THE GREAT GENERAL No Mercy For Henry Truman
Henry Truman, his bodyguards, and the people he had summoned into the restaurant were all stunned at the appearance of the soldiers.If it were only one or two people, they might still think that these people were not real soldiers; say, Tony had paid them to pretend to be soldiers and intimidate them.But there were too many of them. And not only that, they were fully armed.The spacious and open restaurant suddenly felt cramped. The other restaurant staff this time really stepped aside, not wanting to be dragged into the potential chaos.Josh was just as stunned as Henry Truman and his people.Josh didn't know that these soldiers had come to save him. He didn't know anything about the relationship between these soldiers and his trashy son-in-law."Calm down, Dad. They're here to help us," said Tony as if he could hear what Josh was mumbling in his head.Interestingly, Tony said that while he himself was still being held at gunpoint by Henry Truman. The muzzle of the gun was still pr
THE GREAT GENERAL A Hard Choice
"Forgive me! Please forgive me!"Henry Truman pleaded as he felt a great pain in his back. Tony was indeed pressing the tip of his shoe hard against Henry Truman's back."What did you say?" Tony asked sarcastically."I beg for mercy. I admit I was wrong and I beg for mercy. Please forgive me. Don't torture me more than this," Henry Truman pleaded."Why should I forgive you? Do you think you're in a position to negotiate with me?""Please forgive me! Please! I will do anything to atone for my mistake. Please forgive me!""Anything? You will do anything for me?""Yes. I will do anything you ask, as long as you forgive me. Please stop stepping on my back so hard."Henry Truman's face, wet from his own vomit, was already red. The pain he felt was so unbearable.Tony still maintained the position of his right foot. A thin smile appeared on his face as Henry Truman groaned in pain.And when Tony finally lifted his foot, Henry Truman sighed."Okay. I'll give you one chance, just one chance,
THE GREAT GENERAL Toxic Old Friend
"Are you serious with your words?" Tony asked, smirking dismissively."Yes! I'm serious! If you can indeed buy the most expensive car in our showroom, I will call you Big Boss and I will serve you tonight. That's if you can!" the saleswoman replied, annoyed.Tony extended his right hand, inviting the saleswoman to shake hands."Then we have a deal?" Tony asked."Yeah!" The saleswoman shook Tony's hand firmly."Okay. Show me your most expensive cars," Tony said.The saleswoman put on an even grumpier face. This time, she completely disregarded Tony as a customer.And they arrived at the other side of the showroom where the most expensive cars were displayed.It was a special room with a luxurious and classy interior.The people there, being attended to by salesmen or saleswomen, were elegantly dressed and emitted a strong fragrance.The cars there, of course, looked much more enticing than the ones the saleswoman had shown Tony earlier."This is our most expensive car. Limited edition.
THE GREAT GENERAL That Black Card Is Real?
Tony took his black card back and handed it to the saleswoman."Use this card. Process the payment right now," he requested.The saleswoman took the card. She realized that her hand was slightly trembling.She examined the card carefully. As one of the experienced saleswomen in the showroom, she had served so many wealthy people. Many of them paid with credit cards; one of them paid with a black card.However, what she held in her hand now was not the same as the black card she had held before.The black card that Tony handed her looked special. There were small gold particles at its edges.The woman wondered if this indicated that this black card was a level above the black card used by one of her clients."What are you waiting for? Process it quickly!" Tony said, annoyed."Ah, okay," the saleswoman replied, snapping out of her thoughts.She then left. Her steps were slightly faster than before. As she walked, her eyes kept glancing at the black card she was holding."I'm amazed at y
THE GREAT GENERAL Resigned To Accepting Punishment
Amanda, the saleswoman who assisted Tony in buying his car, now stood in front of the door of a hotel room.She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. As she pressed her hand to her chest, she could feel her heart beating faster than usual.'You stupid, Amanda. This is all your fault. You picked a fight with someone so wealthy,' she scolded herself inwardly.Amanda straightened her back, slowly raising her right hand.She hesitated before knocking on the door, contemplating whether to leave and cancel whatever she was about to do with Tony who was waiting inside the room.But fear held her back. If she did that, Tony might hunt her down, terrify her, and force her to leave the town.That's Amanda's perception of Tony. In their last conversation at the showroom, Tony reminded her of her promise to be of service if her suspicion about Tony's ability to purchase an expensive car at the showroom where she worked turned out to be wrong.A mocking smile from Tony lingered in Amanda's mind.
THE GREAT GENERAL You're Not Asking Me To Have Sex With You?
Amanda furrowed her brows, momentarily frozen. Instead of pouncing on her right away, Tony asked her to clean up his spilled drink on the floor?But then she thought, 'Maybe this is some sort of game for him. A warm-up before engaging in sex with him, so to speak.'Amanda squatted down and turned her body to the left, intending to wipe the dark red puddle on the floor.But she looked puzzled."There's no mop here. And don't even think about using the towel in the bathroom. Just use whatever you just took off. Whether it's the cardigan, or the shirt, or the underwear, it's up to you. Just don't use anything else," Tony said.Amanda glared at Tony in irritation. Was this guy serious? Did he really expect her to use her expensive underwear to mop the floor? Ridiculous!"Hurry up! Don't make me repeat my words!" Tony snapped.Tony's bossy behavior irritated Amanda. As she wiped the dark red puddle with her cardigan, she cursed inwardly, continuously.Tony was truly trying to humiliate her
THE GREAT GENERAL Hammond To Take Revenge
The taxi carrying Tony arrived in front of Josh's house. It was almost nine in the evening. Tony glanced at the porch, ensuring there were signs that the house wasn't empty.Earlier, Jade had indeed asked him to come here, not to the hospital. Sasha's condition had improved; she was supposed to go home tomorrow. Tonight, only Josephine was taking care of her.As usual, Tony unlocked the gate with his spare key. After entering, he closed and locked the gate again, walking towards the porch with growing curiosity.He wondered what his father-in-law wanted to discuss with him. Knock! Knock! "Jade, it's me," Tony said after knocking on the door.Soon, footsteps approached. The door opened, pulled inward, revealing Jade. "Come in. Dad is waiting for you at the dining table," Jade said.His wife left, perhaps heading to the dining table. Tony closed and locked the door before following her.The house felt empty, reminding Tony of the moment when only he and Josephine were there. Strong g
THE GREAT GENERAL What An Amazing Gift!
At the headquarters of Robertson Group...Esther, the CEO of Robertson Group, was in her office, working on something very seriously on her laptop.Knock! Knock!Someone knocked on the door."Come in," said Esther.The door opened. Vionna, Esther's secretary, entered the room and walked straight to Esther's desk."What's wrong, Vionna? Why the long face?" Esther teased, furrowing her brows."Ms. Esther, Mr. Hammond Sturkluson wants to meet with you. He and his assistant are downstairs. In the lobby," said Vionna with a serious expression."What did you say?!" Esther exclaimed.Esther immediately stood up and placed both of her hands on the desk. Her eyes widened."Hammond Sturkluson, the owner of the renowned Sturkluson Group business empire?" Esther confirmed."Yes, Ms. Esther," replied Vionna."But why? Why would someone as important as him come here? Does he really want to meet with me?" Esther asked."Yes, Ms. Esther.""Does he have something to discuss with me? Business matters?"

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
