"Father, I'm back." Amy's voice came from outside the door.
Meg opened the door and smiled at Amy, who was wearing a little magician's robe and carrying a small backpack, as well as Daphne and Ignatsu, who were standing beside her.
"Hello, Uncle." Daphne and Ignatsu looked at Meg at the same time.
"Daphne and Ignatsu are here too. Come on in." Meg smiled and stepped aside to let the three children in.
Amy skipped to the counter, took off her little backpack, and tiptoed to hang it on the hook on the wall. However, even when she tiptoed, her little hand was still about half a meter away from the hook.
Meg walked up with a smile, took the backpack from Amy, and hung it on the hook.
"Father, we want to eat strawberry ice cream." Amy looked up at Meg expectantly.
"What flavor do you want to eat?" Meg asked Daphne and Ignatsu.
"I want to eat blueberry ice cream." Daphne raised her little hand.
"I want to eat … chocolate ice cream," Ignatsu said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, go wash your hands first. Uncle will make it for you." Meg nodded with a smile and walked toward the kitchen.
Amy picked up a little stool and led the two children to the sink to wash their hands.
"Then we'll go upstairs to play." Amy took the ice cream and led Daphne and Ignatsu upstairs.
"What should I prepare for the three children tonight?" Meg murmured to himself. Amy liked to invite her children home to play, and Meg was naturally very supportive of that. After all, it was very cold outside in winter, and there were so many toys in the amusement park upstairs. It was a paradise for children.
After everyone finished eating, the bell outside the door rang.
"Customers who don't know the rules?" Meg stood up and walked towards the door. The opening hours had not yet started, so customers generally would not knock on the door at this time.
Meg opened the door and looked at the tall and strong young man at the door. He said, "Business hours haven't started yet. If you want to eat, please line up at the back."
"I'm not here to eat." That young man shook his head. He took out a folded piece of black-and-gold paper, and passed it to Meg. "I am Chapman. My master, Harris, heard that you are the most famous chef in Chaos City, so he would like to issue you a culinary challenge. This is the letter of challenge. I hope you can accept it and accept the challenge."
"Harris?" Meg raised an eyebrow as he looked at the letter of challenge in his hand. Ever since he defeated the head chef of Ducas Restaurant and ascended to the top of Chaos City's chefs' world, he hadn't been challenged for a while. However, he didn't know who his opponent was, so he didn't want to waste his time on meaningless things.
"Harris! Could it be the legendary Invincible God of Cookery, Harris, who has been challenging over 100 famous chefs consecutively without losing a single battle?! "someone exclaimed from the customers in the line.
"It's really the Invincible God of Cookery? He actually came to Chaos City! "
"Mr. Mak versus the Invincible God of Cookery. This is simply a battle between gods!"
There was a commotion among the customers in the line. Some of the customers who knew Harris were very agitated.
Seems like he's a famous chef. Meg pondered after hearing what the customers said.
Chapman didn't become arrogant because of what the customers said. Instead, he looked at Meg, and explained, "Master respects every chef. The challenge is just to learn from each other. He hopes to improve his culinary skills through the duels with different chefs."
Meg flipped open that letter of challenge right away. The content was very simple. There were only three big words on it, and the time of the challenge: Tomorrow.
"This is interesting." Meg raised his eyebrows. This clean and neat style piqued his interest in that so-called Invincible God of Cookery. He kept the letter of challenge, and said to Chapman, "I accept this challenge. The time will be set at 10am tomorrow. The location will be at Mamy's entrance."
"Alright. I will pass on your message. I will be there on time tomorrow." Chapman nodded, and turned to leave.
Meg took the letter of challenge and went into the restaurant. He closed the door behind him.
"Mr. Mak really agreed! Seems like I have to take leave tomorrow morning. "
"The Invincible God of Cookery versus Mr. Mak. I feel like this duel is enough to be recorded in the history of foodies."
"Speaking of which, Mr. Mak has never been defeated before. So, who will be the final winner of this duel? This is really making me curious. "
The customers discussed excitedly.
Abraham looked at the agitated Vanessa curiously, and asked, "Is that Harris very powerful?"
"Uncle, you said you know everything about food. You don't even know about Master Harris. You're simply a unqualified foodie." Vanessa rolled her eyes with disdain. Then, she said as if she knew everything, "Master Harris was born in the Roth Empire. He became famous at a young age because he was good at cooking. He was invited by the dwarf chief to Issen Castle to be the head chef. He honed his culinary skills in the castle for 30 years. After that, he started to travel to all the races on the Norland Continent, and challenged those famous chefs.
"In the 10-odd years that he was traveling, he had defeated a total of 145 famous chefs from all the races. Almost all of them were the top chefs on the Norland Continent.
"The most impressive thing is that his culinary skills continued to improve during his travels and challenges. Very few people could taste the food that he made, but all the chefs that lost to him were convinced. "
"He's that good?!" Abraham's jaw dropped. He thought for a while, and said, "Then, how does Mr. Mak compare to him? Will he lose? "
"Among all the chefs that I've met, Mr. Mak is the best. However, I've never tasted Master Harris' dishes, so I don't know what the result would be if the two of them were to fight." Vanessa shook her head, and excitedly said, "Anyway, no matter what the result is, this would definitely be an exciting battle between the best!"
…
"Father, what's that in your hand?" Amy asked curiously.
"A letter of challenge." Meg walked to his seat with a smile, and opened the letter of challenge for everyone to see. "A chef issued a challenge to me, and I accepted it."
"Oh, another poor uncle is going to lose his shop?" Amy said pitifully.
"Perhaps there's an additional sum of money?" Yabemiya also said with a relaxed expression.
"I heard that the other party is a very good chef. Perhaps it's not that simple," Meg said with a smile as he kept the letter of challenge.
