THE GREAT GENERAL Car Accident
Nightfall, around seven o'clock.Tony had just left the PLS Group office. His luxury car cruised calmly on the congested highway.Several times he had the opportunity to overtake the cars in front of him, but he chose not to.So far, everything was going smoothly according to his plan.This morning, unbeknownst to Josh, he had monitored a crucial meeting between his father-in-law and Charlotte, ensuring the historic business collaboration between Redsphire Co. and Leidenn Group was agreed upon.No issues. Charlotte kept her promise to Tony.Afterward, he and Charlotte had a brief meeting on the office rooftop during lunch.There, Tony discussed what had happened to them in the apartment earlier.Without expressing his suspicions about the elevator incident, he urged Charlotte to be cautious.Charlotte glanced at Tony with concern, but she seemed relieved when Tony said she could contact him if anything else happened to her in the apartment later.Tony said it more to reassure Charlott
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony Didn't Die
A sleek black sedan pulled over near the overpass where the accident had just occurred.The front door of the car swung open, and a figure dressed in all black stepped out.None other than Jack, the hired assassin brought to this city by the Sturkluson family.While down below was noisy and chaotic, Jack casually walked to the roadside, standing near the sturdy guardrail in front of him.He took off his black sunglasses. He flicked a cigarette and tucked it between his lips.With a disappointed expression, he shook his head. Then he lit the cigarette and took a drag, exhaling smoke through his nostrils."I thought you were tougher than this, Tony. Honestly, this is truly disappointing," he said, taking another drag and exhaling smoke.His eyes narrowed. Below, Tony's car was ablaze at the back. There were no signs that the driver was still alive.Police sirens sounded. Police patrol cars emerged from the front.Jack observed the police patrol cars for a moment, smirked mockingly, then
THE GREAT GENERAL A Predatory Wolf
Two teenagers wielding baseball bats stepped forward, raising their hands high, ready to swing the bats at Tony.Tony prepared to block the two simultaneous attacks with his right hand and foot. At that moment, the door behind Tony opened.The movements of the two naughty teenagers instantly halted. Their gaze, as well as that of the other teenagers, fixed on the figure emerging from behind the door.A redhead girl. Her eyes were blue."Hey, what are you doing now? Haven't you learned your lesson after my uncle beat you up last week, huh?" the girl said.Boldly, she stepped forward. In both hands, she carried a black plastic bag filled with kitchen waste. She intended to throw it into the trash can next to Tony."Shut up, Pearl. I know Xavier isn't at the shop today. He's sick, right?" the blond teenager quipped, smirking arrogantly.Pearl's expression immediately changed. What the blond teenager said was true. Xavier, her large-bodied uncle, wasn't at the shop today because he was st
THE GREAT GENERAL Severe Punishment
"You and your friends are still young. You should have plenty of other useful things to do rather than causing trouble with the Grand General," said the soldier, walking with his gun in hand.Sand was taken aback. Grand General? The person they just ganged up on was the Grand General?Sand knew nothing about the military. He had no idea what that title meant. However, as the three soldiers approached, he could imagine that the Grand General was someone they greatly respected and feared in the military.His hair stood on end. His mouth opened, but no words came out."Step away from the Grand General before I shoot you again," the soldier said, giving Sand a scornful look.The two other soldiers behind him appeared alert, momentarily glancing around.Sand was too young to face a situation like this. Whatever exactly happened, the man they just assaulted was important. That was clear.So, instinctively, with one hand gripping his other wrist and blood dripping, Sand took a step back.Amo
THE GREAT GENERAL Booby Trap
The caller abruptly ended the call after saying that. However, Jack knew who it was.None other than Tony, his target in his current mission."Son-of-a-bitch! You're playing me!" he cursed, staring at the broken glass and spilled wine on the floor.Now it was clear to him. He found it strange that his hunting had ended so quickly and easily. Apparently, Tony had managed to escape from that deadly accident."Maybe he managed to get out and run before the car exploded," Jack muttered, this time staring at his palm.Blood dripped from it. What he did to the glass had left a quite deep and long wound."Alright. Now let's see who's tougher," he said, then grabbed his black coat and put it on.He stood in front of the large vanity mirror, straightening his coat."You said you are going to hunt me back, hah? You think can do that, huh?" he said again.A smug grin adorned his face. His eyes gleamed.Fifteen minutes later...Jack was driving his car on the deserted highway.While holding the s
THE GREAT GENERAL In A Brink of Death
Finding Tony smirking arrogantly and giving him a disdainful look, Jack's chest immediately surged.If there was a pot of soup inside him, the soup had boiled until it changed color and emitted a foul smell."So, you're the one who set up this booby trap, huh? Are those soldiers your men?" Jack asked."Yes. And you fell into my trap. I thought you were clever enough, though. Turns out, you're not," said Tony.Tony's contemptuous smile made Jack sick. He felt like throwing the pot at him, with the hot soup inside hitting Tony's face.Bang! Bang!Gunshots rang out.A moment later, the rooftop door slammed open and kicked forcefully from the inside.The soldiers emerged. Jack turned and glanced at them. Right now, he was in a tough spot."This morning, when I was trapped in the apartment elevator, it was you who called me and said tonight would be my last night, right? Can you explain what you meant by those words? Was that a threat?" Tony asked.Tony raised his chin slightly as he spoke
THE GREAT GENERAL Seeing A Ghost
In an exclusive nightclub for the crazy rich.The music thumped as people danced in various styles.The DJ, a ponytailed woman wearing only a bra and short skirt, entertained the club-goers by writhing like a snake on stage.Bobby Sturkluson was among those immersed in the commotion.He sat back on a round sofa, embracing two big-boobed women with deep cleavage.Bobby's lecherous eyes repeatedly wandered to their boobs. Occasionally, he swallowed his own saliva.Ring!His phone in his pants pocket rang. Bobby pulled his left hand and reached into his pants pocket, retrieving the phone."What's wrong, Dad?" Bobby asked after answering the call.His voice was quite loud considering the music was still pounding."Have you heard anything from that guy?" Hammond asked on the other end of the line."Yes, Dad. He said he had completed the mission. I asked him to meet me here. He should show up soon," Bobby replied.There was a brief pause before Hammond responded to Bobby's explanation.“You
THE GREAT GENERAL Hammond's Promise
Bobby's heart raced wildly. He knew something bad was about to happen to him."D-d-don't mess with me, Tony! If you do anything to me here... the people in this nightclub will gang up on you. They're my friends!" Bobby exclaimed.Tony smirked. Threats like that meant nothing to him."Well, let's see what your friends will do, you spoiled brat," Tony mocked.Bobby's legs trembled violently. He wanted to run, but he couldn't even move them.Bobby was paralyzed. He was out of ideas. It felt like he wanted to cry out loud.And moments later, Bobby surrendered. He fell to his knees. His eyes welled up with tears, his face contorted in misery."Forgive me... Forgive me..." he pleaded, resigned.He uttered the plea while bowing his head. His arms hung limp as if there were no bones inside."What did you say? You're asking me to forgive you?" Tony sneered, still standing tall.Weakly, Bobby lifted his head, gazing at Tony with pleading eyes.Tears streamed down his cheeks. He looked like a li

The Truth
Jade looked into Tony's eyes and smiled. Her chest felt warm. This warmth undoubtedly came from the united support of her husband and his family. She had never felt this happy before."Okay. We'll live here," she said, still smiling.Tony's eyes sparkled, and his smile widened. Jade felt her chest grow even warmer."In that case, let's move in tonight. We'll bring our clothes and belongings from the house. What do you think? Or are you too tired after a full day at work? I can handle it tomorrow. Just give me a list of what needs to be brought," Tony said.Jade shook her head. "Tonight is fine. I'm not too tired. Just a little hungry," she replied."Ah, then let's eat first. I'll cook something for you. Do you two want to join us for dinner, Dad, Josephine?" Tony glanced at his father-in-law and sister-in-law."What are you planning to cook, Tony?" Josephine asked. "I'm a bit hungry too."Tony opened the fridge and checked its contents. He nodded and told Josephine what he could whip
Just The Two of Us
Tony led Jade to his apartment. Jade was confused, but when they entered the apartment complex, she was floored, having never been to this notoriously luxurious and upscale apartment complex before. Tony, however, seemed perfectly at ease in the environment.They stopped in front of the entrance to one of the units. Tony took out his access card and opened the door, further bewildering Jade. In her mind, she tried to guess what he was trying to show her.“Come in, Jade,” Tony said.Jade stepped into the apartment, but questioned, “What’s this, Tony?”Tony didn’t rush his answer. He first closed the door and locked it. Then he stretched both of his arms wide and said, “Starting today, we’ll live here. I think it’s the perfect time for us to physically distance ourselves from your family. Besides, Grandma doesn’t consider you her granddaughter anymore, right?”He finished his words with a smile. Jade didn’t smile back. She was still confused, struggling to process her current situat
Thank You, Dad
At the PLS Group headquarters, just after lunch break...Jade had just returned to her office. Before she could even sit down, her phone rang. She frowned when she saw who was calling."Hello, Dad?"[Jade, why didn’t you tell me about something this important?]Jade froze for a moment, unsure what Josh was referring to."About what, Dad?"[About this insane bet between you and your mom.]Jade’s eyes widened slightly. Now she knew where this conversation was headed."Did Grandma call you, Dad?"[She came to the office to discuss it with me. You have no idea how shocked I was when I heard she’s planning to remove your name from the family registry.]Jade went silent again. She tried to imagine the conversation between her father and grandmother. A question popped into her mind: how had her father responded to Grandma’s complaint?[You’re crazy, Jade. You’re crazy for risking something this big. Do you no longer want to be part of the Robertson family, huh?]Jade sighed. Honestly, she wa
Tell Me The Truth, Tony
Two nurses assisted the doctor as he examined Michelle. His face was a mask of bewilderment. He had treated Michelle when she was rushed to the emergency room, and he was certain - based on his medical knowledge - that she should still be in a coma for months, even years. Now, she was awake and seemingly fine. Her heart rate and blood pressure were normal. The only thing amiss was the faint paleness of her complexion.To be sure of Michelle’s condition, he performed the examination three times. The two nurses who were assisting him exchanged glances, just as baffled as the doctor. In fact, everyone in the room was confused, except Tony.Tony stood with his back against the wall, to the right of the doorway. His arms were folded across his chest, and his head was slightly bowed, but his eyes were fixed on the patient's bed.“This is a miracle. The patient has truly overcome the critical phase. I’m not sure exactly what happened while she was in a coma, but she’s basically recovered.
You're Very Demanding, Aren't You?
The next morning, Tony secretly followed Jade to the PLS Group headquarters. Making sure his wife didn’t realize she was being tailed, he pulled into the parking lot reserved for the directors and executives. As soon as he parked, he called Hayley.[Good morning, Mr. Tony. Is there anything I can do for you?]"Hayley, can we talk for a bit? I’m on my way to your office now.”[Of course sir. Is there anything you want me to prepare?]“No, I just want to discuss a few things with you concerning my wife’s first few days at the company. I'll explain the details when I arrive in your office.”[Of course, sir. Understood.]Tony ended the call. He was now standing in front of the automatic doors of the lobby.When the doors opened, the receptionist realized the man about to enter was the company’s owner. She immediately stood up and bowed her head in deference.“I’m going to the CEO’s office. Don’t tell anyone, especially my wife, " Tony said.The receptionist nodded. Tony didn’t n
My Decision Won't Change
Tony and Jade, who were close to the bedroom door, stopped walking and turned their bodies 45 degrees, turning to look at Tiffany with confused faces."What do you mean, Grandma?" Tony asked, raising one eyebrow."I said you can't leave until I tell you my decision," Tiffany replied."What other decision is there? Isn't it clear?"Tony turned his body until he was fully facing Tiffany. Jade did the same as her husband."Starting tomorrow, Jade will be working at PLS Group and holding a strategic position. She proved to you that she can handle your challenge. And she has told you that she rejects your offer and request to help manage your family business. Up to this point, everything should be clear, right?"Tony said it in a slightly raised and arrogant tone. His facial expression and gaze showed that he was quite annoyed.Tiffany glanced at Tony for a moment, then turned her eyes back to Jade and asked, "Are you sure about this decision, Jade? Are you sure you want to rebel like this
I Win The Bet
Tiffany was in her room, sitting in her wheelchair facing the window.The window curtains were pulled back halfway, making sunlight from outside enter her room, some of it hitting her face.It was clear that Tiffany was seriously thinking about something.Knock! Knock!"They are here, Madam," said Catherine, her loyal maid, from outside the room."Bring them in," said Tiffany.The bedroom door was opened and pushed inward, and Catherine entered followed by Jade and then Tony. Slowly, Tiffany turned her head and turned her wheelchair. Catherine quickly approached Tiffany and helped her so that she and her wheelchair were now fully facing Jade.Jade was currently wearing an office suit that made her look stunning in Tiffany's eyes. A knee-length cream-colored skirt, a tight white inner combined with a blazer that was also cream-colored. Jade's glasses, as well as her hair, which was mostly tied in a ponytail at the back, made her look intelligent."Grandma," Jade greeted, nodding.Tiffa
Jade's Mixed Feeling
Jade stepped out of Hayley's office with mixed feelings. On the one hand, she felt a satisfying joy at finding herself now working at a giant company like PLS Group, holding a strategic position. On the other hand, she was worried, this sudden good thing felt like the beginning of bad things that would come to her later.After all, wasn't this illogical? Was she really recruited by Hayley to be the head of a new division at PLS Group that handles web novels? Wasn't she just having a beautiful dream right now?Those feelings and thoughts were still circling her as she descended in the elevator. After the elevator arrived on the ground floor and the door opened, she paused for two seconds before finally stepping out. It felt like part of her consciousness was wandering off somewhere.In the lobby, near the reception desk, Jade saw Tony. Her husband seemed to be waiting for her. Immediately, she quickened her pace, approaching Tony."How was it? Everything good?" Tony asked casually, rai
Something Good
The next day, at Vermaen Hospital..."Are you ready?" Tony asked, having just entered Josephine's hospital room."Just a minute. I'll have a drink first," Jade replied, taking her tumbler from the bedside table and gulping it down."Where are you two going anyway?" Josephine asked; in the patient's bed, she was sitting with her back leaning against the headboard, playing a game on her phone."Watch out, don't drag my daughter into trouble again!" Sasha said sharply.Tony smirked slightly, saying, "You guys can relax. Today, I'm going to take Jade to a good place. Later this afternoon when she sees you again here, you'll hear good news from her directly."Jade had finished drinking and was now closing her tumbler. She glanced at Tony with the corner of her eye. Her face was full of questions."Well, whatever it is, be careful. You know what I mean, Tony?" Josephine said.Tony didn't answer, just raised one eyebrow."Alright, let's go. It's getting late. Don't let us be late," Jade said
