Chapter 258 - Chapter 258: Chapter 258: The Light Chef (2/2)
Just as Chen Yu was about to refuse, he suddenly noticed that the wall of the nearby alley was crowded with people, all of whom were holding weapons and each one emitted a faint stench of blood.
This was enough proof that these individuals had been exposed to deadly poisons; if he were to forcibly confront them, even Chen Yu would likely meet his end here.
“Fine, then I will go with you!”
After agreeing to follow them, Chen Yu directly followed the man in the black robe out of the alley.
Although the current situation was somewhat passive for him, it also provided him with the perfect opportunity to see who exactly was behind the Bright Food Association.
Before long, a stretch Lincoln stopped at the corner of the street, and a group of people escorted Chen Yu into the car.
However, after getting into the car, these people blindfolded Chen Yu and drew all the curtains closed.
Chen Yu couldn’t help but feel amused, for this tactic might be effective on ordinary people, but he had a system within him.
Once they blindfolded him, the system began scanning all the surrounding terrain and transmitted it into his mind.
The car meandered through the Frankfurt city area for nearly three hours before finally stopping at the entrance of a hotel.
The Eclan Grand Hotel was considered one of the top hotels in Europe, and even in the entire western world, it was among the front runners.
Moreover, this hotel was part of a chain, with more than forty locations worldwide, each one maintaining a standard of five stars and above.
Chen Yu was only allowed to remove his blindfold when he was brought into the main hall.
“Mr. Chen, to have you visit our establishment today is a pleasure we didn’t anticipate. To invite a culinary god like you is truly a fortune of three lifetimes for us!”
Such insincere pleasantries angered Chen Yu a bit, but he showed no sign of it and simply walked over to a nearby counter and poured himself a glass of red wine.
“When I was studying, I had worked at an Eclan Hotel. Although on the surface it appears all glitz and glamour, they really spare no expense in pinching pennies from their employees, did you know that my salary was only a little more than a thousand bucks a month back then!”
While the remark seemed innocuous, it was a veiled mockery of the Eclan Grand Hotel, and at the same time, a jab at the Bright Food Association.
The middle-aged man leading the group gave an awkward laugh, then approached Chen Yu.
“Actually, the treasures of the Bright Association have been a subject of controversy for a long time. Those items are useless just sitting there; they can’t be auctioned off openly nor can they be sold easily. Since Mr. Chen has taken them away, we’ll no longer pursue the matter and consider it a favor given.”
Chen Yu drained the wine in his glass, “I dare not accept such a favor, besides those items inherently belong to the East, and they are best suited to return to their original place!”
In fact, Chen Yu was aware that this man so readily proposed a favor because he had a request for him, perhaps even intending to recruit him for some shady deeds.
The man laughed awkwardly again, then took out an invitation from his person.
“The Bright Food Association is also one of the representatives of the world cuisine community now. Next month, gourmets from all over the world will gather aboard the Queen Eisa in the English Channel for a matchless culinary competition! We hope that Mr. Chen will represent the Bright Food Association in this contest.”
