The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2155

“Either way, let’s get you to the office first! I’ll call over the other investigation team members to introduce you to them. While we’re at it, I’ll take the chance to explain your temporary role in this investigation!” said Ichiro as he placed his hand on Gerald’s shoulder.

“Can we talk while eating?” asked Gerald as he patted his belly.

“Of course! You know where my office is, right? Go wait there for me first as I head out to get some food!” replied Ichiro. Forget eating, even if Gerald had requested to be someplace else, Ichiro would’ve readily rented someplace within the military grounds.

Following that, they all placed their written reports on the table, prompting Ichiro—who had just sipped on more water—to say, “Alright, take turns explaining what you found in the past two days.”

Hearing that, everyone did as Ichiro ordered. While everyone else was dead serious as they read their reports, Gerald—who had his legs crossed—simply continued eating his roasted chicken…
