Chapter 640: Cruff’s Confidence

Before viewing the competition, Gu Qingjiu finally saw Yin Ruoyi and the rest.

The participants would meet at a banquet before the international competition started.

But because they each had strict dietary requirements, the banquet was a mere formality.

Many people attended and gathered, including the officials from the UK, US, and China. Yin Ruoyi and the rest were like monkeys in the zoo as the visitors viewed them.

At least that was what it looked like from Gu Qingjiu’s perspective.

Because this group of people was essential officials from various countries, and one couldn’t afford to offend them.

Gu Qingjiu finally got to see the participants from the other countries.

Honestly, one couldn’t see anything wrong just based on appearance alone. But Gu Qingjiu noticed a participant standing with Yin Ruoyi, and this man gave off an exceptional quality yet didn’t appear striking.

It was an ordinary American man with fair skin, a face full of freckles, and regular facial features.

However, there was a determined and arrogant smile at the corner of his lips.

He riveted his gaze upon Yin Ruoyi of China throughout.

Gu Qingjiu could right away guess who this American man was—he was likely that legendary ‘Chameleon’ Cruff from the US.

At the sight of Cruff, Gu Qingjiu’s lips indistinctly arched in a smile.

She quite enjoyed competing against such highly skilled opponents in a competition arena.

Although she might not have sufficient capabilities for now, Gu Qingjiu believed that one day she would stand upon that position alongside the world.

Yin Ruoyi was the most significant focal point at this banquet.

It was because he bore the reputation of ‘genius from China’ and represented China this year. Although he wasn’t the only participant from China, he was undoubtedly the most outstanding one.

Yin Ruoyi paid no heed to the gazes of those officials sizing him up, and he merely quietly pondered something.

He completely ignored Cruff’s challenging gaze as well.

He was quiet and calm.

All of a sudden, he sensed something. When he looked up, he saw Gu Qingjiu sizing them up as she ate the delicacies at the banquet with no qualms.

Strictly speaking, Gu Qingjiu was Yin Ruoyi’s junior.

When he caught sight of Gu Qingjiu’s unperturbed expression, for some reason, he revealed a smile at her.

Gu Qingjiu froze for a moment before nodding at him.

Cruff from the US was paying attention to Yin Ruoyi’s situation all along.

When he saw Yin Ruoyi, Cruff lowered his voice and asked his coach, “Is this guy really the trump card from the China team?”

“I’m not sure.”

The coach appeared to be in deep thought. “The Chinese have always been cunning. If they let out false news, you might miss out on other people by placing all your attention on this Yin Ruoyi.”

Cruff replied nonchalantly, “Oh please. You saw it too. This year, other than this Yin Ruoyi, they didn’t send out any new players. I know the capabilities of all these other participants from China. How could they possibly pose a threat to me?”

Cruff, who had won the championship once, naturally had the confidence to say something like this.

Because in the previous international shooting competition, he had defeated every one of them.

“Cruff, there’s a Chinese saying that goes ‘Arrogance makes a person complacent.’” Don’t be blinded by one victory and think too highly of yourself. Don’t forget, China has always been a country that exceeds one’s expectations, even if they’re temporarily asleep. Don’t forget how pathetic a state we were in back when Sheng Ming was around.”
