Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Video (2 chapters combined into one)

“However, Cindy Clarke has eliminated one after another using despicable means. Together, we can certainly deal with her, right?” Iris Doone said.

“Besides, don’t forget that Zoe Silverstone is still around.” Iris Doone added.

“Zoe Silverstone?” Joseph Tanner hadn’t paid much attention to her.

“The harm Cindy Clarke did to Zoe was not just a simple elimination. She can’t even continue as a food blogger now, and many brands have terminated their collaborations with her. In other words, Zoe’s source of income was directly cut off by Cindy Clarke.”

“You say, with such heartless behavior like cutting off income directly, could Zoe just let it go?” Iris Doone said.

Joseph Tanner squinted his eyes: “We three can join forces.”

“Yes.” Iris Doone nodded, “After the competition today, I’ll contact Zoe. I might not be able to reach her immediately, but don’t worry. As soon as I get in touch with her, I’ll let you know. Then we’ll figure it out.”

Joseph Tanner looked at the advancing seats opposite: “Anyway, I can’t let Cindy Clarke be so triumphant!”

“Of course.” Iris Doone nodded.

The next groups were quickly evaluated.

In the end, the ten people under Pingla Academy successfully advanced: Parker Honi, Jasmine Hudson, Aiden Huxley, Gladys Joy, Daniel Vahn, Yannick O’Brian, Cynthia Florine, Bartholomew Bailey, Ava Brown, and Leon Hernandez.

The remaining five places went to Cindy Clarke, Larry Bennett, Natalie Campbell, Yellen Brooks, and Blake Walker.

One could say that Blake Walker had been extraordinarily lucky.

Although he was ranked low, he drew an opponent who was similar to his own level.

He ultimately won by a slim margin.

When all the results came out, whether it was the advancing players or those eliminated, all of them returned to the stage together.

After all, they were the top 30.

The eliminated players had to get some screen time before leaving the stage.

“Doone.” When everyone gathered, Blake Walker came to find Iris Doone.

Iris Doone was full of mixed emotions.

Because they were assigned to the same group during the auditions and advanced together, she got along well with Blake Walker.

Moreover, their skills were about the same.

But she never expected that she would be eliminated, and Blake Walker would advance.

Blake Walker was so lucky to draw an opponent with the same level as him.

Iris Doone thought jealously, why didn’t Blake Walker draw someone from Pingla?

Even if he drew Cindy Clarke, Blake Walker wouldn’t have a chance to advance!

With that level of skill, his advancement was the biggest joke!

On the surface, Iris Doone gently said, “Congratulations.”

“I was just lucky this time.” Despite what Blake Walker said, his face still showed an unconcealable triumph.

He had been lucky to get an opponent with a similar ranking.

But it also proved that he was indeed stronger than his opponent, so he won.

He advanced on his own merits.

“I just didn’t expect you to…” Blake Walker sighed, “I wanted to fight alongside you.”

Iris Doone gave a sweet, gentle smile, saying, “It’s okay, you can work hard for both of us.”

“I can’t continue in the competition, and I won’t have a chance to beat Cindy Clarke again. It’s all up to you now, you have to win against her!” Iris Doone said, ” You can’t let her be so triumphant.”

“Of course, I will.” Blake Walker didn’t know where his confidence came from, but he dared to promise that.

“Please, eliminated contestants, come to the front,” Wesley Gordon said at that moment.

Iris Doone smiled at Blake Walker and hurried to the front.

“Although you were eliminated in this round, remember that you are this year’s top 30. You have emerged through layers of selection and finally stood on this racecourse as the top 30. You are among the top 30 of the country’s youth chefs.” Wesley Gordon encouraged them.

Many people felt their blood boiling as Wesley Gordon spoke.

“This failure is not the end. I hope you can learn something from this competition and improve your cooking skills. In this way, the purpose of the competition will be achieved.” Wesley Gordon said.

“Wishing you a bright future, next year, you are still welcome to participate.” Michael Greene smiled and said.

“Here, congratulations to the 15 successful advancing contestants.” Hunter Clarke said, “Congratulations, you are the 15 best young chefs in the country. The following matches will become more intense, so be prepared.”

At this moment, a staff member came up and said something in Wesley Gordon’s ear.

Wesley Gordon nodded and said, “At the beginning of the match, there was a dispute in the food storage room. Among them, contestant Cindy Clarke’s ingredients were destroyed, and she requested to check the video footage from the live broadcast in the food storage room.”

“During the competition, the staff reviewed the footage taken before and the results are now available.” Wesley Gordon said.

“In the spirit of fairness and openness, and in order to appease everyone, we will now broadcast the video on-site, revealing it to all contestants, the audience on-site, and those watching the live broadcast through various platforms.” Wesley Gordon said.

After speaking, Wesley Gordon instructed the staff to play the video, displaying it on the big screen and streaming channels for all audiences to see.

The big screen and online live streaming platform both switched to the video.

The top right corner of the video showed the time it was taken.

This allowed the audience to clearly know when it was taken, and the constantly changing second count also proved that this video was not edited.

The staff responsible for checking the video brought up a microphone and said, “Before playing the part where the contestants went to the food storage room to check the ingredients, I want to go back to 75 minutes ago. I won’t say anything; just watch. Even though it’s 75 minutes back, the viewing time is not long. We’ll watch that specific time and then go back.”

The staff looked at Wesley Gordon.

Wesley Gordon nodded, and the staff adjusted the video to 75 minutes prior.

The first image to appear was an empty food preparation room.

The time when the contestants went to check the ingredients was even earlier than 75 minutes ago.

That was long before the start of the competition, probably around noon.

Suddenly, Iris Doone appeared in the frame.

She walked halfway around the food storage room, found Cindy Clarke’s ingredient section, and stopped right in front of it,

She looked at it for a while and then left.

“Did Iris Doone go there first?”

“What did she do staring at Cindy Clarke’s ingredients?”

“It seems that it really might be her who did it; otherwise, why would she go there?”

Iris Doone didn’t expect the organizers to turn on the camera so early!

“In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong during the live broadcast, we started testing the cameras ahead of time.”
