After the group returned to the hall, the old Earl of the Thomson family first expressed his sincere gratitude to the guests who had come to celebrate his birthday.
Then, he called Tony and Sophia to his side and solemnly announced to everyone, "Dear relatives and friends, there is another piece of happy news to share with you all today."
"Our Thomson family has decided to form an alliance with the Sulokov family. From today on, Sophia will be the prospective daughter-in-law of our Thomson family."
After the old Earl's announcement, the guests at the banquet immediately burst into applause to offer their congratulations.
The members of the Sulokov family were even more beaming with joy.
However, Yegor, who had been quietly savoring red wine in the corner, suddenly had a gloomy look on his face!
His face was full of murderous intent as he strode towards Tony.
Sophia was the woman he had his eye on, and anyone who dared to covet her would have to pay a heavy price!
[Damn it! Here he comes, here he comes. He's coming over with that murderous look.]
[Damn this plot. Am I doomed to get beaten up today?]
At this time, Tony's complaints rang in Sophia's ears once again.
Sophia looked up and indeed saw Yegor walking over with an angry look on his face, which shocked her a little.
Today, the members of the Sulokov family had come to the banquet, and naturally, they wouldn't bring bodyguards with them.
But Yegor was actually here? And the situation was exactly the same as what Tony had said."I don't agree to this marriage."
Yegor shouted angrily with a cold face when he walked to a place about three meters away. Everyone's eyes instantly focused on him.
All the guests present today were from noble families in Milan.
Except for a very few people from the Sulokov family, hardly anyone knew who Yegor was.
Sergei still remembered this Yegor, who was the new bodyguard at home.
Seeing him causing trouble, Sergei's face darkened and he stood up and reprimanded, "Who do you think you are? You're just a little bodyguard. The affairs of my Sulokov family are none of your business!"
A sharp murderous intent flashed in Yegor's eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that the speaker was Sophia's father, he might have already taken action by now.
He thought to himself that he was the mighty Dragonborn God of War!
He was renowned overseas!
Even the European royal families wouldn't dare to talk to him like this!
He stared coldly at the members of the Sulokov family, pointed at them one by one with his finger, and said loudly, "The noble Sulokov family, as a prominent and noble family, is sacrificing a girl's happiness for the prosperity of the family. Have you all lost your conscience?"
[Haha, here it comes, here it comes. The classic trash-talking scene has begun.]
[It's bad enough to meddle in other people's business. Later, you'll even start a fight, and then there will be a heroic rescue of the beauty. In the end, it's the Sulokov family that will suffer.]
[But this is the protagonist of a cool novel. One man's success is built on the bones of thousands. Anyway, everyone is just a stepping stone for you. No big deal.]
Tony's complaints rang out again.
According to the original plot, Sophia, forced by her family, had no choice but to agree to the marriage alliance.
And at her most desperate moment, Yegor, the Dragonborn God of War, stepped in and took her away!
Yegor broke through the shackles in her heart and became her only reliance!
She then fell in love with Yegor and became the first among his many harem beauties!
But at this moment, Sophia frowned slightly, without the slightest feeling of being touched or surprised in her heart.
After listening to Tony's inner thoughts for a long time, her mindset had completely changed.
"How dare you! A little bodyguard is being so presumptuous. Get him out of here!" Sergei roared furiously.
Soon, a tall man in a suit rushed over hurriedly.
This man was Hans, the captain of the bodyguards of the Thomson family.
Hans was a retired special forces soldier.
Since he could serve as the captain of the bodyguards of the Thomson family, his fighting skills were naturally quite remarkable, and he was also extremely loyal to the Thomson family.
According to the original plot development, he would be the first to take action.
Of course, he would also be the first unlucky one to be killed. After he was dealt with, it would soon be Tony's turn to suffer.
"Don't be impulsive." Tony rushed forward hurriedly and stopped Hans, persuading him, "Let's talk things over.
Today is my grandfather's birthday. It won't be good if we start a fight and spoil the harmony."
Seeing that the eldest young master had spoken, Hans stopped.
"Look at that. Young Master Thomson is so well-mannered and doesn't stoop to the level of such a brute."
"If it were me, I would have dragged this guy out long ago, beaten him to death with sticks, and thrown him to the dogs."
"I think this guy probably wants to steal Young Master Thomson's woman. Look at his shabby appearance. He should take a good look at himself in the mirror!"
"Young Master Thomson, use your wisdom to humiliate him properly."
The onlookers around all praised Tony's grace and didn't forget to belittle Yegor at the same time. This was also the usual routine of cool novels.
First, use the words of passers-by to increase the protagonist's anger, then the villain would jump out and say a few arrogant words, and then be killed by the protagonist with one punch.
Tony was extremely panicked after hearing these words.
Why are you guys shouting so loudly!
Can't you be a bit more polite?
You're having a great time scolding now, but I'll be the unlucky one later!
Sure enough, after hearing these passers-by's sarcastic remarks, Yegor's face instantly turned livid as he stared fixedly at Tony.
In his opinion, Tony was the root cause of all this.
If it weren't for him constantly pestering Sophia, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
[Damn it! Why are you staring at me? I'm not the one who scolded you.]
[I've already told the bodyguard not to take action. What else do you want? If you want to take her away, just do it quickly. Don't come after me, you idiot!]
Tony felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by Yegor and secretly groaned in his heart.
This guy is the Dragonborn God of War! Perhaps all the bodyguards of the Thomson family combined wouldn't be his match!
If he really got angry, before long, these people would be attending his own memorial banquet in the Thomson family.
Sophia couldn't help but chuckle after listening for a long time. Seeing Sophia laugh, Yegor's face softened a little.
He thought that Sophia was laughing because he had stood up for her, so he showed a confident smile to Sophia, with the corners of his mouth stretching out exaggeratedly, and walked over to say,
"Sophia, no one can trade your freedom for benefits. With me by your side, you can go wherever you want. Whoever dares to stop you, I'll make sure they die!"
Tony, on the other hand, quietly took two steps back without showing any sign, putting some distance between them, and was rather excited in his heart.
[Yes, come on! Let the hero and heroine hold hands and leave quickly.]
In the original plot, Tony would have already rushed forward with the bodyguards to start a fight at this time.
But now he had already stopped the bodyguards!
As long as this guy took Sophia away, then the following things would have nothing to do with him.
Yegor walked forward, reaching out to grab Sophia's hand, ready to take her away from the Thomson family.
However, before his hand could touch Sophia, Sophia had already taken two steps back, looking at him coldly and saying, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? When was my freedom sacrificed?"
After listening to Tony's inner thoughts for a long time, she had roughly understood the situation she was in.
It seemed that the world she was in was a fictional novel world.
According to the normal plot development, she should have already eloped with this guy by now.
But just thinking about becoming one of this guy's harem made her feel extremely disgusted.
A shocked look appeared on Yegor's face, and a flash of anger passed through his eyes.
This woman, how dare she reject him?
Didn't she understand that when the whole world was against her, he was the only one willing to fight against the whole world for her?
However, he quickly regained his composure and looked at Sophia with a gentle smile, saying, "Sophia, I know what you're afraid of. Don't worry. With me here, the Thomson family won't dare to do anything to you."
After saying that, he looked at Tony with icy eyes.
In his opinion, the reason why Sophia didn't dare to leave with him must be because she was being coerced by Tony.
Just the eldest son of the Thomson family?
He didn't think much of him at all!
If this were abroad, with just one order from him, he could summon a hundred or so mercenaries and wipe out the Thomson family in an instant.
[Are you out of your mind? What does this have to do with me? I've already told the bodyguards to stay out of it.]
[And Sophia, you're so cruel. Do you have to put on such an act just to protect him?]
[I'll give you a million. Just go as far away as you can. Stop torturing me. Oh, God.]
Tony really wanted to die at this moment. These two people, they're both out of their minds!
"You're overthinking it. You're just a bodyguard of our Sulokov family. Starting from today, you're fired. Please leave here immediately."
A look of anger appeared on Sophia's beautiful face as she pointed at the door and said loudly.
However, this anger wasn't just directed at Yegor.
Tony was also "lucky" enough to be affected.
Damn this guy.
Why was he still muttering in his heart that there was something between her and Yegor?
The more Sophia said this, the sweeter Yegor thought it was.
He thought to himself, Look, she's protecting me, that's why she's deliberately putting on this fierce look!
She must have feelings for me in her heart!
She really was the woman he had his eye on. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also so understanding.
So, he looked at Sophia with even more tenderness and affection in his eyes.
The smile on the corners of his mouth became even more confident as he said,
"Sophia, I won't leave you. As long as I'm by your side, you don't have to be afraid of anything. The Thomson family is nothing to be feared."
