Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Fear (2 chapters in one)

“Hahahaha, don’t force yourself, hahaha! Chef Clarke’s words, they hit so hard!”

“The contrast among the judges this round is hilarious! Chef Rosaline Parker looks so gorgeous but turns out to have such a temper. Chef Clarke seems so gentle when making comments normally, but who would have thought she has such a poisonous tongue.”

Iris Doone really felt the burn on her face.

Hunter Clarke then said, “I don’t know about others, but my vote goes to Cindy Clarke.”

Rosaline Parker followed closely, “My vote also goes to Cindy Clarke.”

The two female judges among the five were the most decisive and straightforward.

They didn’t drag their feet at all and clearly stated their pick.

Cindy Clarke ignored Iris Doone and thanked Hunter Clarke and Rosaline Parker.

Michael Greene couldn’t help but smile; these two were still as impatient as ever.

But, the evaluation was almost finished anyway.

Since Hunter Clarke and Rosaline Parker had cast their votes, there was no need for the rest of them to say more.

“My vote also goes to Cindy Clarke.” Michael Greene said.

Charles Dean immediately followed, “I also choose Cindy Clarke. Her cuisine today is outstanding. We have only tasted to the sixth group, and there are competitors’ cuisines not yet tasted, so it’s hard to say definitively. But so far, I believe, Cindy Clarke’s cuisine is the best.”

This evaluation was already excellent!

After all, there were still people from under Pingla Academy among the previous groups!

And they were not just ordinary people.

They were Parker Honi and Aiden Huxley, ranked first and third respectively!

Since the auditions, Cindy Clarke had been continuously acclaimed as the First Person under Pingla Corp.

This was because people from the under Pingla Academy scored higher.

No matter how outstanding Cindy Clarke was, she was always deemed inferior to the people of under Pingla Academy from the outside world.

In the last competition, the under Pingla Academy consolidated its advantage from the auditions and abstained from participating.

Even though Cindy Clarke obtained first place, people still believed that those from under Pingla Academy were superior.

And now, Parker Honi and Aiden Huxley had already competed earlier.

Even after tasting their cuisines, Charles Dean still declared that Cindy Clarke’s dish was the best so far.

Didn’t that mean that Cindy Clarke’s dish today was better than Parker Honi and Aiden Huxley?

Parker Honi, he is this year’s number one from Pingla!

The evaluation of Cindy Clarke by Charles Dean could be regarded as extremely high!

Meanwhile, Iris Doone was utterly trampled underfoot, losing even the qualification to be compared with Cindy Clarke.

It was originally just a PK between Cindy Clarke and her.

But now, Cindy Clarke has surpassed even Parker Honi. Iris Doone paled in comparison.

Cindy Clarke, hearing such high praise, remained neither arrogant nor hot-headed.

Her face showed continuous confidence that had not changed at any point.

She did not look the slightest bit proud or gratified by Charles Dean’s evaluation.

Unsurprisingly, Wesley Gordon also said, “I am voting for Cindy Clarke. Your cuisine today is truly excellent. I fully agree with what Charles Dean said. So far, your cuisine is the best of all. It would just be a question whether anyone else would surpass you.”

“Thank you, Chef.” Cindy Clarke said.

Upon hearing this, the contestants stirred into chatter.

“What do the judges mean by this? Cindy Clarke’s cuisine even surpassed Parker Honi?” questioned Kai Dawson.

Kai Dawson was competing directly with Parker Honi.

In that round, he was utterly crushed by Parker Honi.

He thought Parker Honi’s dish was already impressive.

But what did it mean if the judges said that Cindy Clarke’s cuisine was better than Parker Honi’s?

The same question also appeared in the minds of contestants who had been eliminated in the first five rounds.

Their opponents were already formidable. Could Cindy Clarke’s cuisine be even better?

Daniel Vahn quietly asked Parker Honi, “Hey, Honi, did you not try your best because your opponent was too weak?”

Parker Honi gave him a glance and gritted his teeth, “I respect every opponent. Even the weakest opponent will see my full strength.”

“Translating that means Honi enjoys the pleasure of crushing his opponents. The more thoroughly he crushes them, the happier he is.” Cynthia Florine opened a nail polish bottle, commenting while polishing her nails.

Because during the competition, their hands have to remain clean.

So, they can’t wear nail polish.

Therefore, before the competition, Cynthia Florine always removed her nail polish.

Now, all three of them had finished their competition and all had won their PK battles.

So, they returned to their seats under the advancement stage to rest.

Cynthia Florine, having nothing better to do, began reapplying her nail polish.

Daniel Vahn took a deep breath, “So, the judges think that the cuisine that Cindy Clarke made today is better than yours!”

Parker Honi:

Parker Honi shot him an annoyed look, “I heard what the judges said, you don’t need to repeat it.”

Parker Honi felt that his position as Pingla No.1 was being challenged.

Cindy Clarke was even more outstanding today.

He did not doubt the judges’ decision at all.

Especially when two of the judges thought so.

The other three didn’t comment, but he saw them nodding earlier.

“Hey, no worries.” Daniel Vahn said, “Cynthia Florine and I also got surpassed by Cindy Clarke.”

They were all successful PK competitors.

So far, if Cindy Clarke was the best, didn’t that mean she surpassed all of them?

Cynthia Florine blew on her nails, “I didn’t expect Cindy Clarke to progress so quickly. During the auditions, she ranked 11th, but today she surpassed us.”

“However, I didn’t try my best.” Daniel Vahn tried to recover some dignity, “My opponent was so weak, I had to save some strength, couldn’t let everyone see through me.”

Cynthia Florine chuckled, “Are you afraid of those competitors?”

“Of course I’m not worried about them, it’s you I’m worried about.” Daniel Vahn said, “In my eyes, my competition only includes you guys.”

The ten of them from under Pingla Academy almost all had the same idea.

They viewed this Cooking Competition as an internal competition.

None of them paid any attention to the other contestants.

Although the rankings from the audition rounds had been announced.

But no one accepted the outcomes.

Even Parker Honi didn’t garner the respect of all.

All of them were determined to surpass the ones in front.

Only after the major competition, with a comprehensive evaluation of each of their performances, would the final ranks of their group be determined.

Although they had participated in countless competitions both big and small at Pingla Academy.

No other competition afforded such a perfect opportunity like this Cooking Competition.

After all, this was an opportunity to showcase their skills to all the audience.

No matter how well they normally performed in school, it was always just an internal affair.

Who outside of the school knew about them?

This time, it was really an opportunity for them to gain fame.
