The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1699

Regardless, after the lion was tamed, the rest of the night was rather quiet and uneventful. With that in mind, Gerald and the four others were well-rested by the time morning came.

Since the South Wastelands wasn’t exactly an area one could call safe, the group of five decided to set off as early as possible. Naturally, Gerald made sure to open the map first to find out where they were headed next before actually starting their journey.

Shortly after, he declared that they were headed to Dragonblood City next. With any luck, they’d be able to find the gem there…

There were many rumors surrounding the ancient Dragonblood City, the most famous one being about the existence of an ancient Blood Dragon within the city’s grounds. Within said dragon, was supposedly an object known as the Dragonblood Ball, and whoever managed to obtain the item was said to be able to gain the powers of the Blood Dragon.

While the tale was certainly compelling, Gerald wasn’t going there in search of the Dragonblood Ball. He was strictly going after the Scintillating Gem, which was why he showed little interest in obtaining the Dragonblood Ball.

Either way, Gerald and his group of friends finally arrived at Dragonblood City after walking the entire morning.

However, just as they were entering the city’s grounds, the group of five watched as several aggressive-looking people began riding their horses past the city’s gates! Had it not been for their quick reactions, they’d surely have ended up getting trampled by those horses!

Staring at the riders, each of them seemed to have immensely murderous auras which only served to amplify how demonic those people were. While terrifying, it certainly set up the premise that they weren’t ordinary people who could be trifled with.

Regardless, the fact that they had just barely avoided getting hurt prompted Zelig to scowl, “Who the hell were those brutes?!”

Upon hearing that question, Ray instantly replied, “They’re from the Hulkeroic Union!”

As everyone turned to look at Ray—unsure how he even knew about such a group—Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “The Hulkeroic Union…?”

As they were walking on, the group suddenly heard a woman screaming!

After exchanging glances with each other, all five of them then hurried over to the source of the sound…

By the time they got there, they witnessed four men dragging a young woman into an alleyway! Some of them had even begun tearing her clothes off! To think that such heinous activities would occur, even in broad daylight!

During times like these, someone needed to play the role of a white knight. Thankfully enough, Gerald was best at doing that.

With that, the group immediately charged into the alleyway together…
