Mario seemed to suddenly remember something and instead asked Toad a question with a somewhat ambiguous tone: "Will our Tom family's Pu Pu Tower be on duty in the palace tomorrow?" This seemingly insignificant question implied a sinister omen.
Toad immediately responded respectfully, his voice filled with loyalty and obedience: "Yes... this teenager will be assigned to... Lord Luigi, to fill the vacancies... left by the servants who have been absent from their duties these past few days." When mentioning the phrase "absent from their duties," a strange smile appeared on Toad's face, as if hinting at some unspeakable secret.
This conversation reveals a kind of eerie atmosphere, and the dialogue between Mario and Toad is full of implications and metaphors, as if they have some kind of unknown conspiracy between them. For Tom, all of this is so sudden and unbelievable, he finds it hard to understand why his family would be involved in this power game, and even harder to understand what Mario and Toad are planning.
When Tom hears the name of Pupta, his surprise turns instantly into panic. He never imagined that his nephew would suddenly be involved in the depths of the court, let alone be handed directly to Luigi. For him, this is undoubtedly the beginning of a disaster. Shaking all over, he barely manages to stand up, his body seeming like it could collapse at any moment, but there is a determined flame burning in his eyes.
"Absolutely not! I will not hand over my nephew to Luigi!" Tom roared angrily, his voice echoing in the quiet courtyard, as if to express all his dissatisfaction and resistance. He could not accept his loved one being involved in this unjust game, nor could he tolerate this manipulated fate.
In the face of Tom's anger, Mario's face showed a big smile, filled with contempt and mockery, as if Tom's resistance was nothing more than a ridiculous farce in his eyes. Mario's laughter carried a clear sense of provocation, as if he were enjoying Tom's helplessness and despair, further exposing his coldness and cruelty towards those struggling from a position of power.
Tom's resistance did not evoke sympathy or concessions from Mario, but instead made Mario more convinced that his decision was correct. In Mario's world, power and control are the supreme rules, and any attempt to challenge this rule will be ruthlessly suppressed and ridiculed. Tom's anger and unwillingness, in Mario's view, are just another seasoning in his power game.
As Mario's words continued to echo in Tom's ears, each one felt like a heavy blow to Tom's heart. Mario leisurely continued, "Oh Tom... this is the best for your family, I think... I remember your family's only adult male is you now, your older brother, father have passed away before, there's your sister-in-law, your pregnant wife, and your elderly mother at home, am I right?" These words not only revealed an understanding of Tom's family situation, but also carried an undeniable sense of control and threat.
Tom was extremely shocked by this sudden news. Mario actually knew everything about his family's situation, and this ability to know everything made him feel a fear and helplessness like never before. He suddenly realized that Mario's influence extended so far that even the most private matters in his home couldn't escape the other's eyes.
At this moment, Tom was filled with despair. Mario's words were not only a threat to him, but also a hidden threat to the safety of his family. This made Tom feel an unprecedented pressure. He knew deep down that he had no chance of winning in this power struggle, and it seemed that Mario had a firm grip on the safety and future of his family.
Mario's words are like a warning, and also a means of displaying power, making Tom understand that no matter how he resists, the other party has the ability to make him and his family pay a painful price. Tom's shock and helplessness reach their peak at this moment, and he realizes that besides surrender, he has no other choice.
Faced with Mario's ruthless threats and secret control over his family, Tom feels an unprecedented despair and powerlessness. His knees buckle, and he eventually falls to the ground, consumed by immense fear and helplessness. In his heart, his family's safety is above all else, their smiles and laughter are the most precious treasures in his life. But now, all of this is in jeopardy because of Mario's greed and desire for control.
Tom's heart is filled with anger and self-blame, but he has nowhere to vent, so he can only forcefully hammer his head against the cold ground, time and time again, as if this could resist the suffocating sense of powerlessness. Each impact is accompanied by a thumping sound, perhaps in his view, this is a punishment for his inability to protect his family. Fresh blood slowly seeps from his forehead, dripping down his cheeks, reflecting his inner pain and struggle.
This scene not only demonstrates Tom's deep love and sense of responsibility for his family, but also shows Mario's absolute suppression and reign of terror over him. Under Mario's power, Tom and his family are like insects trapped in a spider's web, unable to escape and at the mercy of the other. Tom's desperate behavior is a direct reflection of his current predicament and a silent accusation of Mario's cruel actions.
