THE GREAT GENERAL Stop Your Lies!
"Michelle, what’s going on here?” Tony asked, shutting the door as he fixed his gaze on her. Despite the bullet that had clearly struck the wall, she seemed unfazed. It was Michelle who appeared tense, gripping the gun tightly with both hands. “Where’s my phone? Give it back!” Michelle shouted. “Michelle, what’s wrong with you? Why are you acting like this? Did I teach you to yell at someone who’s trying to help?” Patrick protested. “Shut up, Dad! You let Tony take my phone. That’s a mistake I won’t forgive!” she snapped. At that moment, Patrick was tied to a wooden chair near the bed. Earlier, when the head servant returned, Michelle had pointed the gun at him, demanding he tie up Patrick or she would shoot her father. She had taken the gun from the nightstand drawer, buried deep beneath a pile of papers. How she ended up with a gun hidden like that was a conversation for another time. “Where’s my phone, Tony? Hurry up and give it back!” Michelle barked again. Tony reached
THE GREAT GENERAL Shocking Decisions
Patrick was stunned by what Tony had just said. Quit being Michelle’s bodyguard? Just like that?“Tony, we can talk about this later. Things are really chaotic right now. It’s best we don’t make any decisions at the moment,” Patrick urged.Tony shook his head.“No, Mr. Patrick. This is the perfect moment for me to make this decision. Besides, Kyllian has already left the city. There’s nothing to worry about anymore, right?” Tony countered.Patrick wanted to argue, but he didn’t know what to say.Tony was right—now that Kyllian had returned to his homeland, Michelle wasn’t in any immediate danger. But Patrick still wanted Tony to continue being Michelle’s bodyguard for a while longer. He wanted Tony to help protect his daughter, especially when she wasn’t doing so well.And what if that man, Kyllian, came back? Who would protect Michelle then?Patrick was about to say something, but Tony spoke first.“And as for our business partnership, Mr. Patrick, it ends here too. I’ll be withdrawi
THE GREAT GENERAL You Didn't Watch The News?
Around two in the afternoon, Tony arrived at the Robertson family home. He made a beeline for Tiffany.“So, Uncle David just up and took your precious jewelry, Grandma? He really did something that foolish?” Tony asked.“Stop insulting him. David is my son, after all,” Tiffany admonished.“Okay, okay. I won't criticize your darling boy anymore. But what about him taking your precious jewelry?” “As I said, don’t ask me to repeat what I’ve told you!” Tiffany snapped.Tony smirked. Tiffany was in a foul mood, likely because David had done something to really disappoint her.“Now answer my question. What have you done to him? You’ve done something to him, haven’t you? Don’t hide anything from me,” Tiffany pressed.Tony shrugged, raising his eyebrows. “I just helped him realize how badly he’s been treating me and your family. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, Grandma.”“What do you mean? Speak clearly! No beating around the bush!” Tiffany scolded again.Tony sighed and said,
THE GREAT GENERAL Who The Hell Is This Guy?
Tony furrowed his brows. The harbor? Michelle was at the harbor? What was she doing there?“You want me to rush to the harbor now and do something for Michelle?” Tony asked sarcastically.[Yes. Hurry. Before it’s too late.]Tony considered it for a moment, trying to guess what could be happening with Michelle at the harbor. Maybe she was trying to end it all?But even if that was true, why should he care?“You go to the harbor. Whatever happens to Michelle is no longer my problem,” Tony snapped coldly.[What?!]Tony ended the call. He had to draw the line this time. People needed to know where his boundaries were.So when Jessica called again, he immediately hit the “reject” button.His business with Michelle was done. She was out of his life, and that was final.Tony’s phone buzzed again. He was about to hit “reject” once more, but hesitated when he saw his wife’s name on the screen.With a sigh, he pressed “accept” and brought the phone to his ear.“What’s up, Jade?”[Tony, Josephin
THE GREAT GENERAL Cut One of Your Fingers Off!
"Tell me, how much are you paid for each time you service someone in bed? Have you been doing this for long?" Frank asked as he sat down in the chair previously occupied by the saleswoman.Tony stared at him straight on, drumming his fingers on the table."Are you stupid or something?" Tony retorted.Frank's eyes widened. "What do you mean by that, huh?""Your logic is messed up. Let’s say I did service the woman earlier; how much do you think I’d be paid? Enough to buy this showroom?"Frank glared at Tony with disgust. He loved mocking people but couldn’t stand being mocked himself."Let me give you a warning. Get out and leave me alone. You won’t be able to handle the consequences of making me angry," Tony said.Frank initially stared at him coldly, then said, "My uncle is one of the directors here. You say you want to buy this showroom? Well, you might end up facing him. We’ll see what he has to say when he hears your nonsense directly."A sneer appeared on Frank's face. As he star
THE GREAT GENERAL Finish Him Off!
Shania sprang from her seat, her eyes wide with shock."Mr. Gary, who are these people? Did you invite them in?" Shania demanded, staring at Gary incredulously."Shut your mouth, Shania! Whatever happens in this room must not be leaked. Do you understand?" Gary snapped.Shania's eyes darted nervously to the thugs, her legs trembling. She gripped the back of her chair to steady herself.Frank, meanwhile, was still grimacing in pain as he struggled to remove the folding knife embedded in his right thigh."Is this a showroom waiting area or a fighting arena?" Tony jeered."Shut up, you son of a bitch! You've used up all your chances to talk. You're finished," Gary retorted.Tony smirked, casting a disdainful look at the thugs. They underestimated him, a mistake they would soon regret."Mr. Tony, I’m sorry. I didn’t—"Tony raised his left hand, cutting off Shania's words."Sit back down and close your eyes. No matter what happens, keep your eyes shut until I give you a signal," Tony instr
THE GREAT GENERAL Have A Safe Drive, Sir!
About half an hour later, in the showroom lobby...Long walked with purpose beside Tony. They had just completed all the paperwork for the showroom purchase.Long occasionally glanced at Tony, his amazement evident. He hadn’t expected someone as young as Tony to possess such incredible wealth and influence.“Is the car I’m going to use ready?” Tony asked.“Yes, sir. It’s out front,” Long replied.As the new owner of the showroom, Tony had the right to choose any car as his personal vehicle, and he had selected an elegant blue Lotus Emira, which was now parked outside the lobby.Seeing Long accompany and treat Tony with such respect, the showroom employees watched Tony with curiosity.Their appearances were indeed a stark contrast—one was very fancy and classy, the other was quite ordinary, even overly so.But no one dared look down on Tony now. If Tony happened to glance their way, they reflexively nodded in respect.Tony himself was indifferent to the formalities. He wasn’t intereste
THE GREAT GENERAL Chase and Blockade
Tony furrowed his brow. Gary? It took him a few seconds to realize that Hubbert Long was referring to the former director of the GAA showroom—the same guy who had just sent thugs into the waiting room to rough him up.Tony’s eyes focused forward again. So, these men were sent by Gary to mess with him once more? Some kind of revenge? Was Gary still not satisfied even after getting fired by Hubbert Long earlier?As Tony contemplated this, the men dressed in all black continued closing in. Their faces were fierce.Tony glanced behind him, checking if there was a chance to turn around or back out. Not that he was scared or anything; he just wanted to get to Vermaen Hospital as quickly as his wife had asked.Honestly, taking down these goons would be easy for Tony, but he didn’t know what might be waiting for him after. He suspected Gary had more of his people stationed at other points around this intersection.Then, spotting a gap wide enough for his nimble new car, Tony released the hand

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
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
