“Look at my face. Haven’t you noticed yet?” Christopher asked Maya as he glanced at her with a smirk on his face. “What is it? Would I know what skill you used just by looking at your face?” She was stunned for a second before she pursed her lips, widened her eyes, and observed him from left to right. “Yeah, haven’t you noticed that I’m good-looking?” He took cheekiness to the extreme. “Do your looks have anything to do with your brilliant knife skills? Why didn’t Scarlett tell me about this?” Maya responded naively. “Yes. In fact, what I used just now was the ‘Unutterably Handsome Blade’. The more handsome a person is when he uses this skill, the more powerful he’ll be. Hence, that’s why I was so good just now,” said Christopher as he bragged with a straight face. Maya paused for a second before she reacted adorably. When she realized that she had been fooled by him, she snorted and said, “Huh? Hmph! Forget it if you don’t want to tell me.” As Christopher smiled faintly, he figured that he’d better not tell Maya the truth. Otherwise, Scarlett would come pestering him once she found out. By then, she would surely tease that he didn’t know anything about Divine Level Knife Skills and would ask him to demonstrate. Needless to say, he would certainly be frustrated if that happened. Since he knew that Maya was the lead role for ‘Glutton God’ and would not be as free as him, Christopher was about to leave when she stopped him. “Wait, Christopher. I’ll transfer you the money for this shoot later. Remember to check your phone,” reminded Maya after she rolled her eyes at him. “Okay, Roger that.” After giving her an ‘Okay’ gesture, he left with a smile. Moments later, a man dressed in the crew’s uniform while wearing glasses meticulously observed his surroundings. After confirming that nobody else was around him, he hastily hid under a tree. Following that, he took out his phone and swiped on the screen swiftly. The man looked around again and dialed a number once he made sure there weren’t any other footsteps or voices around him. At this moment, a stern-looking young man with a chef uniform was sauteeing some vegetables skillfully inside the kitchen of Caesars Palace. In his left hand was a finely-made stainless steel frying pan, and he was cooking a dish that looked attractive to the eye while appetizing to the taste. In his right hand was a spatula, and it was made of impressive quality as well. The person took a whiff of the dish’s aroma lightly and shook his head. At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. In an instant, he furrowed his brows. Nevertheless, he still put down the spatula and took out his phone with his right hand. When he saw the caller ID, the deep furrows in his forehead were somewhat reduced—that was because the caller would only ring him after the mission was completed. Immediately, he connected the call. “Did you get a video of Christopher?” the young man asked blandly. “C-Chef, I g-got it, and I’ve sent it to you. According to my observation, Christopher’s Knife Skills might have already reached the Divine Level…” the man with glasses whispered in a trembling voice, and cold sweat drenched his forehead all the while. He knew about the chef’s personality very well, and the latter would most likely be upset upon hearing this news. Once he felt unhappy, he would probably fire any one of his subordinates—any one of them! As soon as the young man heard this, the frying pan in his hand was thrown to the ground. Meanwhile, his face contorted as his left hand balled into a fist and his right hand clutched his phone tightly. It can’t be! A man younger than me shouldn’t have achieved Divine Level earlier than me! I’m the strongest! Christopher Yard has to die! The veins in his hands bulged. At the same time, a cold and murderous look quietly crept into his eyes. “Get Darksword on the move immediately. I don’t wish to see Christopher alive again,” ordered the young man coldly after taking a deep breath. “Chef, are you really going to deploy Darksword? Uh…” the man with glasses asked in a shock, and he almost lost his grip on his phone. Upon hearing his words, the young man fiercely stomped on the spatula at his feet and bellowed, “Get him right away! If not, you’ll be dead!” “Yes, sir!” responded the man with glasses as he shuddered. At this point, he knew that Christopher had indeed pissed the chef off. There was no turning back, and that was why the chef wanted Christopher dead. As he quivered, the man with glasses ended the call and noticed that his hands and back were drenched in sweat—even his right hand was still trembling. After all, no one knew who Darksword was better than he did. Darksword was the most powerful killer in Brentwood and was well-known for using the broadsword. His skills were utterly impressive, but he was extremely mysterious at the same time because no one knew which level he had reached. Rumors had it that Darksword never missed when he assassinated his targets. No matter the time or the venue, there was no one he couldn’t kill. As long as he confirmed his target, that person would surely end up dead within the shortest time frame. Currently, Darksword was hired by Caesars Palace’s owner to ensure the safety of the place and his chefs. All these years, Darksword had eliminated a lot of troubles for them. This Christopher actually has the nerve to piss the chef off. How daring of him! At this point, Christopher was pretty much a dead person to the man with glasses. Well, Christopher only has himself to blame. Why can’t he mind his own business? Why must he learn culinary? He even attracted the chef’s attention. Poor thing! … As Christopher was leisurely walking on the street, he took out his phone and focused closely on the Thumbs-Up System while his finger kept tapping the Thumbs-Up Online Mall. However, he felt somewhat helpless because he was only left with 70,000 thumbs-up points. There were tons of stuff in the mall that he couldn’t redeem! It looks like I’m going to have to learn more about cooking. This way, my thumbs-up points will definitely increase rapidly. When he thought about this, he nodded and felt assured. Just when he was about to take his next step, he felt that all his hairs were standing on their ends. At once, a chill rose from his feet and spread across his body. With that, he instinctively threw himself on the ground and rolled to the side with all his might. Even though the dust stained his face and shirt, he didn’t care at all. This was his body’s reflex toward danger, and this had never happened to him before. Presumably, it must be that every function in his body had grown stronger ever since he drank the Bone Broth Detox Soup. Swoosh! Suddenly, a sharp sword accompanied by a powerful strength fiercely struck toward the position that Christopher was in just now. Following that, a gust of wind swept across the street as it raged violently. Instantly, an explosion occurred at the place that was hit by the sword, and a deep hole was seen right after. “Holy f*ck, who the hell is that?” When he saw such a shocking scene, Christopher gasped as his pupils contracted. “You dodged? It looks like you’re a worthy opponent!” The one who attacked Christopher was none other than Darksword. At this moment, a glimmer of surprise flitted across his eyes because Christopher was the first to survive under his sword. However, not for long! There wasn’t even a shift in Darksword’s expression, for he was sure that he would eventually get rid of Christopher. After all, he had never missed a target. Therefore, he couldn’t care less about Christopher as he stood right before him. When he raised his head to look at the person in front of him, Christopher found that the person was wearing black from head to toe; only his eyes were exposed, and even the sword in his hand was black! With his overall black get-up, Christopher was unable to sense the slightest bit of radiance in him. In the meantime, Christopher felt a strong murderous intent that was charging right at him, and he felt greatly threatened by it. While he concentrated on his thoughts, a cleaver from his Parallel Universe Kitchen Appliance Pack appeared in his hand while it was behind his back. At once, a glimmer of cold ray radiated from the cleaver. At this point, he could only take his chances. Since Shutter Blade was one of the Divine Level Knife Skills, it wouldn’t be half as bad because it was literally ‘Divine’. He had redeemed it for 60 minutes earlier on, so he had 20 minutes left by now—it was more than enough. “Go to hell!” As Darksword exuded horrible killing intent, he then glanced at Christopher blandly. The next second, he swung his broadsword and dashed toward Christopher along with a gust of wind. At once, Christopher’s shirt rustled due to Darksword’s sword, and his hair was stirred by the breeze. A solemn look appeared on his face, and he could sense that this man in black was extraordinarily powerful. If this happened in the past, he wouldn’t be able to resist this strong man! Swoosh!At this instant, Christopher also made his move. While his cleaver slightly rotated, it gathered his strong murderous intent, causing it to buzz and tremble non-stop. The knife drew a remnant shadow all of a sudden, and he rushed toward the man in black at the same time. Following that, the two of them brushed past each other! “T-The Divine Level...” Darksword’s throat was slit in a flash, and blood slowly trickled down his neck. His eyes were wide, and they were filled with utter disbelief—it even seemed like he had died while bearing a grudge. With that, his body fell onto the ground with a plop. Simultaneously, Darksword’s breathing stopped. Ding! At the exact moment of Darksword’s death, an automated alert tone rang in Christopher’s mind. “Congratulations to the Host for killing a serial killer! You have obtained 100,000 thumbs-up points!” Ding! “Congratulations to the Host for killing a heinous person for the first time! Fire Skills Experience has increased by 100,000. Pet XP Boost has increased by 160,000. Fire Skill has leveled up from Beginner Level to Intermediate Level!” Ding! “Congratulations to the Host! Knife Skills Experience has increased by 100,000. Pet XP Boost has increased by 160,000. Knife Skills has leveled up from Beginner Level to Intermediate Level!” Ding! “Congratulations to the Host! Tasting Skills Experience has increased by 100,000. Pet XP Boost has increased by 160,000. Tasting Skills has leveled up from Beginner Level to Intermediate Level!” Ding! “Congratulations to the Host! Choosing Skills Experience has increased by 100,000. Pet XP Boost has increased by 160,000. Choosing Skills has leveled up from Beginner Level to Intermediate Level!” Upon hearing this, Christopher was stupefied as he remained in place and blinked his eyes sluggishly. Seconds later, he snapped out of his daze and grew ecstatic. Suddenly, he hopped and shouted two words, “Holy sh*t!”
