Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 1658: Really Heartless

“Uncle Cyril, what a rare visitor.” Gloria sat at the main seat with a smile, and said to Cyril, “Come and have a seat here.”

Cyril’s eyes twitched when he realized Gloria didn’t stand up to welcome him. Then, he threw a glance at Mars, who was standing behind her, and a hint of darkness flashed across his eyes, but he soon forced a smile and nodded. “I heard you have moved to a new factory building recently. As your uncle, of course I have to come and take a look.”

“Then I will thank you right here, Uncle.” Gloria nodded, and then looked at Cyril without uttering a word.

Cyril was still waiting for Gloria to ask him why he came so he could bring up the topic of asking her to introduce him to the Mamy Restaurant’s boss and asking him for help. He didn’t expect the atmosphere to freeze so awkwardly.

After freezing for a while, Cyril realized that Gloria didn’t even have the intention to serve him some tea, yet he couldn’t just leave. Hence, he could only smile awkwardly. “Actually, I have come to ask you for help today.”

“Given Uncle Cyril’s abilities, are there still things that I can help you with?” Gloria asked smilingly.

“This...” Cyril wished he could burrow into the ground. There was no chance for any reconciliation regarding Gloria and his fight for the inheritance rights. His asking her for help now was equivalent to him asking her to slap him across his face.

If he was in her shoes, not only would he watch Gloria suffer, he would also join in and kick her while she was down.

This lass has become shrewd and not easy to fool anymore. Cyril flicked a glance at the unmoving Gloria before he rolled his eyes. He slid down from his chair to sit on the floor and wailed. “Gloria, you have to help me. I have said the wrong things and offended Master Rom. If I don’t obtain his forgiveness by sunset today, there will be people lining up to kill me. It’s not only me alone, the entire Moreton Family will be involved too.”

“Oh, it seems like Uncle has done something great today.” Gloria nodded with a calm expression. She wasn’t shocked by Cyril’s words or behavior.

Cyril and his family had been setting hers up for the past 10-odd years. That she didn’t kick him while he was down was already taking into account that they lived under the same roof. But now, he still dared to come and ask her for help shamelessly.

Mars nodded slightly when he saw this scene. He had seen Miss Gloria’s improvement with his own eyes in the past few months. He watched her grow from a simple maiden into an inscrutable and mature businesswoman. Her speed of growth had astonished him.

This fellow is really heartless. A hint of gloom flashed across Cyril’s eyes, and he continued to cry in despair. “Gloria, maybe you do not know who Master Rom is—”

“Master Rom is the most famous legendary weaponsmith on the Norland Continent. Alex’s Tian Du sword came from him. Besides that, he forged nearly countless legendary weapons, and he was honored as the number one weaponsmith in Issen Castle. Countless 10th-tier powerhouses would line up to ask him for a weapon that he had personally forged,” Gloria interrupted Cyril. While looking at his surprised expression, she said, “I’m really shocked that Uncle didn’t know who he was, and even dared to offend him.”

“I...” Cyril choked on his words. This fellow knew everything, but she behaved nonchalantly. It was obvious that she wanted to watch him make a fool of himself. Her sarcastic words even made his cheeks hurt.

But it was close to the evening now, and he still couldn’t find anyone else who could put in a good word for him, so he had to pin all his hopes on Gloria.

“The incident has already happened, so it’s useless no matter what I explain now. I only hope you can help me plead with the boss of Mamy Restaurant. Ask him to help me apologize to Master Rom and ask for his forgiveness,” Cyril pleaded with Gloria earnestly. “I know I have done you many wrongs, but I’m really at my wits’ end now. You won’t want to see people lining up to kill your uncle too, right?”

“Mr. Mag?” Surprise flashed through Gloria’s eyes. What did this incident have to do with Mr. Mag?

Mars also showed a perplexed expression. Cyril should be trying his best to get Master Rom’s forgiveness before sunset right now, but what did this got to do with Mr. Mag?

“Yes. I’m afraid only Mr. Mag could help me now.” Cyril swiftly nodded. “Master Rom has just arrived at Chaos City. I’ve heard that Mr. Mag knows Master Rom very well, so there’s no one more suitable than him. As long as he’s willing to put in a good word for me, this incident will definitely be resolved.”

“So, Mr. Mag and Master Rom knew each other?” Gloria was a little surprised, but she didn’t show it on her face. After pondering for a moment, she said, “Then, you should be looking for Mr. Mag. Why did you come to look for me?”

“You also know that he and I have some conflicts. I’m afraid he won’t listen to me if I go and look for him straight away, let alone ask him to help me,” Cyril embarrassedly continued to Gloria. “I know you and he have a good relationship. I hope you can ask him to help me put in a good word with Master Rom since I am your uncle, and this incident will be resolved.”

“Mr. Mag and I only have business dealings with each other. Your request will put me in a very difficult spot.” Gloria pulled her lips into a sarcastic smirk, and said to Cyril, “Furthermore, don’t you think it’s very fake to talk about an uncle-and-niece relationship now? I have never seen you treat my family slightly better because I was your niece.”

“This... This...” Cyril paled and then blushed.

After Cyril’s father chose his older brother to be the successor, he wouldn’t allow Cyril to touch any of the family business. Hence, Cyril could loiter around with those good-for-nothing friends. He didn’t even care when his reputation suffered.

Anyway, no matter how hard he tried, he was no match for his outstanding older brother. Moreover, their father had already chosen his older brother as the successor, and he had never taken a good look at Cyril.

Cyril hated his older brother who gained his father’s favor so easily, so after getting the chance to be the successor, he began to ask for things that he had been missing out on all these years.

Cyril got up from the ground while holding onto the chair. He said to Gloria, “Tell me, what do you want me to do before you will talk to Mag for me?”

“I’ve already made it very clear. Mr. Mag and I are not as close as you imagined.” Gloria still rejected him with a calm expression.

“I don’t want to know about your relationship with him. You’re already a businesswoman now, so let’s talk business. What do you want to gain from me before you would help me,” Cyril said with a frown.

“Perhaps you have already forgotten that I don’t have to do anything to get what I want now.” Gloria smiled.
