The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1766

“So what you’re saying is that the spiders will only attack those who touch the treasures?” asked Gerald.

Watching as Old Flint nodded, Gerald and his party were instantly shocked. To think that the spiders would actually select their prey…

Meanwhile, Lech and his remaining team members were being swallowed alive by the gigantic spiders! It was truly a gruesome sight…

Staring at Gerald—who was still standing by the door—the pitiful Lech who was getting devoured could only plead, “B-brother Crawford…! Please, save us…!”

“H-Help! Please…!” screamed the other agonized members of Lech’s team as well.

Even so, there was nothing that Gerald could do. All of them had taken the cursed treasures due to their immense greed. In other words, they had brought all this upon themselves. With that in mind, Gerald could only watch helplessly as they continued screaming and getting eaten…

Lech himself was torn clean in half before being tossed right into the abyss…

As for the rest of his team members, they were completely swallowed up by the smaller spiders, and all that was left of them now were puddles of blood…

It had barely even taken minutes for Lech and his group to be completely taken out…

Regardless, now that Lech and his men had been dealt with, the giant spiders then turned to eye Gerald and his party.

Feeling enlightened, Gerald then replied, “So what you’re saying is that the smell—that had originated from the treasure—ended up transferring onto Lech and his men after they touched them? And that the spiders only attack those who have the smell lingering around them? If that’s the case, everything makes sense now!”

As it turned out, the ‘curse’ was merely an overstatement. In the end, it was an explainable phenomenon that simply required a little more investigation…

Shaking his head, Old Flint then sighed before saying, “Still, they only have themselves to blame… Had they not been greedy enough to touch the treasure, the spiders wouldn’t have attacked them in the first place!”

As the saying went, you reap what you sow…

Whatever the case was, Gerald wasn’t interested in thinking any further about it anymore. Some things and people were simply destined to be ruined. While he wanted to say that Lech was simply unlucky, it was honestly not that much of a surprise that he ended up dying this way…
