FVN Chapter 200 Ravenous Guests
Chapter 200 Ravenous Guests
'A bunch of ignorant fellows." Peng Ting smirked disdainfully.
His plates and bowl were mostly untouched, except for a few bites and slurps here and there.
He was not the only one who still had food remaining. The others, who had tasted Lucian's Garlic Butter And Herb Popcorn, were in the same situation.
Meanwhile, in the second VVVIP Room, Su Kuan was wildly smiling.
"Finally, it's about to happen. James, this is what you get for stepping into my territory. You're a merchant and should have stayed as a merchant. This is my realm. You can only blame yourself."
Beside him, Su Bei excitedly kicked her feet up and down, impatient to see the chaotic scene unfold before her.
"Quickly bring out the dishes."
As the guests' excitement reached a peak, Meng Ruo's voice sounded out again. "Without further ado, bring out the Siren's Melody Poached Eggs."
With her words as the cue, the four grand doors swung open, and a wave of fragrant aroma washed over the room.
The fragrance was like a raging tsunami as it crashed into the faces of the guests and enveloped the entire first floor.
Collective gasps echoed, their mouths opening as the intoxicating aroma overtook them.
Within the time it took to blink, the fragrance flooded every corner of the auction house, creeping through the halls and up into the second and third floors, even finding its way through the crevices of closed doors.
Rivers of saliva flowed from the mouths of the dazed guests, some audibly gulping as they stared transfixed at the dishes being brought in by the attendants.
Dignity, poise, and manner — none of it mattered anymore.
All that existed in their minds was the overwhelming desire to taste the dish.
With countless hungry pairs of eyes staring at them... no, staring at the plates in their hands, the attendants meticulously moved in unison toward the guests who ordered the dish.
Unlike the guests, they were calm, unfazed by the aroma wafting from the Siren's Melody Poached Eggs. Not even a dribble of saliva or a twitch of their nostrils could be seen.
Yet, appearances were deceiving.
Inwardly, the hundred attendants were fighting their own battles.
[This is torture. What did Chef Lucian put into these poached eggs?] One of the attendants screamed.
[The same thing happened outside of the Wang Manor.] An attendant muttered.
[Thank the Gods Chef Lucian's disciple warned us, or we would have made a fool of ourselves.]
A female attendant blinked and tilted her head at the man who spoke. [Did you forget what happened in the kitchen?]
Gritting his teeth, the man quipped back, [... Thanks to you... now I do.]
He was forced to remember a few seconds ago when he was subjected to the intense aroma in the kitchen.
He was not the only one, as all the attendants had experienced the same feeling.
Their minds had been dominated, their senses screaming at them to devour the dish they now held in their hands.
Every breath vital to life was filled with the rich fragrance, which had caused agony as they had to resist the urge to indulge.
Droplets of sweat could still be seen on their faces, while some less in control of their emotions felt their hands twitch, desperate to have a taste.
Su Kuan was calm, without even taking a moment to ponder, he explained, "According to the Ghoul Brothers, Lucian poached a total of 553 Siren's Melody Eggs in three batches. The first and second batches had 200 eggs each, while the last batch contained 153. It's the final batch that was poisoned. We just need to wait and watch the show."
"As expected of Uncle!" Su Bei cheered as her excited expression returned, just in time to witness the four doors opening.
The attendants came walking out with a plate in each hand. Once again filling the venue in a layer of rich fragrance.
'Maybe if you all bark enough times, this King will allow you to lick my plate. Hahaha.' Peng Ting laughed when he saw the drooling dogs, ignoring the fact mere moments ago, he was in the same situation as them.
Meanwhile, as the second batch of the Siren's Melody Poached Eggs was being eaten, anxiety began to creep into the Branch Leader.
Noticing the slight tremble of flesh beside her, Mei worriedly asked, [Branch Leader, what's wrong? Did something happen?]
Yoshiko glanced down at the second floor, specifically at the balcony of the second VVVIP Room. With a gloomy expression, she replied, [I'm worried about the Voidtear Essence.]
Mei's expression became weird.
[Does Branch Leader not believe what Chef Lucian said?]
Yoshiko frowned then glanced at Mei with a smile.
[I believe what I see.]
[Fair enough.]
[Though...] Yoshiko said. [I'm curious why you believe in him?]
[I believe what I see.] Mei cheekily said.
The two of them looked at each other before they broke out into laughter, only to suddenly stop as a loud clamor erupted on the first floor.
Fists banged on the tables, while chairs scraped against the wooden floors.
The sound was grating on the ears of those who were still sane.
"Bring me my dish already."
"Hurry up! What's taking so long?"
"I can pay extra!"
Meanwhile, seeing the way they were acting, Lily pouted. Her annoyance increased with each second.
"These people... They didn't believe in Big Brother Lucian's abilities, but now they are making such a ruckus. Humph! They don't deserve to eat Big Brother Lucian's food."
Lily had a perfect memory and on top of it was a vengeful person. Therefore, she had remembered the faces of everyone who did not believe in her Big Brother Lucian. So now that these people were clamoring, of course, she would be displeased with them.
Garrett smiled wryly. "Their reactions are only to be expected. Without tasting Chef Lucian's food, no one would believe food could enhance Mana."
Fenwick nodded as he turned to look at Lily, "Instead, it's your reaction that's unexpected."
"It's not unexpected." Hervy chuckled with his back to them
Sighing, Fenwick and Garrett nodded, followed by the others in the room.
"The doors are opening." Lucian suddenly said. "Which means the show is about to start." Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Lucian then looked at James and continued, "I'll be relying on you."
