Such a method would lead to the little venomous insects’ death. So, it was only natural for Dominik to have realized it. With a heavy expression, he flicked the cigarette and said, ‘Keeping the venomous insects would only harm more people.”
That was the reason why he disposed of all the venomous insects when he left the secret room. “The only ones who can control the venomous insects would be those from the Elrods. People from Crayson’s family are either arrested or dead, so I suppose there aren’t many people left who could help you?” Dominik narrowed his eyes slightly with a tad bit of inquiry.
“Smart.” Matthew raised his head to look at Dominik before they broke into smiles. After that, Dominik produced a card and handed it to Matthew. “There is a total of 150 million inside. The account was opened in my name, so you should give it to her. Tell her that her big brother repents for his sins.”
“No problem. Matthew took the card. “I’m sorry about the venomous insects.” The venomous insects were unique to the hidden clan and Matthew couldn’t bear to see them being used to harm people either, but it was utterly selfish of him to deal with the insects in such a manner.
Dominik shook his head. “Only the head of the Elrods are able to control the venomous insects. Crayson, Hayley, and several elders of the hidden clan are all dead, so there’s no one who can control the insects. Whether we keep the insects or not makes no difference. You don’t have to apologize.”
Matthew grunted as he nodded. Then, he patted Dominik’s shoulder. “I believe that you’ll be able to bring the hidden clan to greater heights. If we are meant to meet again, we definitely will.”
The two of them exchanged a few more words before Matthew returned to Veronica’s side. Before they boarded the ship, Veronica approached Dominik. “I need your help with something.”
“Please speak up if you have something to say.” Dominik grinned at Veronica politely. “I really hope you can let Destiny go as well as Xavier, Antheena, Hendrey, and especially, Mateo. Please don’t find fault with Mateo anymore.” She sighed. “He has a good heart. and is different from those Elrods.”
“You two have a tacit understanding, huh.” Dominik glanced at Matthew before he turned to Veronica. “Matthew has already spoken to me just now. As for Xavier and the others, I’ll let them leave the hidden clan in a week’s time.”
In order not to expose Zac’s matter, he couldn’t allow them to return to Castron for the time being. Veronica glanced at Matthew with affection before turning back to Dominik. “Thank you. I suppose it’s farewell. Until we meet-no, let’s not meet each other again.”
“Haha, sure, came Dominik’s reply. Then, he beckoned to the person behind him who immediately stepped forward to hand at carved box made out of mahogany to Veronica. “Open this box when you have left.”
“Why the secrecy?” Veronica laughed. Dominik raised an eyebrow in a noncommital manner. “By the way, there’s something you should know,” he said as he suddenly remembered something. He fished an item out of his pocket and placed it in his palm while looking at her.
Veronica stared at the item in his hand. It was a jade pendant-a round one at that-with decorations engraved inside. The jade looked brand new, but there were bits of bloodstains on it. Veronica’s nose turned sour at that as her eyes reddened. “W-Why is this with you?”
She could not be any more familiar with the jade pendant. When she was a young girl, she would play with the jade pendant hanging around Crayson’s neck every time he carried her.
After being with him for so long, she was so familiar with the jade pendant that she could almost draw it with her eyes closed. She even knew that there was a slight scratch on the pendant.
