The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1770

Naturally, Nori, Juno, and Ray agreed to that without a second thought.

As they quickly gathered their things to prepare to leave, Ray couldn’t help but notice that Old Flint was still standing in the same corner, though he was now trembling for some reason…

Finding it slightly odd, Ray then called out, “Old Flint, we’re about to leave now!”

However, the second his sentence ended, Ray’s eyes widened when Old Flint turned back to glare at him, his eyes now fully crimson…

Shivering in fear, Ray then yelled, “Um, G-Gerald? Something’s wrong with Old Flint…!”

Hearing that, he turned to look at the old man and quickly found himself shocked to see Old Flint’s state as well.

“…Old Flint…? What’s wrong?” asked Gerald in a serious tone, his eyebrows furrowed.

Unfortunately for them, this wasn’t the Old Flint they used to know anymore. While his appearance remained the same, the red-eyed being before them was now nothing more than a blood-craving monster…

“Gerald, look at his throat! There’s a red glow there!” yelled Ray, prompting Gerald to focus his gaze there.

True to Ray’s observation, there really was a red glow there, and it was then when Gerald understood what was happening. Old Flint must have swallowed the vampiric pearl! As a result, he was now a bloodthirsty vampire!

With a bloodcurdling roar, everyone watched wide-eyed as blood dripped from the corners of Old Flint’s widened mouth… before the old man bolted for Gerald and his party!

Vampires loved consuming the fresh blood of the living the most… With that in mind, Gerald knew that Old Flint now saw him and his party as nothing more than a meal!

Understanding that, Gerald quickly rushed forward while yelling, “Get out! All of you! I’ll deal with him!”

In response, Gerald tossed out what seemed to be a ghostly chain as he yelled, “Soul Chain!”

The chain itself flew toward the old man before wrapping itself around Old Flint’s body! Now bound, Old Flint began thrashing around, desperately trying to free himself. With how violent the old man was, Gerald couldn’t help but think that had he used rope instead of the Soul Chain, Old Flint would’ve broken free by now…

Regardless, seeing that the old man was temporarily bound, Gerald wordlessly bolted toward Old Flint before poking at his throat!

And just like that, the vampiric pearl came flying right out of Old Flint’s mouth!

The second it was out, Old Flint appeared to calm down considerably, his eyes quickly returning to their initial color… As it turned out, the vampiric pearl truly was the culprit…

Whatever the case was, Old Flint soon regained his consciousness… Now sobered up, the first thing the old man asked was, “…What… What happened to me…?”
