The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2293

“…Are you saying that Maddox’s actions simply coincided with your return? As in, he kidnapped Lindsay to lure you back—and finally deal with you—, not knowing that you were planning to return anyway…?” said Lucian as he tapped on his desk.

“It’s certainly a possibility,” replied Gerald.

“Indeed… Regardless, I’ve already told my friend to keep an eye out on Maddox. With that said, he’ll definitely notify me the second Maddox does anything weird. With any luck, we’ll soon get the opportunity to tail Maddox and hopefully be able to save Lindsay. So, what do you think, Gerald? Any better suggestions?” asked Lucian.

“Not at all. I’m fine with that plan,” replied Gerald with a nod, knowing that going with Lucian’s plan was probably their best bet of saving Lindsay, at least for the moment.

The second his sentence ended, one of Lucian’s servants entered the room—with a dripping umbrella in hand—before saying, “There are a few people claiming to be Gerald’s friends at the door, master.”

“How many are there?” asked Gerald.

Upon hearing that, the servant went silent for a moment before eventually replying, “Three, I presume. Unfortunately, it was a bit too dark for me to say for certain…”

Nodding in response, Gerald then said, “Invite them in.”

Though Lucian knew that Gerald wouldn’t just invite anyone random to his house, he couldn’t help but ask, “…Care sharing who those individuals are…?”

“Of course. One of them is a good friend, and the other is the young lady of Japan’s Futaba family. As for the third person, he’s an elder from another Japanese family. In case you’re worried about their trustworthiness, I know all of them well, Mr. Grubb,” explained Gerald.

“Glad to hear,” replied Lucian as he noted down everything that Gerald had just told him…

“We have, though it’ll probably be a while before we manage to get any results,” replied Gerald as he poured more tea for Jobson.

Having a feeling that Gerald still wanted to talk about other things with them, Lucian then cleared his throat as he said, “…Regardless, it’s getting rather late so I’ll be excusing myself first. Also, your rooms have already been prepared, so once you’re all ready to turn in, just tell the servant who led you in to bring you there.”

Following that, Lucian gave his butler a brief glance, and the two then began leaving the room with umbrellas in hand…

“Thanks for having us, Mr. Grubb!” called out Jobson just seconds before Gerald closed the reception room’s door behind them…

Once the two were gone, Jobson’s smile instantly vanished as he whispered, “So… Since you called all of us here, I’m assuming you’ve made progress in our main mission?”
