Chapter 533: Don’t Hit the Face When Beating Someone


    “If Cindy can be better than me, how weak must I be?” Larry Bet really didn’t think much of ke Walker, but he just didn’t want to say it out loud.


    And since ke’s skills seemed unimpressive, he was likely to be eliminated early anyway, so why bother arguing with him?


    Who knew that ke would have such dumb luck?


    Last time, many stronger contestants were eliminated.


    ke, on the other hand, advanced by some stroke of luck.


    If only he could keep a low profile, it wouldn’t be a big deal.


    But after Zoe Silverstone and Iris Doone left, he started barking non-stop.


    Doesn’t he know his own limits?


    And he has the audacity to question whether Cindy had any help?


    ke’s mouth moved, but he was at a loss for words.<div>


    It was his oversight; he had forgotten about the others.


    Cindy’s results had surpassed everyone else’s.


    Actually, thinking about it normally, what he said wasn’t entirely unreasonable.


    Others should be dissatisfied too, in theory.


    They have high skills but are being overshadowed by Cindy; how can anyone be content with that?


    Especially Parker Honi and his group.


    Although the majorpetition is not over, Parker has already been regarded as the champion in everyone’s hearts.


    He’s practically the top seed.


    But now he is being overshadowed by Cindy; can they ept that?


    The more confident one is, the less likely they believe someone can surpass them.


    Especially considering the strong abilities of Parker and his team.


    Logically, if he were to raise the topic, Parker and his team should also be discontented.


    But who would have thought that they’d be on Cindy’s side instead?


    ke had forgotten that everyone here, other than Yellen Brooks, had personally tasted Cindy’s cuisine.


    During the first round of thepetition, Natalie Campbell and Larry Bet, and the ten people from under Pin Academy all tasted Cindy’s cuisine.


    And they personally acknowledged it.


    In the second round, although they hadn’t tasted it,


    Just theplexity of the Yellow Croaker in soup demonstrated Cindy’s cooking skills.


    Even withoutparing it to anyone else’s, it was certainly not the “watered-down” cooking that ke imed.<div>


    With ke’s skills, what right does he have to call Cindy’s cooking that?


    “You’re right.” Surprisingly, it was Parker Honi who spoke up.


    Parker showed a rare look of appreciation: “Initially, we didn’t know you guys well, so we didn’t talk much. Didn’t expect you to be so good-natured, admitting when someone is more skilled.”


    Larry Bet: “…”<div>


    Though he was praised, Larry couldn’t quite feel happy listening to Parker’s words.


    Natalie Campbell’s mouth twitched as well.


    Unexpectedly, the rest of the contestants from Pin Academy also agreed with Parker’s words and nodded their heads one after another.


    Natalie Campbell: “…”


    Yellen Brooks thought to herself, were these people from Pin Academy too sheltered, only focusing on their culinary studies and not really experiencing the hardships of life?


    That’s why they didn’t seem to understand the intricacies of human rtionships.


    The things they said were too naive, straightforward, and unfiltered.


    However, even though they were like this, it made them seem adorable.


    These students from Pin Academy were different from what they had assumed.


    Initially, they thought that these students would be aloof due to their strong abilities, looking down on others.


    But as it turned out, these ten were just immature children.


    Yellen couldn’t help butugh.


    Cynthia Florine waved at Cindy and said, “Come over here and chat, Cindy. We got along pretty well during thestpetition, didn’t we?”<div>


    Cindy: “…”


    What the hell is up with ‘Cindy’?


    Cynthia was even younger than her.


    Since Cindy didn’t want to be around ke anyway, she asked Yellen Brooks, Natalie Campbell, and Larry Bet, “Should we go join them?”


    Naturally, she didn’t ask ke.


    She didn’t care at all whether or not ke would feel awkward.


    It was obvious that she didn’t want to hang out with him.


    Even though they were being deliberately excluded, Cindy didn’t care at all.


    Although she didn’t know that they were being live-streamed at the moment,


    Even if she knew, Cindy would still act the same way.


    At this moment, theizens watching the live stream were getting excited.


    wSouthernGirl: “Well done, Cindy! No need to give ke any face.”


    Yan_Ya: “He doesn’t even know his own limits? How dare he question Cindy?”<div>


    Half_A_Pound_ABC: “The contestants still don’t know they’re being streamed live.”


    Mimi_the_Roon: “This way, their true personalities can be shown. Zoe Silverstone and Iris Doone were too conspicuous before, and ke was too low-key, so he didn’t stand out. Now, since he thinks he’s not being streamed, he dares to talk like this. He’s not even as good as Zoe and Iris, at least they had the guts to say it on camera; he’s really not a man.”


    vicoju_jiu: “I didn’t expect the contestants from Pin Academy to be so adorable, I thought they’d be really cold hahaha.”


    Yuan_Anchor: “The remaining contestants’ characters are all pretty good, except for ke!”


    Rui_Baby: “Just let ke be excluded, don’t give him face, it serves him right!”


    Aifei_Don’t_Run: “Hahaha, ke’s expression is priceless. He must be holding a grudge against Cindy.”


    Wordy_Yu_Student: “What does it matter if he holds a grudge? Even if Cindy invited him, it’s not like he would appreciate her kindness.”


    WorryGrass_L_Xiao: “That’s right! And why should Cindy be nice to him after he bullied her like that? It’s not like she’s his mother; there’s no reason to indulge him.”


    Unbeknownst to ke, he was being harshly criticized.


    Larry Bet was actually quite eager to chat with the students from Pin Academy.


    The ten of them had interesting personalities, and interacting with them wouldn’t be tiring.


    Moreover, they wanted to discuss cooking with them, as doing so would undoubtedly be beneficial.


    Many teachings from Pin Academy cannot be found elsewhere.<div>


    It was no wonder that Pin Academy had be one of the top four culinary schools in the world, thanks to its outstanding and unique qualities.


    However, Cynthia only invited Cindy over.


    They didn’t know the temper of the people from Pin Academy well.


    If they didn’t want them toe over, it would be awkward.


    Larry nced at Cindy and then looked inquisitively at the Pin Academy group.


    “Of course, you’re all invited too,” Parker Honi lifted his chin slightly, “We appreciate your personalities, so let’s be friends.”


    Larry Bet: “…”


    They were quite straightforward indeed.


    “Of course, ke can stay put,” Daniel Vahn said to ke. “Don’te over.”


    ke: “…”


    You shouldn’t hit someone when they’re already down!


    Now that they had said that, there was no way ke would go over.


    Wouldn’t that be humiliating?


    ke’s face darkened.


    But with everyone else being invited and him being left out, it was also embarrassing.


    If Larry and the others were a little more socially astute, they would have declined Parker’s invitation.


    Otherwise, they’d just leave him alone here, and it would be awkward.
