Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 718
“Come fight her like a man, you coward!” yelled Mindy as she looked at Gerald. She honestly wanted to see both of
them spar.
“Yeah! Fight like a man!” chanted several of the other girls in the stadium as well.
Gerald could only shake his head with a wry smile on his face. There was no way he was going to be able to worm
out of this one.
Knowing that, he could only agree to the challenge and slowly got onto the main stage.
Throughout his brief training with Finnley, he had been taught a total of five self-defense moves. Each move was
different, prioritizing on protecting the user from either punches, kicks, or weapons both long and short. The fifth
technique, on the other hand, could be utilized under situations where one was being restricted from the back.
While all these would definitely help Gerald defend himself should he come face to face with danger, they were still
essentially only self-defense moves. They were completely useless in a fight like this.

immediately lunged toward him!
Despite being a girl, her speed was no joke. She must’ve thought that Gerald was some sort of martial arts master.
“Oh! She’s going all out!”
“She seems to be exerting much more strength now!”
“Now this is going to be interesting! How will Gerald react?!”
The crowd was going wild, speculating the end results with extreme excitement.
“He definitely won’t be able to take a hit! He simply doesn’t look like he has enough strength!”
“Then how did he throw Wyatt to the side so easily? Was that possibly just a coincidence?”
While the audience continued discussing among themselves, Jasmine herself stopped right in front of Gerald before
gracefully leaping and performing a spinning kick in mid-air! Her movements were so swift and packed with force
that it almost seemed as though she had been practicing this move for years.
Gerald however, kept a cool head and recalled what Finnley had taught him.
‘Regardless of the attack, if your opponent attacks with a kick, block with the second move.’
Hoping for the best, Gerald then waited for the perfect opportunity and once he saw it, he grabbed Jasmine by the
shin and pressed down on a pressure point. With just the slightest amount of force, he shifted his body to the side,
successfully countering the kick!
In no time at all, Jasmine found herself completely off balance, just like what Wyatt had experienced moments
earlier.
The very next second, she found herself colliding against the floor right outside the ring!
“…What?”
Everyone was momentarily stunned silent, especially Warren and Maia who had been more appalled than anyone
else.
Isabelle and the crowd of girls who had initially been rooting for Jasmine were left speechless as well.
‘… Jasmine… Who had easily defeated Warren was one-upped by Gerald?!’
“Jasmine!” shouted Mindy in a panic, breaking the awkward silence as she ran toward her and helped her up.
While Jasmine was badly wounded on her shoulder, her priority was to first look at Gerald from where she stood.
She had mixed feelings welling within her as she held onto her right shoulder with Mindy’s support.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven from a young age, Jasmine had always aimed to be the very best. To do so, however, she had to pay the price
for it. For the longest time, she was well aware that her peers were nowhere near the level she was.
Though her martial arts skills had always been something she was extremely proud of, she finally lost for the first
time today.
Maia herself still had her jaw wide open, utterly shocked by this development as the audience members began
cheering again, their cheers echoing throughout the stadium.
“Ow! Be a little gentler!” said Jasmine.
It was now already night and Mindy was busy tending to Jasmine’s wounds in their room back in the Fendersons
mansion.
“It’s all swollen up! God, I’m just so angry! We’re classmates so how could Gerald treat you so roughly! Just look at
the condition of your shoulder! If he angers me one more time I don’t care even if we’re classmates! I’m ordering
someone to take him out!” huffed Mindy.
“Don’t be rash! I lost and that’s that!” replied Jasmine.
“What do you mean, lost? He clearly cheated!”
“Calm yourself, Mindy. I would’ve been able to tell if he really was cheating. I’ll apply the medicine myself later. Also,
could you gather all twelve of my teachers? I have something to tell them,” said Jasmine as she slid her clothes
back on before looking at Mindy.
