"Boom!"
There was an inexplicable tremor in the air.
The shining silver lid of the steel-aluminum stockpot disengaged from its body and in an instant, a thick white fog surged up with an irresistible force, resembling a towering white column.
In the obscurity, a mysterious door had opened; guests present, regardless of their culinary skills or status, even including numerous young women in kimonos who stood invisibly in the corners, all turned their gaze simultaneously with the other giants.
"What happened?!"
Dubian Yuuki, who had just been marveling at Lei Zhe's deadly trump card, looked up startled, her pretty face turning pale as if encountering a ghost.
"What's that noise!"
"Who is shouting!"
The room erupted in chaos.
