Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2000

Knowing that Gerald would definitely be angry at her now for lying to him, Yalinda immediately bowed before declaring, “I apologize for hiding it from you, master!”

“Yalinda, I get why you’re doing all this, but I’m slightly disappointed that you planned on participating in that competition without notifying me about it! After all, there’s no reason for you to hide it! I’d have helped all the same!” replied Gerald while shaking his head.

“I-l understand master! I truly apologize for not telling you about it! I swear on my life that I’ll share everything with you from this moment onward, master!” declared Yalinda with a nod.

“That’s what I like to hear! Regardless, since you’re participating in that competition, I’ll make sure that the first prize is yours to take!” replied Gerald, seeing no reason to be mad at her anymore.

“R-really? How wonderfull” exclaimed Yalinda excitedly. “Indeed. Regardless, is the registration period for the competition between cultivators over?” asked Gerald.

“Nope, though it’ll be ending this evening!” replied Yalinda.

“Lead me there!” instructed Gerald, prompting Yalinda to immediately lead the duo to the registration area…

The three of them soon found themselves at the large entrance of Gardale City, and sitting there, was Jaymes Sudberg, the counselor responsible for the competition’s registration process.

Upon being told that Jaymes was the one he needed to talk to, Gerald walked over to him and declared, “Good day, I’d like to register for the competition!”

“Register? Which sect are you even from? Do you have any references?” asked James in a casual tone as he scanned Gerald from head to toe…

“Not that I know of-“

“Actually, he’s with the Juans Delivery House!” replied Yalinda with a faint smile before Gerald could even finish his sentence.

“The Juans Delivery House? Aren’t you the sole representative of the delivery house, Miss Juans?

Why’s there a second person?” asked Jaymes as he raised a slight brow.

“Please make an exception for him, councilor Sudberg! The truth is, he’s my master…” replied Yalinda as she took a holy stone out from her pocket and sneakily handed it to Jaymes. Realizing what she had just done, Jaymes quickly nodded before saying, “…Fine! What’s your name?”

“Gerald Crawford!” replied Gerald, prompting Jaymes to write Gerald’s name on a wooden token of sorts…

After handing it to Gerald, Jaymes then said, “Here, take this and keep it safe. It’s proof that you’ve registered and you won’t be able to participate if you fail to show up with it! Got it… 2”

It was three days later when the opening ceremony for the competition between cultivators commenced…

While there were quite a number of participants, Gerald’s attention was only caught when the announcer declared, “Next up, Yudele Mullington, the chief disciple of the Thundering Cloud Sect Following a cheer, everyone watched as a woman with a longsword in hand—donning white, goddess-

like clothing—walked past the city’s gates…

Walking behind her, were two other women who had their faces covered with veils, and they were clearly her attendants…
