Chapter 164: Breakthrough and Engagement
Zhou Tao smiled at the side and said: "Grandpa, grandma, you don't need to say thank you or anything, they are all family members. It's just a little effort for me, it's nothing!"
Evani also said happily: "Yes, grandpa, grandma, Zhou Tao is one of our own, there is no need to thank him, Gege!"
Tony looked at his granddaughter with a happy face, a smile oozed from his mouth, and said: "Yes, yes, they are all family members, haha! Evanie, you have really good taste, grandpa is really happy for you!"
After everyone's emotions stabilized, Zhou Tao said: "Grandpa, let me treat you again. From now on, you must insist on treatment every day. You will definitely be cured in twenty days!"
Tony said happily: "Okay, I'll do as you say!" Then he lay down and let Zhou Tao perform the exercises.
This time, since the meridians have been dredged just now, Zhou Tao no longer has to worry about the meridians bursting, and Zhou Tao can transport the true energy in faster.
With the continuous flow of infuriating energy, Tony's face became more and more rosy, and Zhou Tao's head began to sweat, looking a little labored.
After half an hour of this, Zhou Tao slowly stopped his exercises and said to the three of them: "I want to practice and recover. Don't disturb me, otherwise you will be in danger!"
The three of them nodded, and Evani went out and closed the door to prevent anyone from coming in and surprising Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao sat cross-legged on the ground and slowly began to use his skills to make up for the energy he had just consumed.
Tony and the other three looked at Zhou Tao from a distance, seeing bursts of smoke coming out of his body. They felt extremely magical. However, in order not to disturb Zhou Tao, they could only hide all their confusion in their hearts.
Zhou Tao, who was practicing martial arts, felt ecstatic in his heart at this time. His skills, which had not improved for a long time, actually showed a slight looseness after treating Tony's injuries this time, and he was about to break through the shackles and enter the innate realm!
Suddenly there was a throbbing in his heart, because his mood changed too much, and there were signs of going crazy. Zhou Tao was shocked and immediately calmed down.
Fortunately, after many years of experience, his mind has become extremely calm. After several efforts, he finally stabilized his mood again. He has no desires and desires and concentrates on training.
"Boom!" A surging energy that he had never felt before poured into all parts of his body from his Dantian. Zhou Tao suddenly felt that his body was full of power, ten times stronger than before the treatment, innate realm!
Zhou Tao could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart at this time. He jumped up with a roar and performed more than ten somersaults on the ground, leaving Tony and the other three stunned.
After a while, Zhou Tao suppressed the joy in his heart, walked up to the three of them and said, "I'm sorry, I was so excited just now, I couldn't control it for a moment, and I frightened you!"
Tony smiled and said: "What are you so happy about?"
Zhou Tao chuckled and said: "This time helping grandpa heal his injuries has actually made my skills go to a higher level, reaching a level that many people can't reach in their lifetime. This may be the so-called good intentions are rewarded!"
Evani was extremely excited after hearing this: "Zhou Tao, aren't you more powerful now, and you will be less afraid of those bad people in the future!"
Zhou Tao said with a smile: "Compared to just now, my strength has increased at least ten times!"
Tony exclaimed: "Your Chinese Kung Fu is really amazing. You can actually increase your strength tenfold in an instant. This is really incredible!"
Zhou Tao said: "Now that my skills have improved, I am more confident about grandpa's leg. It will heal in about ten days, and grandpa can travel to China with us!"
Tony said in surprise: "Ten days faster? Oh my god, this is really unbelievable!"
Grandma was so happy that she burst into tears. She held Zhou Tao's hand and said, "Good boy, thanks to you, our old man has hope!"
Since the leg injury was expected to be cured, Tony was in a good mood and issued an order. Except for those who could not make it back abroad, all the rest of the tribe returned to the manor to attend the celebration reception in the evening.
Zhou Tao and Evani walked hand in hand in the shade, watching the servants in the manor busy and carrying various things to decorate the venue, which looked very lively.
"Do you often hold cocktail parties like this?" Zhou Tao suddenly asked
"No, there are about five or six times every year. They are all held when there are big happy events. They will definitely be held on occasions like grandparents' birthdays," Evani said with a smile.
"Isn't the scale particularly large?" Zhou Tao asked like a curious baby.
Evani smiled sweetly and said: "Of course, our family is very big. Today you only saw my grandmother. My grandfather also has three wives, and my father also has two wives, plus my grandfather's brother."
Sisters, my father’s brothers and sisters, there are dozens of people in the main house alone, and there are many in the side houses. Besides, many of us who got married brought back their families, which totaled about two to three hundred people.
Sometimes we also invite some friends and celebrities, so there are even more people! Besides, our family also has a large number of guards, at least two to three hundred."
"Wow! It's really a big family, with hundreds of people, a bit like our ancient families! I heard that the big families in ancient times in our country had hundreds or even thousands of people and hundreds of diners, which was almost the same as yours." Zhou Tao exclaimed
Tao, I didn’t expect that there would be such a big family in modern society.
"So, our family is very powerful, with people in various fields. Basically nothing can trouble us, and few people dare to openly challenge our bottom line. Even Antonioli, the former leader of the mafia,
, after plotting against my grandfather, we forced him not to show his face again," Evani said proudly
"Ouch, if I bully you in the future, won't I be hunted down for thousands of miles?" Zhou Tao joked.
"Hmph, if you dare to bully me, I will ask grandpa to send someone to capture you and torture you!" Evani raised her fist cutely and threatened.
"Oh, I'm so scared! Heroine, please spare your life, I don't dare to do it anymore!" Zhou Tao started laughing and joking with her.
In the distance, Mr. and Mrs. Tony looked at their two little children and smiled knowingly. They thought that they had come here in the same way back then. They really missed them!
As night falls, Mancini Manor gradually becomes lively. The reception is held in the reception center of the manor. The reception center, which can accommodate 2,000 people, is decorated magnificently and creates a festive atmosphere.
On the lawn at the door, all kinds of luxury cars gathered, showing the status of the people. They are all rich and powerful people.
In the hall, many young handsome men gathered in groups holding red wine, talking in low voices from time to time, and bursting into laughter from time to time.
At eight o'clock, Zhou Tao and Evani slowly pushed Tony in from the door. Grandma and three other old women followed closely behind. The hall suddenly became quiet. The old patriarch arrived. Who dares to be disrespectful?
Tomasi and his three ladies came up to meet him and said, "Father, you are here! Come and sit inside quickly."
Tony was pushed to the center of the stage. He looked at the people in the hall with a smile on his face and said loudly: "Everyone, there are three things to announce at this reception tonight. The first one is that my legs will soon be restored."
Cured!"
The audience suddenly burst into thunderous cheers. This news was so powerful. The old patriarch was the backbone of the family. After suffering an injury in the past few years, he passed the position of patriarch to Tomasi. Although Tomasi was also very capable, he was relatively weak.
There is still a gap in comparison. In other words, there is more than enough persistence but not enough innovation.
Now that the old patriarch's injury is about to improve, it will be of great benefit to the development of the family. Those things that he gave up because of his retirement will be put back on the road one by one.
Tony waved his hand, and the audience suddenly became quiet. Tony smiled and said: "The second thing is that Evani has finally grown up. Today happens to be her eighteenth birthday, so this cocktail party is actually her
birthday party!”
Zhou Tao was quite surprised. He didn't expect that today was Evani's birthday. He looked at Evani and saw a sly smile on her face, looking at him unblinkingly.
At this time, a cart with a huge cake was pushed in from the front. The cake was one meter in diameter and about three meters high. It read: Happy adulthood, Evanie!
Many tribesmen immediately congratulated Evani and presented gifts one after another. It seemed that they had known about this for a long time, and the only one who had been kept secret was Zhou Tao!
After everyone finished giving gifts, Tony said loudly: "This third thing is the most important thing. Evani is about to get engaged to Zhou Tao, who is from China next to me!"
The audience was in an uproar. This happened so suddenly. Although many of them had heard about Evani and Zhou Tao's love, they never expected that they would talk about marriage so soon.
Zhou Tao and Evani were also a little stunned. The old man didn't tell them about this today, so why did he suddenly announce it?
Evani was surprised and happy. Grandpa announced this in public, which meant that they completely agreed on her and Zhou Tao's affairs, and she would be able to be with Zhou Tao openly in the future.
However, some people were happy and some were worried. Several young people in the audience clearly showed extremely disappointed expressions on their faces. However, due to the face of the old patriarch, they did not dare to attack him face to face.
After Tony announced three things, he asked Zhou Tao and Evani to push him off the stage and sit with his grandma and
Zhou Taoze and Evani walked around with red wine. Evani kept introducing some tribesmen to him. Those people knew that he was Evani's fiancé and the famous Zhou Tao. They all seemed very respectful and congratulated them one after another.
At this time, several young people came over with wine. Evani looked a little unhappy when she saw them, but she didn't say anything. Instead, those few people spoke first. A handsome young man in his twenties or three raised a glass to Evani.
Ni said: "Evanie, I didn't expect you to get engaged so soon. It really makes me sad. It seems that my sincerity has been in vain!"
Evani obviously didn't like him very much, and said calmly: "I never need your sincerity, because I don't like you at all. I'm sorry, you should find another love!"
The young man looked at Zhou Tao and said, "Evani, is he really that good?"
Evani held Zhou Tao's hand and said: "Whether he is good or not is my own business and has nothing to do with you. I will find someone else, so you can do it yourself!"
The man wanted to talk again, but Evani didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. She took Zhou Tao's hand and walked to the other side, chatting with another person.
The young man's face darkened. He was not from the Mancini family, but a suitor of Evani. He knew that today was her birthday and came here to wish her birthday. Unexpectedly, he heard such desperate news.
However, he also knew that the Mancini family was not someone to be trifled with, so he did not dare to act up on the spot, so he could only stare at Zhou Tao hatefully and said in his heart: "Boy, if you dare to come and fight for love, I will not let you die easily!"
