Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband Chapter 887

Chapter 887 Crayson’s Preparations “It seems like things are scarier than we thought.” Skyler could not help the worry upon sensing the solemnity of the situation. “Does Roni know about this?”

Even if Matthew had been asking Skyler to refrain from addressing Veronica as Roni, it was hard to break a habit. Still, Matthew was not a forceful one. He shook his head as his glint grew dull. “I just can’t tell her.”

“The investigation mustn’t stop. Let’s tell her after we find out the truth,” Skyler suggested. Matthew saw eye to eye on that. Following that, the conversation continued around the plan for the hunting ceremony before Veronica and Matthew left.

Although the hunting ceremony was held twice annually, the ceremony this time round caught up with the 10th anniversary. In addition to the accession day of the head of the clan three days thereafter, this year’s hunting ceremony would be an exceptionally grandiose one.

Matthew followed Crayson’s order by putting on makeup, which perfectly covered his real face.

Matthew and Veronica put on the clan’s evening wear that Crayson prepared.

After dressing up, the couple headed downstairs to have their meal. Solemnity inflated in the air as they filled their stomach in silence.

Only after everyone finished their food did Crayson gaze at them. “Come with me. I have something to talk to you about.”

The couple tailed behind him to the study room abutted the bedroom. He took out a miniature translating device. “Veronica, you might need this. It’s been only a month since you started learning hidden tongue.”

Veronica looked at the device before glancing at Matthew. She then nodded. “Thanks.”

“And this.” Crayson placed a piece of wristwatch atop the table, pointing at it. “It looks like a watch, but there is a hidden compartment instead. When danger comes, press the key on both sides and it’ll shoot poison needles. There are six of them. It’s to keep you safe.”

The rare sight of his serious attitude made her feel grateful. “Okay.”

She picked the golden watch up. It was just an ordinary watch with a blue starry-colored dial plate. No one would ever expect it to be a weapon.

“Matthew, this watch is for you. They have the same design. Put them on. Don’t use it unless it’s necessary,” Crayson advised sternly. “Put them on right now.”

His sharp gaze watched them. The moment they wore the gadgets around their wrists, an ambiguous glint flashed across his eyes.

“And these two boxes of pills.” He set down a thumbnail-sized box on the table. It was round and flat.

“This is a secret remedy of the hidden clan. Take one capsule when you’re heavily injured. It’ll save you from death’s door. There are five each.”

He bent over, pushing the boxes to their front while repeating, “It’ll save your life. Do not ever lose them.”

“Thank you, Master Crayson,” thanked Matthew sincerely as he kept it. No matter what the reason behind this mission was, Crayson had gone beyond it by preparing those for them.

On the other hand, a jittery Veronica held the box. In the face of unforeseen dangers in the next few days, she did not know how much chance she had.

“This too.” Crayson drew out the drawer to fish out a map. “This is the map of Mount Manos and Mount Gazette. Take a picture and acquaint yourselves with the routes. There won’t be any signal in these mountains due to geographic reasons. Besides, it’s sketchy with all those beasts and venomous snakes. It’s not an exaggeration to say that there’s no safe spot in there.”
