Chapter 733
Chapter 733:
When Stephen saw Morris giving up the championship once again, he was so angry that he shouted without regard for his image, “Morris! You…”
swore to win the championship. You were so confident, so what nonsense are you spouting now?”
Morris sighed and turned to Stephen, his expression tinged with a mix of regret and sincerity. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Crawford. To be honest, before meeting Mr. Baldwin, I always believed I had the ability to become a champion. I thought my cooking methods were flawless. But after tasting his dish, I realized the gap between us. He explained the reasons for this gap, which helped me understand my shortcomings in a way I never could before. So, I believe he is more qualified to be called a champion than I am.”
After saying this, Morris turned to Ashton and nodded. Then, he walked over to Ashton, raised Ashton’s hand, and declared out loud, “Everyone, let’s congratulate Mr. Ashton Baldwin for being the champion of this culinary competition.”
Before the crowd could fully process Morris’ heartfelt words, he suddenly let go of Ashton’s hand and did something no one expected.
He dropped to his knees before Ashton, bowed his head deeply with respect and humility, and sincerely pleaded, “Mr. Baldwin, please give me a chance to become your apprentice. I believe I can learn a lot from you.”
Everyone was too stunned to react for a while.
Morris, who had received perfect scores in three consecutive rounds, actually knelt before Ashton, asking to be his apprentice in front of everyone.
“Hey, did you hear about the cooking competition at the main square yesterday? People are saying it was incredible!”
“Cooking? Incredible? I doubt it. I didn’t hear a thing. How exciting could a cooking competition possibly be?”

“Well, you might change your mind when you hear this.
Skyline Group just announced their challenge to Pavilion Foods Group, and guess what? Their representative, Ashton Baldwin, entered the competition himself and won the championship!”
“Ashton Baldwin? Really? Is he that good?”
“Good? That’s an understatement! Remember Pavilion Foods Group hiring Morris Thompson—the international chef with a five million-dollar annual salary? Turns out, Morris was so blown away by Ashton’s culinary skills that he publicly resigned from Simon Restaurant, dropped to his knees, and begged Ashton to take him on as a student!”
“You’ve got to be kidding me! Morris Thompson? The three Michelin-starred chef? Last I heard, Pavilion Foods Group was paying him five million a year. And now he’s asking someone else to be his mentor? How is that even possible?”
“I don’t know the details, but one thing’s for sure—I’ve already booked a table at Skyline Restaurant. Care to join me tonight and find out just how good the food is?”
“Are you serious? Forget my date—I’m canceling it. I have to experience this for myself!”
By the following day, conversations like these had spread like wildfire across Staville.
