THE GREAT GENERAL One Hundred Percent
"Tony, where have you been? Are you okay?" Jade asked, looking at Tony with concern.Josephine also looked at Tony, but her gaze was icy. The words of the police officer who interrogated her earlier, suggesting that Tony might be a mafia boss, still echoed in her mind."I had a bit of trouble. But I've sorted it out. And yes, I'm fine," Tony replied, stepping forward to approach Jade and her family."Trouble, you say? What now? Are you going to put us in danger again?" Sasha snapped him out of a sudden.Since Tony appeared, Sasha's expression had become cloudy. She was also influenced by the suspicions of the police officer about Tony, as voiced by Josephine earlier.Tony halted his steps. He looked at Sasha with irritation."I told you, Mom, I've dealt with it. You don't need to worry about anything. You're safe now," Tony said."Hmph! You act like you're our hero! If it weren't for you picking fights with the gunmen earlier, we wouldn't have had to be brought here for interrogation.
THE GREAT GENERAL A Shrill, Long Scream
Jade and Tony finally arrived at the 24-hour inn.They quickly made their way to the room they had booked for just three hours.The room was on the second floor, requiring them to climb the stairs.Perhaps due to its cheap rent, the inn didn't seem well-maintained.A musty smell immediately enveloped them as they walked on the balcony on the second floor, almost from the moment they set foot there.When they arrived at room 214, the room they rented, Tony quickly opened the door and pushed it open.Once inside the room, the musty smell was no longer noticeable due to the automatic room freshener.After Jade came in, Tony quickly closed and locked the door.Jade took off her coat and scarf, placing them on a wooden rack placed there to hang outerwear, scarves, or hats.Tony's eyes caught his wife's figure from behind as she turned around.He was stunned. Perhaps because his primal desire was running high, just seeing Jade's figure from behind like this already made him thirsty.Jade sl
THE GREAT GENERAL A Serious Murder Case
Following the long, shrill scream, now there was a commotion outside.Tony heard footsteps and murmurs. There were also loud questions being thrown around.It seemed that the inn was currently being visited by quite a few guests.Caught in such a situation, Jade and Tony were enveloped in awkwardness.Their game was still in its early stages, and now it felt really awkward to continue the game.Jade and Tony exchanged glances, seeming to think the same thing.Tony then withdrew his penis from Jade's hole, stepping back two steps.Jade looked disappointed, but this time she didn't blame Tony.Just like Tony, Jade also felt that she wouldn't be able to enjoy making love if they forced themselves to continue their game in such an unconducive situation."Jade, I'll check outside for a moment. You stay here, alright? Lock the door if necessary," Tony said as he put on his pants.Jade nodded lazily. "Be careful," she said."I won't be long," Tony replied, buttoning his shirt.Moments later,
THE GREAT GENERAL Barton, The Old Enemy
"Barton, is that you?" Tony asked, grinning and widening his eyes."Well, well, it's an honor to be remembered by a living legend in the military," Barton replied."What have you done to my wife, Barton? If her face is even scratched a bit, I'll finish you!""Hahaha... As usual, you love to threaten someone, Tony. Relax, your wife is still fine, for now. But if you don't arrive at the forest on the east side of town soon, well, who knows? I can't guarantee anything.""You bastard!! Don't mess with me, Barton! This time, I'll make sure you and your men disappear from this world!""Well, you know I won't just show up in your life again without any preparation, right? Good luck, The Great General."Barton ended the call abruptly, leaving Tony fuming with anger. His chest heaved with pent-up fury.He stared at the screen of the phone in his hand. Apparently, it wasn't the phone of the dead man in room 103. This phone was intentionally prepared by Barton to contact Tony.Barton, or someone
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony Went Berserk
"Shit! He called me to reveal my position!" Tony muttered.He immediately silenced the cell phone. He could have turned it off, but he thought he might need it to contact Barton later.The arrows kept coming, sticking into tree trunks and the ground. One arrow even lodged itself in the tree trunk where Tony was hiding.Tony knew he had to move quickly. But where to? He still hadn't found an opening.‘They're using arrows, which means they're far enough away from here. I won't be able to attack them with the stones in my pockets,’ Tony thought.As if endless, the arrows continued to rain down on him. Some of them landed back on the tree trunk against which he was pressed.If Tony moved now, he had to move very quickly. Or, he could move while deflecting the arrows coming straight at him.Tony looked around, assessing the current situation.He opted for the second choice."God bless me!"Tony ran forward, leaning his body to accelerate his pace.In his right hand, he held the long branc
THE GREAT GENERAL Deadly Counter Attack
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!A barrage of gunfire echoed loudly, followed by bursts of flame and screams.The archers, positioned high on branches of several trees, fell one by one.The three helicopters flying above the forest were attack helicopters.With their advanced weapon systems, it was not difficult for the soldiers in those helicopters to locate where the archers were.The archers seemed unprepared to face helicopters.Now they were in disarray. Some who hadn't been hit by the deadly shots immediately abandoned their positions, swiftly descending from the tall trees.Their rushed and panicked movements indicated their desperation. And this panic led to their downfall.While the archers managed to land on the ground, their fate was just as bleak.Tony, who had anticipated their movements, was already near them and swiftly dispatched them with lethal blows.Like before, Tony went berserk. He disposed of the descending archers in seconds. Not a single one was spared by him.Once he
THE GREAT GENERAL One Man Army
Tony shot the man in the black hood right in his right hand.The man reflexively recoiled. The pistol in his right hand slipped and fell to the ground.In that instant, Tony sprinted with such speed that his movements were almost imperceptible.Suddenly, he was already choking the man in the black hood and lifting him high."Where's Barton? Tell me!" he demanded.The man in the black hood struggled to respond. Breathing alone seemed difficult for him now.His legs kicked in the air. His left hand tried to release Tony's grip from his neck, while his right hand hung limp. Blood dripped from there.Aware that the man in the black hood's resistance was weakening, Tony released his chokehold, and the man slumped to the ground."Oh shit!" cursed the man in the black hood, closing his eyes and clutching his right hand.He coughed for a moment. Tony stepped forward, placing the sole of his shoe on the man's chest and pressing it down."Where is Barton? I'll spare you if you tell me where he
THE GREAT GENERAL Esther's New Strategy
Tony and Jade exchanged puzzled glances, then they turned to Josephine."What do you mean?" Tony asked."Just answer my question, Tony. Yes, or no?" Josephine replied, her gaze firm.Tony stared into Josephine's eyes, trying to guess what she was thinking."What's going on? What did you say just now, Josephine?" Sasha chimed in, approaching Josephine."Here, Mom, take a look at this video," Josephine said, bringing her phone screen closer to Sasha.Sasha squinted, trying to watch the reel video with her nearsighted eyes—without her glasses.After a moment, her expression turned cloudy. Her eyes widened."When did this happen?" Sasha asked."Tonight, Mom. About two hours ago. Now, watch it again, Mom. Pay attention to the man coming out of the room on the first floor," Josephine said, replaying the video and letting Sasha watch it.Tony observed the two of them suspiciously. Whatever was in the video Sasha was watching, it didn't seem good."I'll go to bed first. I'm tired," Jade said.

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
