The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1992
Looking at how disheartened Yale was, Gerald could only sigh as he thought about it for a moment before replying, ââ¦Fine, Iâll participate!â
Naturally, the second he heard that, Yale instantly broke into a smile.
Regardless, the duo then began heading toward the arena where the martial arts competition was being heldâ¦
Upon arriving, they were slightly surprised to see how crowded it was. At the time, a woman and man were competing against each other, and each move they dealt gained loud cheers from the audience.
Shortly after, the woman landed a kick right in the manâs chest, sending him flying out of the arena!
Following more loud cheers, what appeared to be the judge then stood up before declaring, âAnd Miss Yalinda Juans scores another victory! Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge her? Remember, if you win, a hundred thousand holy stones will be yours.â
Despite the promise of so many holy stones, the crowd instantly went silent. After all, they had all seen how powerful Yalinda was, so none of them even dared to dream about challenging her!
Seeing that nobody was stepping up, the judge then cleared his throat before saying, âNobody at all?
Well, I guess itâs high time we announce the winner then! Now, without further ado, the champion of the martial arts competition is-â
âHold it!â yelled out a voice from the crowd at the very last minute.
Surprised to hear that, everyone then turned to face the source of the voice⦠and standing there, was none other than Gerald.
Making his way through the crowd before leaping into the arena, Gerald then looked at the judge before saying, âIâll up for a challenge!â
Hearing that, the crowd instantly went into an uproar! As many of the audience members began discussing who this person was, the judge himself was momentarily stunned speechless, clearly not expecting anyone else to challenge her.
Whatever the case was, Yalinda herself simply scanned Gerald from head to toe before disdainfully scoffing, âLook, just give up and save yourself the embarrassment! I assure you that youâre nowhere near capable of beating me!â
Raising a slight brow, Gerald simply replied, âWell someone sounds sure of herselfâ¦â
Before Yalinda could say anything else, the judgeâwho had finally snapped out of itâwalked over to Gerald before asking, âUm⦠Are you ready, mister?â
Once Gerald nodded, the judge nodded as well before declaring, âWell⦠Without further ado, let the next battle begin!â
The second the declaration was made, Yalinda wasted no time and launched herself toward Gerald, aiming a punch straight for his chest!
While Yalinda was undoubtedly fast, she was nowhere near as fast as Gerald.
With that in mind, Gerald easily dodged her attack⦠though instead of moving away, he instead grabbed her by the wrist before using her attackâs momentum to toss her into the air!
Of course, Gerald made sure to catch her before she fell to the ground. After all, he of all people knew how painful landing from such a height could getâ¦
Regardless, as Gerald allowed Yalinda to get to her feet again, he soon realized that the entire arena had gone silent.
Then again, it wasnât all that surprising. After all, who wouldnât be stupefied to see the great Yalinda getting taken out with only a single move? It was simply unheard of! Yalinda herself had her eyes wide open. To think that Gerald was this powerful⦠There was no way she was going to be able to defeat him! Shaking his head, Gerald then turned to look back at her before saying, âWell⦠itâs my winâ
Upon hearing that, Yalinda instantly frowned. She wasnât about to let him attain victory so easily! With that, she then yelled, ââ¦Thatâ¦! That didnât count! We start another round!â
Squinting his eyes slightly, Gerald then growled, âI beg your pardon? Didnât count? How exactly did that fail to count?â
