The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2074

Realizing that Fujiko appeared to be in a daze, Gerald waved a hand in front of her as he asked, “What’s on your mind?”

Snapping out of it, Fujiko then took a deep breath before smiling tiredly as she replied, “I’m… just wondering what to do next… After all, if I just return like this, my father will surely scold me. What more, the Kanagawas are most probably not going to let me off that easily either… I’m expecting them to look for trouble with us in a day or two…”

“Don’t worry too much about it. If I’m daring enough to get you away from the Kanagawas, you can bet that I’m capable of taking care of the aftermath for you…” replied Gerald with a smile.

After staring at Gerald for a while, Fujiko suddenly said, “…Stop the car.”

It wasn’t as though she hadn’t been helped by others before, but Gerald had been consistently helping her whenever it mattered most. Truth be told, she didn’t even dare to imagine what would’ve happened to her if Gerald hadn’t been there to save her in the past few days…

“Well, let’s just say that helping others is a particularly impactful virtue in Weston. With that in mind, there was no way I was going to just let you get assassinated when I first met you behind that hotel. As for saving you from Kai, your father specifically told me to keep you safe, remember?” replied Gerald as he lit a cigarette…

Staring at him for a while longer, Fujiko then said, “…Is it really that simple…?”
