Reborn in Japan as a Chef God

Chapter 502: Chapter 501: A Familiar Yet Strange Opponent

The first match of the round of eight in Block A had ended, and yet, the competition in Block B was still fiercely ongoing.

“The Research Faction” had crushed their victory without much room for discussion. Just as the stationed journalists were ready to disperse with disappointment, who could have expected that the belated returning young special chef would issue a Food Duel challenge to Tiqie Ji, the strongest top-level special chef of the “Research Faction” participants?

The journalists thought Tiqie Ji wouldn’t accept such an unreasonable Food Duel, but when they heard about Tiqie Ji’s condition for the duel, they became as excited as if infused with chicken blood:

There’s drama in this Food Duel!

Because, in the journalists’ view, the odds for match number 20 between Far Moon Team and Dragon Town Restaurant Tang’s Team were split right down the middle!

Block B.

Shinohara Shigetaro, who was watching the match, put down his phone with a strange expression on his face.

“What’s wrong?”

Aoki Motota, noticing his off look, raised his eyebrows inquiringly.

Shinohara Shigetaro rubbed his temples and sighed, “I really don’t know what he’s thinking. Initiating a Food Duel in such an international event is a huge gamble on life… Has he considered what would happen if he loses?

This IGO Neon Department manager was truly racking his brains. He had been asked by Mr. Xia early on to take care of his grandson, and Shinohara had always taken good care of Xia Yu indeed—for there were too many procedures and details to be mindful of when running a restaurant in Tokyo, but Shinohara had handled all of these for Xia’s Restaurant, acting almost like an invisible butler.

“Him?” Aoki Motota touched his smooth, shiny bald head and immediately guessed who it was, utterly astounded, “Who is he having a Food Duel with?”

“Tiqie Ji… or rather, Nakamura Ayame!”
