THE GREAT GENERAL I'll Do Anything You Ask
After nearly half an hour, Tony's car entered the center of Karnaan City.However, at an intersection, Tony turned the car left, even though they should have gone straight if they were heading to the Robertson Family residence."Where are we going?" Esther asked, eyeing Tony suspiciously.Tony didn't reply. He just smirked. A thin smile.Esther grunted in annoyance. That was just another time Tony ignored her since their conversation ended half an hour ago.Esther had no choice but to stay silent and wait.She leaned her head back against the seat, closing her eyes, trying to calm herself.In her mind, curses that she aimed at Tony swirled.After a few dozen seconds, Tony pulled out his phone and made a call."I'll be there shortly. Make sure everything is ready," he said.Suddenly, Esther opened her eyes and glanced at him. Someone that Tony called said something, but it wasn't audible enough for her to hear what he/she said.Tony placed his phone on the dashboard. His gaze remained
THE GREAT GENERAL Surprising Apology
Tony's car came to a stop in front of the Robertson family residence.Tony pressed a button on the dashboard, and then Esther's left-side door opened."You just need to do what I explained earlier. But remember, if you mess up with me, our deal is off," Tony said.Esther grunted in annoyance. She unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car."As for your car, someone will bring it here tomorrow morning," Tony said after Esther slammed the door shut."Who the hell are you, Tony? What have you been hiding from us?" Esther asked curtly.Tony smirked mockingly, saying, "I have no obligation to answer that, and I won't. You can figure it out yourself."Tony closed the car window until Esther couldn't see him anymore. Shortly afterward, the car drove off, leaving Esther alone near the tall gate of the Robertson family residence.Esther sighed wearily. She shook her head while rubbing her temples. That night was truly a terrible night for her. She couldn't possibly forget it.Earlier at the
THE GREAT GENERAL The Compensation Money
Josh and his family were still too stunned to say anything.Only Tony appeared unfazed, but he remained silent too. He tucked his hands into his shorts pockets."I'll keep kneeling like this until you forgive me," Esther said again.Among the strange things happening in Josh's family home, this was perhaps the strangest one.Josh couldn't understand what made his usually arrogant elder sister position herself so lowly before him."Esther, are you serious about everything you're saying? Earlier, you said those people who attacked us at the restaurant were sent by you? Did I hear that right?" Josh finally spoke up."Yes, Josh. I did send them. And again, I apologize to you and your family. Fortunately, you guys weren't harmed. I heard... Tony beat them all up," Esther said.Josh glanced at Tony momentarily. Indeed, that night, Tony saved them from Keanu and his henchmen. But how did Esther know that? Wasn't Esther not at the scene when it happened?That just indicated that Esther did ha
THE GREAT GENERAL Completely Humiliated
Esther's eyes sparkled. Did Tony really fulfill his promise?"What's this all about? Why are these people suddenly coming in when our business isn't finished yet?" Hammond Sturkluson complained, irritated.At that moment, he was still clutching Esther's blazer collar. The men in black attire looked at Hammond cynically."Mr. Hammond, these people came to bring the compensation money you asked for," Esther interjected, causing Hammond to turn and look at her."What did you say?""Those black cases contain the compensation money you requested, Mr. Hammond. Please release me so I can check it first."Hammond furrowed his brow, considering Esther's words to be mere bluffs. But he released Esther's blazer collar.As Hammond returned to his seat on the sofa, Esther straightened her back and tidied her rumpled clothes. She then walked towards the men."Place them one by one on the table. Let me check the contents," Esther instructed."Alright, Ma'am."The man closest to Esther's desk placed
THE GREAT GENERAL Shocking News
Nightfall at the Robertson family residence.All family members were summoned by Grandma Tiffany. Even cousins and relatives from out of town were there.No one knew why Grandma Tiffany suddenly called for this gathering.Even Esther, who usually was the first to know everything about such family meetings, had no clue this time.Josh and Sasha exchanged puzzled glances for the umpteenth time.People murmured, guessing what might be discussed in this impromptu meeting."Is everyone here?"Grandma Tiffany's voice instantly silenced the murmurs. All eyes turned to the matriarch of the Robertson family.Grandma Tiffany sat in her wheelchair. Christine, her faithful servant, carefully pushed her wheelchair, bringing Grandma Tiffany in front of her entire family."Mom, why did you suddenly call everyone to gather? Is there a serious problem affecting our family?" Esther asked. Besides emanating strong curiosity, her eyes also radiated concern.Grandma Tiffany glanced briefly at Esther, then
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony Challenged Grandma Tiffany
"Tony, what's gotten into you? Do you realize what the situation is like right now?" Jade whispered, pulling Tony's hand.The people in the room looked at Tony disdainfully. Grandma Tiffany narrowed her eyes. She currently looked like a villain."What's wrong with what I just said, Jade? I simply informed Grandma that your father deserves to hold that prestigious position," Tony defended himself."Read the room before you say something!" Jade snapped back in a whisper. "If you say it at a time like this, you'll only put our family in trouble."Tony looked at Jade, furrowing his brow. He was confused. His wife should be happy because he was trying to boost Josh's position in front of the large family.Meanwhile, the people started to murmur. They didn't know anything about Tony's recent developments, so in their eyes, Tony was still the useless trash that needed to be kicked out of the Robertson family."I wonder why Josh hasn't kicked this trash out of his house yet.""What surprises
THE GREAT GENERAL Annoying Conversation At The Airport
What Grandma Tiffany said instantly tensed Jade's expression. She looked at Tony, hoping her husband wouldn't escalate the situation further.However, Tony's words only made the tension on her face even more apparent."Alright, Grandma. But if I win the bet, you have to appoint my father-in-law as the CEO of Robertson Group. And you also have to apologize to him for underestimating his abilities and capacities. No excuse. Do we have a deal?"In the eyes of the people in the room, Tony seemed completely insane. He had already acted improperly by openly opposing Grandma Tiffany, and now he was willing to challenge her even further?Even Josh, who had been trying to stay quiet and trust Tony, began to feel restless. How could Tony risk his fate without any agreement from him?"Tony, you're going too far! Do you realize what you just said?" Josh finally exclaimed, reprimanding Tony with a serious expression.Tony turned to his father-in-law, nodded once, and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony's Provocation
"Sorry I'm late," Tony said as he approached.His voice remained the same, and in Sasha's and the other's eyes, it contrasted sharply with Tony's different appearance.This time, Tony looked stunning in his sleek and expensive suit, making him appear handsome and classy.If only Tony wore a mask or covered his face, they would never believe that the person they were seeing now was Tony."Tony, what's with this appearance? Did you deliberately buy a special suit for today?" Jade asked, approaching her husband."How do I look, Jade? Do you like it?" instead of answering, Tony threw the question back at Jade, smiling thinly and raising an eyebrow.Jade was too amazed to answer the question. But without her needing to say anything, Tony could already tell that his wife was captivated by his new look.In addition to the luxurious and classy suit, he had also changed his hairstyle. Earlier, he had stopped by the salon recommended by Hayley. There, he asked the hairstylist to make his hair l

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
