Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2006-2007

Chapters 2006.

Hearing that, Gerald only chuckled in response. Still, he had a feeling that he should be lenient to Yudell if they were really facing each other.

After thinking about it for a little longer, Gerald was asked to ask,

"Is there a real advantage in winning the first prize?"

"There! First, you will earn a highly esteemed 'national scholar' in Shontell! The champion will also be given the opportunity to choose and obtain one of the precious treasures from our national treasury!"

Obviously Yalinda was a bit excited.

"Oh? Are there many treasures in the national treasury?"

Gerald asked in a curious tone.

"Of course!"

Yalinda exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she nodded.

"I saw! Then I must definitely win the first prize!"

Gerald replied, his interest is now piqued.

"It's good to hear it, sir! Although I may not have a very high chance of getting first place, you definitely won't have a problem with it, mister! Once you win, the popularity of the Juans Delivery House will definitely skyrocket!"

Yalinda said with a joyful tone.

Since Gerald represented the Juans Delivery House, if he won, Tanner and his daughter would also be the winners. It was a victory for all of them!

To be honest, he had originally participated just for fun. He never imagined that he could really enjoy the benefits of getting the first prize.

At that moment, a knock suddenly sounded from their door. Instantly becoming alert as the two glared at the door, Yalinda first asked,

"..Who's that?"

"It's Yudell! I'm here to ask Gerald something!" Reply Yudel.

Hearing that it was Yudell, Yalinda immediately looked surprised. Turning to look at Gerald, he then whispered,

"I didn't think Yudell would come looking for you, sir...!"

Whatever the case, Yalinda then opened the door for him. As soon as Yudell was inside, she turned to face Gerald before saying,

"There's something I need to talk to you about, Gerald. Would you mind taking a minute?"

Hearing that, Gerald then looked at Yalinda before nudging towards the door. Understanding what he meant, Yalinda then walked out and closed the door behind him.

Standing right outside, Yalinda waited there patiently, knowing that her master and Judel had important matters to discuss.

However, now that Yudell and Gerald were alone in the room, Gerald pointed to the sofa before politely saying,

"Please, sit down."

After doing it yourself, Gerald then added, adding,

"So. Why did you come looking for me this late, Miss Mullington?"

Yudell replied without further ado.

"Continue." Mumbled Gerald.

"Basically, I've seen how powerful you are, and I know I'll never be your opponent! However, I hope you allow me to win the first prize! Being a champion is very important to me."

Pinta Yudell with a serious expression on her face.

"...Good. However, you owe me one, and I can ask for your help whenever necessary.! Agreed?" Answer Gerald.

Although he was a little surprised to hear it, Yudell felt it was okay to make such a deal with Gerald. With that in mind, after a short pause, Yudell replied,

"...Deal!"

With the deal made, Yudell then left Gerald's room.

Fast forward to the morning, Yalinda and Gerald returned to the arena. While the others had largely remained the same, an old man was now a representative of the Thundering Cloud Sect.

After all, the time had finally come for Yalinda to enter the ring today. To be honest, he had only participated in small competitions before this.

In other words, this was her first time participating in such a large competition, which explained why she was feeling so anxious now.

Not too long later, Zenon Lightning stepped forward before announcing,

"Good day everyone! This was the second day of the competition between cultivators, and the first match was between Yalinda Juans, the representative of the Juans Delivery House, and Levi Homewood, the eldest son of an aristocratic sword family! Please prepare yourself!"

Hearing that, both Yalinda and Levi walked into the middle of the arena, staring at each other intently during the process. As soon as they stood right in front of each other, Levi smiled subtly as he said, Levi,

"Well, who would have thought we'd fight each other today!"

Chuckling in response, Yalinda then replied,

"Indeed! I hope you'll be easy on me today, Mr Homewood!. Besides, I've heard a lot of stories about your swordsmanship! While I'm happy to be able to broaden my horizons through our upcoming duel, let's try not to overdo it, okay?"

As Yalinda had said, this was only a martial arts competition, and such competitions were usually held to tighten the bonds between challengers. Killing is naturally forbidden, so defeating an opponent is usually good enough.

"But of course, Miss Juans!" answer Levi.

Because both came from wealthy and powerful families in Shontell, Yalinda believed that Levi was a good person. At the very least, he probably wouldn't do something too despicable.

After all, now that they had agreed to it, the two of them withdrew their weapons. While Yalinda holds a long black whip, Levi has a long sword - made by her family - in hand.

Being an aristocratic family in Shontelll, not only were Homewoods famous for their excellent sword making, but they were also famous for their swordplay.

Time and again, Homewoods swordsmanship had progressed for the better, and only a few could win against them. Because of this, they received fewer and fewer challengers year after year.

With that in mind, not many people could witness Homewood's true sword fighting abilities in the past few years, either, which explains why Yalinda was so honored to be dueling against the eldest son of the Homewood family today.

Even if he ended up losing, he still felt satisfied. Whatever the case, after staring at each other for longer, the two then rushed forward simultaneously!

Taking the initiative to attack, Yalinda whipped him, creating a rumbling sound that almost made it feel like the air was blown to pieces.!

Although it was very impressive, Levi would not let him take all the action. With a quick slash from his sword, his sword force caused the whip of Yalinda to be thrown backwards!
