The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1719

“Also… where are we…?” asked Gerald when he realized that they were inside some kind of cave.

Though the old man appeared ragged and sloppy, he knew for a fact that he wasn’t an ordinary person.

After a brief silence, the old man replied in a raspy voice, “…I’m just someone who lives in seclusion on this mountain.”

Upon hearing that, Gerald was slightly surprised. To think that someone would actually live in such a place!

“…May I know your name…?”

Raising a slight brow, Gerald then hurried over to the old man’s side…

Now standing beside Old Hughes, Gerald could only stare in amazement as he realized that there was a towering and somewhat translucent stone pillar before him… Stranger still was the fact that there seemed to be something within the pillar…
