The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1351

With that in mind, Yume suddenly found herself growing extremely envious of the woman that Gerald had fallen for. Shaking the thought off, she then asked. “…So… You retrieved the woman in white just so Gerald would take the initiative to come look for us…?”

“Indeed. After all, that is by far the safest way to lure Gerald to us! With any luck, we’ll eventually be able to capture him! Regardless, I truly hadn’t expected that he would actually manage to flee from us so many times! I was already prepared to receive good news from Felton ages ago, but to think that he was successful in escaping again!”

“…Say, grandma… The Herculean Primordial Spirit… Is it hidden within his body…? Does that mean that once you capture him, you’ll have to harm or kill Gerald…?” asked Yume.

Shaking her head slightly, Yreth then replied, “As you’ve said, we only require the Herculean Primordial Spirit. Whether we kill him or not depends entirely on him!”

The second she heard that, Yume instantly knelt with a ‘thud’ before saying, “Please, grandma, I beg of you… Please don’t kill Gerald! Not only is he a good person, but since there’s no real reason to kill him, there’s no need for you to take his life then, right…?”

Pondering on Yume’s statement for quite a while, Yreth eventually said, “…I’ll be making the final decision on that. However, I can promise you that I’ll only kill him if he shows any resistance or tries to fight back! If he doesn’t, then I’ll keep him alive!”

Upon hearing that, Yume couldn’t help but feel like a heavy load had just been lifted off her heart. Looking at her overjoyed granddaughter, Yreth could only smile bitterly as she shook her head before saying, “Now hurry up and get to your feet already, silly granddaughter of mine!”
