The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1855

Whatever the case was, Gerald simply nodded before walking out of the tower…

Upon exiting, he saw that Rey was taking a nap with his back leaning against the tower’s walls!

Squatting down, Gerald then patted Rey’s face a few times while saying, “Hey, I wasn’t in for that long… Are you seriously sleeping here?”

Quickly waking up, the shocked Rey couldn’t help but exclaim, “A-ah! Mr. Crawford! You’re finally out? I’ve been waiting for ages!”

“…Ages? I’m pretty sure I’ve been in there for half an hour at most,” replied Gerald as he raised a slight brow.

Then again, Rey wasn’t one to lie. Could the time in the tower move differently compared to the time in the outside world…? After all, as they said, ‘a day in heaven was equivalent to a year in the human world’. With that in mind, who’s to say that the tower didn’t function following those rules? While it wasn’t completely out of the question, it still seemed rather magical to Gerald.

“…Regardless, I’ve managed to obtain the passing permit, so let’s go!” added Gerald, not wanting to bother about something that trivial. After all, the more crucial thing to do now was to enter the Phantom City…

Soon after, the duo arrived at the city’s gates again, and upon showing the passing permit to the phantom officer, they were finally granted access into the place…

“…Say… What exactly did you have to do to obtain the passing permit, Mr. Crawford…?” asked Rey in a curious tone.
