The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2009
âWell, pretty famous Iâd say! After all, not only are the Homewoods one of the top aristocratic families in Shontell, but theyâre also well known for the swords they manufacture as well as their swordsmanship! In fact, theyâre the only people who know how to utilize the Homewood Sword Technique!â explained Yalinda.
âI see⦠Could you introduce Levi to me then? Iâd love to get acquainted with him!â replied Gerald.
â.Oh? Why so sudden, master?â asked Yalinda rather curiously.
âWell, thereâs nothing wrong with getting to know more people. Besides, I have a feeling that Levi is a nice person!â explained Gerald with a subtle smile.
âWell⦠Alright then! Iâll bring you over to meet him once Iâm done later!â replied Yalinda. After all, she had no reason to reject her masterâs suggestion. Regardless, the morning session of the competition came to an end at noon, and it was then when Yalinda led Gerald to Levi. They were just in time too since Levi was about to leave Gardale City when they found him.
Seeing that, Yalinda immediately yelled, âM-Mr. Homewood! Wait up!â
Upon hearing Yalindaâs familiar voice, Levi then turned around and waited for themâ¦
Once they were before him, he then smiled before asking, âTo what do I owe this pleasure, Miss Juans?â
Simply laughing in response, Yalinda then said, âWell, Iâm not the one looking for you⦠My masterâs the one!â
âOh? Your master, you say?â replied Levi, feeling slightly puzzled as he turned to look at Gerald.
Levi, for one, had witnessed Clydeâs defeat by Geraldâs hands yesterday. While it was true that he greatly admired Gerald after that, he still couldnât believe that Yalindaâs master looked to be around the same age as he was!
Either way, since Levi wasnât saying anything, Gerald took the chance to smile before saying, âGood day, Mr. Homewood! As Yalinda said, Iâm her master. You can call me Gerald Crawford!â
Hearing that, Levi then snapped out of it before replying, ââ¦Ah, yes! Forgive the silence, I was just surprised that you wanted to meet me in the first place! Regardless, I remember seeing you defeat Clyde with just a single move yesterday⦠Quite impressive, I must say!â âYou flatter me, Mr.
Homewood! Either way, Yalindaâs already told me about you some time ago, and it truly is an honor to meet you in the flesh, Mr. Homewood!â replied Gerald, knowing full well that rich young masters like Levi loved it when others fawned on him.
As expected, Levi instantly smiled widely after hearing that. Laughing heartily, he then declared, âNow youâre just exaggerating, Mr. Crawford! Regardless, Iâm about to head out to have a grand lunch now.
Would you two like to join me?â
âWell, since youâve invited us so courteously, how could we say no?â replied Gerald.
Yalinda herself simply smiled while nodding. Wherever Gerald went, she would go as wellâ¦
With that, the trio left Gardale City togetherâ¦
Unbeknownst to them, however, two men had been keeping an eye on the party from a high platform within Gardale Cityâ¦
