THE GREAT GENERAL Have A Safe Drive, Sir!
About half an hour later, in the showroom lobby...Long walked with purpose beside Tony. They had just completed all the paperwork for the showroom purchase.Long occasionally glanced at Tony, his amazement evident. He hadn’t expected someone as young as Tony to possess such incredible wealth and influence.“Is the car I’m going to use ready?” Tony asked.“Yes, sir. It’s out front,” Long replied.As the new owner of the showroom, Tony had the right to choose any car as his personal vehicle, and he had selected an elegant blue Lotus Emira, which was now parked outside the lobby.Seeing Long accompany and treat Tony with such respect, the showroom employees watched Tony with curiosity.Their appearances were indeed a stark contrast—one was very fancy and classy, the other was quite ordinary, even overly so.But no one dared look down on Tony now. If Tony happened to glance their way, they reflexively nodded in respect.Tony himself was indifferent to the formalities. He wasn’t intereste
THE GREAT GENERAL Chase and Blockade
Tony furrowed his brow. Gary? It took him a few seconds to realize that Hubbert Long was referring to the former director of the GAA showroom—the same guy who had just sent thugs into the waiting room to rough him up.Tony’s eyes focused forward again. So, these men were sent by Gary to mess with him once more? Some kind of revenge? Was Gary still not satisfied even after getting fired by Hubbert Long earlier?As Tony contemplated this, the men dressed in all black continued closing in. Their faces were fierce.Tony glanced behind him, checking if there was a chance to turn around or back out. Not that he was scared or anything; he just wanted to get to Vermaen Hospital as quickly as his wife had asked.Honestly, taking down these goons would be easy for Tony, but he didn’t know what might be waiting for him after. He suspected Gary had more of his people stationed at other points around this intersection.Then, spotting a gap wide enough for his nimble new car, Tony released the hand
THE GREAT GENERAL New Enemies?
Tony strode straight through the blockade of armored cars.He saw a group of soldiers had already dismounted and were now securing the dirt bike riders who had been chasing him earlier.Tony casually approached one of his pursuers. The two soldiers dragging the man looked momentarily startled when they realized who was walking toward them—Tony, the god of war himself.Wham!“Ugh!”Tony punched the guy square in the face, blood streaming from his nose.“Tell me who you are and why you were after me,” Tony growled.“O-our boss... o-our boss ordered us to chase you,” the man stammered.Smack!Tony slapped him hard, knocking out a front tooth that clattered onto the asphalt.“Don’t give me half-answers. Now tell me who your boss is and what grudge he’s got against me!” Tony demanded.“F-f-fine… I’ll explain,” the man sputtered.And with that, he revealed that he and his crew were part of a newly formed underground organization called the Silver Fang Brotherhood (SFB).Their boss, the lead
THE GREAT GENERAL Good News
“Mom, what are you saying? Why would you say something like that?” Jade snapped at Sasha, annoyed.“Why? Does the thought of me licking my own feet make you sick? Well, that’s never going to happen, Julia. This loser here is just bragging about buying you a car. He doesn’t even have savings. Acting all high and mighty as if he’s going to replace your damaged car!” Sasha spat bitterly.She then turned to Tony again, pointing toward the door.“Get out right now! I’m sick of seeing you in here!” she demanded.Jade sighed, but unlike before, she didn’t defend Tony as she usually did.Meanwhile, Josephine eyed Tony with a look that was difficult to read.Unlike the others, Josephine suspected that Tony wasn’t as pathetic as he seemed.If Tony could cover all the hospital expenses when Jade and Esther were hospitalized, it wasn’t impossible that he could afford to buy a car to replace Jade’s damaged one.But even if Tony did buy a car for Jade, Josephine was convinced it would be a cheap on
THE GREAT GENERAL Are You Happy?
Hubbert Long furrowed his brow, puzzled by the reactions of Jade, Josephine, and Sasha. He was sure he had given them the correct information.It only took him a split second to realize what had happened: Tony must not have explained everything about the car he brought to them.At that moment, Long’s phone buzzed with a text from Tony. He quickly opened it.After reading the message, everything became clear. Tony didn’t want Jade or her family to know that he was the new owner of the GAA showroom.“I’m sorry, Mr. Long, could you please repeat why you’re here? Did you say you’re here to deliver my car?” Jade asked.“Yes, Mrs. Robertson. The car for you is parked at the hospital lot. I’m here to hand you the keys,” Long replied.“This car is really for me?”“Yes, Mrs.”“But how is that possible? I don’t remember buying a car from your showroom.”“Well…”Long hesitated, choosing his words carefully to keep Tony’s secret.“This car is a gift to you because your husband, Tony, did somethin
THE GREAT GENERAL Thank You! I Owe You One!
“Mom, what are you doing? Why did you slap Tony?”“Be quiet, Jade! It’s about time I taught that insolent son-in-law of mine a lesson!”“But you didn’t have to slap him, Mom.”“He deserved it. He deserved to be slapped repeatedly. How dare he tell me to lick my own feet!”Tony clicked his tongue in frustration but managed a wry smile. His mother-in-law was indeed insane, and it seemed there was nothing he could do to change that.After all, the idea of licking her own feet had come from Sasha. Now she was acting as though the idea had come from Scott and Scott had rudely instructed him to do it.Ring! Ring!Jade’s phone rang.“Who’s calling?” Sasha asked.“Josephine,” Jade replied, then answered the call.[Where have you been? It’s been ages.]“We’re still in the hospital parking lot. What’s up?”[Come back quickly. Grandma is losing patience waiting for you.]“Ah, okay. We’re heading there now.”The call ended. Jade slipped her phone back into her pocket.“What’s going on?” Sasha ask
THE GREAT GENERAL Fulfill Your Words!
All eyes were now on Sasha. Reluctantly, Sasha finally looked at Tiffany."What do you mean, Mom?" she asked, her face full of questions."Oh, you don't understand what I mean?" Tiffany asked sarcastically."No, Mom. I really don't understand. Who are you talking about?" Sasha replied.Tiffany took a deep breath, her chest visibly expanding for a moment, then slowly exhaled while keeping her eyes locked on her daughter-in-law."The person I'm talking about is clearly you, Sasha. You said earlier that if Tony wasn't bluffing about that car, you'd lick your own feet and call Tony 'Sir.'"And just now your own daughter said that the car is indeed in the hospital parking lot. And we both know that the CEO of the showroom himself delivered the car here."Now it should be clear who has to do what. Remember, Sasha, you challenged Tony yourself. Don't dodge your responsibility."Tiffany said all this calmly and without raising her voice. Yet, Sasha felt an overwhelming pressure, making her ex
THE GREAT GENERAL Woman At The Hot Springs
At the Karnaan City International Airport...“Safe travels, Uncle David,” Tony said with a sarcastic smile, waving his hand.He stood outside the departure gate, watching as David and his family boarded their flight and disappeared into the terminal.Aldene, David’s wife, glanced back at Tony briefly, shooting him a look full of resentment. Tony responded with an even broader smile.David himself kept moving, guiding their child along. He seemed to have completely lost the courage to face Tony.Tony placed his hands on his hips and sighed. Finally, his troubles were over. Now, he could relax a bit; he thought about going to the hot springs and soaking there for a while. The hot springs were located in the eastern area, near the border with the neighboring town. The drive there would take about an hour and a half.But first, there was something he needed to check. Back in his car, he called Hayley.[Yes, Mr. Tony?]“Hayley, have you started working on my request?”[I have, sir. But est

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
Punishment and Decision
Bernard's face instantly turned pale. Tony intended to punish him? What kind of punishment did he mean?"You still remember everything you said in your daughter's hospital room, right, Mr. Valmont?" Tony asked, moving closer to Bernard.Bernard instinctively backed away. A heavy feeling of fear enveloped him.How could he not? Right now, in front of him, Tony's figure suddenly looked bigger, and it was because Tony was letting some of his war god aura out of his body, blazing like a black fire.And not only that, Tony's gaze was so cold. He looked like a cold-blooded killer ready to kill his target."W-w-which one? W-w-what did I say to you back then?"Suddenly, Bernard started to stammer. He was surprised himself when he heard his voice.Tony smiled, but his gaze remained cold. He said, "Well, whether you remember it or not, it doesn't matter. It won't change anything. Right now, here, I'm going to give you the punishment you deserve."Bernard's eyes widened. He saw the black flames
A Man With Integrity
Jessica parked her car outside the hospital. With a firm and forceful gesture, Jessica asked Tony to get into her car first. Tony did so with a bored face. Jessica got in through the right door and then closed the car door and locked it."Remember, like I said earlier, this will be our last conversation. So, whatever it is you want to talk to me about, I suggest you finish it right now," Tony said.Jessica turned to look at Tony, finding Tony staring straight ahead. He didn't seem interested in listening to anything she was going to say.But Jessica didn't care. She had wanted to discuss this for a long time. This was the best moment she had so far."As you might have guessed, this is about Michelle," Jessica began."The other day I told you that she tried to end her life by throwing herself into the sea, right? Well, she almost succeeded."I say 'almost' because her heart did stop beating for a few moments. Luckily, with my basic medical knowledge, I managed to give her artificial re
This Is Insane!
Bernard Valmont was truly shocked to hear what Tony said. He fell silent for a moment, stunned and looking stupid. But then, he thought that Tony was just bluffing him, because when he thought about it again, what Tony said didn't make sense. So he smirked and laughed. “You bastard! You're trying to play me, huh! How dare you! You think I believe your bullshit?” Bernard scoffed. Tony raised one eyebrow, looking at Bernard strangely. He released his grip on Bernard's left shoulder and pushed Bernard's back with his foot. Bernard fell and his forehead briefly touched the dry and slightly hot hospital floor. "Shit! You're a fucking bastard! You fucking crossed the line, you know that?!" Bernard cursed, glaring at Tony with a flushed face. Of course, Tony didn't care. He just smirked slightly at the corner of his lips. He rubbed the soles of his shoes as if he had just stepped on dog poop. Seeing what Tony was doing, Bernard was really furious. Holding his leg that Tony had broke
Arrghh! My Leg!
Even though Bernard had given his orders clearly, none of the police officers approached. They remained in their respective positions, as if they were waiting for the real order. Of course, this made Bernard unhappy. Would these cops only arrest Tony if the one giving them the order was their commander? It was ridiculous if that was the case! Sweep! Bernard pulled back his robe, taking out the pistol he had hidden under it. He cocked the pistol, then pointed it at Tony. "It's okay if you don't want to arrest him right away. I'll cripple him so he can't escape when your commander arrives," Bernard sneered. Jessica turned and looked at Bernard anxiously. She didn't know Bernard Valmont, but it seemed like he was crazy enough. He could actually shoot Tony in front of these cops. Sometimes people who are too rich can act irrationally and not think about the consequences of what they do. "Tony..." Before Jessica could finish her sentence, Tony suddenly stepped forward, acting
Shit! We're Too Late!
Tony couldn't believe his eyes. Jessica was standing there, and the way she’d walked straight up to him after stepping off the elevator told him she was here for him. “Tony, there’s something you need to know,” Jessica said, her voice serious. Tony stared at her, trying to process this sudden appearance. “Ma’am, please back away. We’re trying to secure this individual. He’s dangerous,” one of the security guards surrounding Tony said. Jessica glanced at the guard coldly, then ignored him. “Ma’am, please stop right there!” another guard warned. She ignored him again. One of the guards was reassigned from guarding Tony to blocking Jessica. This time, her progress stopped. “Ma’am, for your own safety, please stop approaching and let us—” Whack! Before the guard could finish his sentence, Jessica unleashed a lightning-fast kick, a move straight out of a taekwondo textbook, that landed squarely on his neck. The guard crumpled to the ground, unconscious. The other four
