The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1771

“…Don’t tell me… You don’t remember anything at all?” replied Gerald.

Shaking his head in his slight confusion, it truly appeared that he had no memory of what had just taken place.

“…Tell me, why did you swallow the vampiric pearl?” asked Gerald. After all, had the old man not swallowed it, he wouldn’t have entered that maddened state.

“I… What? I… swallowed it…?!” replied Old Flint, his eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Gerald.

“You did! After swallowing it, you turned into a madman and started attacking us!” explained Gerald.

After hearing everything that had happened from Gerald, Old Flint couldn’t help but look at the pearl—that was still on the ground—as he muttered in his bewilderment, “…I… The last thing I remember was you giving the pearl to me… I had no idea I did all that after that!”

Staring at the old man, Gerald had a feeling that he wasn’t lying. Call it a gut feeling, but Gerald chose to believe Old Flint’s point of view.

However, if Old Flint truly hadn’t been in control of himself when he started attacking, that clearly meant that the vampiric pearl was the source of the problem.

Still, if that was the case, why didn’t anything happen to Gerald when he touched the pearl earlier? What bizarre secrets lay behind all this…?

Whatever the case was, after thinking for a brief moment, Gerald told Ray to hand him a piece of cloth. Once he obtained it, Gerald then wrapped the pearl in it before slipping it into his bag.

It was better not to have such a terrifying item too close to him. Otherwise, who knew what would end up happening?

Either way, it wasn’t long after before Gerald and the others managed to find a way out of the vampires’ territory. However, now that they were finally free, the party of five didn’t descend the mountain. Instead, they went upward.

Soon enough, it began snowing rather heavily… It certainly didn’t help that the north wind was blowing so hard.
