Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After trying the Explosive White Water Beef Balls, Nancy’s strap broke. This strong reaction shocked everyone on site.

Johnny, who leaped up, was pale. A broadcasting error was nothing compared to this. If Miss Nancy had a wardrobe malfunction on the program with billions of people watching the live-stream, he would really break down.

“Oh my gosh! Did he put explosives in the beef balls?!”

“Luckily it’s just the strap that broke. A pity it’s just the strap that broke.”

“What makes this proud and noble woman keep falling into such an unglamorous situation? Is it the warped human psyche or that the beef balls are too good?”

The netizens all had huge reactions too.

Why would such ordinary-looking beef balls create such a strong reaction in Nancy?

One must know that Nancy had always been aloof and her demeanor fitted her status as a young mistress from a wealthy family.

Therefore, something must be wrong with this beef ball.

The audience started wondering what secrets were hidden within this beef ball that could make Nancy forget her manners on a program.

“This… can’t be…”

Iman suddenly had mixed emotions. Nancy’s reactions were too strong. It was completely different from the calm look she had to the three people whose food she had tasted before Hades’.

This made him have a bad feeling. It was just like the charcoal-grilled mutton ribs from yesterday.

“Mm! It looks impressive. It actually made Miss Nancy’s strap break. Looks like there’s no need to worry at all,” Angelina thought to herself as she smiled brightly.

Nancy was immersed in the enjoyment of the Explosive Beef Balls. It was only after she swallowed the beef ball and opened her eyes slowly did she realize that her strap actually broke.

Thankfully, the gown was designed with the consideration that a wardrobe malfunction might happen and hence the dress did not slide down when the strap broke, preventing an even more awkward situation from happening.

However, Nancy was already feeling so awkward her toes were curling. She had never been so embarrassed in front of others before, not to mention in front of billions of people during a live-stream.

As a socialite who had been through rigorous training since she was young, Nancy might feel awkward but she did not let it show on her face. She gently picked up her broken strap with her long fingers and cast a little spell to stick it back to the dress. At the same time, she said with a smile, “Even my dress is shocked by the taste of this beef ball. Mr. Hades has brought me a pleasant surprise once again, and also a little shock.”

As she said that, she glanced at Mag grudgingly.

Mag’s eyes were clear and innocent, as though this had nothing to do with him at all.

The judges all had various thoughts when they heard the comment. Miss Nancy’s comments had set a certain standard for Hades’ dish.

It seemed Miss Nancy had shown great interest and care for Hades since yesterday. They did not know if the Explosive White Water Beef Balls were really as good as she said or if she was just doing this so that Hades could get a good result.

“Let me try it and see if this beef ball really is different from what it appears to be.” Old Hunter picked up a beef ball with his spoon and put it into his mouth. After that, he took a big bite.

The beef ball exploded in his mouth. Soup squirted out and it was so scalding hot that he almost spat it out.

How is this a surprise? This is just a shock!

However, the scrumptious taste of the soup started blooming in his mouth immediately. It was fresh and sweet, with a hint of fragrance from the white water prawn’s paste. it soothed his startled taste buds and blossomed into a shocking delicious taste.

Old Hunter, who did not have many expectations for it, was shocked.

“So this is the so-called ‘exploding’! He froze the pork rind soup with some prawn paste jelly and wrapped it within the beef ball. While the beef ball cooks, the soup within melts to become this surprise hidden within the round beef ball!”

Old Hunter’s eyes lit up. He could not help but applaud Hades’ innovation.

After drinking the soup, Old Hunter chewed on the beef ball slowly. The chewy texture also surprised him.

When they first watched Mag pound the beef tens of thousands of times to make it into meat paste and saw him squeeze the paste into beef balls, they all did not have many expectations for the texture of the beef ball.

However, he was slapped in the face by reality. This beef ball had an excellent texture!

It was fresh and chewy, making it taste even better than fresh beef. On top of that, the pounding process got rid of the tendons and fats in the meat, making the meat exceptionally smooth and fine. The more one chewed on it, the more fragrant it got. This was really an addictive enjoyment.

Rip!

Old Hunter was wearing a tight shirt. At the front, two buttons burst open and at the back, the cloth ripped open.

“Eureka!” Old Hunter shouted with excitement. He looked at Mag and said, “You’re pounding it and not cutting it so the muscle tissues of the meat were not severed. This allows the texture of the beef to be retained. Am I right?”

“Yes.” Mag nodded.

“What a genius method.” Old Hunter gave Mag a thumbs up. He complimented him. “This dish gave me the biggest surprise for today. The combination of beef and prawn was unexpectedly perfect.”

Old Hunter’s comments made the other judges have an even higher expectation of the beef balls.

One had to know that Old Hunter was the most straightforward judge. He did not care who the chef was and only commented on the dish before him. For him to give such a good review meant that this beef ball really surprised him.

“Two consecutive judges’ clothes ripped. this beef ball is sick!”

“There seems to be a change in the situation. Could Brother Righteous make it to the finals with these ordinary-looking beef balls?”

“What are these judges saying? Can’t they be more professional? Let me try it too! How infuriating.”

The audience’s anticipation rose even higher.

On the top floor of the Twin Towers, Akali looked at the beef balls in the small bowl on the screen. She frowned as she muttered to herself, “Even though I love our Big brother Hades’ looks, this beef ball doesn’t look that good at all. Why did Nancy’s dress rip after she just had one of them? Has she always been so sensitive?”

After that, she ordered the secretary beside her. “Get me a bowl.”

“Young Mistress, I…” The secretary was put on the spot.

“He only made 12 mutton ribs yesterday so if you can’t get your hands on them, it doesn’t matter. Today, he cooked a large pot of beef balls. There is still about half a pot left. If you can’t even get your hands on those, you can scram!” Akali said coldly.

“I’ll get right to it,” the secretary replied quickly and rushed off.

***

At the competition ground, beads of perspiration had already started forming on Iman’s forehead.

Nancy and Old Hunter both gave Hades’ Explosive White Water Beef Balls very good reviews after tasting them. This made him feel pressure despite initially thinking that he would make it through smoothly to the finals.

These two had almost never given such comments in the Top Chef Competition before.

Right now, all he could do was pray that the other judges had differing comments about the beef balls. That way, Hades would not get such a shockingly high score as he did yesterday.
