Chapter 829 Making Fun of Matthew
“Pfft… Matt, your outfit is so over the top.” He just felt that Matthew’s outfit was an unbearable sight to
behold. Perhaps because Skyler was laughing without a care in the world, Veronica and Shirley began
to chuckle as well.
On the other hand, Matthew circled behind Skyler and delivered a slap to the latter’s head. “I suspect
that even Shirley is smarter than you. At least she knows what to say and what to keep quiet about.”
“Ouch, that hurt. I think I’m getting a concussion.” Skyler reached out and patted the back of his head.
“You guys in One Piece Restaurant are all family, so what are you scared of, anyway?”
“The walls might have ears.” With that, Matthew took a seat next to him. “Yes, that’s right. Iron is right.”
Shirley nodded enthusiastically, expressing her agreement.
Skyler reached up to cover his mouth with his hand, his shoulders shaking as he laughed. “Oh, man.
You could’ve picked so many names, but you went with Iron Pillar, hahaha… I have to tell everyone this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstory for ages when I get back to Bloomstead, hahaha…”
Matthew smiled in exasperation. “Of all Destiny’s subordinates, only a certain person called Iron Pillar
has exceptional cooking skills. I had no choice!”
Only by cooking could he get the closest to Veronica and subsequently move into Mountainside
Gardens without a hitch. Even if Crayson found a chef, he could get Veronica to fire the chef with
excuses like the taste was subpar or the food didn’t suit his tastebuds.
However, he didn’t expect Crayson to let Destiny look for a chef, and neither did he expect Destiny to
appoint him immediately.
Also, Iron Pillar rarely came into contact with Destiny, so that was why Matthew chose to impersonate
him. “To be honest… I also feel it’s a far cry from your usual aura, President Kings.” Shirley tried to
stifle a laugh as she spoke.
“Now that’s overdoing it! See, even Shirley dares to tease you now.” Veronica reached out and prodded
Shirley on the head. “You’re getting bolder now.”
“Haha, I was just joking.” Shirley chuckled sheepishly. “It’s okay.” Matthew didn’t mind it at all. Instead,
he pointed at the breakfast on the table. “Come, eat. I have something to talk to you guys about.”
Now that it was time for business, Skyler and Shirley immediately stopped smiling as they listened
carefully.
Matthew lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch. “I don’t have much time, so I’ll keep it brief. You and
Shirley aren’t familiar with the hidden clan, so don’t expose yourselves for now. You even have to learn
how to hide your identity, especially you, Shirley.” He looked at Shirley while frowning slightly.
“You cannot protect yourself, so always remember not to let anyone notice your existence. Skyler might
have to sneak out during the night with me, so don’t make a fuss if you can’t find him. If things come
down to it, you might even have to cover for him.”
Shirley bit her lip slightly as she looked at Matthew, half-understanding. She then looked at Skyler and
nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
“But you can’t get us to stay in all the time; it’ll be lonely,” Skyler complained. “I will prepare two
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcomputers for you with cracked games installed so that you have something to do in your free time.”
Matthew had already made the preparations. However, as much as he had planned for the unexpected,
he never thought that Skyler would bring Shirley to the hidden clan.
He was upset about it and even thought that Skyler had made the wrong decision. However, he didn’t
reprimand Skyler too much with Shirley around.
“When I’m free, I’ll teach you how to dress up. You can put on some disguises and go out for a walk; it’ll
be fine.” Veronica comforted Shirley, fearing that Shirley would be saddened.
“Haha, you’re the best, Veronica.” Shirley hugged Veronica’s arm while rubbing her head against
Veronica’s shoulder in an excellent mood.
After a few reminders to Matthew, Veronica left One Piece Restaurant and drove toward the palace.
After a half-hour drive and past a stretch of winding road, the car went up the hill and pulled up in the
parking lot.
