The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2330

Either way, Gerald wasn’t interested in those things at all. In fact, he wasn’t even planning to shop anytime soon. His priority was to investigate a bit more on what had taken place last night. Thankfully, nobody seemed to be talking about his encounter with that old man. Though that was relieving to hear, Gerald knew that he still needed to look for that old woman. He, for one, believed that she wasn’t as simple as she appeared, and that he’d probably uncover most of the island’s secrets the second he got her to talk…

Regardless, upon reaching the area where stalls were becoming increasingly sparse, Gerald turned to look at Aiden before saying, “Let’s head back.”

“Yeah… Honestly, this isn’t as lively as I imagined it to be…” muttered Aiden in a slightly disappointed tone.

“You’re getting auctions and parties mixed up… Speaking of the auction, I wonder if there’ll be any good stuff there tomorrow…” replied Gerald with a chuckle as he turned around… only to notice a young man in gray staring at him from within the crowd.

Upon realizing that Gerald was looking in his direction, the man instantly lowered his gaze.

Gerald himself knew that the garments the person was wearing were similar to what the old man had worn last night. While he knew for a fact that this wasn’t the same person who had attacked him, it still meant that the auction’s organizer had already been keeping an eye on him. With that in mind, Gerald frowned slightly as he said, “…Aiden, you head back first. There’s something I need to take care of.”

Hearing the change in Gerald’s tone, Aiden was prompted to ask, “…Is something the matter?”

“I’ll tell you later, just head back first,” ordered Gerald, simply worried that the man in gray had been instructed—by the old man—to assassinate him. With that in mind, he didn’t want Aiden accidentally getting hurt if he stayed behind. Gerald was already prepared to settle things alone anyway.
