Hearing the bell ring, Jack abandoned his intention to pour the sauce onto the plate and instead returned the pot to the stove.Then, he himself carried the large plate where the beef he had grilled earlier was placed to the main table.After that, Jack stood behind the table not far from the chefs. The chefs were at the left end of the table, while Jack was at the right end.As soon as the two plates were placed side by side, the difference in the appearance of the meat prepared by the two competing parties was very clear.The chefs' dishes looked perfectly cooked with a rich coating of spices and red sauce. With other compositions in just the right proportions neatly arranged on the plate, it was hard not to say that it was a masterpiece dish, one of the best that only people could exclusively get at the Blue Sky.Not long after that, Harry walked somewhat hastily from behind the curtain behind the platform and stood right in the middle between Jack and the chefs. As his gaze fell o

What came out of the woman's mouth made everyone present shocked."What? What did she just say?"They wondered if there was another implied meaning in the woman's words."This can't be possible, can it?" they muttered, as if unable to believe what they had just heard.However, upon seeing the expression on Lenora's face, they began to realize that what the woman said was indeed honest.Driven by curiosity, some guests sitting in the front row then rose from their seats and hurriedly walked towards the platform."Lenora, tell me you're not joking, right?" A man in his sixties wearing a black suit, who had been observing Lenora, couldn't hide his curiosity anymore."I'm not lying!" the woman said without lifting her face from the steak. "You can try it yourself!""Hufft!" The man took a deep breath and grabbed a knife and fork, wanting to prove the woman's words true. So did the middle-aged woman next to him.They cut the meat, which looked strange to them, and put the pieces into their

A few moments earlier."Jack, there's a much better way to get revenge!" That was the sentence uttered by Quantara just before Jack directed his fist towards Harry's face."What should I do?""Challenge him to a cooking duel!""Why challenge someone I'd have to destroy their face to cook? I'll beat him up right now!""Jack, you already have 90 points in the system! You just need ten more points to reach the next level!""I know! But I told you, I won't let anyone insult my mother, let alone threaten her to breathe freely! I can't help but feel like crushing him!""That's the point! Every time you're in a critical situation, the system will adjust the situation to your condition! If it's about saving someone's life then what you do can become a mission!""Are you saying that saving Matilda is the same as completing a mission?""Exactly! And if you manage to eliminate the threat to that woman, you'll earn an additional 10 points that will take you to the next level!""But why should I c

Matilda looked at her son, almost at a loss for words."Mom, is there something wrong?" Jack asked, smiling."No! I just don't know what else to say now! You make me so proud!" Matilda wiped tears from her eyes."You shouldn't make decisions too quickly, Mom!" Jack said, grinning in a way that was hard to interpret.What did he mean?"I want you to sign this paper!" Jack handed her the paper, smiling sincerely."Jack..." Matilda couldn't continue her words as the corners of her eyes welled up again.All she could do was hug her son."I know you've wanted to open a restaurant for a long time! And since I have some money, why not make it happen for you!"Matilda shook her head. "No! I don't want this! The restaurant will remain yours!""But, Mom...""No! Don't argue with me this time! You have to obey me!" Matilda showed a stern expression Jack had never seen before. "If I say this restaurant is yours, then nothing can change my decision!" she said, maintaining the same expression."Alr

Rat-tat-tat-tat!Bang-bang!The echoing sounds of gunfire continued for a few moments until Lenora raised her hand, gesturing for the shooters to hold their fire.Because Calder Manor was built of selected natural stone and fine wood, the sound of gunfire could not be heard from outside. This made it the perfect place for an execution."Check him!"Upon Lenora's command, ten black-clad men stationed at various points began to slowly move towards the front door.However, before they could move any further, screams rang out from one of them. "Aaargh!"A black-clad man fell to the ground."Aaargh!" Another one fell."Aargh!" Another voice echoed.Within seconds, more than half of them had been disabled.In the dark surroundings, they couldn't identify who had attacked them.They also couldn't use their weapons without clearly seeing their target. Otherwise, there was a good chance they would shoot one of their own comrades."Aargh!" Another soldier was disabled."Form a circle formation!
