Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1998

Seeing how hesitant Gerald was, Yalinda then proposed, “…Look, to prove how serious I am about this, please allow me to treat you two to breakfast! Just so you know, there’s a particular bakery in Shontell that serves the most scrumptious bread on the planet! I’ll treat you to a meal there, and after that, you’ll take me as your disciple! How’s that?”

Before Gerald could even reply, Yale—who hadn’t moved from the door—nodded excitedly before saying, “I agree with her! After all, we haven’t had breakfast yet, brother Gerald!”

Raising a slight brow, Gerald then paused for a moment before reluctantly saying, “…Fine! I can’t deny that I’m a little hungry too! We’ll talk more about this once we’re done with breakfast!”

Following that, the trio began heading to the bakery Yalinda was talking about… Upon arriving, Gerald and Yale could immediately tell that Yalinda hadn’t been exaggerating. After all, the entire place was crowded! Regardless, upon noticing Yalinda’s presence, the owner of the bakery immediately led the three upstairs and arranged a table for them. The owner then walked off for a while before returning with a plate of freshly baked bread…

Seeing that, Gerald and Yale began enjoying their breakfast…

Realizing that Yalinda wasn’t eating, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Not having any?”

“I’ve already eaten! Either way, if there isn’t enough bread, I can always order for more!” replied Yalinda.

“This is the most delicious bread I’ve ever tasted! Please order two more plates, Miss Juans! I just can’t have enough of this!” exclaimed Yale, smiling like a kid the entire time.

Nodding in response, Yalinda then yelled, “Boss! Two more plates of bread please!”

“Coming right up!” replied a voice from downstairs almost instantaneously.

Soon enough, two more plates of pleasant-smelling bread were placed before Gerald and Yale…

Watching as Yale continued digging in, Yalinda couldn’t help but look at Gerald as she asked, “So… is he your disciple too, master…?”

Upon hearing that, Gerald was momentarily at a loss of how to reply. After all, he only saw Yale as a subordinate.

“Not at all! I’m just brother Gerald’s subordinate! I make a living with him!” replied Yale almost a bit too proudly…

Turning to face Yale next, Yalinda then asked, “Oh? Then I’m assuming you’re proficient in martial arts as well?”

“Nope! I… don’t even have the basics down…” muttered Yale, now feeling slightly embarrassed.

“What? You don’t know martial arts? Then why are you even by master’s side? What were you thinking when you accepted him, master?” asked the now wide-eyed Yalinda. After all, if all that Yale had said was true, then Gerald had just accepted this random nobody into his party!

Ignoring Yalinda’s question, Gerald instead asked back, “…Either way, what’s the real reason you’re so persistent on getting me to be your master? Just so you know, I don’t have much to teach!”

“As I’ve said before, it’s simply because you’re much more powerful than me! That alone is enough to make me want you to be my master!” replied Yalinda determinedly.

Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded with a sigh before saying, “…Fine! I’ll be your master under two conditions!”

“Please state them, master! I promise to do all that you say…!” exclaimed Yalinda as she nodded excitedly, glad that Gerald was finally willing to take her under his wing…
