Chapter 1220 Do You Find Him Familiar?
Two weeks later, the Hidden Clan.
In the morning, Veronica and Matthew were in the study, studying. After lunch, she told Crayson that
she was a little full and wanted to take a stroll down the mountain.
As usual, Matthew followed closely behind. Walking up the steps, Veronica lowered her voice and
asked, "What's the matter? Why do you want to bring me out secretly?"
According to the task list given to her by Crayson, she was supposed to start martial arts training at
three o'clock in the afternoon.
"You'll know soon enough." Matthew smiled mysteriously and led her down the mountain.
After passing through the bustling market and three streets, they finally arrived at a restaurant called
'One Piece Restaurant.'
Standing at the entrance of a teahouse, Veronica looked at the name on the sign and murmured, "One
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPiece Restaurant?" Then, she glanced at Matthew thoughtfully.
In Bloomstead, Matthew also owned a top-notch restaurant, One Piece Restaurant, and now, he had
brought her to another restaurant with the same name.
Did this guy open a branch in Hidden Clan without my knowing? she wondered.
The man pursed his lips and smiled. "Smart."
Although Veronica didn't ask any questions, they could understand what the other was thinking with
just a glance.
"So, this is why you asked me to come here."
With a knowing nod, she walked into the teahouse with great interest, carefully observing the style and
features of the building.
"This teahouse combines both tea and private dining with separate private rooms that integrate modern
and hidden clan design elements," Matthew explained, introducing the idea behind the teahouse to her
as they went upstairs. The teahouse had just opened, and although the decoration looked very new,
there were already quite a few guests.
Pleasantly surprised, she gave Matthew a thumbs up. "Impressive." Looks like I've underestimated his
influence.
To be able to open a teahouse in the bustling market of Hidden Clan in such a short time, every staff
member of the place must be reliable and trustworthy.
"I've bought this seven-story building," Matthew said casually, but this news shocked her once again.
At Hidden Clan, the buildings were all wooden lofts due to the characteristic architecture, so the
number of floors was limited, with the highest being only seven floors, and there were few buildings like
that.
However, Matthew had bought one of them just like that, and it would require at least dozens of staff
members to manage. Furthermore, they had to be his trusted staff.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow did he manage to do all of that? she wondered.
She followed him up to the seventh floor, where there was a half-floor attic on the rooftop. They climbed
up the ladder to the half-room attic on the top floor and stood on top, overlooking the vast Hidden Clan,
with the bustling city in full view.
Suddenly, Veronica understood the purpose of his buying this building.
Just as she was about to praise him, he pointed to a street beneath and said, "Do you see that man in
the blue suit? Do you find him familiar?"
Leaning forward slightly, she looked down the street and found the man in the blue suit somewhat
familiar. "Isn't that… Skyler? Wait. Why does the woman next to him look a little like Shirley?"
"You have good eyesight." Raising his hand, Matthew gently stroked her hair with a soft smile.
"Are they Skyler and Shirley? Why are they here?" Veronica frowned. "What's that guy, Skyler,
thinking? How could he bring Shirley here too!"
Veronica didn't deliberately hide her identity, so she wouldn't be mad if Shirley found out. Still, Hidden
Clan was too dangerous, and bringing Shirley here would undoubtedly throw her into a pit of fire.
"According to what Skyler said, Sofia's brother, Garrick, has been setting up Shirley, but she trusts him
too much. So, Skyler is worried and can only bring her along."
