The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Unlike the Thunder Empress's superficial arrogance, Hakuto's arrogance came from the depths of his being, as if the world meant nothing to him.

A flicker of displeasure passed through the Thunder Empress's eyes. She hated Hakuto's arrogance.

That attitude, even more arrogant than her own, made this Thunder Empress bristle.

After all, she had always treated others arrogantly, looking down on everyone. But now, being treated this way by someone else, the Thunder Empress experienced the feeling that others had when treated by her.

It was really infuriating!!!

Her fingers gripping her lady's fan turned white from the force. Rage welled up inside the Thunder Empress—a kind of rage she had never felt before.

"You have piqued my interest."

The Thunder Empress said to Hakuto before her. However, Hakuto merely smiled faintly. "Angry?"

The Thunder Empress's expression instantly turned cold. Hakuto's words had hit her raw nerve.

Having met just once, before they had even exchanged a single sentence, she had already been psychologically broken by him. This was simply a humiliation for the Thunder Empress.

Hakuto's arrogance thoroughly enraged the Thunder Empress.

"If you want revenge, I can give you a chance. Let's make a bet with me. Aren't you a Super Chef? Then let's duel using our respective cooking skills as blades, shall we?"

The Thunder Empress's eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, she laughed. She had seen through Hakuto's plan.

"What do you want from me?"

Hakuto didn't hide it and directly stated his intention. "A Legendary Cooking Utensil. I know you have one in your possession. So my goal is also a Legendary Cooking Utensil. Use a Legendary Cooking Utensil as the wager."

The Thunder Empress opened her lady's fan, hiding the lower half of her face.

The upper half of her face, with eyes like a large predator, stared intently at Hakuto, as if the next moment she would tear him apart and swallow him into her stomach.

The Thunder Empress looked at Hakuto before her and refused him without hesitation.

"I refuse. No matter the reason you want a Legendary Cooking Utensil, you have made me very unhappy. So no matter what your purpose is, I will not let you achieve it."

The Thunder Empress looked at Hakuto with some smugness. So what if you successfully made me angry? So what if you broke my composure? In the end, since you can't achieve your goal, I am still the winner.

Hakuto had indeed underestimated the Thunder Empress. She had seen through his thoughts.

Regarding what the Thunder Empress said, Hakuto just narrowed his eyes, then smiled. "Won't you even listen to my competition format? Aren't you confident in your cooking?"

Looking at Hakuto, he spoke in a mocking tone. "A clumsy provocation."

Hakuto was noncommittal and continued on his own. "The competition format is that each of us will prepare a dish, then give the dish to the other. Each person will eat the other's dish. The contest will be decided directly by the collision of Heart of Cooking against Heart of Cooking, until one side admits defeat or loses consciousness."

Hearing this competition format, the Thunder Empress slightly narrowed her eyes.

An interesting competition format. But the Thunder Empress did not intend to agree to Hakuto because she hated his arrogance, so she would not give him any chance.

However, Hakuto wasn't worried about her disagreement. A faint smile on his face, he just stood there. The smug expression on the Thunder Empress's face gradually disappeared. Looking at Hakuto, a trace of anger appeared in her eyes. He was ignoring her.

"Very well. You are really very good. You have successfully made me angry. I accept your proposal. We will eat each other's cooking. But don't blame me if you die."

The Thunder Empress snapped her lady's fan shut and looked at Hakuto with an indescribable anger.

Hakuto's attitude had thoroughly enraged the Thunder Empress. This girl, who had grown up without ever experiencing any grievance or setback, had completely had her defenses broken today. Hakuto had made this proud girl remember him, time and time again.

"Of course. If you die, you can only blame your own lack of skill. What we are betting is not just the Legendary Cooking Utensil. Our very lives are also being placed on the gambling table."

Hakuto showed no surprise at the Thunder Empress agreeing to bet with him. From the very beginning, he was confident that he could make this proud girl bet with him.

Indeed, she had seen through his scheme. But so what? Just because she saw through his scheme, could she not bet with him?

That was impossible.

As long as she wanted to crush him in her heart, she would inevitably agree to the bet.

After all, no matter how much Hakuto angered the Thunder Empress, he was still from the Great Ming. If the Thunder Empress wanted to attack Hakuto, the consequence would likely trigger a world war.

So even though Hakuto kept breaking her composure, the Thunder Empress could not act.

However, Hakuto's proposal of eating each other's cooking coincidentally gave the Thunder Empress an excuse.

Since Hakuto proposed the bet, even if he ate himself to death, Russia would have a reason, and Great Ming would have no grounds to go berserk over this matter.

So, as long as the Thunder Empress had the intention to act from the very beginning, she would inevitably agree to Hakuto's bet.

Seeing Hakuto's smile, the Thunder Empress's expression couldn't hold up anymore. Knowing that she had fallen into Hakuto's scheme again, how could the Thunder Empress remain unmoved?

Given the Thunder Empress's proud personality, if not for the inappropriate timing and place, if not for the fact that losing her temper would be even more humiliating, she would have absolutely lost it by now.

"Then we will have a cooking duel in front of representatives from Great Ming and Russia. I'll take my leave for today."

After speaking, Hakuto left directly. After he left, thunder rumbled in the sky. The Thunder Empress could no longer hold back her temper and began to vent.

Hakuto stopped and turned his head to glance back. "So easy to read."

As if hearing Hakuto's voice, the thunder in the sky grew even louder. Hakuto smiled even more brightly.
