The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2208

After a brief sigh, Gerald paused for a moment before turning to look at Aiden while asking, “…Actually, hold on. What are you doing here this early in the first place?”

“…Huh? Didn’t you say that we were doing something today? I’m here to ask you about it!” replied Aiden as he smacked his forehead. To think that those idiots had nearly caused him to forget why he was here!

“…Ah. Well, it’s nothing much. I just wanted you to head someplace with me,” explained Gerald as he got to his feet.

Watching as Gerald then put his coat on before opening the door, Aiden—who quickly got up as well—was prompted to ask, “Where to?”

“The Fareast Consortium. I previously gave them a hand, you see, so their chairman owes me a favor. Since the Futabas require help now, I may as well use this chance to get that favor done with,” replied Gerald.

Either way, upon seeing Gerald step out, the Futabas from before—who were just about to leave—immediately encircled him again, though they made sure to keep their distance.

“Um… Mister-”

“You should be well aware of my relationship with the patriarch. One more word or step forward and I’ll remove you from the family, no questions asked,” growled Gerald as he glared at them.

Upon hearing that, everyone immediately went silent, knowing full well that Gerald wasn’t kidding. Besides, since Takuya had obeyed Gerald’s orders throughout that family meeting, it honestly felt like Gerald was the family’s actual patriarch.

Whatever the case was, all of them could only follow and stare as Gerald and Aiden got into their car before leaving the manor together. It was at that point when they finally accepted that they weren’t going to get anything out of this.

“Don’t go looking too much into this, we’re merely heading over to ask him to lead us a hand. While we’re at it, we may as well ask him to treat us to a meal as well,” replied Gerald who cared little about the chairman’s status. After all, it wasn’t as though the chairman was going to be able to help him save his parents and sister.

Regardless, since the Futaba manor was quite far away from the Fareast Consortium, the duo only got to the city the group was in at noon.

Being one of the top five consortiums in the country, the Fareast Consortium boasted a whopping forty floors, making it stand out among the other buildings in the city. In fact, due to its importance, the Japanese government even set up streets in front of the building to facilitate entry and potentially further develop the group.

Either way, upon seeing the building’s massive signboard, Gerald parked their car in front of the building before saying, “Well, this is it.”
