Chapter 59 I’ll Be Back Soon

When Scarlett gritted her teeth, Luna was unusually bitter as well. A century-old Unique Cookware? Luna didn’t expect that Hayden would have a century-old Unique Cookware. Indeed, this was no longer a cooking competition. It could be said that Hayden had completely set up a trap in order to win the competition. Obviously, Hayden had planned everything ages ago. He was just waiting for Christopher to jump into his trap. She figured this was the reason why Hayden so readily agreed to have a rematch. “Chef Woods…” Besides Scarlett and Luna, the reporters who were excited about the competition and wanted to get a scoop also found that it was quite wrong for Hayden to use a century-old Unique Cookware during the competition. Someone asked, “Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?” “Inappropriate?” Hayden laughed. “What’s inappropriate about it? This competition only specified that the taste of the dish determines the winner. Were the contents and technique restricted? Since there’s no such thing, then there shouldn’t be a problem with using Unique Cookware to cook, right? Besides, if possible, Christopher can also cook with a century-old Unique Cookware! I don’t think it’s a problem.” Christopher could also cook with century-old Unique Cookware? Hayden’s statement sounded clever and light, but in fact, he was just using sophistry. A century-old Unique Cookware wasn’t an ordinary object that could be found anywhere on the streets. He only dared to make such unbridled remarks because he knew with absolute certainty that Christopher wouldn’t have a century-old Unique Cookware. Many chefs failed to find a century-old Unique Cookware even though they’d searched all their lives, so Hayden was obviously being a bully. Hayden seemed sure that he would win, as there was a prideful look on his face. Christopher, on the other hand, wasn’t the least bit disheartened because of the fact that he was about to lose the competition. On the contrary, he was grinning from ear to ear. Above all else, he could only describe Hayden’s behavior as stupid. What was the purpose of this cooking competition? It was to determine who had better culinary skills, so as to prove who was lying! But, now that you’re using this method of cooking with a century-old Unique Cookware that could almost be considered as cheating, what’s the point in competing? Can this prove that your culinary skills are better than mine?Can this prove that you were the victim? Therefore, Hayden’s actions were meaningless to Christopher. But, that's not the main point. The main point is that this is a competition that you could've won fair-and-square. Yet, you just had to use such tricks. Do you have a death wish? “If I have it, can I also cook with Unique Cookware?” In his mind, Christopher was smiling a little. He felt that if he didn’t pretend to be pretentious in response to Hayden’s statement, he would feel bad for the fool. Christopher could only say that God was helping him by giving him such a good opportunity. He wants to compete with me using Unique Cookware? Christopher reckoned Hayden was truly mentally ill. He wasn’t trying to pick on anyone; he just wanted to say that in this regard, everyone seated there was trash. “Chef Woods, your century-old Unique Cookware is rare. I surmise you already think you’d win this competition!” Christopher said. “What’s wrong? Do you want to admit defeat?” Hayden retorted smugly. He didn’t notice the extremely calm expression on Christopher’s face. “I’m not going to admit defeat. It’s just…” At this point, Christopher suddenly paused, then said, “Can I please leave for a short while? I’ll be back soon.” “Leave?” Hayden sneered. “Are you trying to delay the competition?” “Think whatever you want.” Christopher spread his arms and said indifferently, “I’ll be back in an hour.” “Hmph! All right. I’d like to see what tricks you’re going to use!” Hayden agreed to Christopher’s request with a cold snort and a wave of his hand, as if there was nothing for him to be afraid of. After shooting a nonchalant glance at Hayden’s century-old Unique Cookware that he regarded as a treasure, Christopher walked down from the stage. “Chris.” After Christopher walked down from the stage, Luna and Scarlett went to meet him. Judging from their expressions, he could tell that they were extremely worried. “Ms. Sears!” As opposed to the two worried women, Christopher was still smiling. “You're about to lose the competition, yet you're still smiling!” Scarlett couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw that Christopher wasn’t taking this competition seriously. How can he act like this? It has come to this point, but this b*stard still isn’t behaving properly. Although Luna was not as agitated as Scarlett, her furrowed brows never eased. Obviously, she was also dissatisfied with Christopher’s current behavior. “Ms. Sears, are you also worried about the result of today’s competition?” Christopher asked Luna with a raised brow. “Aren’t you?” Luna was puzzled, for she truly didn’t understand why Christopher was suddenly asking this question. “It’s not that I’m not worried. I just think that, since Hayden has brought out his century-old Unique Cookware, the outcome of this competition is no longer that important. So what if he wins, and so what if he loses? It seems like Hayden is a little more stupid than I thought.” As the saying went, those who were directly involved in a matter couldn’t see the big picture clearly, and the more one was concerned, the more messed up their mind would be. Luna cared too much about the outcome of the competition, which was why she didn’t notice the crux of the matter. Nevertheless, she was the female director who single-handedly pulled The Serenade back from the edge of death, after all. When she heard Christopher’s words, she quickly came to her senses. She was stunned at first, as if surprised that Christopher had clearly seen the crux of matter before she did. Then, Luna assessed Christopher with a look that Scarlett couldn’t comprehend and said, “It seems like that's really not that important anymore. If he wants to win this competition with a Unique Cookware, Hayden has indeed made a blunder!” “What do you mean it doesn’t matter what the result of the competition is? What are you talking about?” As she watched the two of them exchanging mysterious remarks, Scarlett couldn’t stand it anymore, so the questions escaped her mouth. She didn’t understand what the two of them were saying. Without answering Scarlett’s question, Luna said to Christopher, “Then what are your plans now? You can’t actually be delaying the competition by saying that you’re leaving for an hour!” For some reason, Luna found that she couldn’t quite read Christopher right now! “Of course not!” Christopher answered. “Although Hayden is stupid to have made such a move that rendered the result of the competition meaningless, I still need to win. Don’t you think the fat bald man looks really vile up on his high horse?” “He does look pretty vile indeed!” Luna said. “Then, your plan is… ” To keep them in suspense, Christopher didn’t reveal anything but simply stated, “Wait here. I’ll be back soon.” With that, he turned around and left.“Ms. Sears, what are you two talking about?” After Christopher left, Scarlett inquired again as she was utterly confused. Patting Scarlett’s head, Luna responded, “It’s nothing. Just wait quietly!” She was curious as well. What exactly does Christopher plan to do? On the other hand, Hayden still looked calm and relaxed. He had no idea that, when he took out his Unique Cookware, the scene that he had carefully planned out had turned completely meaningless. He was still dreaming of having The Serenade at the bottom of his feet after winning the competition. He was willing to wait for two hours, let alone an hour. After all, he wanted to see what Christopher was up to!
