Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 1996-1998

Chapters 1996.

With his sentence cut off by Yalinda's arrogant and ridiculing tone, there was no way Gerald would say no now. If he wanted to fight, he would get it, and he would make sure he never challenged him again!

"Okay, I accept! However, I have one condition!" Answer Gerald.

"Say name!"

"If I win again, you should start calling me as Gerald's brother. Needless to say, I hope you will start treating me not too cold at that! Seriously. Do you have to keep glaring at me as if I owe you all the money in this world?"

Gerald. Understanding how much of a loser Yalinda is, Gerald knows that she must set clear rules or that Yalinda will challenge her again in the future.

Whatever the case, Yalinda answered immediately,

"Deal!"

"Good to hear! Also, I'm sure you heard all that clearly, right, Captain Juan?"

Gerald said as he turned towards Tanner.

With her father bearing witness to all of this, Gerald is pretty sure Yalinda won't have the guts to be a painful loser once she loses.

Tanner seemed to understand Gerald's intentions as well, and he simply nodded. After dinner was over - and after a short break - the four of them then headed to the park together.

A moment looking at Gerald as he stood opposite her, Yalinda took a deep breath before growling,

"Ready?"

"Ready as you!" Gerald replied in a relaxed tone.

Hearing that, Yalinda immediately shot towards him, using all her strength to attack head-on!

Although Yalinda obviously used everything she had, to Gerald, she was still far from her level. In terms of strength, he couldn't even compare!

With that in mind, Gerald calmly took a step back as Yalinda's kick floated past him, and quickly, Gerald held onto Yalinda's leg!

As Gerald then pulled her down, Yalinda quickly made a split, hoping not to get hurt. Unfortunately for him, Gerald's immediate reaction was to clamp his foot to the ground!

Since he was now paralyzed, Gerald smiled faintly before saying,

"Well, it looks like it's my victory!"

Upon hearing that, Yalinda's eyes instantly widened as she became red with embarrassment. To think that he had lost so easily again!

"I..-"

"There's nothing more to say, Yalinda! You lost, so it's only natural that you accept it!"

Said Tanner-who had been watching everything from the side-, not even giving his daughter a chance to argue back.

Tanner, for example, knew that his daughter would never be able to match Gerald. In addition, she is also well aware that Gerald has been lenient with her.

Whatever the case, after hearing Tanner's words, Gerald then let go of Yalinda before adding with a subtle smile, she said,

"Your father is right, Miss Juans! Don't be a loser anymore!"

"Huh! Who is a loser? I admit I lost!"

Yalinda ejeked before escaping, clearly being angry.

'Is this girl serious...? Ahhe.. Fuck all this!'

Gerald thought inwardly.

What happened to that deal where he wouldn't remain angry at her if she lost? As if that wasn't enough, he even sacrificed himself despite being a bully!

Chapters 1997.

Shaking his head as he watched his daughter leave, Tanner could only smile awkwardly as he turned to face Gerald before saying, Tanner,

"Please don't take her childish heart, Gerald!"

Of course, Gerald wouldn't do it. After all, if he really wanted to fight with her earlier, he wouldn't have been easy.

As the saying goes, real men don't fight with women, and Gerald completely agrees with that. After all, he would not even bother to argue further with Yalinda.

However, after it was over, Tanner gave Gerald and Yale a rather spacious room for the night.

That night when Yale sat on his bed before saying while winking, he,

"Say, what do you think of Miss Juans, brother Gerald?"

Turning to look at Yale with slightly raised eyebrows, Gerald then replied,

"What's? Do you have a crush on him or something? If you do, go ahead and woo her without involving me!"

"It's as if I would consider such a thing! After all, he would never fall in love with someone like me! Anyway, I'm asking this for you! After all, with your incredible strength, you can definitely win the heart of a woman like her!" Yale Exclamation.

After hearing that, Gerald simply rolled his eyes. After all, she knew for sure that Yalinda was stubborn like a donkey when she thought of something. Feeling the headache coming the more he thought about it, Gerald only sighed before saying,

"Listen, I'm not someone like him!"

Gerald wasn't kidding either. Not wanting to continue the fruitless conversation, Gerald then lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling for a while before finally closing his eyes.

Falling asleep shortly after, it was only the next morning that he woke up again due to the sound of a strong knock.

Still a little dazed, Yale-who also woke up due to all the noise-asked to ask,

"Who is that.?"

"It's Yalinda! Open it!" Yalinda shouted from behind the door.

Hearing that, Yale got up from the bed and quickly ran to the door. As soon as the door was opened, Yalinda rushed towards Gerald, leaving Yale - who was still standing at the door - completely flustered.

Of course, Gerald was surprised as well. Anyway, it's still very early. 'Could he be looking for trouble again...?' Gerald thought to himself as he turned to look at her.

"So, why are you here so early, Miss Juans? Are you hoping to duel with me again.?"

Hearing that, Yalinda did not reply. Instead, he immediately knelt down in front of Gerald! Cupping her hands together, Yalinda then respectfully said,

"Please take me as your student."

Of course, Gerald was immediately dumbfounded to hear it. Who could have guessed that he, of all people, wanted her to be his master!

It took a while for him, but as soon as he regained his senses from his confusion, Gerald - who had no idea what was in his head - was asked to ask, saying,

"And why am I in particular?"

"Because you're so much stronger than me!" Yalinda answered, leaving Gerald speechless.

What kind of reason is that? After all, his words did make a little sense. After all, strong people were always respected and even adored by others.

Still, it signifies that Yalinda is a simple and rude person, and Gerald knows for sure that she is not someone who likes to curry favor with others.

With that in mind, Gerald paused for a moment before finally saying,

"Although that's the case, I don't want to accept any disciples!"

"I'll keep asking until you accept me!"

Yalinda said, her determination was unshakable.

Realizing that he would only continue to disturb her, Gerald sighed before saying,

"Give me time to consider it at least!"

Chapters 1998.

Seeing how beautiful Gerald was, Yalinda proposed,

“Listen, to prove how serious I am about this, let me treat you two to breakfast! Just so you know, there is a certain bakery in Shontell that serves the most delicious bread on the planet! I'll treat you to a meal there, and after that, you'll think of me as your disciple! How about that?"

Before Gerald could reply, Yale - who had not yet moved from the door - nodded vigorously before saying,

"I agree with him! Anyway, we haven't had breakfast, brother Gerald!"

Raising a few eyebrows, Gerald then paused for a moment before reluctantly saying,

"...Alrighty! I can't deny that I'm a little hungry too! We'll talk more about this after we finish breakfast!"

After which, the three began to head to the bakery that Yalinda was talking about. Upon arriving, Gerald and Yale knew immediately that Yalinda was not exaggerating. After all, the whole place was packed!

Regardless, after realizing Yalinda's presence, the bakery owner immediately led the three up and arranged a table for them. The owner then left for a while before returning with a plate of freshly baked bread.

Seeing that, Gerald and Yale began to enjoy their breakfast. Realizing that Yalinda was not eating, Gerald was compelled to ask,

"No eating?"

"I've eaten! Either way, if there is not enough bread, I can always order more!" Answer Yalinda.

"This is the best bread I've ever tasted! Please order two more plates, Miss Juans! I can't get enough of this!"

Yale exclaimed, smiling like a child all the time.

Nodding in response, Yalinda then shouted,

"Boss! Two more bread plates please!"

"Come here soon!"

Answer a voice from below almost instantly.

Shortly thereafter, two more plates of sweet-smelling bread were placed in front of Gerald and Yale. Watching Yale continue to dig, Yalinda could not help but stare at Gerald as she asked,

"So, is he your student too, sir...?"

Upon hearing that, Gerald was momentarily confused as to how to answer. After all, he only saw Yale as a subordinate.

"Not everything! I'm just Gerald's brother's subordinate! I make a living with him!"

Yale replied rather too proudly.

Turning to face Yale next, Yalinda then asked,

"Oh? Then I assume you're proficient in martial arts too?"

"...Nope! I don't even have the basics."

Yale muttered, now feeling a little embarrassed.

"What's? You don't know martial arts? Then why are you even on the side of master? What do you think of when you accept it, sir?"

Ask Yalinda who is now wide-eyed.

After all, if everything Yale said was true, then Gerald had just accepted this random person into his party!

Ignoring Yalinda's question, Gerald asked back,

"After all, what's the real reason you're so persistent in making me your master? Just so you know, I don't have much to teach!"

"As I've said before, it's only because you're so much stronger than me! That alone is enough to make me want you to be my master!"

Reply Yalinda firmly.

Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded with a sigh before saying,

"...Alrighty! I will be your master on two conditions!"

"Please mention them, sir! I promise to do everything you say.!"

Yalinda cried as she nodded vigorously, pleased that Gerald was finally willing to take her under his wing.
