Nancy’s admiration made Mag feel more composed. He even started thinking if there was a possibility to join the McCarthy Family through Nancy, even if he did not win the competition.

His aim was not to win the competition. His ultimate goal was to join the McCarthy Family and to complete his mission.

Achieving it via Nancy would seem very safe. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Of course, if he could win the competition, he would also be able to gain a foothold in the Underground City’s Gourmet circle.

All the judges had made their comments. All, except for Julian, who had just placed the bones of cleanly eaten mutton ribs on his plate. The camera naturally focused on him.

Iman looked at his master closely. His master had always been very strict. He had barely heard him compliment anyone since he learned culinary skills from him when he was young.

Denton’s face was as pale as a sheet. It was as though he saw the slot for the top four position fly away from him.

“These mutton ribs are indeed rather unique. You can tell the chef’s attention to this dish based on the infusion of fruit charcoal and the tender meat wrapped within the slightly charred surface.

“The cooking method seems easy but it actually demands a lot from a chef to be able to control the heat well. This might just be basic for a chef, but most chefs have lost this skill because of the extremely accurate kitchenware.

“I think the charcoal-roasted mutton ribs are the best dish for today,” Julian declared.

The judges looked at Julian in shock. The nickname ‘iron-face Julian’ did not come by for nothing. Julian did not even spare his disciples from his disses but actually gave Hades, a contestant he did not think could make it, such a positive compliment.

“This, I agree,” Old Hunter nodded in agreement. “The chefs nowadays have already forgotten what cooking is all about. They have all become tools of recipes and kitchenware.”

Upon hearing that, the contestants on the stage all looked down, avoiding eye contact with the judges.

“What… a compliment!” Iman was shocked. He had never heard such a compliment in the past 10-odd years. Even in the last three seasons of the Top Chef Competition, he had never heard his master compliment someone like that.

“Done for, I’m really done for,” Denton muttered under his breath. Even Julian, the strictest judge, gave him such a good compliment. Hades would most likely get above 90 points from the judges.

“Thanks for the comments. Now, can we have the judges award their points for Hades’ dish!” the emcee said.

The judges stopped discussing and started marking their points seriously.

“I’m so nervous! Can Big brother Hades make a comeback?”

“Although he was complimented, I think the chances for Hades to get through to the next round would still be slim. No one had gotten higher than 95 points in this season’s Top Chef Competition yet. He will only be able to make it through if he gets 96.”

“It’s already unfair to the other contestants that he was brought into the show last-minute. It’s only right if he was eliminated.”

The audience before the screen was very nervous as well.

“What a difficult decision. I want Brother Hades to be eliminated, that way, he would be mine. But I want him to make it through to the next round too. I don’t want to see him upset when he gets eliminated. What should I do?” On the top floor of the Twin Towers, Akali had a distressed expression as she chewed on the mutton ribs in her hands.

During the program recording, she could not get through to Nancy’s phone. The mutton ribs did not come from the recording site. It was a substitute her secretary got for her at the last minute. It was the mutton ribs with the best reputation in Tucker City.

The mutton ribs in her hands tasted pretty good but she was still craving the one Hades made.

She could tell that Nancy was beginning to take interest in Hades and that was why she said such shameless words.

The Top Chef Competition was actually just a competition to choose a chef for the McCarthy Manor.

Those in the industry all knew it very well. But that was precisely why everyone wanted to join the competition. It was so that they could join the McCarthy Family.

To be chosen by the top ten families meant that one would not need to worry about putting food on the table and would even be highly respected.

Of course, she had whatever Nancy had. In fact, she had more.

Akali sent Mag a private message on WeTwit and continued watching the program.

A minute passed quickly. The judges put down their scoreboards and waited for the result to be shown.

After that… the programming division annoyingly inserted an advertisement.

Hades’ scores would be revealed soon and that would determine if he could get through to the top four. Right now, the program was at its peak in viewership. There were 1.3 billion watching the live-stream.

Therefore, Johnny signed a last-minute agreement with a company to have a 12-second commercial priced at 0.1 billion inserted into the live-stream.

Mag dissed the crafty businessman and he could not help but feel increasingly nervous.

This felt exactly like how he felt back then when he was waiting for his high school results before he knew his family was extremely rich.

The 20-seconds-long wait finally passed. Mag’s score was revealed.

“Judges’ total score: 96!”

“Comprehensive score: 89.4!”

“Ranking: 3!”

Mag looked at the scores on the screen and let out a relieved smile.

It was a little better than what he expected and also a little more nerve-racking

The contestant in fourth place had 88 points. If he hadn’t garnered so much attention to himself prior to the competition and did not have that three points PK value, he would have already been eliminated and sent home.

“This… this… this is impossible…” Denton was dispirited. From the preliminaries all the way to the quarterfinals, he had yet to see any contestant with a score of 96 points.

This fellow here, in his first competition, actually achieved such a high score.

“Fantastic!” Angelina looked at Mag with admiration.

Although she was in first place, the judges only gave her 93 points. She was initially still quite proud about breaking the highest score the judges have given for this season. She did not expect that her record was broken by Mag immediately and was pulled up to 96 points.

“This fellow is such a monster!” Iman looked at Mag seriously. 96 points. It meant that at least six of the judges gave Mag full marks. That meant that they were very satisfied with that dish.

One had to know that Mag only obtained 3 points for his PK value but could still clinch the third position and was only behind by 0.6 points in terms of comprehensive score.

The scarier part was that he only made an official announcement to join the Top Chef Competition this morning. Just when everyone thought that his PK value should be zero, he actually already had three?!

“Congratulations to Hades for advancing to the top semifinals!”

“w(?Д?)w!!he actually got 96 points!”

“The second-highest score in the history of the Top Chef Competition and the highest for this season!”

“This last-minute contestant is way too strong!”

“This feeling of an epic comeback is superb! I’m becoming a fan!”

A commotion stirred among the audience.
