Vincent wiped his mouth and stood up with his arms raised. He was the winner, but at what costs?
His face was smeared with sauces he especially left on the plate and let it fall on him. His clothes were also stained, and they needed a thorough wash. It was like someone went to play in the mud but with delicious sauces instead.
The audience who didn't bet on Kilo and those who betted on Vincent cheered for the winner. The presenter didn't miss the opportunity to ask the winner if he had the strength to say a few words.
Vincent nodded and acted as if he was about to puke. The previous loud cheers stopped. The audience let Vincent speak without the need to shout.
"Huff. First of all, I dedicate this victory to my family. I also thank my teacher, Duke Biro Hawkins, for giving me one week of hellish training to turn my body into a human furnace." *Burp* "Sorry." Vincent flexed his arm muscles and continued, "My biceps loved the food."
