The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1825

Slowly moving toward the door, Gerald then peeked through the peephole… and almost immediately after, his eyes widened when he realized that the innkeeper was standing right in front of Juno’s room!

Retrieving what appeared to be some kind of incense out from his pocket, Gerald watched as the innkeeper then lit it before placing it by Juno’s door… From the looks of it, he was doing so, so that the smoke would seep into her initial room…

With that done, Gerald quickly backed away when he realized that the innkeeper was now walking toward his room!

By this point, Juno and the others were wide awake.

After seeing Gerald’s reactions, Juno couldn’t help but whisper, “…What’s wrong, Gerald…?”

Cupping his hand over his mouth, Gerald then took a towel before cupping his mouth and nose with it.

Immediately understanding what Gerald was trying to relay, the others got their own towels and did the same as Gerald made sure to open the room’s window as well.

Soon enough, everyone watched as white smoke began seeping into the room through the bottom of the door… Had Gerald not opened the window, the room would’ve been filled with smoke in seconds!

Regardless, Gerald and Rey’s hunch had apparently been correct. The innkeeper really did have vile intentions… After all, why else would he do something this shady in the dead of night?

It was lucky that they suspected him. Otherwise, they would’ve surely gone fully unconscious by now…

Either way, Gerald peered through the peephole again after a short while to see if the innkeeper was still there.
