The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2053

In the end, this wasn’t Weston, and he wasn’t some superhero obligated to save the world. With that in mind, Gerald reminded himself that he didn’t need to meddle in their business and land himself in unnecessary trouble…

Shortly after he had entered the supermarket, however, Gerald ended up freezing again. Thinking back, his Herculean Primordial Spirit would only react to dangerous fights between cultivators. With that in mind, this wasn’t a normal fight at all…!

Realizing that, Gerald then walked to the counter and said, “A pack of cigarettes. And make it snappy.”

After paying for his purchase, he then walked over to where the fight was happening. If there really were cultivators staying nearby, it would do him good to silently assess the situation, with emphasis on the ‘silently’. Until he knew who he was dealing with, Gerald preferred remaining hidden…

Whatever the case was, Gerald stuck close to the wall as he made his way down the small, dark alley between the supermarket and hotel. Contrary to the hotel’s luxurious-looking front, construction waste lay everywhere behind it.

Regardless, the more he inched his way to the back, the more motion—from the fight—he could feel. Still, now that he was much closer, he couldn’t help but feel that these people weren’t exactly cultivators. That, however, didn’t mean that they were weak.

Either way, once he got to a corner, Gerald slowly peeked out… and from where he stood, he was able to see a man and woman fighting amongst the construction waste. From what he could tell, the man had the upper hand, and the woman wasn’t going to be able to last much longer…

Still, since they weren’t cultivators, he didn’t feel the need to get himself involved in the fight. With that in mind, he lit another cigarette, prepared to return to his hotel after watching for a while longer…

Following a soft, ‘thud,’ the woman was prompted to open her eyes… and standing before her, was a man who had successfully deflected the attack!

Though she was confused, she snapped out of it when the man—that she had been fighting—frowned before growling, “Who the hell are you? Why are you meddling in our affairs?”

Ignoring him, Gerald simply spread his arms out before glancing at the woman and saying, “Stay behind me.”
