The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2029

Following that, the disciples of the Sacrasolis Palace walked out in pairs to begin guarding the fringes of the island. After yesterday’s events, Gerald had a feeling that Daryl was no longer simply testing him. From what Gerald could guess, more Crawford family members were definitely on their way to look for trouble…

While Gerald wasn’t afraid of them, he was worried that they would do bad things to the people around him, just like how Lindsay was captured by Terenzio back then. Gerald, for one, didn’t need something like that happening again…

At that moment, Aiden couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly is the main Crawford family up to…? If they really wanted to welcome you as Daryl’s grandson, then they should’ve just invited you back! On the contrary, if they wanted you gone, they could’ve just kicked you out! Why even go through the tedious process of testing your strength…?”

“Like I know…” replied Gerald as he shook his head with a wry smile.

While he didn’t know what Daryl was thinking, he knew better than to go against that old man’s words. After all, he didn’t want to put his parents and sister in unnecessary danger.

“Well, we can’t just remain here forever…” grumbled Aiden as he stretched.

“Let’s just wait and see what happens first. Besides, the more men he sends over, the higher our chances of learning more about the situation on Yearning Island. We’ll make our move once we know enough!” replied Gerald in a helpless tone.

“Honestly, you should be more worried about protecting Miss Lawrence. She’s your soulmate, is she not? Remember, had Gerald not stepped in in time, Miss Lawrence would most probably be dead by now,” said Master Ghost who had gotten much more familiar with Aiden. Now that they knew each other better, they no longer shared awkward silences, and even joked around at times.

Regardless, upon hearing that, Aiden immediately yelled, “S-she’s just my employer…!”

As if he’d choose to have such a brutal person as his girlfriend! If she was the last woman on the planet, he’d very much prefer staying single and living comfortably!
