The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2325

Upon seeing Gerald being dragged off, the old man immediately stopped in his tracks. While he was pretty sure that the intruder’s savior was an old woman, her aura felt oddly familiar…

“…Was that the young mistress…?” muttered the old man to himself. Knowing how quirky the girl was, the man eventually decided to turn back, withdrawing his essential qi in the process.

His thought process was to first contact the young mistress’s family to confirm whether that was truly her. If it wasn’t, then he’d just resume hunting the boy down. While he wasn’t able to get a good look at Gerald’s face, nobody escaped his grasps!

Moving back to Gerald, it wasn’t long before he found himself back at the building he was staying in. Once inside, he quickly straightened his clothes before placing his palm and fist together as he respectfully said, “Thank you for saving me, senior!”

Had she not stepped in at the last moment, Gerald knew that he would’ve entered a world of trouble. Hell, even if he had managed to escape, he was pretty sure that he would’ve somehow ended up offending the auction’s organizer… And with the power they possessed, killing him would probably be as easy as squashing an ant…

“Told you not to wander about, didn’t I? Still, while I had expected you to end up offending a few people, I never would’ve imagined that you’d dare to head to that mountain!” muttered the old woman—who had hardly broken a sweat—as she sat on her folding stool again.

“I just got a bit curious… After all, I hadn’t been able to see the mountain till I was at least a kilometer from it! I never expected to get into trouble just for that…” muttered Gerald as he quivered slightly…

“Just go back to sleep. I’m pretty sure that old man wasn’t able to see your face, so you’re good. Besides, you’re not the first to wander into that area by mistake, so you don’t have to worry about your safety,” replied the old woman as she waved her hand.

“I will… Still, why did you save me earlier? After all, we’ve only met once and I even went against your advice!” muttered Gerald with a smile as he squatted before the woman. The fact that he wasn’t able to sense any murderous intent from her only served to increase his curiosity…
