The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2055

The second the thought crossed his mind, Gerald quickly ran to the washroom to splash his face with water.

While he didn’t really want to undress her, this was a life-or-death situation. It had taken forever for him to find a member of the Seadom tribe, and since she had that special pendant, Gerald had a feeling that she had quite the status in her family as well.

With that in mind, if she ended up dying, Gerald knew that the chances of him finding another member of the Seadom tribe—with her rank—would surely be close to zero…

After thinking about it, Gerald sighed as he tried to calm himself. This wasn’t the time to be thinking of such earthly desires. With that, he walked out of the bathroom and carefully began undressing her…

It was around two hours later when Gerald completely healed her internal injuries with his Herculean Primordial Spirit. With that done, he quickly draped her with a blanket before taking a cold shower to calm himself. Thankfully, it seemed to work.

Now that he was much calmer, Gerald sat on the couch and began smoking cigarette after cigarette as he waited for her to wake up…

It was a few hours later when Gerald suddenly heard shuffling sounds coming from the bed. Turning around, he saw that the undressed woman had finally woken up!

Immediately looking away, Gerald loudly explained, “B-before you say anything, you fainted back there… Just so you know, I’m proficient with medicine, and fearing that you could be fatally injured, I took the initiative to try healing you. Thankfully, I think I managed to heal most of your wounds… R-regardless, please put your clothes on first…”

Blushing in response, Fujiko—who knew he wasn’t lying since she was feeling much better now—then replied, “T-thank you…!”

Not even her family had been able to predict that their enemy would strike there and then. Honestly, she did think about taking out the enemy since they were both already there back then. In the end, however, she was defeated… Thankfully, Gerald saved her in the nick of time. Still, when she thought about how she could’ve died back there, Fujiko couldn’t help but shiver in fear… Then again, things could’ve gone much worse if the enemy had chosen to use her as a hostage instead to threaten her family…

“…Don’t worry about it. I just so happened to be passing by, so I lent you a hand. I’m sure anyone would’ve done the same,” replied Gerald whose face was still reddened after seeing her undressed figure.

As Gerald continued suppressing his earthly desires, he heard Fujiko sigh before saying, “…Even if you say that, I still have to thank you for helping me today.”

Upon hearing the familiar rustle of clothes—and gathering that she must finally be putting her clothes on—Gerald heaved a sigh of relief before replying, “Don’t worry about it… I’m just glad you’re all healed up now…”
