''s go and have some food." Mateo extended his arm and they sat down to enjoy the


    meal.


    "Veronica, allow me to introduce them to you. They work for your mother. He''s Aiden Elrod. This is


    Rory Finnegan, Shoy Finnegan, and Wren Ledger," Crayson introduced their names and identities.


    Later on, she found out that the people in the hidden n were named after the surname Ledger, Elrod,


    Finnegan, Beckett, and Monroe.
