Qin Jinhai noticed Hu Yao's change and glanced at the jumbotron; the corners of his mouth, hidden behind his mask, couldn't help but curve upward.
She was just too cute.
Provocative in a direct and open way.
She could play dirty, but she preferred to plot in the open.
A face-to-face challenge was her style; she considered it a loss if she resorted to backhanded tactics.
As ten o'clock approached, the announcer's voice came over the broadcast system.
"The competition will start promptly in ten minutes. The rules are the same as in previous competitions. After multiple discussions, the organizing committee has decided that this competition will be broadcast live globally. The host country will have two filming teams; other countries are permitted only one filming team in the arena. Please take note."
The announcer repeated the message in ten languages.
After her announcement, the competition officially began.
