The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2315

“He said that I’d fall into his grasp within the next few days, so what else could that imply?” replied Gerald, honestly amused by how confident Maddox had sounded.

“Well, that pretty much confirms it. All the things you learned that night pretty much pointed to him being the culprit anyway. Either way, what’s the next step? With how confident he seems with his plan, you should really refrain from acting rashly…” muttered Lucian in a worried tone.

“I’ll just wait for him to tell me the news,” replied Gerald as he looked out the window…

It was nearing midnight when they finally got back to the manor. The second they got out of the car, Aiden immediately rushed out, yelling, “Gerald!”

The butler—who had two umbrellas in hand—soon ran out as well, calling out, “Master!”

Upon standing before Gerald, Aiden immediately added, “Why didn’t you tell me you left? I could’ve followed to give extra protection!”

“While I appreciate the thought, you’d probably end up needing my protection instead,” replied Gerald with a chuckle as he patted Aiden’s shoulder.

“Heavy rain is apparently going to persist for another week, master. With that said, I’ve already prepared some thick clothes for all of you. That way, you won’t get too cold during the auction,” said the butler as he handed an umbrella to Gerald before raising the other above Lucian’s head.

“I assume he did so out of worry that his guests would find themselves in danger,” replied the butler who lacked the context that Gerald and Lucian had.

“Go on…” muttered the anxious Aiden.

“Well, it’s confirmed that Lindsay has been captured by him,” replied Gerald as he gestured for Aiden to sit beside him.

After taking a seat, Aiden waited patiently for Gerald to continue… However, the youth showed no signs of having anything else to say. With that, Aiden eventually asked, “…Is that it? What about whether Lindsay is being imprisoned back in that forested area?”

“And how would I learn about that?” replied Gerald as he rolled his eyes.

“…Huh? Then… what should we do…?” muttered Aiden in a disheartened tone. It was clear that he had expected Gerald to bring more news back…
