    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1991


    Still, just from the way Gerald looked and talked, Kay knew better than to doubt him.


    Whatever the case was, seeing that Kay was about to escort them back to Shontell—to ensure that the


    holy stones wouldn’t get stolen by other bandits—Tanner took the chance to walk up to Gerald and say,


    “Speaking of which, are you headed for Shontell, Mr. Crawford?” “Indeed, we are!” replied Gerald with


    a nod.


    “I see! Then… Why don’t youe with us? After all, I still need to properly thank you for saving us!”


    suggested Tanner in a sincere tone.


    Chuckling in response, Gerald then said, “You’re being way too cordial, Captain Juans! Regardless, I’d


    rather not get in the way of your work! Don’t worry about us, we’ll head thereter on our own.”


    “Well… Alright then, but if you need anything or require any assistance in Shontell, you know who to


    look for!” replied Tanner in a slightly disheartened tone. Still, he wasn’t going to force Gerald to go


    along with his n.


    With that, Kay, Tanner, and the rest of their men left the scene…


    Gerald and Yale themselves only decided to set off once they were done with their meal.


    While making their way to Shontell, Yale couldn’t help but ask, “…Um… Why didn’t you ept Captain


    Juans’s invitation earlier?”


    Yale, for one, felt that Gerald should’ve definitely epted it. After all, he deserved the reward, and


    anyone else would’ve surely been overjoyed—to receive the invitation—and gone along with Tanner’s


    n.


    Simplyughing in response, Gerald then said, “Didn’t you see the look on General Lucarl’s face just


    now? He clearly has trouble believing that I was the one who took all of those scoundrels out! With that


    in mind, it’s best if we just go our separate ways to avoid any misunderstandings.” Though Yale now


    understood Gerald’s point of view, he still couldn’t help but feel that it was a pity that he had declined.


    After all, Gerald had let go of what could have potentially been a major favor from an influential person!


    Now, if Tanner had asked him instead, Yale would’ve surely allowed Tanner to properly thank him!


    Dreaming about the scenario, Yale felt that Tanner’s appreciation could’ve very well been at least a


    thousand holy stones!


    While Yale was only thinking about riches and fame, the thoughts had barely even crossed Gerald’s


    mind. He simply wasn’t that kind of person…


    Either way, after walking for a few miles, the two of them finally made it past the city gates of Shontell…


    As it turned out, Shontell was just asrge as Yale had previously described. The people here definitely


    lived prosperously as well, judging from how well-dressed everyone on the street was…


    Regardless, as they walked on, Yale suddenly began tugging Gerald’s arm toward a notice board of


    sorts while saying, “Brother Gerald! Look there!”


    Raising a slight brow, Gerald then looked at the board to see what all the fuss was about… and soon


    enough, he saw what Yale was so excited about.


    Of the many announcements on the notice board, one of them wrote, ‘Come join the Shontell Martial


    Arts Competition! The grand prize is a hundred thousand holy stones!’ Naturally, Gerald knew for a fact


    that Yale was just after the holy stones. With that in mind, he turned to look at the skinny man before


    asking, “A martial artspetition, huh? What, are you interested in joining, Yale?”


    “As if! Jokes aside, you should definitely join, brother Gerald! After all, there’s a hundred thousand holy


    stones up for grabs!” replied Yale excitedly.


    Still, as if someone like him would ever participate in such apetition! Being so proficient in martial


    arts, did Gerald even need to ask? Whatever the case was, if Gerald participated, he would definitely


    get the grand prize!


    To Yale’s dismay, however, Gerald simply said, “Sorry, not interested


    “But… But why? With a hundred thousand holy stones on hand, we won’t have to worry about not


    having enough ever again!”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
