The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1449

Following that, matrix formations began enveloping everyone within the Gunter family, and anyone caught within them instantly felt a sense of looming death. Despite knowing that the Gunters were all feeling a cocktail of shock, fright, remorse, and anger, Gerald didn’t care.

If he didn’t kill them all today, they’d surely return as villains sooner or later. With that in mind, Gerald wasn’t going to be soft-hearted on them anymore.

Within seconds of being ensnared within the matrix formations that Gerald’s golden eye emitted, all the Gunters were reduced into nothing but fine dust.

Peter himself was honestly horrified beyond words. Gerald’s most recent change… How absolutely horrible…

A little while later—after rescuing Jasmine, Leo, and the others—Peter called Gerald over to the manor’s secret room. After Peter relayed what he had earlier learned from Yreth, Gerald found himself utterly shocked.

“So… You mean to say that grandpa isn’t dead, Second uncle…? Not only that, but he’s also the mysterious man who’s been monitoring me this entire time…?!”

“Indeed! I didn’t tell you about it at the time since I wasn’t certain about it yet… However, I now have confirmation that that truly seems to be the case!” replied Peter, a complicated expression on his face.

After hearing all that, Gerald recalled how familiar the mysterious man had felt when he had fought against him while Gerald was still in the past. Now that his uncle had clarified the situation, Gerald tried to remember more about that incident.

‘…That person’s gaze… In the end, there’s no mistaking that it was exceedingly similar to my grandpa’s… But… Doesn’t that signify that the mysterious man was grandpa? Was grandpa really the one who ruined my Dehlere Foundation…? While uncle did warn me to be mentally prepared for this revelation, I can’t help but feel doubtful about all this… After all, the grandpa I know has always been a loving person, especially to me… No matter how I look at it, I just don’t feel that he’s the kind of person who hides his identity and controls everything from behind the scenes…’

‘However… If he truly is the culprit, then the Dead Annies that he grew back at the Soul Palace explains quite a bit too… For one, he definitely didn’t grow the Dead Annies just to display them as a trophy garden!’

“…Even if that’s the case, I’d like to have a talk with grandpa about all this first when we finally meet again… Until then, I refuse to fully believe in all this!” said Gerald.

Nodding, Peter then replied, “But of course. We’ll just have to wait till we find him in order to clear things out. As for the other Crawford family… I’m going to begin investigating as soon as possible!”
