Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2011
Hearing that, Gerald was immediately prompted to say, âThank you, Young Master Homewood!â
Honestly, Gerald had thought that Levi would be a little more reluctant. After all, this was their first meeting. As it turned out, Levi was quite the generous person!
âYouâre being way too polite, brother Crawford! In exchange, however, I do have one small request that I hope you can fulfill!â replied Levi.
âGo on, Young Master Homewood!â
âEssentially, I hope that you wonât go easy on me should we end up having to duel in the competition!â
âDeal!â replied Gerald, who was already planning to do that anyway. After all, he wanted to have a taste of how strong the Homewood Sword Technique actually was.
Now that Levi had specifically asked for it, Gerald knew he didnât have to hold back any longer⦠It truly was a win-win situation.
Regardless, the trio then continued having jovial conversations till they finished their meals. As promised, Levi took the duo to his familyâs smithery right after lunch.
The smithery itself was a landmark in Shontell, with the building looking like a gigantic sword that had been stabbed into the ground. As if that wasnât already impressive enough, the massive workshop inside was optimized to provide constant stocks to all the sword-selling shops in Shontellâ¦
Moving back to the trio, with the smithery in sight, Yalindaâs eyes instantly widened as she exclaimed, âOh boy! This is the first time looking at the smithery up-close!â
Naturally, not many were granted access into the smithery. Aside from workers and family members of the Homewood family, anyone else would need to have proof of their identity before being allowed to enter, which explained why Yalinda had never even come close to the building after living in Shontell for so long.
Since they had Levi leading their way, however, Gerald and Yalinda had no problems enteringâ¦
Once inside, the two were immediately amazed by how hot and steamy everything was! With endless âclankingâ of metal getting hammered all around, it was evident that the workers were serious with their craft. It truly was a remarkable sceneâ¦
Gerald, for one, figured that people of oldâback on earthâmust have manufactured swords like this as wellâ¦
Looking at Gerald, Levi then asked, âCome have a look here, brother Gerald! What do you think?â
âAmazing is the only word I can think of at the moment⦠Your smithery truly is spectacular!â praised Gerald from the bottom of his heart.
Chuckling in response, Levi then said, âAs a trivia, know that my smithery can produce over a thousand high-quality weapons every single day! Theyâre so sharp that you can easily slice stones with them!â
Following that, Levi then led Gerald and Yalinda to the area where the finished products were storedâ¦
and inside, there were at least a hundred swords, with each sword looking different from the other.
Smiling, Levi then declared, âPick one for yourself, brother Gerald! Consider it my gift to you!â
