The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2056

“Speaking of which… you said that the person who attacked you was an enemy of your family?” asked Gerald, refusing to turn around in case she hadn’t fully dressed herself yet.

“Indeed… His family has consistently been hostile toward mine. I don’t even know how he managed to find out I was staying here, but he did and he immediately attempted to assassinate me…” replied Fujiko as she shook her head. Her family was clearly not expecting the attack either since they hadn’t warned her in advance…

Whatever the case was, upon realizing that Gerald was still facing away, she couldn’t help but laugh before saying, “I’m dressed now, so you can turn around…”

Hearing that, Gerald gave a sigh of relief as he finally turned to face her again…

“So… you came here to settle some affairs, you said… Pardon my assumption, but based on what I saw earlier, you seemed to be much stronger than that man who tried to kill me. With that in mind, could you be representing Weston for the competition…?” asked Fujiko as she stared at Gerald with dreamy eyes.

Though how they had met was rather cliché—with a heroic man like Gerald saving her, a damsel in distress, in the nick of time—Fujiko couldn’t help but adore every second of it.

“I see! Regardless, I think I should mention that by helping me, you’ve unfortunately offended the Hanyu family… They’re an organization of top assassins here, and I’m afraid they won’t be letting you off that easily…” muttered Fujiko, her worry clearly reflected in her eyes. After all, though she knew that Gerald was strong, no amount of strength could take on an entire family of world-famous assassins that had a history spanning hundreds of years… Hell, not even the Japanese military dared to mess with them…
