Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2013
Simply sighing in response, Yalinda then said, âI⦠lost to Levi on my very first battle! I donât really want to talk about it⦠However, you shouldâve seen how strong master was, father! He took down Clyde with only a single move, you know?â
Chuckling in response, Tanner then replied, âOh? Impressive! Regardless, losing is just part of the learning process! Itâs no big deal! Besides, you only participated to have some fun, right?â
Nodding in response, Yalinda then said, âSpeaking of which, father, I need your help with something!â
âHmm? What is it?â asked Tanner curiously.
âWell, starting tomorrow, Iâd like you to start teaching Yale martial arts!â
âHuh? Why so sudden? And why me?â asked the surprised Tanner, clearly not expecting that request from his daughter.
âYaleâs been meaning to learn for a while, but master and I currently have no time to teach him! Soâ¦
yeah,â replied Yalinda as she shrugged.
After thinking for a while, Tanner then looked at Yale before asking, âWell⦠Are you willing to learn from me, Yale? While Iâm not as powerful as Gerald, I can still teach you the basics!â
Nodding in response, Yale then said, âI am! I just donât want brother Gerald to keep having to protect me⦠With that said, please allow me to start learning martial arts from you from tomorrow onward, Captain Juans!â âWell said. Iâll start waking you up early in the morning then! Consider this a warning, but if you donât get up in time, donât blame me for being merciless!â replied Tanner as he nodded in satisfaction.
Upon hearing that, Yalinda couldnât help but snicker. Inching closer to Gerald, she then whispered, âYaleâs going to be in so much trouble tomorrow, masterâ¦! Just so you know, heâs notoriously strict! I was punished time and again by father when I first started learning martial arts under him!â
Smiling subtly, Gerald wasnât really against that idea. After all, Yale had chosen to learn martial arts, so he may as well do it properly. If Yale succeeded in withstanding all the torture and challenges to come, he would surely be successful in his questâ¦
Whatever the case was, it was late that night when Gerald and Yale were in their shared room, resting in their beds.
Shortly after, however, Geraldâs eyes opened when he suddenly heard footsteps on the roof. Sitting up straight as he continued listening vigilantly, Gerald then turned to look at Yale who was unfortunately sleeping like a logâ¦
Either way, knowing that danger was close by, Gerald then got off his bed before rushing out of the house. Once he was outside, he leaped onto the rooftop⦠and was instantly greeted by the sight of four men donning black clothes!
Seeing that all four of them were holding machetes, Gerald was prompted to ask, âWho are you? And what are you doing here?â
Hearing that, the four men exchange glances at each other⦠and after a while, they turned to attack Gerald! With how fast they all were, Gerald could immediately tell that they were all stronger than his discipleâ¦
