The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1718

“You can’t! It’s too dangerous! Do remember that the Hulkeroic Union is actively searching for us now! With that in mind, you’ll surely get caught in no time if you go back to look for him!” replied Juno almost instantaneously.

“With all due respect, Miss Zorn, if he’s dead, then we won’t have the will to continue living anyway!” said Ray with a firm tone.

Before Juno could even reply, Ray and Nori had already bolted back, retracing their steps…

Seeing that, Juno could only sigh helplessly. Even so, she couldn’t deny that she was feeling slightly touched. Gerald truly had good and loyal friends…

Regardless, after searching for Gerald for a while, Ray and Nori eventually arrived at the cliff where Gerald leaped off from… And to their horror, they caught a glimpse of Gerald’s jade pendant lying on a stone nearby…!

Feeling her heart skip a beat, Nori remained silent for a moment before eventually feeling tears run down her cheeks…

“…No… It… It can’t be…!” mumbled Nori to herself as she quickly picked the jade pendant up before staring in disbelief at the abyss beneath them…

However, since the jade pendant was so close to the cliff, then Gerald…

Patting her on the shoulder, Ray then said, “Calm yourself, Nori. Gerald will be fine. Believe in him...”

It was difficult, but both of them managed to momentarily convince themselves that Gerald was still alive. With that, they waited patiently for him by the cliff…

However, as the hours passed by, it grew increasingly difficult to bear. Eventually, the duo shook their heads before finally leaving the cliffside, feeling utterly dejected…

Sometime later, an unconscious Gerald could be seen lying beside a black-robed and mysterious-looking old man… Protected from the elements by stone walls all around them, their faces were illuminated by a fire that the old man had started.

Not long after, Gerald slowly opened his eyes…

Upon realizing that he was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he quickly realized that he wasn’t alone.

Frowning slightly as he looked at the person sitting by the fire, he wondered who the old man was. Was he the one who had saved him…?

“…Who… are you…? Did you save me…?”
