The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker



Chapter 260: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 63

Although the vision of the audience for the professional chefs was blocked by curtains, their cheering still reverbs around the entire venue as they express their support for the ordinary contestants who are currently showcasing each of their different talents and styles in cooking.

This was purposely done by the ordinary contestants in order to get the attention of the judges and hope that they will increase their chances of getting accepted because of that.

Unfortunately, because this was scripted to be against the ordinary contestants, none of the Judges turned around to look.

Maria, Wesley, and Christopher continued conversing with each other as they haven't seen one another for a very long time ever since they came to the Slumbering Forest due to various different tasks assigned to them by Chief Kylo.

It was quite rare for three out of the six members of the Assembly Knights to gather together, so they planned to make the most of it.

Regardless, the ordinary contestants still tried their best.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the curtain was actually purposely suggested by Kayn in order to prevent anyone from seeing him add Undead Apples to the dishes.

With everyone's sight blocked from his cooking station, he was able to freely do anything that he wants.

"Done,"

"Done as well,"

Both Kayn and Gilbert were able to finish the fried chicken dish and the sweet and sour fish for both Maria and Wesley.

"So, what's the third dish?" Gilbert can't help asking as he doesn't have a single clue about what Christopher's favorite dish is.

"Very simple," Kayn grabbed two pieces of fried chicken before starting to chop them into really small pieces. After he was done so, he grabbed one of the sweet and sour fish and also did the same. Of course, he removed the bone.

"Don't tell me," Gilbert quickly realized what Kayn was doing. He slightly panicked and tried to stop the latter.

But it was already too late for Gilbert to stop Kayn as the latter already mixed the two different dishes together.

"Now," Kayn grabbed a few truffles and caviar that he had prepared before entering 'The Bridge previously. Albeit, he hadn't readied them specifically for this kind of occasion but rather for his personal use in case he misses the taste of food back on Earth, yet they serve a perfect use for this event.

"That…" Gilbert was in disbelief while looking at the food. "Are you perhaps planning to embarrass Christopher?"

"Yes,"

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

"He'll never know," Kayn confidently smiles. With truffles and caviar, any pretentious people would believe that they've tasted the best dish ever.

"Lastly," Kayn waves his hand, immediately taking out a bunch of edible gold. In a careful manner, he applied all of them to Christopher's dish in order to mask the combination of fish and chicken.

"You're insane," Gilbert muttered while already expressing his sympathy for Christopher. This man was definitely going to be in for a huge smack in the face.

After ten more minutes, Evelyn announces the end of the elimination round.

"Contestant, you may present your dish in front of the judges,"

As there were plenty of participants, all of them simply had to serve the dish they cooked in front of their cooking station and wait for the Judges to come and taste them.

Because Kayn and Gilbert's cooking station was located at the center, they had to wait for a bit of time before it was finally their turn.

"Fried chicken!" Maria exclaimed in excitement after seeing her favorite dish was served by her personal chefs, Nyak and Gilbert.

"You never changed, Maria," Wesley chuckled before turning his head to look at the dishes. In an instant, his eyes shone brightly as he laid his eyes on the sweet and sour fish. "This is for me?"

"Told you that my personal chefs were very special this time," Maria proudly puffed out her chest.

"You two are quite simple-minded," Christopher muttered before his eyes were attracted by the dish covered entirely with edible gold mixed with truffles and caviar.

"Who's simple-minded now," Maria rolled her eyes before chuckling. "Anyways, since my personal chefs prepared three dishes, why don't we pick the fried chicken first, then the sweet and sour fish, and lastly that, I don't know what it's called?"

"It is called Mashup," Kayn described.

Hearing the name, Gilbert can't help but hold himself from laughing. That's right, it is a mash-up of everything.

"Quite a weird name, but okay, I'll take it," Maria doesn't understand the reason for it, but it would be called whatever her personal chefs wanted.

In accordance with Maria's instructions, they began by sampling the fried chicken first.

In just one bite, both Wesley and Christopher understood why Maria picked these two to become her personal chefs.

The chicken was tender and juicy, and more importantly, the sauce they added to it fit perfectly well with everything.

Speaking about Maria, they saw her grabbing the rest of the fried chickens and stuffing them inside her small mouth. Surprisingly enough, they all fit inside.

"You really like it eh," Wesley was glad to see that Maria is enjoying the dish, since from the first contestant until the most recent one she didn't enjoy it the way he did.

"Let's go to the next dish," Maria excitedly uttered while the food was still in her mouth.

"Alright, alright," Wesley tried to make Maria calm down first.

Just like with the fried chicken, the sweet and sour fish was also delicious. Albeit, the former was obviously cooked in a special way compared to the latter. Needless to say, both Wesley and Christopher understood it considering that the two chefs were Maria's personal chefs.

Nevertheless, the sweet and sour fish passed their evaluation as well.

Now, it is time for the final dish called Mashup.

None of them know exactly the ingredients used for this dish since it was wrapped fully with edible gold, but they are all excited to taste it after being satisfied with both the fried chicken and sweet and sour fish.
