The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2331

Feeling something cold against his neck, the man then looked down… and realized that there was a dagger against his throat!

“Care explaining why you’re following me?” asked Gerald as he squinted his eyes.

“Y-you’ve got it wrong, brother! I have no reason to follow you around!” replied the young man with a gulp as he smiled awkwardly while raising both his hands.

Upon hearing that, Gerald was slightly taken aback. After all, not only did the young man not choose to resist or threaten him, but he didn’t fluctuate his essential qi at all! Though he wasn’t expecting such a reaction, Gerald simply took a deep breath before replying, “…Is this because I trespassed to the forbidden area last night?”

“…Forbidden area?” asked the young man, utterly confused. After all, he had no idea that Gerald had headed to Mount Nimbus last night. All he had been told was that the boy possessed the Herculean Primordial Spirit and that he wasn’t allowed to leave the island…

Pointing toward Mount Nimbus’s direction, Gerald then said, “That huge mountain over there.”

When Gerald turned to look at where he was pointing, however, he quickly realized that the mountain had disappeared once more…

Now getting a fuller picture, the young man simply replied, “…You’ll learn more about it in the future.”

While Mount Nimbus was one of his family’s secret mountains, upon considering Gerald’s identity—and the fact that maybe the patriarch or young mistress would eventually explain things to him—, the young man chose not to straight out play dumb.

“…Elaborate,” said Gerald with a slight frown.

“B-before that… Could you move the dagger away from my throat…? A slip of your hand and my life will be over…! Believe me when I say that I have no intentions of stalking or fighting you…!” replied the man as he pointed at the dagger while chuckling nervously.

Knowing that the man really wasn’t planning to fight, Gerald then withdrew his dagger before saying, “…Tell me the whole story.”
