The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1846

After thinking about it for a while longer, Gerald declared, “…I choose to let fate decide!”

“…Oh? An unexpected answer! Care to explain why?” asked Torme.

“Well, essentially, not one person can truly decide the life or death of themselves or others. In the end, fate is the final decider. If it truly is a person’s time to meet their end, then there’s simply no stopping it. With that in mind, I have no right to choose the eventual destinies of these people! While it’s true that I’d love to have all the despicable villains die, I believe that they’ll eventually reap what they’ve sown!

Torme himself hadn’t budged from the spot, though he was now smiling as he praised, “As you’ve said, nobody can truly decide the life and death of themselves or others. I’m glad to hear that you’re not the kind of person to mercilessly kill others!”

While Gerald was surprised to know that he had passed the first test so easily, he quickly snapped out of it before politely replying, “I appreciate the compliment, sir!”

“Well said! Regardless, are you ready for your second test?” asked Torme.
