The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2052

“…Huh? If that’s the case, what are we still waiting here for? Let’s go ask her about the Seadom tribe while we can! What’ll we do if she suddenly runs off?” asked Aiden in a slightly nervous tone.

“Calm yourself,” replied Gerald as he patted Aiden’s shoulder. He had already expected the boy to get anxious the second he heard about the news…

“What do you mean, ‘calm myself’? This may be our best shot of finding someone from the Seadom tribe! We can’t let her leave! If she does, what are we going to do? Extend our stay in Japan indefinitely?!” grumbled Aiden as he flopped onto the couch.

Watching as Aiden then lit one of his cigarettes and began puffing it, Gerald explained, “First off, since she’s in special forces, it’s evident that she’s here for the competition. With that in mind, she won’t be leaving anytime soon. Besides, the hotel has a record of her registration. Regardless, if we head there all willy-nilly, what makes you think we won’t end up scaring her? Forget calling for help from her tribesmen, she may even call the police!”

“Gerald’s right. I say we slowly get to know her first. That way, we can prevent a situation where she feels disgusted with us right off the bat. Regardless, we should only start asking about the Seadom tribe when we’re on friendlier terms. With any luck, we’ll finally be able to learn more about Yearning Island then…” added Master Ghost.

“My thoughts exactly,” replied Gerald as he nodded in agreement.

“…So… We just wait here for now…?” muttered Aiden. Though he now got where they were coming from, he couldn’t help but feel that they were simply procrastinating.

Shrugging, Gerald then said, “We wait for an opportunity to present itself. If she really does leave before we get a chance to talk to her, we’ll just have to look for another way…”

“Now that would be a great pity…” replied Aiden with a sigh.
