“Ah, don’t worry about that, Mr. Crawford! It’s normal to lose in a competition!” replied Tanner with a smile before inviting Gerald and Yale into his home…
Since the Martial Arts family was merged with the Juans Delivery House, it only made sense for Tanner and his daughter to live in the delivery house
Regardless, Tanner and Yalinda were both quite famous in Shontell. After all, the Juans Delivery House provided reliable service, and many of Shontell’s residents tended to look for them whenever they needed holy stones or other goods delivered.
Due to their good name, it really was no wonder why those who used their service treated Tanner and Yalinda so politely. In fact, the Juans Delivery House even had several parties backing them up in Shontell.
Whatever the case was, once they sat down together in the lobby, Tanner found himself asking, “So… What are your plans now, Mr. Crawford?”
“First off, Gerald’s fine… Calling me Mr. Crawford is a bit awkward…” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.
“Well, Gerald it is! Regardless, I’m assuming you don’t really have a place to stay yet since you did say you were vagabonds before this. With that in mind, why don’t you stay with us first? Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to treat you well!” suggested Tanner after thinking about it for a bit.
“…Well, if you insist! Thanks for having us!” replied Gerald, feeling that staying here wasn’t a bad idea. Besides, it wasn’t as if they had found someplace else to stay in yet…
Fast forward to nighttime, Gerald, Yale, Tanner, and his daughter found themselves having their dinner together in the lobby…
Since Gerald and Yale hadn’t eaten anything for most of the day, the second the food arrived, they immediately began munching down like there was no tomorrow.
Yalinda herself could only glare at Gerald in favonovel.com annoyance. After all, favonovel.com still couldn’t get over the fact that Gerald was actually the person who had saved favonovel.com father’s life! While favonovel.com was thankful about that, the fact that favonovel.com had defeated favonovel.com so humiliatingly made it much harder for favonovel.com to just treat favonovel.com nicely.
Despite his daughter’s annoyance, Tanner was in a jovial mood, and favonovel.com couldn’t help but laugh as favonovel.com said, “Slow down, the food’s not going anywhere! If you need more, just say the word!”
Upon hearing that, Yalinda took the chance to scowl, “He’s right! What are you two, pigs?”
Hearing favonovel.com statement, Yale immediately stopped eating, now feeling rather awkward.
Tanner, on the other hand, raised a slight brow as favonovel.com grunted, “Yalinda! Where are your manners?”
Seeing that Yalinda then promptly fell silent, Gerald cleared his throat before saying, “…Miss Juans, I hope you don’t take this morning’s events to heart. After all, had I known that you were Captain Juans’s daughter, I wouldn’t have challenged you in the first place! With that in mind, please forgive my insolence and let’s move on from it!”
Watching as Gerald then held up his wine glass, Yalinda—who had noticed how intense favonovel.com father’s glare was—knew favonovel.com had no choice but to have a toast with Gerald…
Once their glasses met with a ‘clink,’ Yalinda finished favonovel.com wine in a single gulp before placing it down and declaring, “Let’s have another match right after this meal!”
This, of course, caught Gerald by surprise. To think that this girl would still want to compete with him!
Sighing as favonovel.com shook his head, Gerald then replied, “Look, don’t you think having another competition is rather unnecessary-”
“No, it’s not. Unless… Could it be that you’re afraid that I’ll win this time?”
