    Chapter 1010 Are Your Men Reliable


    As if she was a burden, she constantly needed Matthew''s help and even almost made him lose his life,


    all while she could give him nothing.


    "It''s gettingte. I should go now." Matthew grabbed her shoulders and softly, he noted, "There are still


    many things to be done. As for you, have courage in everything you do. I''m with you till the end." He


    revealed a tender smile. "I am your shield." Matthew raised his hand and caressed the top of her head,


    speaking with a pampering tone filled with love.


    "You be careful as well, Matt," Veronica reminded.


    "I will." He nodded. "I''m leaving now." With that, he loosened his grip on her, after which he turned


    around and walked to the balcony before hopping and vanishing into the night sky.


    Veronica stood before the window. As the light in the room was off, no outsider could see her, but from


    her side, she could see Matthew''s sturdy body fading away into the lightless dusk. With her hands


    clutching the rails, she ufortably furrowed her brows as immense worry surged in her heart.

    The ascension ceremony is in two days… Veronica knew that Matthew was only able toe to her at


    this moment because while Crayson was scheming with the Elrods to seize the head of the n''s


    position, they identally amodated the "heavily injured" Matthew, so he took the opportunity to


    get to her.


    The next day, due to the ascension ceremony of the hidden n, certain streets were closed as


    banners andnterns of the hidden n were hung at numerous ces, making the region seem


    extremely merry. Though, there was nothing but darkness concealed under the exuberant atmosphere.


    In the night, Dominik was having a secret meeting with Zac. Sitting opposite Zac, he stated with a stern


    face, "The Elrods will riot at the ascension ceremony tomorrow. We shall wait for them to take down


    Eleanor before going out and annihting them. The elders who protect me will alsoe to support


    me tomorrow." With a solemn gaze, he questioned, "How many elites do you have?"


    Holding a cigar in his mouth, Zac leaned back on the couch with a pondering scowl. "More than ten


    elites, but I have one deadeye."


    Hearing that, Dominik raised his head and looked at Zac''s proud eyes. "You even have a sniper?" He


    felt somewhat suspicious, but mostly happy.


    "Of course."


    "Splendid." Dominikughed as he ced a floor n on the table. "This is theyout for the ascension


    ceremony tomorrow. My mother will be right above here, with Eleanor seated beside her. I suggest that


    you ce your sniper over here. Once the Elrods go crazy tomorrow, have your sniper eliminate


    Eleanor right away, and the me will be pinned on the Elrods. After the feud of both parties settles


    down, I''ll go up with my men to wipe out the entire Elrod n. During the chaos, you must definitely


    have your men take down Veronica."


    Listening to Dominik''s n, Zac grew a little skeptical. "Are your men reliable though?"


    "Without a doubt." Dominik was confident.


    "Really?" Zac stood up and went to sit beside Dominik, putting his arm around his shoulders, his gaze


    fixed on his eyes. "What we''re about to do tomorrow is highly dangerous, and I might lose my life


    during the process. I believe some appreciation is due. Don''t you agree, Dominik?" He raised his


    brows, showing a knowing grin.


    Dominik was stunned for a second. Right after, his eyes flickered as he let out a chuckle. "As we


    previously agreed, once I secured the position of the head of the n, I will fulfill my part of the


    agreement and give you part of the mining rights. However, should you fail, not only will my men lose


    their lives, but I may lose mine along with yours as well."
