Chapter 717

Ever since arriving at the hidden clan, she had only ever been around the busiest parts of downtown,

so she had to admit she was blind and ignorant.

Right then, she was reeling in utter shock, unable to come to herself.

"The gap between the rich and the poor in the hidden clan is drastic; the rich are loaded with money,

while the poor can barely even feed themselves, and this is the result of Ledger's usurper. It's all peace

and prosperity in the vibrant city center because those people live their best lives in the rich

neighborhood by trampling all over these people." Mateo fixed his gaze on the slum not far away with a

tense face while locking his fingers on the steering wheel. It was evident he was livid.

Right then, he was completely different from the young man he was a few hours ago. Even his aura

had frosted over.

"Why would my grandfather wait for decades just for vengeance? He bore the humiliation just for these

people with a bleak future. He simply hoped that he could do something to save them from this misery.

As the head of the hidden clan, Tanya is tyrannical and ruthless, and she drains the people of their

money, but they are powerless despite having long been discontent with her ruling. The rich are using

the least amount of money to enslave the people in the slum, but none of them ever experienced their

misery. So we've been waiting..."

He paused at that, drifting his aching gaze on Veronica before continuing, "We've been waiting until

you're old enough to claim the throne. The people of the hidden clan hold fast to a conventional notion

—they will only stand for the descendent of the true head of the clan."

It was why they kept waiting, only bringing Veronica back when she was old enough to claim her place

as the head of the clan and gain everyone's support to overthrow the current rulers.

"Grandpa shouldered all the responsibility in hopes that the people can really live a happy, peaceful life

free of poverty, and not this heart wrenching scene we're looking at." Mateo locked his brows into a

deep furrow as he boomed. "I also hope that no one will have to suffer like this."

Veronica fell silent at this point, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Veronica had been living a sweet life under Destor's protection in this peaceful era. As such, how could

she possibly know there were still people in this world who had to worry about their next meal or if they

had a place to seek shelter?!

Mateo didn't take Veronica into the slum as it was chaotic inside, and he was worried that danger would

befall her.

Veronica had been super silent on their way back, looking out the window the entire time. Her mind

was burdened as if a boulder was crushing it and suffocating her.

She was no saint, and she knew that well. How could she save them when she could barely save

herself?! However, for some reason, a voice seemed to be calling her from the depths of her heart,

urging her.

Veronica remained silent even after returning to the bamboo house, and she decided to watch some

TV after dinner. Alas, they were all local channels, and she had no idea what they were talking about.

At that, she turned her computer on. Though she could change the websites to Spanish, all that was

available was the hidden clan's local news, and it was impossible to be directly translated into Spanish,

so it was the same thing with the TV as well.

There was no difference between having wi-fi or not.

Knock, knock, knock... Just then,Mateo knocked on the door. "Roni, are you asleep?"

"What's up?"

How could she fall asleep when it was only 8.00PM?! Hell, she even wanted to wander around in the

market and experience the customs here. Well, ¡should take things as they come, as they say. Since

she couldn't leave anytime soon, she had no reason to get worked up either.

"Grandpa wants me to ask you something."

"Oh." She got up and opened the door. "What is it?"

"Grandpa instructed me to teach you the hidden clan dialect, and it'll be some time before you can

master it. As such, he wants me to ask you if you want to stay here or move somewhere quieter."
