Chapter 1657: We Still Have To Obey The Rules In Chaos City After All

Cyril gathered a group of friends at the teahouse. When almost everyone had arrived, he gravely asked, "Do any of you know the boss of Mamy Restaurant?"

A young master in opulent golden clothes chuckled. "The boss of Mamy Restaurant? Is he the guy who keeps thwarting your plans? Why? Are you finally going to teach him a lesson?"

"I've heard this restaurant's boss earns quite a lot. The dishes are exorbitant, and yet the restaurant's full of customers every day. He can earn hundreds of thousands daily," someone chimed in enviously.

"Isn't it still a small restaurant? How dare he antagonize our Young Master Cyril. Do you want us to go to his restaurant? We're not good at anything, but we're great at looking for trouble. We can thrash a shop no matter how good its business is." A ruffian-looking man chuckled as he tried to suck up to Cyril.

Everyone knew a little about Cyril and Gloria's competition, and the boss of Mamy Restaurant seemed to be on Gloria's side. They had heard his name from Cyril a few times.

Cyril asked them about the boss of Mamy Restaurant after he gathered them today. Perhaps he had decided to strike against him?

"I'm not going to make trouble for him. Instead, I need to ask him for help," Cyril said with furrowed brows.

"Ask him for help?" Everyone was shocked to hear that. Cyril actually wanted to ask a restaurant's owner for help. Moreover, it was someone who had always been against him?

Cyril nodded. "I need to ask him for help. Do any of you know him well?"

"Ever since I heard that you didn't like him, I haven't gone to his restaurant. Hence, I don't even know what the boss looks like."

"I have never been there, either."

All of them shook their heads.

"None of you knows him?" Cyril furrowed his brows tightly. It seemed like he couldn't depend on this bunch of good-for-nothing friends at all.

"Doesn't your niece have a great relationship with him?" someone reminded him.

All of them glared at him. This chap got to rub his nose in it. Cyril had been very frustrated lately because of Gloria, and this chap still asked him to go and look for her.

Cyril descended deep in thought after hearing that. Although it was humiliating to ask Gloria for help, and she might even not help him, she was the only person that he could look for now. His pride was nothing when it was compared to his life.

"You guys drink on your own. I need to go now as I have something on." Cyril turned and strode to the door, leaving the rest of them looking at one another in befuddlement.

Someone softly asked, "Did Cyril really go to ask Gloria for help?"

"Mars, is what you said for real?" Gloria asked Mars, who had just returned, with a frown in the lounge of the Blue Suede's new factory.

"I met someone I knew on my way back, and he witnessed that incident personally. I'm afraid Cyril has caused huge trouble this time." Mars nodded, and continued, "However, this is actually a good thing for Young Mistress. Master will lean more toward you even if this matter is resolved eventually."

"We shouldn't care about personal gains when facing such huge troubles. If what you said is true, then Master Rom's followers may take their anger out on the Moreton Family because of Cyril. This is no longer just Cyril's matter alone, it concerns the safety of the hundreds of people in the Moreton Family." Gloria shook her head with a worried expression.

"Young Mistress is still thinking about the family's welfare at this time. You have put me to shame." Mars looked at Gloria with admiration before he chuckled. "However, the Moreton Family has been sinking our roots down in Chaos City for decades, and the reputation of the four major families is not just for show. The city lord's castle and the Gray Temple will not sit back and watch them harm the Moreton Family. Therefore, you don't have to worry too much."

Gloria nodded thoughtfully after hearing that. She still didn't have the full grasp of the Moreton Family's influence. She continued, "But the Marquis Family…"

"That was Bowen and his son asking for it. They decided to run into the city lord's castle's and the Gray Temple's swords. Bennett's incident was enough to make the Marquis Family suffer." Mars shook his head. "However, the father and son's crimes were not serious enough to get them killed, so they will be released sooner or later. But the Marquis Family will never return to their full glory again."

Gloria nodded. "We still have to obey the rules in Chaos City after all."

Right then, a door guard strode in, and respectfully said to Gloria, "Boss, someone who said that he was your uncle requests to see you."

"Uncle?" Gloria frowned, and then doubtfully said, "Could it be Cyril?"

After a moment of pondering, Gloria said to the guard, "Bring him to the lounge."

"Yes." The guard acknowledged and left.

After the guard left, Gloria perplexedly asked, "Perhaps it's because of Master Rom's incident? But I don't know that master, either?"

"He most likely comes to ask you for a favor. Listen to him first, and don't agree to his request directly no matter what he says." Mars was also surprised about Cyril's visit.

"Alright." Gloria nodded. She also wasn't sure about the motive of Cyril's visit.

***

Cyril followed the guards through the factory's gates. He felt rather upset seeing all the neatly lined up factory buildings.

He had gone to Blue Suede's previous factory earlier, but most of them had shifted to the new factory. Gloria had come to the new factory, so he came here as well.

He didn't expect Gloria to have upgraded to the second factory in a few short months. She had invested a great deal of money, and bought a big piece of land in the north of the city to build this big factory. It was at least 10 times bigger than his blacksmith shops.

He wasn't sure about Blue Suede's sales volume now, but judging from his subordinates' information, Blue Suede was already famous in Chaos City. The exorbitant prices didn't douse the ladies' love for it. It was even out of stock often. It was known as the Mamy Restaurant of the fashion world.

Many haute couture orders that belonged to the famous tailors were now transferred to Blue Suede. The factory operated continuously day and night, and yet they still couldn't meet the demand.

However, Gloria had taken over the Moreton Family's entire textile industry now. From the cotton farms to the textile shops that were spread throughout the Norland Continent, the years of accumulated bad practices, the long chain of sales, and the products that had gradually lost their competitiveness had made this industry that was once the Moreton Family's main industry became the leech that was hanging onto the family.

Jeffree had tried to transform it before, but it ended in a failure. There were too many Moretons and old staff who had followed him since he started the business. Furthermore, the problems were very complicated, and there was almost no way for him to start.

Gloria was merely a little girl who had just turned 18 years old. What abilities did she have that could revive the industry that Jeffree had already given up?

It's impossible. That doesn't exist, Cyril thought. He tried to make himself less jealous by taking deep breaths. Then, he began to think about how to ask Gloria for help after he met her.
