Uncle Cyril, what a rare guest. " Gloria sat at the head of the table and looked at Cyril with a smile. "Please sit here."
Cyril's eyelids twitched when he saw that Gloria didn't get up to greet him. He then looked at Mars behind her and a haze flashed across his eyes. However, he quickly put on a smile and nodded. "I heard that you recently moved to a new factory. As your uncle, of course I have to come and take a look."
"Thank you, uncle." Gloria nodded slightly. She looked at Cyril and didn't say anything else.
Cyril was still waiting for Gloria to ask him why he was here. He was just about to tell her that he wanted her to introduce him to Mamy Restaurant's boss and ask him for help, but the atmosphere suddenly froze in an awkward manner.
After a moment of silence, Cyril saw that Gloria didn't even intend to serve him tea. However, he couldn't just leave in a huff. He could only smile awkwardly and say, "Actually, I came here today to ask for your help."
"With Uncle Cyril's ability, is there anything else that you need my help with?" Gloria asked with a smile.
"This …" Cyril wanted to find a hole to hide in. There was no possibility of reconciliation between him and Gloria when it came to the inheritance. Asking for her help was the same as asking for a slap in his face.
If he was in Gloria's shoes, he wouldn't just stand by and watch. It would be good enough if he didn't step in and kick her when she was down.
"This lass has become shrewd. She's not so easy to fool." Cyril looked at the unmoved Gloria. He rolled his eyes and slid down from the chair. He sat on the ground and said with a sorrowful face, "Gloria, you have to help me. My mouth was mean today and offended Master Rôme. If I don't get his forgiveness before sunset today, people will line up to kill me. Not only me, but the whole Family Moreton will be implicated."
"Oh, it seems that uncle has done something big today." Gloria nodded slightly. Her expression was as calm as an ancient well. She wasn't surprised by Cyril's words and behavior.
In the past decade or so, Cyril and his family had played many tricks on her family. The fact that she hadn't kicked them while they were down was already a sign of consideration for them living under the same roof. But now, Cyril was shamelessly begging her.
Mars nodded slightly when he saw this scene. He had seen Miss Gloria's improvement in the past few months with his own eyes. She had grown from an innocent girl to a mature businesswoman who didn't like to show her face. Her speed was so fast that it surprised him.
"This fellow is really heartless." Cyril's eyes darkened. He continued to play the victim. "Gloria, you might not know who that Master Rôme is …"
"Master Rôme is the most famous legendary blacksmith on the Norland Continent. Alex's Tian Du sword was made by him. Other than that, he has also forged countless divine weapons. He is known as the number one blacksmith in Issen Castle. There are dozens of powerhouses lining up to ask for a weapon made by him." Gloria interrupted Cyril's words. She looked at him with surprise, and said, "I'm very surprised that you don't know who he is, Uncle, and even dared to offend him."
"I …" Cyril didn't know what to say. This guy knew everything, yet he acted as if it didn't matter to him. It was clear that he wanted to see him make a fool of himself, and the mockery in his voice made him feel as if his cheeks were being stung.
However, it was almost evening now, and he couldn't find a second person who could plead for him. He could only pin all his hopes on Gloria.
"It has already happened. It's useless no matter how I explain now. I only hope that you can help me plead with the boss of Mamy's. Ask him to help me apologize to Master Rôme and ask for his forgiveness." Cyril looked at Gloria with a sincere expression. "I know I've done many things to you in the past, but I really have no choice this time. You don't want to see your uncle get beaten to death, right?"
"Mr. Meg?" A hint of surprise appeared in Gloria's eyes. How did this have anything to do with Mr. Meg again?
Mars was also puzzled. The most important thing for Cyril to do now was to get Master Rôme's forgiveness before nightfall, but what did this have to do with Mr. Meg?
"Yes. I'm afraid only Mr. Meg can help with this matter." Cyril quickly nodded, and said, "Master Rôme has just arrived in Chaos City. I heard that Mr. Meg is very close to Master Rôme. There's no one more suitable than him. As long as he's willing to plead for me, this matter will definitely be over."
"So Mr. Meg and Master Rôme are old friends?" Gloria was a little surprised, but she didn't show much surprise on her face. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Then you should go to Mr. Meg for this matter. Why did you come to me?"
"You know that I have some conflicts with him in the past. If I go to him directly, I'm afraid I won't even be able to talk to him, let alone ask him for help." Cyril looked at Gloria with an awkward expression, and said, "I know you're very close to him. I hope you can ask him to put in a good word for me in front of Master Rôme on account of me being your uncle, and this matter will be over."
"Mr. Meg and I only have business dealings. Your request will put me in a difficult position." Gloria smiled mockingly as she looked at Cyril, and said, "Besides, don't you think it's too fake to talk about uncle and niece at a time like this? I've never seen you treat my family so well before just because I'm your niece. "
"This … this …" Cyril's face turned green, and then red.
When his father chose his brother as his successor, he didn't let him touch any of the family business. He could only wander around with his friends, and he didn't care about his reputation.
Anyway, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compete with his brother who was better than him in every aspect. His father had already chosen his brother as the successor, and he never looked him in the eye.
He hated his brother who easily got his father's approval, so after he got the chance to inherit the family business, he began to ask for what he had been missing for many years.
Cyril stood up with the help of a chair, and looked at Gloria, and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you to ask Meg for me?"
"I've already said it very clearly. My relationship with Mr. Meg isn't as close as you think." Gloria still calmly refused.
"I don't want to know the relationship between you two. You're a businessman now, so let's talk about business. What do you want from me, and I'll get help from you?" Cyril frowned.
"You might have forgotten, but I can get what I want without doing anything." Gloria smiled.
