The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1822

Lying on his stomach, Gerald—who was careful to be quiet as he did all this on the roof—then stared into the yard… Only to see that the bespectacled man was now standing right before Mario! How unexpected!

From the looks of it, they seemed to be discussing something important…

While their meeting was already astonishing enough, what happened next truly shocked Gerald.

Eyes widened, Gerald could only stare as Mario took a dagger from his jacket and stabbed the bespectacled man right in the chest! Mario seemed to have stabbed the man right in the heart too, since the bespectacled man died almost immediately after…

As the bespectacled man flopped lifelessly to the ground, Gerald saw that his eyes were wide open, an evident sign that he wasn’t able to die in peace…

Regardless, with the man now dead, Mario then wiped it clean with a cloth that he had brought along before sliding the dagger back into his jacket…

Following that, Mario then shouted toward the house, prompting two men to come out shortly after.

“Take care of the corpse!” ordered Mario as the two men quickly nodded before stuffing the now dead bespectacled man into a sack and carrying him away…

Of course, Gerald had witnessed all this. Truth be told, he hadn’t expected Mario to be such a ruthless person. To think that he would just murder his own client right after obtaining the money… What more, the crystal skull was now his to have again! How cruel!

After seeing all this take place, Gerald was prompted to think, ‘What is even wrong with the world today… How heartless… He’s already paid for the item, just let him have it! At the very least, you could have spared his life even if you took the item by force!’

Whatever the case was, Gerald felt lucky that he hadn’t bid on the crystal skull back when he was still in the black market. After all, who knows if he could’ve potentially ended up dying like the bespectacled man…

Either way, Gerald then shook his head before returning to his party.
