Chapter 1448: Is There A Rule That Limits The Number Of Family Members? Allowed

All the intense gazes made the ladies from Mamy Restaurant slightly uncomfortable.

Yabemiya blushed a little as she softly asked Elizabeth, “Is my makeup smudged? Why are so many people staring at me?”

Elizabeth looked at her face seriously before calmly replying, “It’s not. It still looks good.”

Jane hid among the crowd with her head slightly lowered. It was terrifying for her to be stared at by so many people. She just wanted to hide away.

Babla looked very collected instead. She was already used to being the center of attention. This was only a small occasion.

Mag was walking right at the very front, holding a cute lolita on both his sides and followed by eight beautiful young maidens. He emitted a presence of a successful man.

The server took the invite from Mag. After verifying it carefully, he looked at the big group of beautiful ladies, and hesitantly said, “Sir, the invite is authentic, but according to the rules, only family members are allowed to attend the banquet. You have brought so many people with you…”

“Yes. They’re all my family members. Is there a rule that limits the number of family members allowed?” Mr. Mag asked with a smile.

“This…” That server and all the surrounding men sucked in a breath of cold air. Their gazes that were focused on Mag changed, and they became green with envy.

“Animal!”

The men looked at the bevy of beautiful young maidens. There were an innocent elven maiden, an energetic half-dragon maiden, cool and aloof dragon maiden, sexy mermaid…

Meanwhile, Miya’s and the ladies’ expressions were also a little weird. There seemed to be something wrong somewhere?

“There’s no such rule. Please enter,” the server said with a complicated expression as he returned the invite to Mag.

“Thank you.” Mag kept the invite and continued on.

“Wait a sec. Could this lady please remove the unidentified object from her head? This may cause distress to other guests.” The server noticed Connie in the crowd, and put up an arm to stop them again.

Everyone’s gazes began to land on Connie too. She looked like a petite maiden from her figure, but she was wearing a weird object that covered her whole head. They couldn’t even see her eyes, let alone her face. It was indeed rather peculiar.

“Do you know what she is wearing on her head?” Mag asked that server as he waved his hand, gesturing for Connie to come over.

“No, I don’t.” The server shook his head.

“Then, do you know that her clothes are from Blue Suede Fashion, and their presale price is more than 15,000 copper coins?” Mag continued to ask smilingly.

“An expensive suit of clothes.” The server’s attitude became even more respectful.

“Then, do you know the price of this latest headwear that she is wearing is 10 times that of her clothes?” Mag continued asking.

“10 times!” That server moved his Adam’s apple before looking at that helmet which was gleaming with a blue glow. The helmet seemed even brighter than it was before.

“This headwear looks rather cool. Where can I buy it?” a young man behind him asked curiously.

Is this the latest trend now? Covering up the entire head? A wealthy lady who had lots of hair accessories made up of gold and gemstones in her hair secretly noted that down in her heart. She was going to get someone to custom-make one for her when she got back.

“Does the banquet have a requirement on the guests’ headwear?” Mag asked.

“Esteemed guests, please enter.” The server bowed humbly.

Mag nodded slightly before leading the ladies forward on the red carpet.

“If we are all family members, so we are one family?” Amy asked curiously.

All the ladies looked at Mag. Some with a judgmental gaze, while there were a few other expectant gazes.

Mag nodded with a natural expression. “Yes. We are one family from Mamy Restaurant.”

“Yes. This is great.” Yabemiya smiled. “I, too, like this feeling of one family.”

The others were smiling too. They seemed to be rather satisfied with Mag’s answer.

Mag heaved a breath of relief in his heart. Even though it was simply to go through security, he still had to give his wits a thumbs up.

Going through the long corridor, they arrived at the huge banquet hall. Countless candles lit up the banquet hall, and people were chatting in small groups. The banquet hadn’t begun yet.

Mag brought the ladies to a position near a corner. Such banquets were rather boring. If it wasn’t for Gloria and Cyril having a vote-off, he wouldn’t be interested to come.

He noticed Cyril standing by the door when he came in. That green hat was so bright that it was impossible to ignore him[1].

When compared to Gloria, apart from being a male, Cyril was not Gloria’s match in every other aspect.

In this world, patriarchal attitudes were still deeply rooted. Scheer, who became the head of a clan, was still an exception.

However, Mag would be happy to see Gloria become the next head of the Moreton Family, and it wasn’t simply because they were friends. He, too, had some selfish thoughts.

Once Gloria became the head of the Moreton Family, regardless if it was Scheer or Cyril[2] who became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce would be different from now. It was equal to accomplishing what he had set out to do at first.

All the ladies were rather curious about the banquet. In particular, Yabemiya, Gina, Jane, and Rena who had never been to a banquet like this before were looking around curiously.

Beautiful maidens were always the center of attention at a banquet, especially when they gathered together. Even if they were in a corner, they still became one of the main focuses.

“Boss Mag, I didn’t expect you would be here. Moreover, all the beautiful ladies from the restaurant are here too. Is it possible that we would be very fortunate to eat Boss Mag’s cooking at tonight’s banquet?” a voice spoke from the side.

Mag turned around and saw Robert, the president of the Food Association, coming over with a glass of red wine in his hand. He smiled. “What a coincidence to meet President Robert here. I’m simply here to join the occasion today. I’m not in charge of the catering.”

“Oh, I see. It’s such a pity,” Robert said rather regretfully. However, he didn’t comment too much on that topic. After making some small talk with Mag, he was brought away by others who came to talk to him.

After that, there were restaurant’s other regulars coming over to greet Mag as well. Mamy Restaurant was Chaos City’s most famous restaurant now, so it wasn’t surprising that members of the Chamber of Commerce always frequented it. After all, normal families couldn’t afford to eat there every day.

After the ladies got Mag’s approval, they, too, began to move around the banquet hall. Amy led Anna to the buffet area, and began to eat to her heart’s content.

“I’m warning you now. If you continue to touch me with your filthy hands, you are going to have an ugly death.” A voice with a tinge of coldness and disgust appeared at the side.

Mag turned around, and saw Babla staring at a young man with yellow hair who was blocking her way.

[1] “Wearing a green hat” is a figurative expression in Chinese that means a man is being cheated on by his wife. Iirc, there used to be a law during one of the later Chinese dynasties that forced either family members or husbands of prostitutes to wear green hats, hence the phrase. If you’re going to China and have a green hat or cap, never, ever put it on.

[2] I think the author meant Gloria.
