Chapter 433 Yagami Hakuto, I Will Watch You Die
After receiving Hakuto's message, the Great Ming side quickly sent someone to act as a notary. After all, this involved two Legendary Cooking Utensils, and coupled with Hakuto's special identity, Great Ming immediately dispatched someone to serve as a witness.
The person who came turned out to be Hakuto's acquaintance, Jiang Xiaobai from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Hakuto didn't waste words and directly explained the bet between himself and the Thunder Empress. Jiang Xiaobai indicated his understanding and didn't say much else.
Jiang Xiaobai knew very well what he was there for. He was there to be a notary, to ensure that Hakuto could get what he wanted after winning, and to make sure Russia wouldn't renege on the bet.
After Jiang Xiaobai arrived, the two sides quickly held a meeting and set a date.
Regarding the Legendary Cooking Utensil, Russia had two different attitudes. One side was obviously unwilling to use the Legendary Cooking Utensil as a bet, while the other side didn't care at all.
However, because of the Thunder Empress, even the side unwilling to put it up for bet had no choice but to obediently shut up. After all, the Thunder Empress wouldn't waste words with them.
If they truly angered the Thunder Empress, she would probably lose her temper. So the day after Jiang Xiaobai arrived, the duel between Hakuto and the Thunder Empress began.
"This time, I will make you understand the consequences of angering me."
Facing this threat from the Thunder Empress, the corner of Hakuto's mouth slightly curled into a meaningful smile.
"Oh, by the way, you were quite cute when you were angry earlier."
A flash of electricity immediately appeared in the Thunder Empress's eyes. She was very annoyed by Hakuto's provocation.
Previously, after Hakuto left, she hadn't been able to control herself and lost her temper, and Hakuto had caught her weakness.
Being called out publicly by Hakuto this time made the Thunder Empress feel even more humiliated.
"Then let's begin. The ingredients and type of cooking are not limited. Whichever side admits defeat first, or whichever side can't hold on first, the other side wins. No problem, right?"
"Heh."
The Thunder Empress let out a light laugh, her eyes full of disdain. She had absolute confidence in her own strength. If the Thunder Empress wished, eating her cooking would be equivalent to undergoing an electric shock each time. As she controlled her Heart of Cooking, this power would become even stronger.
Previously, the Thunder Empress had tried interrogating special individuals, like spies, with her cooking. But those people, after only eating her first dish, would betray even their ancestors eighteen generations back.
Therefore, the Thunder Empress had absolute confidence in her cooking.
Giving Hakuto a haughty glance, the Thunder Empress turned and walked towards her cooking station. Hakuto also walked towards his.
Unlike the Thunder Empress's cooking station, which was crackling with lightning, Hakuto's side had no abnormalities whatsoever. Before long, Hakuto placed a serving of fried rice in front of the Thunder Empress, and the Thunder Empress placed a serving of roasted meat in front of Hakuto. Sparks of electricity still flickered on the roasted meat.
"If you're scared, you can admit defeat directly."
The Thunder Empress looked at Hakuto, expecting to see fear on his face. However, she was disappointed. Hakuto showed no fear. Instead, his eyes conveyed a meaning: "Is that all?"
Catching this meaning from Hakuto, the Thunder Empress's expression instantly turned ashen. Hakuto's gaze caused little harm but was highly insulting.
Having had her defenses broken by Hakuto time and again, the Thunder Empress couldn't remain so rational when it came to him. Provoked like this by Hakuto, her mindset instantly exploded. She looked at Hakuto with eyes full of rage.
However, the Thunder Empress ultimately held back. She couldn't lose her temper.
Losing her temper would make her appear even weaker in front of Hakuto. Moreover, losing her temper in this situation would mean losing both reputation and the battle.
Taking a deep breath to calm her emotions, the Thunder Empress looked at Hakuto and said, "Since you refuse to admit defeat, then eat. If you die, you have only yourself to blame."
Hakuto looked at the Thunder Empress with a smile. "Together, together. The flavor of my cooking should be quite good as well. I just hope you won't reveal some embarrassing expression later."
With just a few words, Hakuto broke the Thunder Empress's composure again. Fortunately, she managed to hold back.
"How long can you keep being smug? After eating this dish, can you still be so tough with your words?"
The Thunder Empress let out a cold snort, picked up the fried rice, and began to eat. But the moment the fried rice entered her mouth, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she unconsciously let out a faint moan.
Hakuto didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up the roasted meat made by the Thunder Empress and ate it. A tingling, numbing sensation instantly spread from his mouth to every part of his body.
Crackle, crackle!
Golden electric sparks appeared on Hakuto's skin. Even his hair stood on end because of it. But aside from that, nothing else happened. However, the Thunder Empress developed some whip-like marks on her body.
Looking at Hakuto, the Thunder Empress trembled with rage. "How dare you!!!"
Hakuto smiled.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Or rather, what makes you think I wouldn't dare?"
Hakuto's counter-question immediately turned the Thunder Empress's face ashen. Then, with a dark look in her eyes, she stared at Hakuto. "In that case, I have no reason to hold back anymore."
After speaking, the Thunder Empress returned to her cooking station. The competition continued.
Watching the changes in Hakuto and the Thunder Empress's bodies, Russia officials, Jiang Xiaobai, and the Great Ming officials he brought with him all had some hesitation.
'If this continued, could it result in loss of life?'
The Thunder Empress once again placed a serving of roasted meat in front of Hakuto. Hakuto likewise placed a serving of fried rice in front of the Thunder Empress. Their gazes met, and it seemed as if crackling electrical currents were sparking in the air.
"Don't die."
The Thunder Empress's gritted-teeth voice emerged from between her red lips.
Hakuto looked back at the Thunder Empress. "You need to control yourself. Don't lose control of your bladder in front of all these people."
The Thunder Empress's face turned ashen as she looked darkly at Hakuto.
"I will watch you die."
"Then keep trying."
After speaking, Hakuto directly picked up the roasted meat and ate it. Compared to the previous time, the electric current this time was enough to kill an elephant.
However, Hakuto's physique was already many times stronger than an elephant's, so he naturally endured it.
