The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2154

“Oh…? What agendas could I probably have?” asked Gerald as he raised a slight brow, clearly not expecting the colonel to ask that.

“Don’t get me wrong, but since I’m the one in charge, I need to remain vigilant at all times. We’re all aware of the giant mess you created back in Yanam, Gerald. With the Yanam military’s leader missing—which is why Carter is now in charge—I’m simply worried that you may do the same to our military,” replied Oda as he stared at Gerald.

With how dangerous this mission was, Oda knew that if things got out of control, there was a high chance that anyone present would be as good as dead…

Hearing that, Gerald burst out laughing before explaining, “While I can understand where you’re coming from, I’m afraid you still don’t understand how I operate. You see, I only did that to the Yanam military since they kidnapped my friend. They even used his life to threaten me, you see. With that in mind, I assume you’ll see things from my point of view?”

“I have heard about that too,” replied Oda who had previously been told the same thing while he was researching the Yanam incident.

Honestly, Oda would’ve tried his best to save his friend as well if they were kidnapped by the Yanam military. Of course, he wasn’t as strong as Gerald, so he would’ve used other methods to do so.

Whatever the case was, Gerald then said, “Either way, I’m just helping you since I get along well with Noda. I won’t deny that I’m just doing this because I’m bored either. However, if you still think I’m too dangerous, feel free to reject my offer. If you do, I won’t ask any further about this affair,” said Gerald in a low voice.

While there was an instant change in Ichiro’s expression upon hearing that, since Oda was present, Ichiro remained silent on the spot…

“Indeed. That will be your current identity. Thankfully, you don’t hold any governmental positions in Weston or this would be against your country’s laws… Regardless, go ahead and start investigating. I’ll be heading back to monitor the competition, but if there’s anything you two find, inform me immediately, got that?” said Oda as he nodded before leaving the office.

Regardless, now that Oda had agreed, Ichiro instantly felt relieved. With Gerald’s help, they were certainly going to crack the case in the nick of time! Now fully motivated, Ichiro turned to face Gerald before declaring, “I’ll be counting on you from now on, Gerald!”

“Likewise. And don’t worry too much, I’m just using this as an excuse to pass time,” replied Gerald as he smiled while shaking his head…
