Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Sun and Moon Mountain River Sacrifice

Every person present found their breathing becoming short and rapid; they truly hadn't expected that Chen Yu could turn the most ordinary of noodles into something awe-inspiring, such that even Dolance wasn't his match.Chen Yu didn't say much, merely maintaining a calm and composed demeanor as he took a doll-like pastry from amongst the selection and stuffed it into his mouth.

"What are you all standing around for? Food is meant to be eaten, and since the dish has already been made, don't tell me there aren't any judges here to taste it?"

Although the words were not problematic in themselves, to the ears of the people from the Bright Culinary Gathering, they were a blatant insult. Whenever they had a pastry or fondant competition, they would display the finished products as works of art.

In the past, whenever Dolance participated in a competition, he would seal his creations in vacuum glass containers for memorabilia.

However, Chen Yu didn't care about any of that, just continuing to eat his own creations.

Dolance couldn't help but widen his eyes and hurried forward to stop Chen Yu.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that such a work, carelessly placed anywhere in the world, could win international prizes, and you just ate it?"

A look of disdain crossed Chen Yu's face, "Food, the moment it is made, is meant to be eaten. If we are supposed to put it on display as an artistic piece instead, then there's no need for us to go to the effort of making it at all."

His words left Dolance with no place to hide his shame, and even Karan beside him couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

But in a dark corner, a figure cloaked in black suddenly coughed twice, and a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

Karan immediately reacted, gesturing to the people around him, whereupon a dozen or so tight-clothed and fully armed individuals rushed in.

The weapons in their hands were all standard automatics, and at that moment, dozens of gun barrels were aimed directly at Chen Yu.

Karan cleared his throat and slowly stepped forward a few paces.

"Mr. Chen, don't blame us for some things. Since the day the Bright Culinary Gathering was established, it has been for profit. Since you are not willing to join with us, then you can only be our enemy," Karan said, readying to order the people beside him to fire.

Just as he was about to raise his hand, a loud bang suddenly erupted from the side. The steamer containing the pastries that Chen Yu had made exploded with a roar.

While making the food, Chen Yu had packed the remaining dust into the bottom of the steamer, covered by a plastic bag on the outside.

In the moment before the flames had extinguished, they completely burned the plastic bag, causing the dust within to mix with the air and create a vacuum!

The force of the explosion blew the mobile restaurant to smithereens, with debris flying everywhere and several nearby brawny men being violently knocked back.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Yu turned and bolted for the door.

Before the people could react, Chen Yu had already run out and, snatching a car, sped away.

"This man had everything calculated from the start. Since he is unwilling to submit to us, then kill him. Issue the command for all members of the Bright Culinary Gathering to pursue and eliminate Chen Yu immediately," Karan exclaimed while gasping for air and personally driving a car in pursuit.

After all, it was Karan who had brought Chen Yu back and, at that time, Chen Yu's eyes had been covered, so he had no idea how to escape.

Just by searching the vicinity for a while, Chen Yu could be captured and brought back within half an hour.

But his perfect plan had already gone awry, as by now, following the route suggested by the system, Chen Yu had already disappeared without a trace.

In less than an hour, Chen Yu had returned to the ancient castle of William's family.

At this moment, the entire William family was in complete disarray, as nobody had expected Chen Yu to actually run off on his own.

Katherine was furious, lashing out at the servants responsible for Chen Yu's care, berating them harshly.

Victor also issued orders, commanding everyone in the William family to search for any trace of Chen Yu. Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Just as they were preparing to leave, Chen Yu drove straight into the castle yard.

Upon seeing Chen Yu, Katherine's emotions surged, and she quickly went to greet him.

"Mr. Chen, what on earth happened? Where have you been, and weren't you supposed to carry a satellite phone when you left? Why couldn't we reach you?"

Gasping for breath, Chen Yu took out a hand-drawn map and handed it over to Katherine.

"I ran into some people from the Bright Culinary Association on the road, and these fellows want me to take their place in a world-class competition. This is their location."

Upon seeing the hand-drawn map, Katherine's mouth fell open. The Bright Culinary Association was an extremely secretive organization; for years, no one had managed to find their hiding place, and all those captured by them would mysteriously vanish without a trace.

Yet, Chen Yu had not only managed to escape, but he had also drawn the location of the Bright Culinary Association.

Victor ran out as well, very concerned, and began bombarding Chen Yu with questions, while clutching his shoulder.

Chen Yu merely smiled and headed towards his room on his own.

Victor quickly instructed the kitchen to prepare something to eat and personally brought it to Chen Yu's room.

"Mr. Chen, the people from the Bright Culinary Association didn't give you a hard time, did they? If anything happened, just tell me, and with the power of the William family, we can easily eliminate the Bright Culinary Association."

Chen Yu sighed lightly, "It's actually nothing much; they just wanted me to replace them in a competition, something called the 'Sun and Moon Rivers Festival'."

Victor's eyes widened, "These guys are actually considering such things; it looks like they definitely have some ulterior motives."

Chen Yu drank a glass of wine to himself, leaning back in his chair.

"By the way, what exactly is this so-called 'Sun and Moon Rivers Festival' that the Bright Culinary Association values so highly?"

Victor sighed helplessly and took out an invitation from his pocket.

"The Queen Elsa is actually a historical ocean liner with over three hundred years of history. It once represented the United Kingdom in battles across the world, earning undying merit. The 'Sun and Moon Rivers Festival' held on it is a farewell ceremony before the liner is retired. After the banquet, the authorities will immediately blow up the ship."

Chen Yu immediately understood; in essence, it was about holding a world-class culinary competition on a soon-to-be-retired ship to create some final value.

And once its last bit of value had been extracted, the ship would be utterly useless.
