The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1454

Almost everyone in the hall was now screaming in utter terror.

While the old men from before could almost feel their eyeballs popping out in their shock, the flabbergasted Perla herself was barely able to keep her mouth closed.

The scene happening before them now was truly difficult to swallow…!

“…A-amazing…!” stuttered Master Crawford as he fell feebly to the floor, now entirely drenched in sweat.

With a slight flick of Gerald’s wrist, the golden light disappeared and everything became peaceful again.

Turning to look at the compass, Gerald deduced that it was simply a simple magic artifact that, upon activating, was capable of displaying terrifying images.

While that was the case, since Master Crawford hadn’t trained his mind for it to be steady enough, he wasn’t able to use the compass to its full extent. Knowing that only increased Master Crawford’s humiliation.

Smiling subtly, Gerald then tossed the compass aside before looking at the master whose gaze had turned bleak by this point.

“Now then… Who exactly gave you the courage to deceive all these people?” declared Gerald.

As everyone in the hall quivered from Gerald’s authoritative voice, Master Crawford—who was clearly the recipient of Gerald’s question—dropped to his knees before replying, “P-please don’t be angry, master…! I was told to wait for a young man here… As for why I used my magic, it was because that same person who told me to wait ordered me to protect the Feng Shui of this place and continue burning incense here…!”

The second his sentence ended, several hissing sounds could be heard as multiple people in the hall drew in cold breaths.

“A young man? Do you have a name?” asked Gerald who already had a good guess of what was happening.

“G-Gerald Crawford! I was told to wait for that young man!” replied Master Crawford quickly.

“And who was it who told you to wait for him? Also, what’s your real name?”

“I-it was my great aunt! And I go by the name of Gus Linstone…!”

After hearing all that Gus had to say, everyone found themselves immensely shocked. However, their shock quickly turned into rage as they took turns glaring at Gus.

Following that, they then turned to respectfully look at Gerald who now looked more like a deity than anything.

Gerald, however, wasn’t going to waste any more time.
