The Invisible Mogul -
Chapter 1791
Upon looking at the message, Gerald couldn’t help but momentarily pause.
“Water that comes crashing down from three thousand feet... Could that be hinting at some kind of waterfall...?”
After thinking about it for a short while, Gerald instantly stepped out of his office—making sure to properly lock the door behind him—before driving off
to the newest waterfall in the Leicom Continent. All of this... it couldn’t just be pure coincidence.
The clues that the other party provided most probably involved incidents that were happening around Gerald, and if Gerald’s thought process was
correct, then the old poem was probably hinting that there was a hostage in that area...
Whatever the case was, after about half an hour, Gerald arrived at Durduff Mountain where the newest waterfall was located. The area itself had the
largest mountain range in all of the Leicom Continent, leading many tourists to have their vacations here.
Regardless, upon entering the mountain, Gerald blended in with the crowd. After following them for a while, he eventually arrived at the newest
waterfall...
Looking up, Gerald saw that it was barely even a hundred feet tall. While it certainly didn’t have a height of three thousand feet, Gerald was well
aware that the ancient poem’s description was simply a hyperbole. After all, did a waterfall spanning three thousand feet even exist?
With that, Gerald immediately resumed looking for hints while everyone else was still aweing at the waterfall.
While looking around, the corner of Gerald’s eye caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a rather narrow and mysterious-looking boulevard on the
left of the waterfall. From the looks of it, only one person could pass through at a time...
Still, Gerald felt compelled to head there, which was why he immediately did just that...
After walking for a bit, he eventually arrived at the opening of a large cave. Before he could even venture in, however, he suddenly heard someone
from inside crying out, “H-help...!”
Hearing how anxious the feminine voice’s cries were, Gerald immediately deduced that she was in grave danger. With that, he bolted right toward the
source of her voice without any hesitation!
As the screaming grew louder, Gerald soon caught sight of a woman who had been tied to a stone pillar. With water appearing to constantly drip from
above her, it certainly explained why she was so drenched.
Running over to free her, Gerald also noticed that both her eyes were bloodshot, signifying just how long she had been trapped here...
Either way, upon seeing Gerald, the overjoyed woman instantly cried out, “H-hello! P-please, save me...!”

Nodding in response, Gerald then retrieved a small knife from his backpack before easily freeing the woman from the rope.
Realizing that she was finally free, the relieved woman instantly hugged Gerald tight.
Not even flinching from that, Gerald didn’t beat around the bush and immediately asked, “You’re safe now. Regardless, may I know how long you’ve
been trapped in here, miss?”
Hearing that, the woman shook her head before replying, “...That... I’m not too sure, honestly... All I remember is that I was knocked unconscious by
someone as I was heading home last night... Upon waking up, I was already here...”
Upon hearing that, Gerald instantly frowned before asking, “...I see. Prior to getting knocked out, are you absolutely sure you didn’t come across any
weird situations on your way home?”
Shaking her head again—and feeling slightly confused as to why she was being asked all this—, the woman then replied, “Not at all. After all, I
always get off work at around eight. While it’s true that I leave work alone, I also drive, you see, and I make it a habit to go straight home after office
hours...”
As Gerald registered her reply, the corner of his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a purple envelope that had been slipped into
a stone with a tiny crevice on its side...
Raising a slight brow, Gerald then walked over and picked it up.
“...Huh? An envelope...?” mumbled the confused woman.
“...Whatever the case is, you’re safe now, miss. Even so, I’ll need you to report what happened to you to the Grand Council. Also, please be more
careful in the future!”
