Therefore, in Goode's opinion, as long as he was given enough time, he would definitely conquer Butterfly Wang's heart. After all, it was very important for them, who lived in big families, to be well-matched in terms of social status.
The Butterfly Family valued Butterfly Wang's marriage so much because of their consideration for the future of the family! If he could stop this marriage, then in the entire Ello Town, there would be no one who could match Goode!
Ello Town was just a town, but it was not a small town. It was bigger than some first-class cities and even some counties! Therefore, the strength of the Douglas Family was quite terrifying!
Not only in Ello Town, but even in the whole of Europe, the Douglas family was one of the best. This was not only because the Douglas family was a mafia family in Ello Town, but also because their father, Albert Douglas, was the godfather of this town!
The more important reason was that Goode's grandfather, Thomas Lancer, the current family master of the Lancer Family, was one of the largest arms suppliers in Europe. He could be ranked in the top five among the big families in Europe!
With such a strong background, Goode believed that as long as the Butterfly Family broke off the engagement with the mysterious fiancé, then he would have a great chance!
Of course, Goode did not know how terrifying Butterfly Wang's fiancé was. He also did not know that he was the direct disciple of the King of Assassins. These were the secrets of the assassin world. These were not things that these non-assassin families could understand.
Based on their information, they only knew that this marriage contract was set in the generation of Wang Songshan's father. Butterfly Wang's fiancé was also from the same clan as Wang Ruoshui's fiancé.
The reason why Goode was so bold to break into the Butterfly Family and speak his mind at the expense of offending Wang Songshan was also because of Wang Ruoshui! Since Wang Ruoshui could break off the engagement, why couldn't Butterfly Wang?
Moreover, the person who made this marriage contract was Wang Songshan's father. Now that he was dead, what effect did this marriage contract still have? Therefore, Goode was willing to give it a try. In his opinion, the reason why Wang Songshan insisted on this marriage was nothing more than to respect the older generation. However, if he insisted, then Wang Songshan would definitely side with him!
After all, a marriage alliance had to consider the overall interests of the family! Perhaps the family that was allied with the Wang Family by marriage was once glorious, but Goode didn't think that this family was still glorious! This was because Goode had asked his grandfather, Thomas, to help him find out beforehand. Although most of the outstanding children of the right age from the top families in Europe were engaged, none of them were engaged to the Butterfly Family!
In other words, the marriage alliance with the Butterfly Family did not belong to the top families! This way, Goode's confidence was even stronger. After all, among the families that the Butterfly Family could choose to form a marriage alliance with, the Douglas Family was considered very powerful!
The most crucial point was that as an assassin family, they needed a lot of top-notch firearms every year. Many of them were banned goods that were difficult to buy on the market and were specially for the army! Assassins were a profession that walked on the edge of the law. It was impossible for the Butterfly Family to purchase top-notch firearms through official channels!
Of course, the Butterfly Family also had its own channels. This channel was the Lancer Family helmed by Goode's grandfather. The Butterfly Family and the Lancer Family had been working together for a long time. Every year, the Butterfly Family bought a large number of special firearms from the Lancer Family.
Although this was a win-win deal, to put it bluntly, the firearms that the Butterfly Family needed were all popular goods. Even if they were not sold to the Butterfly Family, they could still be sold very well. Therefore, the Butterfly Family was still in a weak position in this business. Although the status of an assassin family was relatively superior, the Lancer Family was not to be trifled with. To be able to reach this point and operate firearms, they were definitely a family that could be on equal footing with the Butterfly Family.
It was also because of this reason that Wang Songshan looked at the Douglas Family of Ello Town differently and looked up to them in everything. Otherwise, with the Butterfly Family's aloof status, they would not care about the other families in Ello Town.
This was Goode's trump card. He believed that with the existence of this trump card, Wang Songshan had to consider the interests involved. Thinking of this, the originally pale Goode was full of confidence again, "Uncle Wang, although Little Butterfly may not have a good impression of me, it is undeniable that I am the most familiar with her among the other family members. Even if it is a marriage alliance, it is also an ideal thing to have a marriage alliance with our Douglas Family, right? I think the probability of Little Butterfly choosing me between me and the fiancé that she has never met is higher, right? "
"I will respect Little Butterfly's choice. So, Goode, please go back first." Wang Songshan glanced at the chattering Goode and said, "No matter who Little Butterfly chooses in the end, I will respect her choice."
"You respect her choice? Then why did she run away from home? " Goode obviously didn't believe Wang Songshan's words. He didn't know that Wang Songshan had reached an agreement with Wang Xiaoyan.
Wang Songshan frowned. He didn't expect this Goode to be so presumptuous. Although he was a little reckless at first, he still followed etiquette. Now, this guy was obviously a little arrogant and even dared to criticize him!
"Are you done yet? I told you to go back first. Didn't you hear me? " Before Wang Songshan spoke, Wang Ruoshui couldn't bear it anymore. This little brat actually dared to come to the Butterfly Family and make a fuss. Wang Songshan actually tolerated him for so long. This was somewhat unbelievable in Wang Ruoshui's opinion! Could it be that the Butterfly Family had declined over the years? Even the children of these small families dared to come and order them around?
When the Butterfly Family was at its peak, even the masters of these families didn't dare to be presumptuous! But this isn't right? Wang Ruoshui didn't hear of any changes in the Butterfly Family's assassin ranking. Over the years, they had always been in second place and hadn't changed.
"How can a woman interrupt when a man is talking?" Goode hadn't seen Wang Ruoshui before. He didn't know that Wang Songshan's sister had returned, so he instinctively regarded Wang Ruoshui as a member of Yang Ming's group. In other words, Butterfly Wang's fiancé was the so-called VIP that Wang Songshan had mentioned!
The reason why Goode spoke so rudely was also because he had inquired in advance that none of the top families could form a marriage alliance with the Butterfly Family. Butterfly Wang's fiancé was most likely from a declining family. At this dinner table, in addition to Wang Songshan, Fang Tian and Wang Songshan, a middle-aged man and woman, were naturally regarded as a couple by Goode, and Yang Ming, the young man, was their son!
This family of three must be from the family that had a marriage alliance with Butterfly Wang. The middle-aged man and the young man didn't speak, but the middle-aged woman spoke first, so Goode was naturally a little annoyed.
They actually let a woman speak on such a big matter. Goode despised it in his heart, and he increasingly despised the fallen family of the legendary fiancé. He didn't put them in his eyes at all, so he wasn't afraid of offending them.
Therefore, Goode spoke without mercy and didn't consider the consequences of offending them. In his opinion, it was insignificant to offend such a small family, and they wouldn't dare to say anything.
The more upper-class society was, the more they believed in strength. The stronger the family, the more unscrupulous they were. They weren't afraid of those small families at all.
"Pa", a crisp sound was heard. Goode covered half of his face that was already red and swollen. He looked at Wang Ruoshui, who moved like a ghost, in shock and anger! After this woman slapped him loudly in an instant, she quickly returned to her previous seat!
This series of actions were completed in the blink of an eye, without the slightest hesitation. Goode did not even realize it, but his face was already burning with pain!
