The helicopters appeared, unleashing a barrage of missiles. Tony wasn't sure what they were targeting. All he could hear were the deafening blasts and see the plumes of smoke billowing high into the sky.

It was clear to him now that these helicopters were reinforcements sent by Mark. This meant the situation behind the second military blockade in front of him would soon be resolved.

Tony decided to brake. The two armored vehicles flanking him on either side also came to a halt.

"It wouldn't hurt to wait a bit," Tony said, glancing at his watch.

He turned to look back at his wife, still unconscious.

He estimated Jade would regain consciousness in a few hours. The physical injuries she sustained were quite severe for a woman like her.

"If only I had some water," Tony muttered.

He desperately needed a substantial amount of water to use in providing medical assistance to Jade. Unfortunately, he hadn't brought a single bottle of water. And since Kuroacan was a dead district, there wasn't a

    Jade's body's response just now was a little unexpected for Tony, making him worried for a moment. But now, after Tony channeled enough pure energy into Jade's body, everything was back under control.Tony sighed. He drank the rest of the mineral water in the bottle he had opened earlier. Channeling a lot of pure energy in a short period of time made him thirsty quickly.Boom! Boom! Boom!The explosions again. Tony turned to the front, seeing more plumes of black smoke. The helicopters were now scattered in several locations. Each one unleashed a merciless barrage of missiles."Emh..."Tony turned to look at his wife. Just now, Jade had murmured. But that was all. Her eyelids were still tightly closed, as was her mouth.Tony reached for the second water bottle and opened the cap. He poured some of the water onto both his hands, one by one. Now it was time for him to finish his effort to cleanse Jade's beautiful face of all those wounds.More or less, Tony did what he had done before,

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Tony's Promise

    At the military headquarters in Karnaan City, inside one of the treatment rooms in the medical facility...“Well? Have you found anything yet?” Tony asked.“We still need to verify the accuracy of the information we've gathered so far, General. My apologies,” Mark replied.Tony clicked his tongue, then said, “Do whatever it takes, and make it fast! I don’t care how—you give me the name of the mastermind behind this today.”“Copy that. I'll get my men to work faster,” Mark responded.Mark turned and left, pulling out his phone, seemingly issuing fresh orders to his team assigned to uncover who paid Jeffrey and his mafia to kidnap Jade.Tony sat in a chair facing the bed, gazing at Jade as she lay unconscious. She still hadn’t woken up, but he’d overseen every treatment necessary. The wounds on her hands and legs were now gone, her skin tone gradually improving as the IV fluids worked through her system.“I’m sorry, Jade. You shouldn’t have had to go through this. I failed to protect yo

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   The Informant

    At the military base in Karnaan City…“Are you sure you want to head home now, Jade? We can stay here for the night if you'd like.”“Let’s just go home. I’m sure Josephine and Mom are waiting for me at the hospital.”Jade had regained consciousness about half an hour ago. She’d just finished a dinner prepared by the military base’s canteen staff. Unbeknownst to anyone, Tony had slipped a small dose of his homemade remedy into her meal.The potion was designed to speed up the healing process of Jade’s cells. So far, the results were promising. Her face looked fresher and healthier. This was the same potion Tony used when he administered the second and third phases of treatment on her about two hours ago.“All right. I’ll get a vehicle ready,” Tony said, standing up from the edge of the bed and heading for the door.“Tony, wait,” Jade called.He paused and turned back to face her.“There’s a lot I want to discuss with you, but not tonight. I think it’s time we had a calm, one-on-one tal

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Tony vs. Bernard Valmont

    Tony placed the A3-sized photo on top of the pile of documents handed to him by the Commander. He looked at the Commander, saying while squinting, "I don't know the person in this photo. I've never seen him anywhere either." The Commander frowned in disappointment. He had hoped for a better answer from Tony. "But," Tony said then, "I did have dealings with someone from the Valmont Family recently." Enthusiasm was visible again in the Commander's eyes. "Oh, really? Who is it?" he asked. "Her name is Erina, if I'm not mistaken. One of her bodyguards said she was the only child of the Valmont Family. Maybe the person in this photo is her father," Tony explained. The Commander nodded. "I see," he said. "So, what was your business with the woman named Erina? If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is the business you're referring to?" "What business?" Tony asked back. "Well, I won't explain the details, but our interaction wasn't very good. In the end, I gave her a lesson so s

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   It's Going To Happen Soon

    Tony slammed the door shut. For a split second, Bernard caught a glimpse of a pair of legs sprawled across the doorway. Two of Bernard's personal bodyguards were stationed outside Erina's room. It seemed Tony had taken them both down, likely knocking one unconscious. Bernard wondered what was going through Tony's mind when he decided to take out his guards. After all, they were in a hospital. "Don't play coy, Mr. Valmont. You know why I'm here," Tony said, glancing briefly at Erina lying on the hospital bed before locking eyes with Bernard again. "Well, it seems you've figured it all out. Honestly, I'm surprised to see you show up at the hospital. I guess I underestimated you, Tony," Bernard admitted. Bernard stood up, facing Tony. His hands were clasped behind his back, his chest puffed out. One hand held a phone. "You're Erina's father? Am I right?" Tony asked. "You're correct. Erina is my only daughter, my only child. And now she's lying here unconscious, because someo

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   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

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   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

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   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

    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 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?

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.

    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

    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
