At Karnaan General Hospital, the second largest hospital in the city of Karnaan, situated in the northern district...

In one of the patient rooms on the third floor, Jessica sat watching the screen of her laptop, observing the images being transmitted by her drone.

In the only bed in the VIP ward, Michelle lay unconscious, a respirator attached to her nose. Her condition was no longer critical, but she was expected to remain comatose for several more weeks.

As she monitored the current situation of Tony and the soldiers sent by Mark to rescue him, Jessica bit into a red apple, chewing thoughtfully.

Since Michelle had been rushed to the hospital after her suicide attempt by driving her car into the harbor, Jessica had stayed by her friend’s side, occasionally talking to her even though their conversations were one-sided.

Jessica often spoke about Tony and the efforts she was making to hold him accountable for Michelle’s current state. Despite Tony revealing Michelle’s dark secret, whic

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Farewell Gift

    Tony arrived at *The Wild Deer*’s main bar after a fifteen-minute drive. He headed straight for Patrick’s office, ignoring the few startled security guards who greeted him along the way. Knock, knock. Tony rapped on the door. "Mr. Patrick, it’s me," Tony said. "Come in, Tony," came Patrick’s voice from inside. Tony pushed the door open and stepped forward. Patrick sat at his desk, a laptop open in front of him. "I’ve been waiting for you, Tony. Have a seat," Patrick said. Tony nodded and took the empty chair across from him. Their eyes met, and the chill in Tony’s gaze was no different from the last time they had spoken at Patrick’s estate. "Let’s get straight to the point," Tony said, cutting Patrick off just before he could speak. Patrick paused for a moment. It seemed he had an agenda, but Tony was throwing it off track. He nodded, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. "So, about the shares you hold in *The Wild Deer*, you really want to withdraw them all?" Patrick asked

    By eight in the evening, Tony entered Bavarian Bliss, a five-star restaurant in Karnaan City known for its classic Bavarian dishes made with premium ingredients.After giving his name and explaining the reason for his visit to a waiter, Tony was led straight to one of the VIP rooms. Inside, Patrick was already seated at a large round table, waiting.Patrick appeared to be alone at the table. Tony quickly scanned the room, confirming no one else was present. He then walked over to the table.“Take a seat, Tony. You arrived just before the food is served. Tonight, we’re going to eat well…”Tony raised his right hand, cutting Patrick off.“Mr. Patrick, I came here to sign the documents we discussed in your office a few hours ago, not for a dinner like this,” Tony said.Patrick smirked, leaning back in his chair. “Tony, this is going to be our last meeting. At least join me for dinner. The first and the last. Okay?”Tony gave Patrick a scrutinizing look. Patrick’s expression didn’t change

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Mysterious Phone Call

    The next day at Vermaen Hospital...“Are you leaving now?” Tony asked Jade, who was checking her appearance in a small mirror on the nightstand.“Yeah. I can’t just sit here while I’m supposed to start working at a major company in a week. All thanks to you. Thanks, Tony,” Jade replied, her tone dripping with sarcasm.Tony smiled wide. He caught the sarcasm, but he couldn’t help finding it amusing. Jade was clearly nervous, even though he had already set everything up for her to start at PLS Group.“Where are you headed, Jade? Do you need a ride?” Tony offered.“No need,” Jade quickly responded. “I can go on my own. Besides, you already gave me that pink Ferrari. What’s the point of giving me such an expensive car if you’re still driving me around?”Tony nodded. Right now, his wife was dressed in a sharp office outfit—a knee-length, form-fitting skirt, a soft white blouse, and a blazer that matched the skirt.It wasn’t often that Tony saw Jade dressed like this, and honestly, he was m

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Nothing Suspicious?

    Tony sped down the road, his car slicing through the wind as he headed for Ashdell Forest.Midway, his phone buzzed with an incoming call from Mark."Anything yet?" Tony asked, his voice clipped.[Nothing unusual at Ashdell Forest so far, General. But about fifteen minutes ago, three motorcyclists entered the woods. They haven't come out since.]"Just three?"[Yes, General.]Tony narrowed his eyes. His gut told him those three riders weren’t alone; they likely had backup, lying in wait."What about my wife?" he asked next.[My men are keeping a close watch on her. So far, everything's clear. That pink Ferrari of hers is parked outside an insurance company downtown.]Tony frowned. "Nothing suspicious?"[Not yet, General.]"The people tailing her?"[We haven’t spotted them yet, sir.]"Keep looking. I know they’re out there. Make sure she’s safe. If anything happens to her, heads will roll."[Understood, General.]Tony hung up and tossed his phone onto the dashboard. If it weren’t for

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   I'm In Control Here

    In a split second after realizing something was approaching him quickly, Tony shifted his body forward, avoiding the attack.Apparently, someone had run towards him and had just thrown a knife at him.Tony managed to dodge, but now he had to face two arrows aimed at him.Trang! Trang!Finally, he deflected the two arrows with his hands. They flew to the right and left; two explosions followed a second apart.Not over yet. Tony now had to face the person who was running quickly towards him; the man was holding a long sword in one hand.Swoosh!The man tried to slash at Tony. Tony dodged, but the man moved his sword quickly, leaving him no time to breathe, let alone strike back.On the other side, the archer was aiming at him again, ready to release two more arrows.Tony kept dodging and dodging. This time he couldn't use his hands to parry the attack because, from what he saw, the sword his attacker was using was very sharp.Whoosh! Whoosh!Two new arrows were fired. Tony realized it f

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Fatal Mistake

    The stabber's eyes lit up instantly. He now looked at Tony boldly. A slight smile formed on his face."What's with that face? Did my attack just damage your brain?" Tony sneered.The stabber's smile widened. He activated loudspeaker mode on his phone and said to the caller, "Tell me what to say. The target is in front of me."Tony furrowed his brow, looking at the stabber with questioning eyes. He continued to step forward.[Hey, Tony. If you don't want to find your beautiful wife dead, you better stop retaliating against my buddies over there. This is our first and last warning.]Tony's steps stopped. He could clearly hear what the caller was saying. He could also sense the seriousness of his threat. But, it didn't mean he just believed it."Who's there? You think you can intimidate me that easily, huh?" Tony said loudly.The caller chuckled. The stabber, showing his phone to Tony, smiled slyly.[You need proof that your wife is actually with us? Fine! Listen carefully!]There was a

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Something Was Off

    Leaving Ashdell Forest, Tony headed straight for Kuroacan. On the way, he called Mark.“What happened? Weren’t your men supposed to be watching and protecting my wife?” Tony snapped when Mark picked up.[My apologies, General. It seems my men were outwitted. They fell into the enemy’s trap.]“What do you mean? Explain yourself!”[Well, from the moment your wife entered the insurance company building, our enemies had her in their sights—indirectly at first. They didn’t make their move until she was leaving. It was negligence on my part and my men’s. We deeply apologize, General.]Tony listened with irritation. How had Jade slipped through the soldiers' protection? If they were in front of him right now, he’d probably run them all over.“What’s the situation now? Where did they take my wife?” Tony asked, clearly frustrated.[We’re still working on that, General. We’re tracking their trail. Once we have more information, we’ll update you immediately.]“Don’t bother!” Tony interrupted, hi

  • THE GREAT GENERAL   Where's My Wife?

    Tony finally arrived in Kuroacan District, at the location mentioned by the mysterious caller.As the man had requested, Tony brought the three people who had attacked him in the woods earlier. However, they were all dead.Tony turned off his car engine. While observing the surroundings, he got out of the car. As usual, he wasn't carrying any weapons."Come out! I'm here!" Tony said loudly.A moment later, the door of the building in front of him opened slowly. Tony focused his attention on the door. His eyes narrowed.Tony had thought that the ones who would appear behind the open door would be several people with guns in their hands, ready to rain down bullets on him.But he was wrong. The one who came out of the building was only one person. And he, at least for now, didn't seem to be holding any weapons.It was Jeffrey, the grand leader of The Black Devil.Tony increased his vigilance. From the gesture shown by the person who appeared, he knew he wasn't an ordinary person. He coul

  • 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
