The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2319

It was half an hour later when the boats were finally anchored at the shore by a few men donning long robes. Upon disembarking, Lucian immediately displayed their tickets before saying, “The three of us are from the Grubb family in Yanam.”

“Right this way,” replied one of the men after taking a brief glance at the trio.
