The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1724

“Heh! But of course! Still, you really do have immense foresight, Master Hughes… Everything happened just as you’ve predicted!”

“Hah! It was Tiger who first betrayed me, so he only has himself to blame for me being unkind! I’ll definitely take over the Hulkeroic Union by the end of all this!” sneered Old Hughes as he smiled smugly, his eyes filled with determination.

“Indeed! Speaking of which, what about Gerald and the others? Do you need me to finish them off?” asked the shadowy figure.

Raising his palm, Old Hughes then said, “Leave them be for now. After all, Gerald and his party are still useful to us. Besides, since the Fishgut Sword is now in his hands, we should at least wait for him to kill Tiger for us first before anything else.”

“As you wish, Master Hughes!” replied the shadowy figure with a respectful nod…

Naturally, Gerald had no idea that the shadowy figure and Old Hughes were in cahoots…

Regardless, both Gerald and Juno soon arrived at the Zorn family’s residence. By that point, the sun was already high in the sky…

Upon stepping into Nori’s home, Gerald instantly called out for his friends.

Though all four of them had been sleeping in the same room—in sitting positions—at that moment, upon hearing Gerald’s voice, the group instantly jolted awake and dashed toward his voice.

The second they saw him, Nori and Ray were so ecstatic that they immediately ran over to him. Before Gerald could even react, the two were already hugging onto him tightly!

“You… You really scared me half to death, Gerald…! I thought I wasn’t going to be able to see you again…!” cried out Nori as she patted Gerald’s back in her excitement and joy.

Naturally, Gerald was left utterly flabbergasted. To think that Nori would be this proactive!

Even the others were shocked, but they soon found themselves giggling like schoolchildren.

Whatever the case was, now that Gerald was finally back, Juno could finally breathe easy. Everything was going to be fine as long as Gerald was safe…

“…Humph! So, you still know how to return, huh? And here I thought you had died somewhere alone!” grumbled Nori as she glared at Gerald.

Scratching the back of his head slightly awkwardly, Gerald simply smiled back at her before replying, “…Well… I guess I’m just a lucky guy!”
