After a period of silence, Sini Cui Ze was the first to break it. "It must be Azaz! Only he could have done something like this!"
"He's got some nerve. He actually dared to turn Kafolian into a living ingredient!"
Sini Cui Ze clenched both fists, her expression dark. The vines twined around her gauzy robe had originally been blooming with radiant white flowers, but now those blossoms had withered, replaced by black buds filled with a chilling aura.
The others agreed with Sini Cui Ze. Kafolian had fallen into a coma not long after competing against Azaz. Gloria's diagnosis was that someone had intended to turn Kafolian into a living ingredient—in other words, it had to have been done by a supernatural being of the Gourmet school.
Although Sini Cui Ze was also of the Gourmet school, given her relationship with Kafolian, she could never have done such a thing. Even if Sini Cui Ze had truly wanted to harm Kafolian, she had countless opportunities. There was no need to choose this moment.
Of course, Alan was also of the Gourmet school, but his strength was nowhere near enough to threaten Kafolian. Therefore, only Azaz could have done this.
Alan said, "Lady Barbie, Kafolian has already become a living ingredient. Th-then is there still a way to save her?"
Sini Cui Ze naturally would not let Azaz off easily, but Kafolian was the most urgent matter now. She also looked anxiously at Gloria, hoping to hear good news.
Gloria said, "I only said that someone was preparing to turn Kafolian into a living ingredient. She's still in the middle of the process and hasn't completely changed yet. If we were an hour later, she probably really would have changed."
"If she truly changed, saving her might be very difficult.
