Chapter 467 Let's see if your hands are faster, or my gun is.
"Can you cook?"
"I can a little, but I'm not very good at it."
"Alright, got it. You can leave now."
Sterling didn't think cooking was difficult. Isn't it just about cooking the food until it's done?
He looked at the vegetables and decided to give it a try.
Grace said Xavier was good at cooking. What's so hard about it? He didn't want to learn before.
If he wanted to learn, wouldn't it be easy?
He would show a little skill and let Grace see tomorrow that Xavier isn't the only one who can cook.
However, Sterling was shocked when he tried. Why weren't the vegetables cooking properly?
Sterling took out the undercooked ingredients, but his cooking skills should be fine, right?
He put it in his mouth and almost spat it out.
Why was there no flavor?
Jace was still outside and hadn't left. Sterling called him over, "Try this and tell me how it tastes."
Jace already thought the world had gone mad. Sterling actually cooked himself. Now seeing a dish made by Sterling, he felt the whole universe had turned upside down.
"Mr. Wallace, I don't dare to eat it," Jace shook his head vigorously.
He was afraid it might be poisonous.
"I told you to eat it, so eat it!"
Jace had no choice but to pick up the utensils, take a bite, and then force it down, "Mr. Wallace, did you forget to add seasoning?"
Sterling said, "What?"
"You need to add these things?"
He thought cooking it was enough.
"Yes, there are many seasonings. The taste comes from them."
"Then hurry up and buy them!"
Sterling felt it wasn't his fault for not knowing about these things.
"Mr. Wallace, if you want to eat something, I can go buy it for you now." Some things, if not suitable, shouldn't be forced.
Sterling frowned, "Do you not understand what I'm saying?"
"I'm going right now!"
Sterling nodded. It seemed the problem wasn't his cooking but the lack of seasoning.
Soon, Jace bought all the seasonings.
Sterling went back into the kitchen, and after a while, brought out another dish. He had clearly added the seasonings, so why did it taste so strange?
Sterling didn't believe it. Jace said, "Mr. Wallace, if you insist on cooking, why not look at a recipe?"
"Ridiculous, why would I need a recipe!"
However, after studying all night, Sterling didn't manage to make a single good dish.
By dawn, he had nothing to show Grace.
Jace had been there the whole time and hadn't gone back. He didn't expect that after a nap, Sterling still hadn't given up.
"Mr. Wallace, why don't you make some porridge? It can be breakfast."
"Porridge?"
"Yes, it's very simple. Just add rice and water."
"Where's the rice?"
Jace was silent.
Sterling hadn't mentioned needing rice yesterday.
"I'll go buy it now."
Jace quickly bought the rice, but unexpectedly, Sterling managed to mess up the porridge too.
Because Sterling added all the seasonings to the porridge, it ended up with a chaotic taste.
Jace had no choice but to tell Sterling not to add anything while making porridge.
Finally, there was something edible—porridge!
Sterling took the porridge and prepared to leave. As he went downstairs, he found his car tire was flat.
He didn't have much time in Skigeth, and there weren't many cars available.
Sterling hailed a random cab and headed to Grace's house, only to find no one there. He called Grace, and Grace said, "Sorry, Mr. Wallace, I'm already at the office at this time."
Actually, Grace had just left and would take a while to get to the office.
When Sterling arrived at Grace's company, he saw Grace getting out of a car. Sterling got out too and was about to follow Grace when he saw someone approach from behind and cover Grace's nose and mouth with a chloroform-soaked cloth. Grace didn't even have time to struggle before collapsing.
Those people had been planning this for a long time, waiting there with a clear target—Grace. Even the bodyguards Xavier had arranged to follow Grace didn't expect this.
The kidnappers were about to put Grace in a car when Sterling saw this and immediately put down the porridge.
As the kidnappers got into the car to escape, Sterling pulled out a gun and aimed at the tires.
The tire blew out instantly.
The kidnappers tried to run, but Sterling quickly shot out the other tires, making it impossible for them to escape.
The kidnappers had no choice but to get out of the car, using the unconscious Grace as a hostage, "Who are you? If you don't back off, I'll kill her!"
There was no fear in Sterling's eyes, "Let's see if you're faster with your hand or I am with my gun."
Sterling approached step by step, his cold expression terrifying. His powerful and indifferent aura sent chills down their spines.
The kidnappers were momentarily frightened, but Xavier's bodyguards, who were secretly protecting Grace, had already surrounded them.
"If you're in this line of work, you should have heard of my name, Sterling."
"You're Sterling!" The kidnappers were shocked upon hearing the name.
Although Sterling was a businessman, his early years were far from legitimate.
He was ruthless, just as feared as Xavier.
"I can find out all your identities within three minutes. What happens to your families, wives, and children, I can't guarantee. And with so many people here, are you sure you can escape?"
The kidnappers were almost in tears, "We're just doing a job for someone. Patrick hired us to take Grace."
"I don't care who hired you. Hand her over now, or else..."
All they heard was the sound of a bullet being chambered.
"We were wrong. Here, take her. Please let us go."
The kidnappers handed Grace over to Sterling and quickly left.
Xavier's bodyguards didn't stop them, knowing Patrick was behind it.
Sterling held Grace, who was very quiet in his arms.
He picked Grace up horizontally, but Xavier's bodyguards blocked his way.
"Mr. Wallace, please hand her over to us."
Sterling sneered, "Are you the useless bunch Xavier arranged? If she had been taken away today, could you guarantee her safety and answer to your useless boss?"
The others were silent.
"I'll take her for now. We'll talk when she wakes up."
With that, Sterling put Grace in a nearby cab and told the driver to head to the hospital.
