Question About Shady Guy and Factions

During a case the Shady Guy "approached me" and told me not to work on my present case or he would fix it so that I wouldn't work on another (or something to that effect).

Anyway, true to my nature, I solved it regardless of his threat and he wasn't too happy with me afterwards. My question is this: Does this matter or make a difference in my game at all? I understand the faction stuff to a point, however, does Shady matter? Does anyone have suggestions for me about factions and their favoritism toward me? Which ones are best not to tick off? I hate to quit a case, however, I would for a good cause. Please, help me with some pointers here before I get too far along. Thanks.

As far as the "Shady Guy" stuff, no, that particular twist has no bearing on anything you do or anything that can help you. Sorry.

There is a similar twist that many people tend to get confused with Shady that may be of interest, however. Once in a while, you may get a mid-case twist talking about a 'rat-faced, sleazy' schmuck of a character who goes around in a greasy raincoat. His name is Larry the Toe (aka-Larry the Twerp, Larry the Chump, etc.). His only mission in life is to advertise the whereabouts of a certain 'underground' nightclub called Big Lucy's Cabaret. While Shady doesn't want your money at the end of the case, Larry will tell you the location of the Cabaret in exchange for crossing his palm with $500 of your hard-earned money. Is it worth it? If you're tight on money, no, it's not. But it IS a place where you can find interesting items for sale (including some rather cheap reading material), leave a message on the Cabaret's message board, and generally encounter some rather colorful characters....;-)
