Hearing that, Matthew paused and lifted a cube of tofu with his knife. The smooth tofu was placed in a bowl of water. With a gentle tap on the water surface, he split the tofu into sections from the core, turning it into a lovely flower.
"My goodness!" Liam went closer with a shocked look. "That's awesome! How did you learn that?" While praising Matthew, he took some photos for his Instagram Stories.
While editing the text captions, he was again shocked by a sharp dagger in front of his eyes. "F*ck!" He gasped and jumped backward, prompting his phone to fall onto the floor and roll over to Matthew's heel.
"What are you doing? Do… Do you plan to kill the prince? You're in the hidden clan territory, mind you! If you kill me, Eleanor will not spare you too!" Liam pointed at Matthew, adding, "I was just trying to help you with the baked fish. I'm cool if you don't want to make that dish, but you don't have to kill me!"
"What's on your mind?" As cold as ever, Matthew flipped the blade in his hand. "Look, there's the fish. If you can gutter a fish properly, I'll let you help with the dish."
Next, he pointed at the two fishes in the water tank, which were much alive, as he assigned the task to Liam. However, Liam was only capable of fishing, not gutting them. After some hesitation, he took the knife and kneeled to pick up his phone. He grumbled, "It's easy to hurt someone with a knife! Don't fool around and scare the others. Just tell me if you want me to kill the fish. You made it look like you were planning to kill me!"
"It's not my fault that you're a scaredy cat." Matthew took a jab at him and drew another knife from the rack as he resumed prepping.
One and a half hours later, the feast was finally ready. The ten-course meal would be delivered to the Sky Lounge on the top floor. Then, Matthew went downstairs to get Skyler.
Hearing the knock on the door, Skyler quickly opened up. "Matt?"
"Did you see my text just now?" he asked.
