Mario lay comfortably on the lounge chair, seemingly carefree as he enjoyed the warmth of the sun. With a casual flick, Toad crawled over to Mario with a fawning expression, carefully placing a cigarette in Mario's mouth and quickly producing a lighter to ignite it. As Mario took a deep drag, the smoke enveloped him, and he leisurely remarked, "Ah... Tom oh Tom, look at what a beautiful day it is. But with everything that just happened, these two corpses, and another poor innocent servant, all ruined by you!"
The sarcasm in his words was strong, as Mario spoke in a tone that was both relaxed and tinged with disdain, seemingly shifting all responsibility onto Tom and placing himself in the position of a bystander, enjoying it all while expressing a seemingly sympathetic attitude towards Tom's predicament. However, this so-called "sympathy" was actually a form of mockery and contempt towards Tom.
Tom's face was filled with resentment and despair, his voice trembling but with an unprecedented determination and courage, he looked straight at Mario and said without flinching, " Mario... one day you will face retaliation... How long do you think you can continue like this? Sooner or later, everything will be exposed!" In that moment, Tom erupted with the accumulated anger and injustice, no longer fearing Mario's overwhelming power, his eyes shimmering with a longing for justice and hope for the future.
However, in the face of Tom's anger and accusation, Mario only showed a faint smile, seemingly finding Tom's words both amusing and pitiful. His smile was filled with contempt and confidence, as if to say that the rules of the world are determined by strong individuals like him, and any resistance and accusation are futile.
Mario's reaction once again highlights the insurmountable gap between him and Tom, and also demonstrates how futile and powerless the struggle of the weak is in the face of absolute power. This scene is not only a blow to Tom personally, but also a satire and a wake-up call to all those at the bottom, longing for justice and change.
Mario reached under his seat from one side of the recliner and mysteriously pulled out a stylish pair of sunglasses, skillfully putting them on. He turned his head towards the sunlight streaming onto the balcony, as if engaging in a wordless conversation with the sun. Then, he comfortably adjusted the recliner's position and lay back even more leisurely, his gaze faintly casting onto Tom through the lenses of the sunglasses. Mario lazily said, "Alright! You've caused enough trouble! I don't want to play with you like this anymore, even though I really want to continue extracting more pain from your face, which would be a wonderful thing for me, you know?"
In these words, Mario's tone is both contemptuous and tinged with a hint of cruel enjoyment, as if Tom's pain and despair are just a form of entertainment for him. This attitude undoubtedly delivers another mental blow to Tom and exposes the ruthless nature behind Mario's power. In Mario's view, the resistance and dissatisfaction of the weak are just minor incidents in his life, ready to be ignored and erased at any time.
Tom's voice carries a hint of desperate relief as he contemptuously laughs and provocatively says to Mario, "Ha! Hurry up and kill me if you want! I don't care anymore!" Every word in this sentence seems to be the accumulation of all his dissatisfaction and protest, finally erupting at this moment.
Mario heard these words, and his heavy eyebrows lifted from beneath his sunglasses. His gaze pierced through the lenses and landed on Tom. He seemed somewhat surprised by the sudden display of courage and provocation from Tom, perhaps in his view, someone like Tom should only feel fear and submit, rather than openly challenge his authority.
Toad's face darkened with anger. He was quite displeased and furious that his subordinate dared to speak such provocative words to someone as high-ranking as Mario. In Toad's eyes, Tom's behavior was not only disrespectful to Mario, but also a challenge to his authority as a manager. He couldn't accept that his subordinate would dare to show such an attitude at such a critical moment, which filled him with anger and disgust towards Tom.
This scene not only shows Tom's spirit of resistance in despair, but also exposes Mario and Toad's attitude towards power and their desire to control their subordinates. In their world, any challenge to authority is unacceptable, even if it comes from someone who is about to lose everything.
Mario turned his head, his gaze falling on the distant rolling mountains, as if seeking a way to escape the current atmosphere. Then, he suddenly let out a deep and powerful laugh, turning to Tom with a hint of disdain and mockery in his tone: "Ha! Tom, oh Tom, I thought you had some brains, I thought you had figured out our rules of the game." Then, he burst into a maniacal laughter, the sound echoing on the quiet balcony, particularly jarring and eerie.
Tom looked at Mario with confusion, his smile and words leaving Tom feeling perplexed and at the same time, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He felt as if he was being drawn into a game he couldn't control, where the rules were entirely defined by Mario, and he was just a pawn, ready to be sacrificed at any moment.
Mario's laughter gradually subsided, but the dominance and confidence that he exuded still lingered. His words were not just mocking Tom, but also conveying to him that no matter how much he struggled and resisted, in this world dominated by Mario, he could never change his fate. This sense of powerlessness and despair filled Tom with fear and unease.
