After Zhou Delong finished speaking, he immediately raised the wooden plaque with Luo Chao's name on it.

This meant that tonight's pinnacle showdown between the world's two great culinary schools, with Luo Chao representing Chinese cuisine, ended in victory for him!

"Chef Boris, it's time for you to fulfill your promise and apologize for the insults you made against Chinese cuisine!" Zhou Delong, seeing that Boris was silent, hurriedly urged, fearing he would back out.

"No! This can't be. How could I lose? Even if I presented this dish at the world cooking competition, it would be a strong contender for the best dish. How could I lose to a bowl of strange fatty meat rice!"

Boris had never seen this traditional Huaxia dish, braised pork, which combines both lean and fatty meat, and thought Luo Chao hadn't trimmed the fat properly.

"And him!" Boris pointed at Luo Chao. "I've never even heard of his name in the culinary world, and I'm a Three-Michelin-Starred Chef. It's impossible for a chef without a Michelin rating to beat me!"

Boris looked at Zhou Delong, his expression full of doubt.

"Humph! Ignorance. Do you think victory in cuisine is solely determined by the quality of ingredients and the level of the chef? From my perspective, the dining realm of Chinese cuisine is on a completely different level than your Western cuisine!"

"On the way home, the aroma of braised pork wafting from your window and your neighbor's will be different. That's the essence of Chinese cuisine!" Zhou Delong, enraged by Boris's sophistry, shouted angrily.

"Nonsense! No matter what, I will not admit defeat today! This is your Huaxia people's home ground; you're definitely biased towards this kid!" Boris was clearly unconvinced by Zhou Delong's words. The mindset of ingredient quality and chef level was deeply ingrained in his mind!

Boris turned to Luo Chao, "Unless you can defeat me at the world cooking competition, I won't admit defeat! I swear to God, if you can defeat me in front of the global audience and judges, I will not only apologize for my words but will also quit the culinary world and never cook again!"

With that, Boris snorted coldly and walked off the stage, leaving without looking back towards the banquet hall exit.

After Boris left, Luo Chao couldn't help but ask Zhou Delong, "Senior Zhou, what exactly is this world cooking competition?"

Hearing this, Zhou Delong was a bit surprised. He didn't expect someone of Luo Chao's culinary skill to be unaware of the world cooking competition.

He explained, "The world cooking competition is universally recognized as the highest-level culinary competition. The participants are top culinary experts from around the world. The competition is very fierce, and top talents emerge every year!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chao nodded slightly, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Senior Zhou, are there any rewards for the world cooking competition?"

"Of course, the first prize is one million US dollars, but the money is secondary. The honor is what truly matters! The chefs who make it to the finals are all world-class, and they are already quite wealthy. The million US dollars is merely an encouragement prize." Zhou Delong said lightly.

Oh my! A million US dollars is just an encouragement prize?!

Luo Chao felt that since mingling with these wealthy people, his worldview was about to change.

You should know, Luo Chao still owed Lin Yun over two million Huaxia Coins! A million US dollars is equivalent to more than six million Huaxia Coins!

If he could win first place, not only would he get Boris to apologize and restore the reputation of Chinese cuisine, but he would also receive a million US dollars in prize money. It was a win-win situation!

Thinking of this, Luo Chao couldn't help but clench his fist, "Great, I'm determined to win this first place!"

...

At the same time, Sun Bowen, who had left earlier on an excuse, returned.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the banquet hall, he ran into Boris, who had a sullen face and was preparing to leave.

"Chef Boris, where are you planning to go?" Sun Bowen asked with a smiling face.

"To the hotel! I'm heading back to France first thing in the morning!" Boris replied with a cold face.

"Back to France? What's the reason for going back to France? Didn't you just arrive in Huaxia yesterday? Don't forget, you're supposed to be the head chef at my hotel!" Sun Bowen, upon hearing that Boris planned to return to France, looked visibly panicked.

Boris had been poached at high salaries from a Michelin Restaurant in France. Without his culinary skills, Sun Bowen's hotel could never achieve a seven-star rating!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, I need to return to prepare for this year's world cooking competition. You'll have to find someone else for this job! I intend to face that Huaxia kid, Luo Chao, once again on the world cooking competition stage!" Boris stated.

Luo Chao!

Once again, it was Luo Chao!

Upon hearing the name Luo Chao, Sun Bowen's anger instantly peaked.

This Luo Chao had previously beaten up his bodyguard; that was bad enough. Later, he tampered with Sun Bowen's taste perception, causing him great embarrassment!

Now, using some unknown means, he had managed to drive away the highly-paid Chef Boris that Sun Bowen had hired. Sun Bowen was furious enough to want to tear Luo Chao to pieces!

As Sun Bowen remained silent, Chef Boris simply said "Farewell" and left the hotel.

After Boris left, Sun Bowen glared at Luo Chao from a distance, took out his phone, and made a call, "Hello! Vulture? I need you to teach someone a lesson!"
