Chapter 31
Using His Phone?There was an unwritten rule in the culinary world that the chef had the final say in the kitchen. As a matter of fact, it was precisely because of this that Luna had initially agreed to Hayden's request to fire Christopher. After all, Christopher did work under Hayden and therefore Hayden had the right to. However, she did not expect that there was actually more to this situation than met the eye. As for Tina's work experience as the captain in the five-star hotel. Luna reckoned she would need to verify it further now."Ms Sears, I-"Luna's voice was not loud, but it exerted a force against Hayden.He opened his mouth as if trying to explain something, but he was immediately interrupted by her again. She said,"Enough.You don't have to say anymore. After all, the both of you were colleagues who have been working together for three years. There is absolutely no need to step out of bounds, and you should know when to stop. Forget the challenge: let's not stab people in

You're Not Just The Clown,This lottery system seemed pretty similar to the lotteries in many online games. He had reason to believe that there were great things to be drawn in this 'other' area-even the legendary suit that he had used on his character when he used to play online games in college was drawn from a lottery!There is only one chance. Heavens, I ask for your blessing, Christopher silently prayed.Gulping, he pressed the 'draw' button at once.Whoosh!The roulette began to turn and at the same time, Christopher's heart was beating like a drum in his chest. His breathing became rapid and his palms started to sweat.Those few seconds felt like years to Christopher. He swore in his twenty-plus years of living that he had never felt as nervous as he did right then.As the roulette began to slow down, he knew the results were about to come up. In an instant,he held his breath.Please!It was hard to say if it was because Christopher's life seemed too miserable after he was brok

You Better Win!At this point, the crowd fell into a stunned silence. As he used his dazzling Dual Wielding skill which seemed almost like a choreographed performance, everyone thought that Christopher's work should at least be of the same level as Hayden's ice toad. However, that didn't seem to be the case.A feeling, one that was indescribable, began to rise in their chests.Tina, on the other hand, had a look that said 'I knew it' as she watched the current situation unfold. Although she was not a chef nor did she know how to cook, she still at least had some idea of what looked good and what didn't. Dual Wielding my ass; what a joke! She thought.Between the two ice sculptures, one was a perfectly sculpted ice toad with extreme resemblance, while the other was merely a pitted egg without any discernible features-there seemed to be no need for comparisons. The results were obvious.Everyone present, too, felt that there was no longer any need to judge. However, Luna was the excepti

Line CookThis is it. I'm finished. Hayden's expression was grim as he heard Luna's response.Immediately, he knew things were about to go downhill.Hot?How did things turn out this way?Again and again. Hayden continued to question himself.How could this be?!Right. It's all because of Tina! As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he turned to look at Tina at once.His expression was filled with hatred and resentment.If it wasn't for her. Iwouldn't try to provoke Christopher in the first place, and if I didn't provoke him, today's situation would not unfold.And if this didn't happen, I wouldn't be forced to leave The Serenade, this was all because of her!The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In the next second, he raised his hand and slapped Tina's face hard.Slap! It was loud.The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the room and everyone heard it.Taken aback, Tina froze. The last thing she would have expected was for Hayden to slap her in front of everyone.Aft

Truth Juice"Well, if you don't say anything.I will have no choice but to assume that you've agreed."Seeing that Christopher hadn't responded for a long time, Luna said again,"Well, then, I'll inform the Human Resources department on your behalf .Go get busy!"After saying that, Luna seemed to really have something to deal with. She took out a document from a folder and began scanning through it.Without saying anything further, Christopher left the office after nodding slightly at Luna. He closed the door behind him gently. Once he left. Luna raised her head to double-check. In fact, there were no documents waiting for her to review. At once, she threw aside the documents and took out her mobile phone to make a call."Hi, big sis, what made you call?" As soon as the call connected, an adorable female voice came from the speaker. Judging from her tone, she was young."Big sis?" Hearing how this lady addressed her.she merely let out a chuckle."So I'm big sis to you now?""Well, not

Conflict[Truth Juice allows the consumer to only speak of the truth. Its effect lasts for 30 minutes. With pulps and fruit chunks, it is best consumed chilled."Those words were printed on the alloy can as the introduction of the Truth Juice.]"They even threw in something funny. But why isn't it something that gives you special skills of some sort?"Reading the introduction of the product. Christopher couldn't help but feel disappointed. The prize that he imagined was supposed to be on par with exclusive techniques like Dual Wielding. It's still better than nothing. At least that was how he consoled himself as he bagged the Truth Juice.Arriving at the station, he kept the juice well and put his phone into his pocket before alighting the public transport.The single apartment that he rented was located among a number of low-rise buildings which made up a residential area. In this area,there were all sorts of people, most of whom were in a similar situation as Christopher's; they were

Was He Possessed? "What do you want? Christopher said exasperatedly."Pay!" Sean wore an irritated expression before adding."You must pay back!"'Is he trying to blame it on me now?' Christopher thought to himself as he frowned.He was unsure whether or not he caused the button to fall off, but Versace?You must be joking!Although Christopher didn't have the luxury to wear clothes from that brand, he had seen Luna wearing it various times. Anyone could tell that from the fabric and quality that Sean's shirt was highly likely counterfeit products that were often sold in roadside stalls. 200 bucks was the ceiling price for it. Moreover, people who could afford to wear such luxurious brands wouldn't bother about such petty issues.Unwilling to argue with Sean, Christopher simply brushed past him, wanting to walk away.Just as he attempted to do so, Sean grabbed Christopher's collar before saying,"Hey,are you trying to escape?""Listen up you punk! You must pay me back today. Otherwi

I've Memorized You'After those words rolled off Sean's tongue. he was on the brink of tears.'Why can't I control my own mouth?! Why can't I control it?! Stop spilling the beans!'When Christopher heard Sean's confession about his sexual disease, he couldn't help himself and laughed out loud.It was unexpected that Sean, who seemed educated and refined with his glasses and all, was such a man.It took Christopher a solid two-minute to grudgingly stop laughing. Wiping off the tears at the corner of his eyes, he pointed at Samantha before he continued to ask."What's your relationship with this girl?"At once, Sean thought to himself, I'm doomed.At the same time, his heart dropped. Obviously, he did not want to answer Christopher's question, but it was beyond his control."There's no relationship between us, but Samantha's mother is a patient at our hospital.""Is she very sick?""It's quite severe. She's still in a coma as we speak.""Then can you help her?""No?"“Why?""That's beca

The last protege.In a room of clouds; five beings sat down and while four out of the five scowled with grimace on their faces, the fifth being echoed the hall with his laughter.“My protege sure is resourceful. He made good use of the truth serum. Hahahahah!”“And they say I cheated by giving my protege the Ophelus system of wealth. Alkoli, you're a real cheat! Not only did you choose a living person in this timeline, but you even gave him a system.”“I still believe Ren Davis has a chance to soar to the top. I just know it.”Let's see if you'll still be hopeful when you see my chosen protege; The Ghost of Elisium, Michaelis.”*“Ghost, can you hear me?”Michaelis heard the voice of a teenage girl through his earpiece.“Loud and clear, pink.” Michaelis said while adjusting the tie looking at the mirror. A handsome young man of late twenties stared back at him.“I do look good.” Michaelis grinned at his reflection.“What was that, Ghost?”“Nothing. Has the target entered the building

A new life.“What the hell!?”Michaelis was so confused and everywhere he turned, he could only see the color white like he was caged in a white box. “What's happening?” He slapped his face but he didn't feel any pain. “Huh?”He knew he should have felt something as he tried to slap himself again but his palm went right through him. “It can't be, just relax.”Realizing something's very wrong, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, and opened them again. But even then, nothing was changed.“Am I dead? What was that voice I heard earlier?” he was trained to remain calm in any situation as panicking would only make things worse in his line of work. Yet, no matter how hard he tried to calm and simply make sense out of this situation, he simply couldn't.“Am I drugged? No, my watch would have indicated if there were any unknown substance in my blood.” As he said, he lifted his wrist to look at his watch but his Rolex was nowhere to be found on his wrist, and in fact, he was naked.
