Chapter 101: The Flavors Of Asia
After the brief break, the lights darkened again. The screens flickered in once again , replacing the last round’s homegrown flavors with a vast golden map of Asia, glowing like a living tapestry.Entity returned to the stage, microphone in hand, her dress now changed.She now wore a deep crimson silk with gold embroidery, echoing the new theme. “Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen!” she said, her voice full of glimmering energy. “That was Heart Of Home — and now we step into Round Two: The Flavors of Asia!”The crowd cheered happily. “For this round,” she announced, “all our chefs will prepare the same dish — a challenge that will test not just their creativity, but their soul. One meal. One interpretation. No excuses.”The audience leaned forward. The big screen behind her flickered, then revealed the name in golden script:‘The Emperor’s Harmony.’Gasps rippled through the hall.Entity grinned. “Ah, yes… The Emperor’s Harmony. An ancient Asian dish once served only to emperors and
Chapter 100: Round 1
The lights dimmed just enough for the judges’ table to glow under a soft, focused beam. The chatter died down. You could hear the click of pens, the rustle of chef coats, the faint sounds of camera drones hovering overhead.Entity’s voice came, sweet and sharp like a blade wrapped in honey.“And now,” she said, “the moment we’ve all been waiting for — the tasting.”Cameras adjusted instantly. Every lens pointed toward the judges.Dr. Raymond Chu, calm and unreadable, led the procession, his silver hair glowing like frost under the spotlights. Behind him came Chef Lucia Bianchi, her eyes already narrowed, searching for flaws before she even sat down. Pierre Durant, Lady Henrietta, and Kenji Sato followed, forming the perfect line of scrutiny and prestige.The room held its breath.The first table: Chef Dorovan.He stood tall, his hands clasped behind his back like a general awaiting his medal. The judges approached, and the cameras zoomed in on his New York Prime Filet.Even before the

The gong faded, and the entire hall moved as if struck by lightning.Chefs darted into motion — flames flaring, pans clattering, assistants scurrying with trays stacked high with spices, meats, vegetables, and butter so fresh it still smelled like morning. The sound was chaos, yet somehow organized — the beautiful kind of madness that only kitchens understand.The Diamond Mirage had never looked so alive. Seven stations gleamed under golden light, each framed by massive screens projecting close-ups of the chefs’ hands, the ingredients, and the smoke curling from their pots.Entity’s voice floated over the speakers, rich with energy.“Remember, everyone — each chef will be judged on five key points: composure, cleanliness, knife skills, showmanship, and finally — the soul of it all — taste!”Applause thundered, and the judges leaned forward at their tables, notebooks open, eyes sharp.Chef Dorovan was the first to make noise — a loud, confident clang of steel on marble. He grinned, tur

The hall buzzed like a marketplace dressed in diamonds. Lights shifted across the crowd as the voting screens came alive. It wasn’t just a contest anymore — it was betting. People laughed, shouted, and flashed their phones, scanning the giant QR code projected above the stage. The votes were money — real, heavy money — pouring in from men and women who treated thousands like pocket change.Entity’s voice, bright and teasing, carried through the speakers.“Come on, ladies and gentlemen! You’ve got ten minutes to back your champion! Who’s taking the crown tonight?”The air changed. The wealthy became wild.Screens blinked. Laughter mixed with tension. Waiters had to weave through the crowd holding trays of champagne while people barked at their phones, arguing over which chef would rise, which would crumble.The numbers on the digital board began to dance.Dorovan Altere — $20,000Dorovan Altere — $42,000Dorovan Altere — $67,000Every refresh made the room shake.Ruth leaned back at h
Chapter 97: Mocked
And Vanessa?Vanessa sat a few tables away, beside Bobby, pretending not to look.But when Adrian turned and their eyes met, it felt like the world around her went quiet.And in that instant, Vanessa saw everything she didn’t want to see.She saw a man she had underestimated — the man she once called a failure, a house-husband, a nobody. But he was standing there now, at the world’s biggest culinary stage, in front of 1,200 people and every live camera in the room.Something inside her twisted.Why does he always come back stronger?She hated it — hated that she couldn’t stop looking at him.Bobby noticed and shifted in his seat, pretending to be casual but squeezing his wine glass a little too tight. “Don’t look at him,” he said through his teeth.Vanessa snapped back. “I wasn’t.”He chuckled without humor. “Sure.”But even as she looked away, she could still feel Adrian’s presence, like a ghost that refused to leave.Helen waved from the front row, smiling with genuine pride. Her ey
Chapter 96: Ignored
The hall had gone quiet again. The soft music faded away until all that was left was the sound of camera shutters clicking and the faint hum of whispers traveling like wind through a forest.Adrian walked onto the stage. Slowly. Calmly. His expression was indecipherable.Each step he took echoed faintly against the floor was like a rhythm that somehow silenced the laughter that had started moments before. The lights above him were golden and warm, but they made the air feel heavier and hotter. Every pair of eyes in that massive hall turned toward him — the new guy, the nobody, the man nobody had ever heard of.Phones rose in the air like a sea of small lights. Some guests zoomed in to see his face better. Some turned to their partners and whispered things like—“Who’s that?”“Never seen him before.”“He’s representing what kitchen?”“Mr. Lin’s… Corner Kitchen? What the hell is a ‘Lin Keeshin’?”A group of young influencers laughed loudly, already typing into their phones. #WhoIsThisG
