Unbeatable Chef Xenon
Chapter 31
"I've never seen Enzo cook before but I know almost every meal that's being presented for sale in the restaurant."
Xenon told Alfredo when he nodded as he jotted that down, he looked more like a teacher than a loyal servant right now and Xenon was very keen to listen to him. This man might act human but deep down he wasn't, he had lived with strange people with unique powers for years so he had to listen to him and follow his instructions.
"Okay, that should work out then, the internet says that Enzo is the best international chef and has sold more than 500 local and international cuisines worldwide." Alfredo read through his phone and Xenon scoffed
"I don't believe the Internet a bit, let's not thread on their words," Xenon told him and shrugged.
"Well, let's just say that they are true to some extent. The majority of the other competitors have the same report but five of them seem to stand out. Enzo, Valentino Sparks, Sabatini Aroma, Giovanni and Lorenzo De Draco."
"But Lorenzo doesn't even exist! You said he's after my life. How on earth does he even have access to this?"
Xenon's voice seemed irritated and Alfredo chuckled.
"He's a grandmaster, he can do anything in a twinkle and nothing would happen. So let's just concentrate on the weaknesses of those Chef. Going after what they know how to do best is futile, it would guarantee positive results and they would all buckle up to put in their best at what what they know, so I suggest you go for what they don't know" Alfredo said and Xenon nodded I'm affirmation.
"So you need to make a list of what these people haven't prepared before. The hardest dish ever. The most delicious and unique dish that would have all necks turn."
He told Xenon who grinned and tilted his head.
"I already thought of that last night and came up with it. Wait, you mentioned that someone was coming over today. I hope he's not taking over from you?" Xenon asked him, hoping he wasn't going to say anything positive and Alfredo chuckled.
"You're looking at me as if in about to say a word that would make you yell. Well, he's not taking over. You didn't want the whole world to know that you're Glacier's grandson and I took your place which means I'm representing you. The good news right now is we've been getting deals from prominent people, your grandfather's company would need a personality to take over and the bad news is that I will be there to take care of all your mess Xenon!" He explained every word as if it was a burden to him and Xenon swallowed, shutting his lips abruptly.
"So you're not in a position to complain about my absence."
"I understand." He said calmly and bit his lips. "I'll take over from you when I win the competition. I want to win the competition and get the money so I can build my own restaurant. I still don't trust Mr Vlad and I feel uncomfortable with staying under this building he gave me."
"That shouldn't be your concern right now, the building is yours. Just focus on doing your best to win or Draco and his agent will do all it takes to dwindle your chances of winning.." he said and clapped his hands.
"So what are the type of food that's rarely cooked in Italy?"
"Salt-crusted fish, Baked Alaska, Croquembouche, Macarons, Turducken, and others that I'm yet to indicate.."Xenon said, jotting down more items on his jotter and Alfredo nodded.
"Do more research, these are too little and take away the macarons, most chefs use in their restaurants. I will be on my way to the office and direct Theodore to assist you."
"Why?" Xenon's loud voice startled Alfredo who sighed.
"Because I'm taking care of your mess! Find your ass to Royal Volt Cuisine and learn how to control your powers. Use your insights and powers to get Ingredients to the rare ingredients of the food you just mentioned, push yourself more to learn how to discover your opponent's weaknesses and Theodore will help you out. I will answer questions but I might not always be available at the moment."
Alfredo told him and he nodded.
"Thank you so much, I'll make sure to implant everything you've said and show you the results." He told him and they both shook hands together and dispersed to their various environments.
Xenon had barely left Aldero and entered the street when he witnessed a gruesome accident scene. His heart groaned in pain as the mother wailed bitterly at the sight of her son who was knocked by hit and run driver, leaving her bitter sorrow.
Now a sudden strong urge overwhelmed him, he wanted to help and his body reacted the same way. If he hadn't been quick, the boy's body might not have been able to Ingest whatever he was about to give him.
He suddenly needed coffee seeds, and he could grind them and make them fresh with hot water and as if he was gushed by the wind, Xenon found himself in a supermarket right In Front of the coffee seeds container.
A little girl saw him and gasped out loud to her mother.
"Mummy! Mummy, this man appeared like an angel!" She cried out and her mum turned to the direction her daughter was pointing only to see a blank space.
"I've told you not to yell unnecessary Lola, observe manners and ethics in public!" Her mum scolded her and her face fell.
"But he was there mum." She said sadly but her mother dragged her hands away from the place but her eyes were glued to that place Xenon had vanished earlier.
"Please can I get hot water please?it is really urgent. " Xenon asked the old lady at the shop and she was about to use the water to prepare her tea.
"Why do you look so sweaty, take it. I'll have to boil another one now." She said, not in a disappointing tone but as a matter of fact.
"Thank you very much, sorry for wasting your time."
He told her, poured the water in a cup, and rushed to the scene where they were almost wheeling the boy into the ambulance.
"Please wait a minute!" Xenon yelled at the medical officials who stared at him disgustingly.
"What is your problem you dirty thing? Can't you see we are in the middle of a very important work?"
One of them yelled back at him rudely and Xenon chose to ignore his remarks.
"Place let me give the boy this drink, I believe he would be okay." He said and they all stared at each other before they bursted out laughing.
