“Chef Woods, what do you mean by what you said just now? You lost to Mr. Yard a month ago? That seems a bit different from what you said some time ago! Can you give me an explanation of what’s actually going on?” “That’s right, Chef Woods. Since you’ve now admitted that you lost to Mr. Yard in the past, is it equivalent to an indirect admittance that you were lying? You must’ve been banished from The Serenade purely because of your character.” “That’s right. Chef Woods, can you express your opinion on this matter?” Hayden’s brain was already addled, but now that all these questions were being thrown at him, he didn’t know what to do, so he could only stay there in a daze. Christopher smiled. He didn’t expect that Hayden would blurt out the truth like this, but this was fine as well, as it saved him a lot of trouble. There was no need to compare their culinary skills anymore. With Hayden’s current state, whether or not he could hold a spoon was already a question, let alone cook. One thing worth mentioning was that no one expected this cooking competition, which had been a hot topic on the Internet for more than a week, to end in such a comical manner. However, although the sequence of events was contrived, it was full of excitement. This was exactly what these reporters wanted. It was believed that tomorrow, all the major food magazines and food-related online forums would report news about this. By then, all the dirt on The Serenade would be washed away. As for Hayden, he would most likely have to retire from Brentwood City’s culinary industry. Right now, those reporters were desperately pursuing Hayden. None of them were questioning Christopher. Taking advantage of this, Christopher hurriedly kept his four century-old Unique Cookware in the Parallel Universe Kitchen Appliance and Storage Bag before he walked toward Luna and Scarlett, who had already stood up from their seats. “Let’s go now!” he urged. “When these reporters come back to their senses, we’ll be in trouble if they want to interview us.” He didn’t want to be surrounded by a group of reporters and be asked endless questions. Obviously, he didn’t want the reporters to complicate the situation. After hearing Christopher’s words, the two women nodded and walked toward the entrance of the restaurant. … In Luna’s rose-red Porsche, Christopher and Scarlett sat in the backseat while the domineering female president drove. However, what made Christopher a little uneasy was that, not only was Scarlett giving him a weird look, even Luna was casting puzzled glances at him through the rearview mirror from time to time. “Ladies, don’t look at me like that!” Christopher said with a forced laugh. “If both of you have something to say, can’t you just say it?” “Tell us! Where did your four century-old Unique Cookware come from?” Scarlett asked unabashedly while Luna gave Christopher an inquisitive look. It was obvious that she was also rather interested in this matter. Century-old Unique Cookware were already rare, so for four pieces to appear simultaneously was an even rarer occurrence. If an old and experienced chef who didn’t even have a fifty-year-old Unique Cookware knew about this, they would be so irritated that they might see red.This was indeed a puzzling question. A line cook who was only in his twenties actually owned four century-old Unique Cookware. They wouldn’t have believed it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes. But they want an explanation? How do I explain it? Christopher felt that no matter what he said, he wouldn’t be able to properly explain the origin of these four century-old Unique Cookware. So, he simply stared out the window and pretended he didn’t hear anything. “I’m talking to you!” Scarlett said unhappily when she saw that Christopher was ignoring her. “Uh… about that…” Scarlett pursued desperately, but Christopher remained silent for a long while. “That’s enough, Scarlett.” Luna was still the more empathetic person. Seeing that Christopher didn’t want to say anything, she said, “Forget it. Stop asking. Since Chris doesn’t want to talk about it, you should just let it go. You need to change your habit of needing to know everything.” “Ms. Sears!” Scarlett’s tone was heavy. In fact, she really wanted to force Christopher to tell her the origin of those four Unique Cookware, but Luna had spoken, so it wouldn’t do Scarlett any good to continue asking. She could only pout angrily before turning away to face the other side. “Chris, I must remind you that a lot of attention is put into the maintenance and storage of century-old Unique Cookware. Putting them in sacks like this isn’t the right way. I think there is relevant information on the Internet. You can check them out.” If Luna was being honest, she couldn’t quite wrap her head around it. Which other chef would place century-old Unique Cookware in a rag sack like Christopher did? She didn’t know what to say about Christopher’s behavior, so she could only give him a little advice. “All right, Ms. Sears.” Clearly, Christopher wouldn’t say that this rag sack was, in fact, the Parallel Universe Kitchen Appliance and Storage Pack that created the four Unique Cookware, so he just gave her a brief answer. After returning to The Serenade, the staff who were standing outside waiting for the result quickly surrounded them. “How did it go, Ms. Sears? What’s the result of the competition?” Many of them asked eagerly. Luna simply smiled and nodded, but said nothing. However, although she wasn’t speaking, they could discern the outcome from their smiling expressions.“We won! That’s great!” someone exclaimed while pumping their fists. Although they had the utmost confidence in Christopher, they were still slightly nervous. Anything could’ve happened, so they were actually a little worried about the result of the competition. But now, when they saw Luna nod, the heavy weight in their hearts lifted. That night, in order to celebrate Christopher’s victory, the employees of The Serenade got together to have a long celebration. It wasn’t until around 3.00AM that Christopher returned home. When Christopher was lying asleep on the bed, food forums started to make a lot of noise on the Internet. Obviously, there were reporters who had posted everything that happened today on the web. In no time, Hayden’s nasty side was exposed, and at the same time, the voices questioning The Serenade and Christopher disappeared. In addition to feeling ashamed of Hayden’s character, the other thing that people were enthusiastically discussing was Christopher’s four century-old Unique Cookware. Because century-old Unique Cookware was too valuable, several nosy netizens began to speculate about Christopher’s identity. At first, although some inferences were outrageous, some were still acceptable. But, later on, they became more and more groundless, and some even went as far as to say that Christopher was actually the ‘saint of cooks’ from a hundred years ago, and that he was a descendant of Charles Yard, which was why both of their last names were Yard. Charles Yard! After all these years, he was the only person who was worthy of the title ‘saint of cooks’. No one knew how Christopher would feel after seeing these comments. His parents were alive, and they were both respectable farmers. Now that he was being considered a descendant of the ‘saint of cooks’, he would probably be torn between laughter and tears after seeing those comments.
