The standard two-hour duration for the Food Duel seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.
On the broadcast screen, Gaius's 'Grilled Marinated Octopus' displayed a typical Western flair, with a clean white plate adorned with rings of onion strips, slices of tomato wedges, and a piece of green lettuce serving as a base backdrop at the bottom of the plate.
The octopus leg, grilled to a crispy exterior yet tender inside, had already contracted. After placing it, Gaius drizzled a bottle of olive oil over it.
This was followed by a touch of vinegar and a hint of lemon juice.
Just by looking at the vibrant red and green on the plate, the industry professionals watching quietly swallowed their saliva, as if the gate to their appetite was about to fully open.
Undoubtedly, since it was a dish from a Heavenly King, at least in terms of class, it was on point.
"Ding! Ding!"
The sound of the dish bell rang out.
