Chapter 1291 The Hunting Ceremony

Seeing Veronica approaching, Hayley took two steps forward and reached out her hand affectionately, saying softly, "Allow me to guide you there."

Today, she would publicly declare that Veronica was her biological daughter and the future heir of the hidden clan.

No one knew how long Hayley had been waiting for this moment and how much she had anticipated it.

"It's fine. I can walk on my own."

However, Veronica didn't like Hayley. She didn't want to hold hands with her, pretending to have a good mother-daughter relationship.

"Alright, let's go."

Hayley didn't insist either.

The group headed toward the venue of the hunting ceremony together.

Many people had come to attend the ceremony today, and the venue for the event had been artificially leveled, making it as large as a stadium.

Since the hunting ceremony was held annually, all the facilities here were well-equipped.

In the center of the venue was an open space surrounded by tables and chairs with reinforced umbrellas providing shade and shelter from the rain.

On the elevated platform of the venue were the Ledgers, and the officials, dignitaries, merchants, and other important figures of the hidden clan were arranged in order.

Meanwhile, behind the elevated platform was a huge screen that displayed everything happening on the platform.

The entire setup resembled a sports event.

Due to the significance of this event, Tanya would publicly announce Veronica's identity. Therefore, Hayley and Veronica were fortunate enough to sit on the stage.

After everyone entered, they were guided to their seats. Hayley and Veronica, on the other hand, were led to the stage and sat next to Liam. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The main seat on the stage was occupied by Eleanor, with her right-hand man on one side, followed by Dominik and the prince and princess whom Veronica had never met before. The last person was Liam, with Veronica, Hayley, and Randy sitting beside him.

"Psst!"

As soon as Veronica sat down, Liam whistled at her as if afraid that she didn't know he was there.

"Long time no see." He smilingly flirted with her.

"Yes, it's been quite a while. 72 whole hours, right?" Veronica nodded and replied seriously.

"Haha! Indeed. I miss you a lot after not seeing you for 72 hours,"

Liam teased.

Because Matthew was currently Iron Pillar, he sat in the middle of the left row with Crayson, Destiny, Mateo, and the others.

On the right side of the stage were Zac, Hendrey, Xavier, and others, followed by Crayson and Matthew. The rest were merchants from the hidden clan.

On the left side sat the high-ranking officials and their families from the hidden clan.

With a few drum beats, the ceremony officially began.

A host went up on stage and said a few words, followed by a speech from Tanya.

Using an official tone, she spoke at length, as it took a long time just to read the script.

Fortunately, today was a mild and breezy day without the scorching sun, making it especially refreshing.

Due to the hidden clan's unique geographical location, it was cool here. Even on a sunny day, the temperature would not exceed 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Just as Veronica was becoming bored, Tanya suddenly mentioned her name.

Applause erupted all around.

Amidst the enthusiastic applause, Veronica could still hear the buzzing of discussions.

Then, she saw Hayley stand up and give her a signal.

Veronica and Randy, who was beside Hayley, also stood up.

Hayley introduced herself with a microphone in hand. "It is all thanks to the gracious invitation of the leader that my daughter, Veronica Murphy, and Randy Larson have the honor of participating in this hunting ceremony."

The venue was crowded, so there were large speakers in place. Even though Hayley had an extremely gentle voice, it could still reach every corner, ensuring that everyone could hear her well.

However, as soon as her words fell, the surrounding area erupted into a commotion!
