Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1994

“Either way, there’s no helping it. That person won fair and square, and we just have to accept that replied Tanner as he consoled his daughter, knowing full well that in the world of martial arts competitions, nobody could remain at the top forever…

Though Yalinda looked like she wanted to refute, she finally realized that there was a terrible scar on Tanner’s arm! With that in mind, she quickly asked, “Huh? When did you get injured, dad? What happened?”

Hearing that, Tanner simply chuckled indifferently as he waved his good hand and said, “It’s just a scratch! Regardless, I got the wound from some of Mount Tygress’s bandits on my way back!”

“Those bandits? They’re really getting more and more chaotic by the day! Either way, do consider increasing the number of men with you while you’re out delivering things! If you don’t, I swear I’m going to start coming with you as extra protection!” mumbled Yalinda after a short pause.

Simply patting his daughter’s head in response, Tanner then dotingly said, “It’s alright. Besides, I’d rather my daughter remained safe.”

At that moment, a guard’s voice could be heard anxiously calling out from outside, “C-captain Juans!”

Raising a slight brow, Tanner then walked out before asking, “Yes? What’s all the commotion about?”

“T-there are two men out there who wish to meet you! Though they claimed that they saved your life earlier, I wanted to make sure with you first before letting them in!” replied the guard.

“Oh? Where are they now? Lead me to them!” ordered the surprised Tanner.

Nodding in response, the guard then began jogging over to the door, with Tanner following closely behind. Curious, Yalinda tailed along as well. After all, what kind of person was capable enough to save her father?

Either way, once they arrived at the door, Tanner’s eyes immediately widened. As it turned out, Gerald and Yale truly were standing—with their backs facing him—at his front door!

“Mr. Crawford! What a pleasure!” declared the excited Tanner.

Tanner, for one, had earlier assumed that Gerald would never come over, causing him to be rather bummed out by that. It certainly explained why he was so glad to see Gerald at his doorstep.

Hearing his voice, the duo then turned around… and the second their faces were in view, Yalinda was so shocked that she couldn’t help but point at Gerald while exclaiming, “I-it’s you!”

Gerald himself was quick to point back as he incredulously yelled, “So it’s you again!”

Seeing this exchange, the confused Tanner was prompted to ask, “You… know Mr. Crawford, Yalinda…

2?”

“Yeah! He… He’s the one who defeated me earlier!” yelled Yalinda, her voice getting increasingly angry. Upon hearing that, Tanner immediately laughed out loud.

As it turned out, the one who had taken her out was Gerald! It all made sense now! After all, Gerald had ungodly strength!

Whatever the case was, Tanner quickly cleared his throat before saying in a serious tone, “…Now, now, Yalinda, let’s not be rude! Remember, Mr. Crawford is still the one who saved my life! Had it not been for him, I would’ve perished by now!”

When she heard that, Yalinda simply snorted angrily before leaving the scene, not wanting to see Gerald any longer than she needed to.

Worried that Gerald would get displeased by his daughter’s behavior, Tanner then turned to look at the youth before saying, “Please don’t take her words and actions to heart, Mr. Crawford… My daughter’s just like that!”

“Don’t worry about it, Captain Juans… She’s only behaving that way since I defeated her, so! hope you’ll forgive me for that!” replied Gerald with a subtle smile, feeling slightly embarrassed…
