“Hmph, that’s because Sheng Ming hadn’t met me.”
It seems like the proud Cruff couldn’t heed anyone’s words.
The coach shook his head helplessly.
As Cruff had never suffered a defeat in a shooting competition, his heart was incredibly swollen with pride.
It would be fine if he kept up with his victories. But should he suffer a defeat even once, it would be a destructive blow to Cruff.
“Cruff, I will let you be if you can keep on winning. But you need to be wary of this Yin Ruoyi this time round.”
Cruff nodded solemnly. “I know.”
Although he was proud and arrogant, he didn’t slight his opponents.
It was the main reason for his continuous victories.
Just then, as a shooter born with acute intuition, Cruff sensed a strange gaze upon him.
He turned around and looked over, feeling a slight discomfort. It turned out it was a Chinese girl eating cake in the center of the room.
Cruff couldn’t be sure if she were Chinese, but he had a feeling she was one.
Westerners couldn’t tell Asians apart.
But in Cruff’s eyes, this Chinese girl’s facial features were exquisite and made one feel at ease.
Such a girl should be considered a beauty according to the Chinese’s beauty standards?
Cruff’s judgment was pretty spot-on.
But that girl’s stare made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
With a smile on her face, she didn’t appear at all imposing.
However, she riveted her eyes upon Cruff. It was a scorching, fiery gaze that made one involuntarily shiver.
Cruff was familiar with such a gaze. That was because he had the same stare whenever he discovered a prey during hunting competitions. It was a feeling of excitement and thrill.
He didn’t feel that this Chinese girl was staring at him because she fancied him.
He was very sure that there wasn’t a hint of infatuation in her eyes.
After Cruff’s gaze met with hers directly for three seconds, the girl left the spot she was standing with a slice of cake in her hands.
But she didn’t leave in a dejected state, as though she had lost.
Cruff felt strange.
He asked his coach, “Is that girl from China or some other country?”
The coach looked in the direction he was showing and caught sight of Gu Qingjiu’s side profile.
After staring for approximately two seconds, the coach shook his head. “No impression. She probably came with an official from some country. Family member perhaps.”
The coach speculated.
Cruff’s intuition told him otherwise. “Could it be a participant from China?”
“No, no, no, you ought to have seen the list of participants from China this year. There isn’t a new girl on that list. Cruff, what you should do right now is to focus on preparing for tomorrow’s competition, instead of wasting your attention on random stuff.”
Cruff frowned.
Random stuff?
No, that didn’t feel like random stuff.
He always had faith in his intuition. Although this girl seemed non-threatening, she gave off a dangerous vibe.
When he looked over through the crowd, he realized the girl had already left the banquet.
The coach reached out and pulled Cruff. “Cruff, it’s time for us to leave. You’ve pretty much seen everyone you needed to see. You need to be well-rested for tomorrow’s competition to be in top form. That newbie from China will compete for the first time tomorrow. Your task is to deal him with a great blow. You wouldn’t want any accidents to happen, do you?”
Cruff immediately nodded and left with his coach after hearing those words.
