“That’s not all. You even went on to be eliminated by her. She won five points from hitting your forehead! Five points!”
“If this is the so-called retiring after three consecutive wins, and you’re still thinking of retiring in glory, then those trash from the political world are going to drown you in their saliva after you return home!”
The coach continued scolding him.
Cruff, a proud one, to begin with, didn’t feel good about suffering such a colossal defeat either.
He had already been suppressing rage in his heart due to the elimination. When he heard the five-points elimination, he flared up and rebutted, “Surely I couldn’t have anticipated such a situation? I’m not God!”
The coach scoffed and glanced at him. “Don’t you regard yourself as God all along?”
He had always thought of himself as being high-and-mighty, and in the end, he suffered such a nasty fall.
Rendered speechless by his coach’s words, the furious Cruff declared with hatred, “I want revenge! I want to continue taking part three years from now!”
“Stop disgracing yourself. That girl will be at her peak three years later. You, an over thirty-year-old person, going to fight her? I’m afraid you’ll suffer an even more humiliating defeat! Cruff, you have said before the competition that you’re going to retire after this regardless of whether you win or lose. The whole world knows about this. You may have no shame, but our country does!”
Although back then he had said that he would retire regardless of whether he won or lost, Cruff hadn’t thought there was a possibility of him losing at the time.
Now that it happened, it didn’t matter what he said, for it was too late.
The enraged Cruff smashed a stool in front of him.
Seeing Cruff in this manner, his coach let out a silent sneer.
He had a hunch about this early on, but he hadn’t expected that it had become a reality. Cruff would refuse to accept it.
The arrogant Cruff suffered a defeat as terrible in intensity as his arrogance.
This year, due to Cruff’s carelessness, their country’s ranking fell to the bottom.
The US was not going to be happy with them bringing back such a result.
Moreover, nowadays, people only cared about one’s current results. One just had to fail once, and others wouldn’t remember the contributions that person made in the past.
Furthermore, Cruff had been too arrogant all along and had offended too many people.
The coach could just imagine what sort of a treatment Cruff would receive once he returned.
Cruff’s face had already turned green from all that anger, and his entire body was shaking.
After venting the rage in his heart, the coach let out a sigh.
If only Cruff knew to show a little restraint, he wouldn’t have landed in such a state earlier on.
But it was precisely because he was unlucky.
To have run into that kryptonite!
“You think it over properly yourself. We’ll be going back to the US later.”
The coach said this before leaving.
Now that the US didn’t even make it to the top three, there wasn’t any need for them to stay any longer.
That remaining player from the US was a piece of trash.
This was also the sorrow of Cruff being the only powerful player on his team.
Once he got eliminated, it was game over for the US.
In the viewing room, as the end pressed nearer, although there was still some time left, the rest of the officials didn’t think anyone could rival Gu Qingjiu after she had eliminated Cruff.
In the end, that turned out to be the case.
Unlike in the previous years, after the competition ended, Gu Qingjiu and Yin Ruoyi didn’t encounter many other players on their way back.
All retaliation attacks were gathered in the center, towards the northern area.
And Gu Qingjiu and Yin Ruoyi were in the south.
After all, the forest was too massive, and it would take some time to walk over.
By the time the competition ended, China had the highest score of 38 points!!
Gu Qingjiu single handedly took down 28 points!
Twenty-eight points. Other than Sheng Ming back then, Gu Qingjiu’s score was ranked second-highest ever in history.
