The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1353

“Worry not, as long as you help me capture Gerald, I’ll definitely gain the ability to shuttle back and forth between earth and Jaellatra. With that, I’ll surely be able to turn your family into the most powerful force there without any issues! Besides, you already know about my background, don’t you? Hahaha! To think that Gerald would accidentally release me back then… This is surely god’s reward to me for remaining locked up for thousands of years!”

Turning around, Yreth looked at the piece of jade—that had previously been placed upright near the incense stand—as a black glow emanated from it. Not long after, the black glow began momentarily swirling in the air before finally forming the silhouette of a phantom-like humanoid!

Upon closer inspection, the phantom appeared to be a young man who had a hooked nose, and a pair of upward-slanting brows that laid above eyes that occasionally glinted evilly. Who would’ve imagined that this phantom-like humanoid—who had supposedly already existed for tens of thousands of years—would still retain the appearance of a young man!

“I’m going to be frank and tell you that I’m already regretting agreeing to collaborate with you in the first place, King of Judgment Portal… Then again, it was never a willing decision for me to work together with your group and get entangled within all this. Truth be told, I have a feeling that that decision is going to end up becoming the eventual cause of our family’s destruction! After all, just as I’ve told Yume, Gerald’s getting way too terrifying too quickly based on his rapid progress alone!” said Yreth, a series of complicated emotions currently reflected in her eyes.

“Despite me risking so much, you—of all people—should know that the situation is much different for you, King of Judgment Portal! After all, you currently just exist as the thought of the soul, and that means that you’re easily able to use the thought of the soul to control several people at the same time, not unlike your personal puppets! I, myself, am one of your puppets… Regardless, even if everything fails, you can simply continue to exist and eventually find another way to return to Jaellatra to continue being the young lord that you are. However, the Gunters aren’t nearly as capable as you are when it comes to retreating! In fact, I have a feeling that even dying with our entire bodies intact will be difficult when the time comes! Do you even grasp how much the Gunters are risking here?” added Yreth.

“Hahaha! You’re simply overthinking things! I have a feeling you’re only this terrified since I told you a bit too much about Gerald’s true identity… Truth be told, Gerald’s far from frightening at the moment. After all, in my eyes, he’s currently nothing more than an ant! Regardless, I trust you know that there’s no turning back for you anymore. Gerald already knows who you are, after all. With that in mind, all we can do now is continue going according to plan!”

“Besides, you were the one who lusted for longevity! Upon finding out about that, I simply promised to bring you and your family over to Jaellatra—where you’d even have your very own place there—in exchange for making a few sacrifices… Think about it, once you’re there, you’ll be able to continue staying alive for at least another thousand years… Isn’t that alone worth any amount of sacrifices…?” added the King of Judgment Portal with a laugh.

“It’s honestly the only reason why I haven’t backed down yet at this point! Worry not, for I’ve already made up my mind that I’ll personally step up and capture him when it is necessary for me to do so!” retorted Yreth, her voice now both cold and gloomy.

“I’m glad to hear it! You know, it was the Herculean Primordial Spirit’s eighth reincarnation back when Jaellatra was still in turmoil. In order to obtain the Herculean Primordial Spirit, I attempted to break through the gap and come all the way to earth. Little did I know that I had severely underestimated the power of the gap. Upon crossing over, I was immediately struck by lightning, and my entire being was reduced to ashes. Not only that, but the thought of my soul was also trapped by others! Ever since that day, I’ve been far away from my family… With that in mind, if anyone should be anxious, it’s me!”
