Meg turned around, and was greeted by the sight of a middle-aged man in a pure white chef's suit.
He was of medium build, and had a head of short black hair that was neatly combed. He appeared to be around 40 years of age, and had a gentle appearance. He was also looking at Meg with a smile on his face.
"That's Head Chef Beate from Ducas Restaurant, right?"
"The head chef of Ducas Restaurant is challenging Meg to a cooking duel? He's most likely going to turn him down right away. "
"I think the head chef came at the perfect time. He should teach this guy a lesson for putting his hand on Young Mistress Gloria's back!"
Many people began to whisper among themselves upon seeing this, while some of the men were gloating over Beate's misfortune.
"He's also a chef?" Camilla was looking at Meg with a hint of surprise on her face. The black cat poked its head out of her lap, and took a glance at Ugly Duckling and Amy before immediately withdrawing its head back into her lap.
Gloria was looking at Meg with a concerned expression. She knew that Meg's cooking skills were the best, but Head Chef Beate was the most renowned chef in Chaos City, and he was the main reason why Ducas Restaurant had always been number one on the Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square food competition.
Hill swirled a tall glass of red wine in his hand as he looked at Meg with a smile on his face. He then glanced at Gloria, speculating about the relationship between the two of them. At the same time, he was also curious as to how Meg was going to respond to Beate's challenge.
"Is Father going to win another big house?" Amy's eyes lit up as she looked at Meg with anticipation in her eyes.
"Are you that confident that Mr. Mak will win? He's the head chef of Ducas Restaurant; that owner of Ricky's Rotisserie is no match for him, "Vivian said with a smile.
"Then who do you think will win, Big Sister Vivian?" Amy asked as she looked up at Vivian.
Vivian considered this seriously before replying in a firm voice, "Mr. Mak."
"You two." Luna shook her head with an amused expression. She was also looking at Meg with concern in her eyes.
No one seemed to have thought that Meg would refuse.
"Are you the head chef in charge of tonight's banquet?" Meg looked at Beate and asked.
"Yes, I'm the head chef of Ducas Restaurant, Beate. I'm in charge of tonight's banquet." Beate nodded slightly.
"I'm sorry, but I'm here as a guest today, so I refuse your challenge." Meg smiled and shrugged.
With his character of not getting up early if there were no benefits, he had no interest in participating in this kind of spectator competition.
Moreover, if the head chef of Ducas Restaurant was not bored enough to challenge him to a duel, it was most likely that someone behind the scenes had instructed him to do so. He did not want to be toyed with by others.
He had just bought a high-class suit from the system today. It would be a loss if it got dirty.
"Ding! The system has issued a new mission: Host, please accept this challenge and defeat your opponent! If you succeed, you will receive a chance to enter the God of Cooking Promotion Lottery. If you fail, you will receive a fine of 10000 gold coins. "
At this moment, the System's voice suddenly sounded.
"F * ck! System, can you be a little more timely when issuing missions in the future?! I just turned him down, and you're issuing me a mission like this? Do you want to embarrass me? "Meg didn't think that the system would suddenly pop up again.
"The system's mission issuance is a completely independent process, so you cannot make any demands on the system's missions," the system replied in a calm voice.
"You win." Meg rolled his eyes.
"He turned him down?"
"That's normal. Is there a chef in Chaos City who is better than Head Chef Beate?"
"Don't underestimate Mr. Mak; his cooking is also very delicious."
All of the guests were discussing quietly among themselves. They had thought that they would be able to enjoy a good show, but it appeared that Meg didn't want to engage in a cooking duel with Beate.
"Looks like tonight's banquet is going to be very interesting," Michael said with a smile in the VIP seats.
"Head Chef Beate was quite concerned about Mr. Meg's attitude toward food, and it looks like he couldn't hold himself back in the end." The owner of Ducas Restaurant, Spatch, chuckled. As the vice-president of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, he also had a seat in the VIP seats.
"This competition is a good thing for both the Aden Square and the Aden Chamber of Commerce," Geoffrey said with a calm expression.
A hint of surprise appeared on Beate's face as he looked at Meg. He turned toward the VIP seats, upon which Spatch nodded slightly. The smile on his face faded, and a serious expression appeared on his face as he continued, "I heard from Mr. Meg that you're here to correct this world's definition of food. I want to know if your so-called correction is really correct."
"Using my food to define this world's food is what I think is correct." Mag looked at Beate. It appeared that this young and inexperienced head chef had indeed been instructed by someone to do all of this.
However, seeing as the mission had already been assigned, and this head chef wasn't going to let him off the hook, then he wasn't going to hold back.
"What if someone questions your correctness?" Beate looked into Meg's eyes with a hint of rage in his eyes. No chef had ever dared to speak to him in such an arrogant manner.
"I think I'll convince him." Meg smiled.
"If you're just going to say it, then I won't accept it." Beate shook his head.
"Ricky used a rotisserie to exchange for a duel with me; what have you prepared for me today, Head Chef Beate?" Meg asked with a smile as he unbuttoned a button on his shirt.
"I …" Beate's expression stiffened upon hearing this. Even though he was the head chef of Ducas Restaurant, Ducas Restaurant didn't belong to him, and he didn't own a restaurant like Ricky's Rotisserie under his name.
"If Boss Meg really wants to make a bet, then I'll bet the shop next to Ricky's Rotisserie on Head Chef Beate's behalf." Spatch rose to his feet with a smile, and said, "I am the owner of Ducas Restaurant, Spatch."
"Alright, then I'll bet Ricky's Rotisserie on Head Chef Beate's behalf." Meg looked at Spatch and nodded slightly before turning to Beate, and asked, "How do you plan to conduct this duel, Head Chef Beate?"
"I've heard that Mr. Meg is extremely proficient in the art of roast beef, and I've recently invented a new dish that uses beef as the main ingredient. Why don't we have a cooking duel using beef as the main ingredient? Mr. Meg, you can use all of the cooking utensils that I've brought with me, including the roasting rack, "Beate said as he looked at Meg.
"Beef? Are you serious?" Meg raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. This head chef sure was confident. He knew that Ricky had lost to his roast beef kebabs, yet he still dared to suggest using beef as the main ingredient for the duel. However, roast beef kebabs weren't the only things that he knew how to cook beef.
"Do you have any objections, Mr. Meg?" Beate asked.
