"Head Chef Beate's dish is very delicious, but in comparison, I prefer Mr. Mag's steak. Hence, I choose Mr. Mag," Scheer said with a smile.
"I choose him! This is how beef should be cooked." Camilla was looking at Mag with shimmering eyes.
Four of the judges had already given their decisions, and everyone turned their attention to Jeffree. His decision wouldn't alter the result of this cooking contest, but he was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and his vote bore a lot of weight.
Spatch clenched his fists tightly as he stared intently at Jeffree. As long as Jeffree sided with him, then he hadn't actually lost.
Mag was also looking at Jeffree. This perpetually expressionless old man reminded him of his father in his past.
Sly old foxes like them who had been toiling in the business world their entire lives were very difficult to deal with as you could never tell what they were thinking.
Furthermore, this old man had singlehandedly founded the Chamber of Commerce and made it into the colossus that it was today.
If Mag wanted to abolish the policies in the Chamber of Commerce that were discriminative toward half-breed beings, then the simplest way would be to get this old man to resign from the role of president, and then convince his successor to get rid of those policies.
Jeffree didn't pay any heed to the countless eyes that were aimed at him. His expression remained calm and collected as he said, "In this contest, the steak cooked by Mr. Mag of Mamy Restaurant was more delicious than the beef cooked by Head Chef Beate of Ducas Restaurant, so I cast my vote to Mr. Mag."
"Mr. Mag won on an unanimous vote!"
"Never in my wildest dreams could I have predicted this result! I can't believe there's someone capable of securing an unanimous-votes victory against Head Chef Beate in a cooking contest!"
"I have a feeling this Mamy Restaurant is going to absolutely blow up in popularity in Chaos City!"
"Just who is this Mag? It feels like he suddenly jumped out of nowhere and tipped the entire gastronomic industry in Chaos City on its head!"
In the aftermath of the cooking contest, a massive stir immediately ran through the crowd. Watching this cooking contest had been like sitting on a rollercoaster ride, and aside from the small proportion of guests who had dined at Mamy Restaurant before, no one present anticipated such a result.
As opposed to focusing on the result of this cooking contest, all of the guests were more interested in Mag himself.
From the very beginning, he had received special attention from Young Mistress Scheer and the city lord. Furthermore, he had just crushed Head Chef Beate in a cooking contest in a landslide victory, firmly landing in the limelight.
Most of the guests present were exceptional businessmen in Chaos City, and their business sense told them that a rising star like Mag was definitely someone they should get acquainted with.
"H-how could this be?" Cyril looked at the triumphant Mag and the dejected Beate with a stunned expression. Things had progressed completely contrary to his expectations. He had already prepared in his head a script for the tirade of insults that he was going to deliver to Mag, but he didn't get a chance to utter any of them.
He had thought that Mag would make himself a laughingstock tonight, losing a valuable storefront in the process.
However, what actually transpired was that Ducas Restaurant and Beate had both become his stepping stones, propelling him to even higher levels of renown and popularity.
