Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1995

“Ah, don’t worry about that, Mr. Crawford! It’s normal to lose in a competition!” replied Tanner with a smile before inviting Gerald and Yale into his home…

Since the Martial Arts family was merged with the Juans Delivery House, it only made sense for Tanner and his daughter to live in the delivery house Regardless, Tanner and Yalinda were both quite famous in Shontell. After all, the Juans Delivery House provided reliable service, and many of Shontell’s residents tended to look for them whenever they needed holy stones or other goods delivered.

Due to their good name, it really was no wonder why those who used their service treated Tanner and Yalinda so politely. In fact, the Juans Delivery House even had several parties backing them up in Shontell.

Whatever the case was, once they sat down together in the lobby, Tanner found himself asking, “So…

What are your plans now, Mr. Crawford?”

“First off, Gerald’s fine… Calling me Mr. Crawford is a bit awkward…” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.

“Well, Gerald it is! Regardless, I’m assuming you don’t really have a place to stay yet since you did say you were vagabonds before this. With that in mind, why don’t you stay with us first? Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to treat you well!” suggested Tanner after thinking about it for a bit.

“Well, if you insist! Thanks for having us!” replied Gerald, feeling that staying here wasn’t a bad idea.

Besides, it wasn’t as if they had found someplace else to stay in yet…

Fast forward to nighttime, Gerald, Yale, Tanner, and his daughter found themselves having their dinner together in the lobby…

Since Gerald and Yale hadn’t eaten anything for most of the day, the second the food arrived, they immediately began munching down like there was no tomorrow.

Yalinda herself could only glare at Gerald in her annoyance. After all, she still couldn’t get over the fact that Gerald was actually the person who had saved her father’s life! While she was thankful about that, the fact that he had defeated her so humiliatingly made it much harder for her to just treat him nicely.

Despite his daughter’s annoyance, Tanner was in a jovial mood, and he couldn’t help but laugh as he said, “Slow down, the food’s not going anywhere! If you need more, just say the word!”

Upon hearing that, Yalinda took the chance to scowl, “He’s right! What are you two, pigs?”

Hearing her statement, Yale immediately stopped eating, now feeling rather awkward.

Tanner, on the other hand, raised a slight brow as he grunted, “Yalinda! Where are your manners?”

Seeing that Yalinda then promptly fell silent, Gerald cleared his throat before saying, “…Miss Juans, I hope you don’t take this morning’s events to heart. After all, had I known that you were Captain Juans’s daughter, I wouldn’t have challenged you in the first place! With that in mind, please forgive my insolence and let’s move on from it.”

Watching as Gerald then held up his wine glass, Yalinda—who had noticed how intense her father’s glare was—knew she had no choice but to have a toast with Gerald…

Once their glasses met with a ‘clink,’ Yalinda finished her wine in a single gulp before placing it down and declaring, “Let’s have another match right after this meal!”

This, of course, caught Gerald by surprise. To think that this girl would still want to compete with him!

Sighing as he shook his head, Gerald then replied, “Look, don’t you think having another competition is rather unnecessary-“

“No, it’s not. Unless… Could it be that you’re afraid that Ill win this time?”
