The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1612

Though the silhouette was extremely quick, Gerald was still able to see it through the corner of his eye… Realizing that they weren’t alone, Gerald had a gut feeling that the person or thing dashing about was up to no good.

Not wanting Jessica or his parents to know about the figure’s presence—and potentially get worried or scared—, Gerald then quickly said, “You know, it’s getting a bit late, wouldn’t you say? You should go ahead and get some rest first, sis!”

“I guess… Don’t stay up for too much longer yourself, Gerald!” replied Jessica as she smiled warmly before returning into the manor.

Once he was sure that she had entered, Gerald instantly leaped out of the manor and headed to the spot where he had last been able to sense the shadowy figure’s presence. Upon arriving at the spot, Gerald stopped in his tracts before activating his holy sense to scan the area…

After standing there in silence for a while, Gerald eventually looked up at the trees surrounding him before shouting, “Come out already! I know you’re close by!”

Almost immediately after, the rapid rustling of leaves could be heard as the silhouette from before dashed out from one of the trees!

Noticing that it was charging toward him with a blade that glinted coldly in the moonlight, Gerald instantly stepped aside to dodge the attack before attacking his assailant with his right palm!

By the end of it all, both of them managed to successfully launch their attacks, though neither of them got hurt…

“Who are you?” asked Gerald in a frigid tone.

“To think that someone at your age would be able to enter the Sage realm… What a promising future you show! Regardless, at the rate of how fast your strength is growing, I have little doubt that you’ll be able to destroy the Quantocks with ease!” replied the slightly surprised person in a rather devilish tone.
