The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2345

Whatever the case was, though everyone had expected more exciting items to be on auction—since the beast-shaped cauldron was up for grabs that morning—, they ended up getting disappointed since only a few rare items were sold. While it was true that such rare items would’ve undoubtedly caused a stir among regular people, the attendees were cultivators from large families. In other words, the items that afternoon were pretty much garbage to them.

Either way, by the time the auction was over—and everyone began leaving—, it was already dark. While quite a few people had dispirited expressions on their faces, after sitting there for an entire day, everyone was so tired that they were more eager to return to get some rest…

Naturally, Gerald and his party walked among this crowd. As they were walking, however, Gerald couldn’t help but frown slightly. He, for one, could sense that someone was following him. Instead of turning around this time, however, he simply continued walking forward. After all, he hadn’t bought anything to garner an attack from enemies. With that in mind, the ones tailing him were most probably the organizer’s men. Yaacob was by his side too, so what else could he have done? Regardless, just like in the afternoon, they had a quick meal before returning to their living room…

Shortly after, Yaacob inched closer to Gerald, looking clearly hesitant. Seeing that, Gerald then got up before walking to his room, prompting Yaacob to follow after.

Sitting at the table by his bed, Gerald then lit a cigarette before calmly asking, “So, what is it?”

“…Well… I just got a message stating that my family wishes to discuss something important with you right now…” muttered Yaacob with a gulp, clearly worried that Gerald would refuse.

Puffing on his cigarette, Gerald simply nodded before saying, “Sure, lead the way.”

“…Huh? You’re… willing to just go like that…?” asked Yaacob who was caught off guard by the response.

“What, do I need to change into something fancier first?” replied Gerald with a chuckle.
