Chapter 832 Plot of the Hidden Clan
“Of course. The hidden clan’s annual fall hunt is just around the corner. I’ve summoned all of you here so that I can invite you to participate in the fall hunt.”
The hidden clan had retained their tradition from the past. They would hold the annual Prayer Ceremony, as well as a hunt during spring and fall.
Most men in the wealthy families of the hidden clan had learned to fight since young. They were skilled at archery on horseback. Since the technology was progressing, both bows and guns were allowed in hunts.
When Eleanor had finished speaking, Dominik added, “The hunting festival will be held for five days, and the winner will be greatly rewarded.”
“It’s just a hunt, so why extend it to five days?” Hendrey expressed his confusion.
“The hunting grounds are located between Mount Manos and Mount Gazette. Since the land between the mountains is huge, this time round, the hunt tests speed and survival skills in the wild and self-preservation. Not counting the time allocated for the hunting festival, the hunt itself will take only four days. Also, the prey will be revealed on the morning of the festival, and whoever hunts the target and arrives at the finishing line first will be crowned the winner.”
Dominik explained the process briefly, then added, “If anyone can find the prey and return to camp within the first day, the game will end right then.”
When he finished speaking, the crowd exchanged glances and began whispering to each other.
Veronica looked at Matthew next to her, then said in a small voice, “According to what I know, the hidden clan’s hunts always ended within two or three days. Looks like the hunt this time isn’t as simple as it seems.”
Her thoughts echoed in the minds of everyone present.
Tiffany instantly panicked as she said quickly, “Hunts are reserved for skilled people, right? I’m just a weak woman, so I won’t be joining.”
The situation would be perfect for slipping in a murder or two. If she joined, she feared that her life would be at risk.
“What are you scared of? You have Hendrey protecting you, right?” Eleanor smiled as she said, “I have already signed up for everyone present. If Hendrey participates in the festivities alone, he can’t stay by your side to protect you, so it’ll be even more dangerous for you.”
