249 The Second Round of the Tournament

"I've been watching you this whole time. You can't hide from me," said Gao Peng's voice. It was coming from one of the surveillance cameras he had installed in the training ground.

Da Zi finally determined where Gao Peng's voice was coming from.

"Gao Peng, let me explain—" said Da Zi, panicking.

"And how do you intend to do that?" asked Gao Peng coldly.

"I-I..." stammered Da Zi as it tried to think of a good excuse.

"I really like you!" it blurted.

Did you honestly think that would work on me? thought Gao Peng, frowning.

"I'll let this one slide," said Gao Peng. "Get all 10,000 sets done by today. I've got my eye on you."

Will Gao Peng really be looking at me all day? thought Da Zi. That doesn't sound very feasible.
