CHAPTER 288
Adrian turned away, took Lilith’s hand, and walked calmly past Bernard, who was still writhing on the floor.As they stepped over him. The blood-stained champion looked up at Adrian with terror in his eyes.His career was completely over... Everything built in the last seven years was completely destroyed.All because of his arrogance.He no longer had the hands to even cook or do anything.... For the rest of his life, he will be known as a handicap.“Next time, don’t mock what you don’t understand.” Adrian's cold voice echoed in his ears.Lilith held the golden trophy high in her free hand, her lips curling into a triumphant smirk.She turned toward Sophia, who stood frozen among the crowd, pale and trembling.Lilith’s voice rang through the microphone, clear and mocking.“So, Miss Aldridge…” she said sweetly. “Who won?”Some of the audience began to laugh at Sophia.Sophia’s jaw tightened, her nails digging into her palms. She could barely breathe.Elena, standing beside her, burst
CHAPTER 287
Adrian ignored him completely. His focus was razor sharp, movements fluid and deliberate.“Now,” he murmured, “Singing Salt.”He sprinkled the last ingredient.... One of the finest salts.As soon as it touched the pan, a faint whistling sound filled the air. The laughter began to fade.People leaned forward. The smell that hit them was warm, rich, layered with something they could not describe.Bernard frowned, realizing the crowd had gone silent. “What the hell…” he muttered, turning to look.Adrian lifted the pan, flames curling like living light. His eyes glowed faintly red as he poured the contents onto the plate. The golden sauce spread perfectly across the meat.Then—ding!The timer stopped.The host stepped forward. “Time’s up! Judges, it’s time to decide the winner!”Bernard grinned confidently. “Prepare yourselves for perfection.”He presented his dish which was a beautifully arranged fusion platter, glowing under the spotlight. The judges tasted.They nodded. “Excellent bal

CHAPTER 286
Adrian stepped closer, his expression unreadable.“But if I win…” he said softly, “I’ll take something too.”Bernard smirked. “And what’s that?”Adrian’s voice dropped, deadly quiet.“The fingers you use to cook.”A hush fell over the crowd.The stakes were rising!Bernard’s grin faltered for just a second.If he lost his hand that would be the end of his career.But pride wouldn’t let him back down. “You’re insane,” he barked, forcing a laugh. “But fine! Let’s see what you’ve got, boy!”The audience exploded with cheers, and people began to bet online on who was going to win, Beth Adrisn and Bernard.Most people bet on Bernard.It was the bet that made sense.Who would bet on someone who has no history in cooking?No medals, no trophies, zero recognition.Just pure arrogance.It will be too easy for Benard to win.This was the most obvious bet that has been placed in centuries.The stage was set for the most dangerous cooking duel Silver City had ever seen.The crowd thundered with e
CHAPTER 285
The entire arena was still.Thousands of eyes watched as Adrian and Lilith stood quietly before the panel, the crowd chanting for their disqualification.Then the head judge, an old man with silver hair and a skeptical frown, raised his hand. “Enough.”The noise died instantly.He leaned forward, eyeing the strange, golden mixture that shimmered faintly on Lilith’s plate. “At least,” he said, “let us give them a chance. Let’s see what this… masterpiece of chaos tastes like.”The audience murmured. Cameras zoomed in.The judge lifted a fork, dipped it gently into the glowing sauce, and took a bite.For a moment his face was blank.Then his eyes widened. His hand trembled. “Impossible…”The other judges froze, watching him.He took another bite, then another, and suddenly he was laughing, tears forming at the corners of his eyes. “This… this is divine! Sweet thunder, gentle spice, light as breath! The flavor dances!”"It's a lie!" The second judge quickly took a taste. Then the third.G
CHAPTER 284
The arena erupted. Lilith and Sophia's eyes locked and they glared at each other Then Sophia smirked, stepping forward slightly so only Lilith could hear. “Enjoy the cheers while you can. You won’t survive the next round.” Lilith’s lips curved into a cold smile. “Don’t worry, darling,” she said softly. “You’ll be the one choking before the day ends.” The host’s voice boomed again, announcing the next round. The crowd went wild—“Aldridge vs. Ivanova! War of queens!” Backstage, Malvin watched the broadcast on a tablet, a sly grin on his lips. He had a plan of his own. Lilith started to marinate a rare steak. Sophia, backed by Elena, went for an old family roast recipe. The smell of herbs filled the arena. Five minutes in, Lilith’s stove began to spark. She frowned. “What’s happening?” Adrian, watching from behind the barrier, sensed something was wrong. The heat was too high. “Turn it off!” he shouted, but the sound was swallowed by the noise of the crowd. Flames burst fr
