The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1824

While Rey could tell that something was off about the innkeeper, he simply couldn’t pinpoint what it was, and quite frankly, that was driving him insane.

Shaking his head in response, Gerald then replied, “While I’m not too sure where he’s bad or not, I’m at least certain that there’s a problem with him. After all, I saw him constantly looking around our room earlier, almost as though he was searching for something. My guess is that he must have some secret here!”

What more, the fact that the innkeeper had told them not to leave their rooms tonight only served to make them more suspicious of him. With that in mind, the curious duo was now keen on unraveling his true nature tonight!

“…Let’s head to Miss Zorn’s room for the moment!” said Gerald.

Rey was thinking the same thing, and with that, both of them then walked out and began knocking on the door opposite of theirs…

“Who is it…?” asked Juno in a similar fashion to how Gerald had asked earlier. It was a clear sign that she was being vigilant as well.

“It’s Gerald!” replied the youth as Juno opened the door a few seconds later.

Seeing that Rey was there as well, Juno was prompted to ask, “Is… something the matter…?”

“Let’s talk inside,” replied Gerald as he and Rey entered her room, only to see that Yrsa herself had been watching television on the bed.

Once she locked the door behind them, Juno then got straight to the point as she asked, “So… What happened?”

“Essentially, both Rey and I feel that the innkeeper is a little off. With that in mind, we’d like you two to come sleep in our room later. We’ll just leave this room empty for the night,” said Gerald.

“I’m assuming you’re trying to use our current room as bait to test the innkeeper for foul play…?” asked Juno who was quick to catch on.
