Yes, this is the standard pattern in cool novels. Wherever the male protagonist goes, beautiful women will throw themselves at him. When he goes to the police station, he can meet a police beauty. When he takes a plane, he can win the favor of a flight attendant! Even if he picks up a little beggar on the roadside and takes her back to clean up, hey, that's sure to be a great beauty, and most likely the lost little princess of a super big family.
These beautiful women who are taken into the harem all have extraordinary backgrounds. Once they fall in love with the male protagonist, the families behind them will also stand up to support the male protagonist and help him rise.
The reason why Yegor chose Milan as his first stop after returning to the country was that he had his eye on the many beautiful women here. He planned to expand his harem group here while conquering the major families in Milan and making them his backers, so as to help him gradually gain a firm foothold in Europe and build his own huge power.
"Is Old Master Tony in good health recently? Did he take the medicine I prescribed for him on time?" Alice walked up to Tony with a sweet smile on her face and asked softly.
"Yes, I really have to thank you. My grandfather's health has been much better after taking the medicine you prescribed." Tony quickly thanked Alice with a smile.
"Brother Tony, why are you being so polite to me?" Alice gave Tony an affectionate yet reproachful look, seeming a bit dissatisfied with his overly polite attitude.
The George family where Alice belongs has been practicing medicine for generations and is also a big family with a hundred-year inheritance in Milan. They have always had close exchanges with the Thomson family. With the protection of the Thomson family, no one in Milan dares to provoke the George family. Similarly, if anyone in the Thomson family is unwell, the people of the George family will always go to help with the diagnosis and treatment at the first time.
Alice and Tony have known each other since childhood, and their relationship is as close as that of brother and sister.
[Haha, if I'm not polite to you, I'll be in trouble again today.]
[Since you're a member of that Yegor's harem, that playboy is really greedy.]
[Alas, it's such a pity that my lovely sister Alice will be taken by him. I don't know what the author was thinking. He must be out of his mind.]
Suddenly hearing this series of inner thoughts, Alice was stunned and looked completely confused. I'm Yegor's harem? Who is Yegor? She widened her eyes and looked at Tony in disbelief, asking, "Brother Tony, what are you talking about?"
"Ah? I didn't say anything." Tony subconsciously touched his nose, wondering in his heart why all these women were so strange today and didn't seem right.
Alice was also a bit confused. She had heard it clearly, and that voice was definitely Brother Tony's.
Fortunately, at this time, a caregiver from the Vandrode family came over. Seeing Alice, he quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Doctor Alice is here. Old Earl Vandrode has just woken up. Doctor Alice, would you like to take a rest first or go there now?"
"Let's go now." Alice patted the small medical kit she carried with her, which contained her silver needles and various medical tools.
"I'll go with you too." Tony quickly picked up the gift he had brought and followed behind.
After passing through several long corridors, the three of them came to the entrance of an exquisite small courtyard. This was where Old Earl Vandrode lived.
There was a couplet pasted on the door of the small courtyard, which was written by Old Earl Vandrode himself.
"Reading is good, farming is good, as long as you learn well, it's good."
"Starting a business is difficult, maintaining it is difficult, knowing the difficulties makes it not so difficult."
Tony glanced at the couplet and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly. This must be another foreshadowing laid by the author. Later, when Yegor comes, he will surely be able to remember this couplet at a glance and then talk about this topic with Old Earl Vandrode. Then, the old earl will think that Yegor is a talented and omnipotent young man and will surely be a great person in the future. He'll be eager to become sworn brothers with him immediately, vowing not to be born on the same day, month, and year, but only hoping...
Just after he rolled his eyes, several people from the Vandrode family walked over from behind. And accompanying them was naturally the Dragon King Yegor.
"Oh, isn't this little Tony? You've come to visit the old earl?" Seeing Tony, several people from the Vandrode family greeted him with smiles.
"Hello, uncles and aunts..." Tony also quickly greeted these elders with a smile.
Yegor, who was standing at the back of the crowd, saw Tony and his eyes instantly became icy cold, filled with thick murderous intent. He had originally thought of getting rid of this rich young master who dared to compete with him for women today. But on second thought, he hadn't been back in the country for long and his foundation hadn't been stabilized yet. If he made a big fuss, it would be unfavorable to his plan instead. So, he suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and planned to think long-term.
Their eyes met in the air for a moment, and Tony wisely looked away. According to the normal plot development, his role as a villain should stand up and provoke Yegor and trample on him a few times at this time. But Tony wasn't stupid. Humph, he's the author's favorite, protected by the protagonist's halo. If he provokes him, he'll be asking for trouble.
Several people walked into the small courtyard together, and soon they saw Old Earl Vandrode lying on the sickbed. Because of hemiplegia, half of the old earl's body had lost sensation and he couldn't get out of bed and move freely by himself.
However, seeing that everyone had come to visit him, the old earl was quite pleased in his heart. With a smile on his face, although his speech was a bit slurred, he still tried hard to greet everyone.
"Father, take a rest first and don't talk. Your health is the most important thing."
"Yes, Doctor Alice has come to treat you today. She will surely cure you."
"Grandpa Vandrode, please rest assured and recover. After Alice cures you, I'll come to play chess with you again." Tony also quickly stepped forward to offer his greetings. Today's task was almost half completed. Next, he just needed to quietly watch Yegor show off to his heart's content.
At this moment, Yegor was standing at the back carefully observing Old Earl Vandrode's condition. As an all-round master, his medical skills were naturally top-notch. He had already mastered the skills of inspection, auscultation, interrogation, and palpation to perfection. He could even tell where there was something wrong with a patient's body without taking the pulse.
Standing beside him was Victor, the only son of the second master of the Vandrode family. He was quite good-looking, with a slightly feminine temperament on his face, fully meeting the standards of a tall, rich, and handsome man. In terms of talent alone, among the rich young masters in Milan, he could be considered above average.
However, compared with Evelyn, he was far inferior. In the past, the Vandrode family ranked third among the four major families, and its strength was not as good as that of the Rossi family. But since Evelyn joined the family enterprise, the assets of the Vandrode family had increased by 80 billion in just three years! It can be seen that Evelyn had extremely high talent in business.
Her light was so dazzling that Victor seemed a bit mediocre in comparison. Unwilling to accept this, Victor finally chose to collude with outsiders just to compete for the power of the Vandrode family. As for the outcome, it can be imagined that it definitely wouldn't be good.
"We're both villains. I really sympathize with you." Tony looked at Victor and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Unfortunately, Victor didn't have the good luck like the female leads and couldn't hear Tony's inner thoughts at all.
At this time, Victor was a bit nervous. Looking at Yegor, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Yegor, how confident are you about my grandfather's illness?"
According to the plan they had discussed before, after Yegor cured his grandfather and won his grandfather's appreciation, he would then approach Evelyn. In the end, Yegor would win the beauty, and he himself could control the power of the whole family. What a "perfect" plan!
Yegor calmly stretched out one hand.
"Fifty percent?" Victor was immediately dumbfounded. The success rate was too low. How could this work?
"What I mean is that it's all under control." Yegor was slightly unhappy in his heart and thought to himself: How stupid! No wonder you were so stupid as to invite a wolf into the house and come to cooperate with me. After I get Evelyn, you'll be the second stumbling block I'll crush. As for the first one, it's naturally that guy from the Thomson family standing beside us.
"Brother Yegor is really remarkable." Victor smiled and sincerely praised. In his opinion, with such a powerful helper as Yegor, what was there to worry about in achieving great things?
