The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1404

Hearing the giant snake say that, Gerald intensified his force, delivering more essential qi as he shouted, “I’m not letting you die like this…!”

“…Heh… To think that I’d actually be able to make a friend after so long… And such a caring one at that… Thank you…” muttered the now tiny orb of green as it slowly began floating higher…

Almost like fireflies taking flight in the night, the thought of the anaconda’s soul rose higher, and higher, until eventually, it scattered in a sea of glittering sparkles…

As the final sparkles faded, Gerald found himself clenching his fists tightly. While he had only met the giant anaconda once before this, it had previously helped him. What more, the snake had even sacrificed the thought of its soul just to warn him about that masked old man... By that point, Gerald had already considered the snake to be part of his family, and he had sworn that he would never let those by his side get hurt.

In the end, however, he was completely useless in that situation. The soul had completely disappeared, and there was nothing he could have done to prevent it from happening.

The fact that Gerald had even lost Liemis’s corpse only served to make him want to beat himself up badly. Quite honestly, he didn’t even feel like showing his face to anyone at the moment due to his immense guilt and shame.

“Worry not, I don’t blame you for any of this, Gerald… Maybe it’s just my fate, and with that in mind, please don’t feel guilty over this incident… Whatever the case is, we need to leave for the Crawford Manor, quickly. After all, since the tomb ended up just like how the Mackusion had predicted, I’m truly worried that your family will end up getting attacked as well!” said Zyla.

Hearing that, both Gerald and Peter’s gazes instantly turned anxious.

“Remember, the Mackusion had displayed a black light enshrouding the eerily silent ancient tomb back then… And the same atmosphere was present in the Crawford Manor that it showed us! With that in mind, we need to rush to your home right this instant, Gerald…!” added Zyla.

As Peter’s eyelids twitched, the worried Gerald knew that all she had just said was right. From what the snake had told him, the murderer knew him very well. With that in mind, it was safe to assume that the masked man also knew about his family…
