The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1494

Despite things not going as smooth as he had liked, Gerald wasn’t feeling too worried yet. Worst case scenario, Gerald would have to fight his way into the festival. Even with that in mind, however, Gerald still had a little confidence that things would work out in the end.

As he thought about his next move, Gerald—who had been sitting at the rear seat with his eyes closed—suddenly opened his eyes before ordering, “…Perla, stop the car!”

“…Huh? What’s wrong, master?” asked Perla, stunned.

Momentarily paying full attention to his surroundings, Gerald then replied, “…We’re being targeted by someone… And it seems that the person isn’t too far away from us!”

“What? Could Yaakov have sent people over to kill us? What a b*stard!” growled Perla.

“I doubt that. After all, the one tailing us has an extremely strong aura. I had made sure to observe any exceptional people I came across at the Waddys manor earlier, and as far as I could tell, I’m pretty sure that nobody there was exceptional enough to bear such a strong aura,” explained Gerald, still focusing on the surroundings.

“Then allow me to stay back and help you, sir!” said Julian.

“There’s no need for that. Just leave together with Perla. I’d like to see who this person is first,” replied Gerald.

Before either of them could even reply, both of them watched as Gerald’s body disappeared from the car!

The night was dark and Gerald dashed all the way to a riverside which doubled as a moat for Jenna City. Surrounded by dense forestry, Gerald listened intently to the gentle rustling of leaves above the many trees… Someone was running atop them to move above ground.

Despite knowing that and being able to see the slight depression of leaves when they were stepped on, Gerald wasn’t able to see the actual person at all. Not even their shadow.

All of a sudden, two distinct snaps were heard, and Gerald found himself tilting just in time to evade a leaf and a branch that came shooting out of nowhere!
