Chapter 261: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 64
Grabbing a spoon each, Maria, Wesley, and Christopher each went to take a scoop of the Mashup.
Excited and at the sa ti curious, they slowly put the spoon into their mouths.
In the next mont, both Maria and Wesley's faces turned ugly as they both stared to look at Kayn and Gilbert at the sa ti.
Seeing their gaze, Kayn pointed at Christopher with his lips.
Understanding what he wanted them to do, the duo turn to look at Christopher.
To their surprise, they saw the man eating the Mushup as if it was the most delicious dish he has ever tasted in his life.
Both Maria and Wesley were in disbelief at seeing the ridiculous action of Christopher.
The Mushup was basically just the combination of fried chicken and sweet and sour fish. In other words, it was garbage!
"Do you like it?" Wesley asked.
"Yes," Christopher nodded.
"Why?" Maria narrowed her eyes.
"As a gourt, I find this dish very unique and special," Christopher nodded his head as if finding his words reasonable enough.
Wesley shook his head in disappointnt. He seriously thought that Christopher was a real gourt, turns out that he was just a pretentious man all along. He wasn't that surprised though, considering that this is the Assembly of Freedom, an organization full of lies and deception.
"Idiot," Maria expresses.
"Pardon?" Christopher looks at Maria, confused at why she insulted him.
"He ant the chef, not you," Wesley quickly interrupted. "Never mind what she said, okay? Let's just go to the next contestant,"
"But I still want to finish the plate!" Christopher protested.
"I suggest you don't do that,"
"Why?"
"Because… you still have to leave so room for the other contestants' dishes,"
"Okay…" Christopher felt reluctant, but he doesn't have any choice but to comply with Wesley.
Wesley hurriedly left along with Christopher, leaving Maria on her own.
Maria quickly turns to Nyak and said. "How did you know?" She's really confused at how Nyak was able to tell that Christopher was just a pretentious person.
"I wanted to know what type of judges I was dealing with,"
"How wise," Maria was satisfied. "Keep a few of those fried chickens, I want to eat them during dinner, alright?" She reminded.
"Understood,"
"Also, keep so of the sweet and sour fish for Wesley, as well,"
After saying that, Maria left to follow after Wesley and Christopher who has already begun judging the next contestant.
"A hypocrite and a pretentious man, what a pair those two are," Gilbert said in a remark.
"Wrap everything, we are done here," Kayn instructed as he walked away from his cooking station.
They've already achieved their goal, so they don't have to stay any longer in the competition. Also, they have another important matter to take care of.
"Alright!" Gilbert nodded. As there was still a lot of the Mashup left, he decided to give it away to the audience nearby for fun.
As expected, chaos imdiately issued as soon as one of the audience received the plate of Mushup.
Using the chaos as cover, both Kayn and Gilbert left the venue and returned to their hotel room.
Upon walking inside the room, they imdiately saw a familiar man standing over the window.
"Randy," Kayn called out with a smile.
"Kayn," Randy greeted back.
That's right. It was Randy, one of Jericho's loyal Executives.
"You said in the report that you need to report sothing urgently to Green Horn City, may I know why?" Randy didn't beat around the bush.
"Co and sit first," Kayn motioned his hand to the sofa.
Randy nodded and complied.
Gilbert followed along.
As soon as the trio sat on the chair, their discussion began.
"We are changing the plan," Kayn directly informs.
"What do you an?" Randy was caught by surprise.
"We got three out of the six Assembly Knights in our control," Gilbert explains. "One of them being Wesley himself,"
"Seriously?!" Randy was rendered in shock.
"Do you see a sign of joking on my face?"
"Not really, but how did you do it?"
"Didn't you pass by the cooking show at the Daze Village?" Kayn beca curious.
Randy scratched his head. "I didn't… I imdiately ca here as I don't want to waste ti and possibly get caught because of that,"
"There was a cooking show, and the three judges for the cooking competition were Maria, Wesley, and Christopher,"
"Christopher? Do you an the ssiah of War Christopher? The second mber of the Assembly Knights?" Randy wanted to know if he had heard it correctly.
"That's right!" Gilbert proudly nodded. "But that's not important. Wesley is the real goat amongst the three,"
"The Assembly of Freedom will never know what hit them!" Randy agreed. It is already common knowledge that Wesley has a lot of people in their organization under his control. And now that he is under Kayn's control, it automatically makes them under Kayn's control as well.
"That's not the goal," Gilbert shook his head. He explains. "The real purpose of the Undead Apple is to revive the dead and turn them into loyal soldiers who are unafraid of death,"
"You an…"
"We now pretty much have an army of both living and non-living with us," Gilbert interjected.
"So, what's the new plan now?"
Clasping both hands together, Kayn started explaining. "As soon as the war reaches its climax, I will activate the people under Wesley's control and his Undead army from the rear. We will attack from both sides to sandwich the Assembly of Freedom right in the center,"
"So, basically we'll force them to fight on two fronts?"
"Exactly!" Kayn confirms. "They won't see it coming, so we'll be able to inflict so damage to them before they are able to react. By then, they should be exactly where we wanted them to be,"
"I understand," Randy nodded and realized the importance of his mission. "I'll make sure that this gets to Old Mayor George and Jericho as soon as possible,"
"I'll trust you with that," Kayn pushed a glass of water to Randy. "Before you go, I reckon that you are very thirsty from your trip,"
"I am," Randy nodded and drank the glass of water.
After seeing Randy leave, Kayn and Gilbert sat opposite each other.
"Why'd you do that?" Gilbert asked with a solemn look on his face.
"Do you seriously think that we can trust just anyone to deliver such an important ssage?" Kayn waves his hand, storing the glass of water inside his Storage Ring.
Unbeknownst to Randy, that water he drank just now actually contained the juice of a single Undead Apple.
"So, you're going to deliver the ssage yourself, is that what you're telling ?" Gilbert wanted to clarify.
"If it's necessary,"
Gilbert shook his head. "I hope you're wrong because Randy is one of our allies,"
"I hope that I am wrong as well. Otherwise, we'll be hunted by the entire Assembly of Freedom right in the middle of their own city," Kayn also prays that it will not co to a point where he has to activate the charm he secretly put on Randy.
Gilbert shivered at that thought.
