Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2008

Despite Levi's counterattack, Yalinda was quite skilled with her whip. With that in mind, she immediately switched up her attacking style, constantly barraging Levi with ranged whip attacks that prevented him from coming too close.

Upon seeing that, Gerald-who had been watching the fight from the moment it began couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. After all, he had never seen Yalinda use a whip before. Still, with how skillfu she was with the weapon, Gerald had a feeling that Yalinda had spent ages training for the competition.

While he had to admit that Yalinda was skilled with the whip, Gerald knew that she wasn't Levi's match. After all, he could tell that Levi was still going easy on her.

If Levi truly decided to get serious, then Yalinda would surely have zero chance of winning... It wasn't as if he was trying to look down on his disciple, but this was simply the reality of the situation... Regardless, it wasn't long after before Levi began displaying his true capabilities. Enveloping his sword in a shadowy aura, Levi then began sending shadowblade after shadowblade flying toward Yalinda! Seeing that, Yalinda immediately retracted her whip, spinning it rapidly before her to form a protective aura against his attack! Unfortunately, Yalinda was a bit too late...

Before she could even fully get her protective shield up, one of the shadowblades struck the base of her whip, causing it to fly right out of Yalinda's hand!

Upon realizing what had just happened, Yalinda instantly knew that she had lost. With that in mind, she immediately yelled, "I admit defeat!”

Yalinda, for one, wasn't an idiot. The second Levi began using his true strength earlier, she already knew that she wasn't his match. Honestly, she was thankful that he hadn't used too much of his strength. Otherwise, she would've surely been unable to end the match unscathed...

Either way, upon hearing that, Levi sheathed his blade before smiling at Yalinda as he said, "I have to say, I'm quite impressed by the way you use your whip! I hope we'll have another chance to spar again in the future! Perhaps we could learn a thing or two from each other then!"

Smiling in response, Yalinda then nodded as she replied, "Of course, Mr. Homewood! Also, thank you for going easy on me!"

Following that, both of them bowed politely at each other before leaving the arena...

With that, Zenon took the chance to announce, "And so it's been decided! Mr. Homewood from the aristocratic sword family is the winner!"

Shortly after, Yalinda returned to her seat beside Gerald. Lowering her head rather meekly, she then muttered, "...I'm sorry for losing, master...!.I must be an embarrassment to you...!" Smiling in response, Gerald simply replied, "There's no need to apologize... After all, you did your best. Besides, I could already tell from the start that Levi was much stronger than you were. It was just your luck to have to deal with such a strong opponent straight off the bat! Still, winning and losing is all part of competitions like this, right?"

Gerald himself truly meant what he said. After all, his disciple was clearly daring enough to go against someone much tougher than her.

Whatever the case was, now that he had said that, Gerald was prompted to ask, "Speaking of which... How famous is the Homewood family in Shontell...?"

Based on his question alone, it was clear that his interest in that family had been piqued...
