Luke Shaw cursed inwardly, not believing for a second that Wesley Gordon was clueless.
Wesley Gordon was acting high and mighty, but really, he was no better!
Luke and his team were escorted back into the competition's room.
Under the supervision of the monitor, the results were announced.
"Six votes for the white bowl, three for the black," the monitor stated, "The winning team is the Hearth National Team!"
"By drawing lots, Hearth National Team got the white bowl and the Indian Triad Team got the black bowl," said the monitor, "So, the Hearth National Team ultimately won with a 6:3 ratio."
The faces of the Indian Triad Team turned dark.
The mentors, including Luke Shaw, were grim-faced and silent.
Who would have thought that they each cast two votes for Hearth Nation!
Luke Shaw asked the other two, "Which three dishes did you vote for?"
The three of them exchanged their votes and found they voted for the same dishes.
