Chapter 360


    Mnie wanted to say something else but could not disobey them.


    With that, she was brought to the police station right before the final round of thepetition.


    The final round had begun, but the challenge had not yet been revealed.


    Instead, a group ofdies, each with a tray in their hands and a smile on their faces, came in from one


    side of the hall.


    All the participants were puzzled about the situation.


    Thedies had set the trays in front of them, and the lids were lifted simultaneously.


    On the tray, there were two bottles of perfume that looked identical.


    The only difference was thebels on the bottles.


    The invigtor spoke.


    "Everyone, please stay silent.First, congrattions on making it to the final round of the


    industry.However, there’s still a long way before you can be a top perfumer in Westwood.Today,


    we’ll have the final round of thepetition.We hope all of you can be serious and put in your best


    effort!"


    After a pause, he continued, "You have two perfume bottles in front of you.The task is the same for


    everyone.Mr.Parker produced one of the fragrances, and the other is from a middle- tier perfumer.You


    must identify the ingredients and evaluate the perfume’s rtive merits and ws.


    "Use the paper and pen in front of you to jot down the information.Whoever has the most questions


    answered correctly will be dered the winner.If more than one yer has the same score, the yer


    whopleted the challenge in less time will be dered the winner."


    Then, he picked up his timer.


    "Thepetition begins now!"


    Almost everyone picked up the two bottles simultaneously, but they were not in a crush to open chem.


    After all, they were all professionals.


    They started by observing the perfume and tried to get a whiff through its bettle before opening its lid,


    allowing the scent to fill their noses up slowly.


    Lastly, they sprayed a little of it on their wrist to find out the base notes of the perfumes.


    That was wha: everyone did, but Lily started by looking a: thebels first.She could see thebels of


    the bottles on other participants’


    The perfumes were alreadybeled with the names of the mid-tier perfumer and Wesley.


    It was rare to findpetitions that tell you the answers right away.

    Usually, they would cover the names or choose not to reveal the perfumers'' creators to the participants.


    That was done to avoid affecting the participants’ judgment in identifying the characteristics of the


    perfumes.


    After all, it was tough to be the cream of the crop in the perfumery industry.


    Hence, novice perfumers tended to admire masters in the field strongly.


    Some admired the top perfumers, while others wanted to defeat them, so it was customary for people


    to have intense emotions.


    The invigtor had told them upfront that one of the perfumes was created by a mid-tier perfumer while


    Wesley created the other.


    Besides, the bottles werebeled with their names as well.


    This would affect the participants’ judgment to a certain extent.


    Lily looked up at the invigtor.He was watching over the participants seriously, appearing to be


    someone who would be fair and square.Then, she looked at Mnie’s seat again.


    It was still empty.She really did note to thepetition.


    After thinking for some time, Lily put one of the bottles near her nose and took a sniff.


    A faint scent of fragrance filled her senses up.
