Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2004

"Holy cr*p...! That attack was so terrifyingly awesome...!" exclaimed Yalinda, unable to help but wonder if she'd even stand a chance against Yudell if she ended up having to duel against her... "It truly is... Still, it has its flaws. It's a pity that Watts wasn't able to find a way to properly deal with it!" replied Gerald rather casually.

Unlike other people, Gerald's trained eye was immediately able to identify how to counter that attack.

"Huh? Have you already found a way to counter the attack, master?" replied Yalinda in disbelief.

"Of course I have!" said Gerald in a confident tone.

With how confident his reply was, Yalinda knew better than to doubt her master.

Whatever the case was, now that Watts had been beaten, General Lucarl stepped forward before announcing, "And the winner for this round is... Yudell! The Thundering Cloud Sect's representative!" Hearing that, Yudell then sheathed her sword... Since this was simply a competition, there was no need for her to overdo things. Besides, if she had really wanted to kill Watts, she wouldn't have held back her full strength earlier...

Watt himself was naturally dissatisfied with the results. However, he knew better than to be a sore loser before all those spectators. Doing so would only bring shame to his Sect of Steel...

Regardless, Kay then cleared his throat before declaring, "A stunning first fight! Let's proceed with our next contestants, Gerald Crawford, the representative of Juan's Delivery House, and Clyde Gower, the Gower family's representative! Please prepare yourselves!"

"Oh? I didn't think you'd go up against Clyde, master! If he's your opponent, you're definitely going to win." said Yalinda rather excitedly.

"You seem familiar with him... How powerful is he?" asked Gerald.

"He's about as strong as I am. In other words, he's nowhere near your level!" explained Yalinda.

Nodding in response, Gerald then walked into the arena...

Clyde himself was already there, and the second he saw Gerald, he immediately frowned before scoffing, "Why are you representing the Juans Delivery House instead of Yalinda?"

While the others didn't know it, Clyde had specifically trained himself to deal with Yalinda for the longest time. With that in mind, he was understandably grumpy now that this random nobody showed up instead of her.

'Who even is this guy...?" grumbled Clyde in his mind. Simply chuckling in response, Gerald then smiled subtly before replying, "You won't be able to take her on with me here!"

Upon hearing that, Clyde grew even more gloomy. Still, Gerald didn't look particularly strong to him, so he wasn't planning on taking him seriously...

While all this was happening, Yudell herself kept a close eye on Gerald, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. After all, since there was a chance that she'd face him later, she wanted to see how strong he truly was.

"Ahh... Who cares if the Juans Delivery House has two representatives! I'll just take you down first so that I can beat Yalinda later!" scoffed Clyde confidently, knowing full well that the weak-looking man before would never be able to pose a threat to him!
