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

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

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

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

Who knew that Blake would have such dumb luck?

Last time, many stronger contestants were eliminated.

Blake, 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?

Blake’s mouth moved, but he was at a loss for words.

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 major competition 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 accept 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?

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

During the first round of the competition, Natalie Campbell and Larry Bennett, and the ten people from under Pingla Academy all tasted Cindy’s cuisine.

And they personally acknowledged it.

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

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

Even without comparing it to anyone else’s, it was certainly not the “watered-down” cooking that Blake claimed.

With Blake’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 Bennett: “…”

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 Pingla 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 Pingla 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 relationships.

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 Pingla 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 but laugh.

Cynthia Florine waved at Cindy and said, “Come over here and chat, Cindy. We got along pretty well during the last competition, didn’t we?”

Cindy: “…”

What the hell is up with ‘Cindy’?

Cynthia was even younger than her.

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

Naturally, she didn’t ask Blake.

She didn’t care at all whether or not Blake 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, the netizens watching the live stream were getting excited.

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

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

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

Mimi_the_Raccoon: “This way, their true personalities can be shown. Zoe Silverstone and Iris Doone were too conspicuous before, and Blake 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 Pingla 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 Blake!”

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

Aifei_Don’t_Run: “Hahaha, Blake’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 Blake, he was being harshly criticized.

Larry Bennett was actually quite eager to chat with the students from Pingla 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 Pingla Academy cannot be found elsewhere.

It was no wonder that Pingla Academy had become 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 Pingla Academy well.

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

Larry glanced at Cindy and then looked inquisitively at the Pingla Academy group.

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

Larry Bennett: “…”

They were quite straightforward indeed.

“Of course, Blake can stay put,” Daniel Vahn said to Blake. “Don’t come over.”

Blake: “…”

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

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

Wouldn’t that be humiliating?

Blake’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.
