The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2329

“What is?” asked Aiden as he stared in the same direction as Gerald was, not knowing what Gerald was looking for.

“…It’s nothing. Either way, back to the stroll,” replied Gerald as he shook his head. Until he got a better understanding of the situation, Gerald didn’t really want to tell Aiden about all this, fearing that he would trouble him. That way, if he needed that old woman’s help, Aiden wouldn’t be able to stop him.

Regardless, the second he stepped outside, Gerald saw that the streets were now packed with vendors. With so many people walking about, Gerald would’ve definitely assumed that this noisy place was a market had not known any better…

Leaning against Gerald, Aiden then muttered in an indifferent tone, “You know, despite there being so many stalls, they only extend to a few hundred meters up ahead. It really makes you wonder why they’d just decide to cram themselves in a concentrated area…”

“Maybe that’s as far as they’re allowed to go,” replied Gerald—who knew that that was probably the truth—though he simply played dumb.

Noticing the dried-up blood stains from before, Gerald simply shook his head before placing his arms against his back as he said, “Either way, let’s go take a look around.”

As the duo walked deeper into the crowd, two men wearing gray uniforms—who had been keeping watch over them from a distance—turned to look at each other. One of them was the old man who had nearly attacked Gerald the night before…

“Think he’s the one?” asked the old man as he straightened his neck, his eyes still on the duo.

“He should be. After all, young mistress said she met him here, and we haven’t seen anyone else—that fits her description of him—leaving the building all day,” replied the other man as he pointed at the wooden building that Gerald had just left from.
