THE GREAT GENERAL The Extraordinary Driving Skills
"Damn! He's fucking good at driving, isn't he? I thought he was just an ordinary taxi driver!" Stark, who was in one of the black sedans tailing Tony, grumbled. He had been grumbling several times since chasing the taxi in front of him. "Can't you go faster? Are we really losing to a taxi driver? This car costs many times more than that taxi!" "It's a bit difficult, Boss. Because he keeps turning." "Ah, you're useless!" Stark slammed the car dashboard, then winced in pain because he did it too hard. Then he took out his phone, calling his subordinate in another car. "Jerry, order the second team to move!" The second team he referred to were the motorcyclists. They had been prepared at certain points, ready to join the chase if needed. Stark ended the call and then activated the tracker that had been installed in his car. The motorcyclists would move to the point that appeared on their digital map. "Damn! He's turning again!" Stark's subordinate who was driving grumbled. Ahe
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony was Not An Ordinary Man
The chain thrown by one of the motorcyclists stuck to the back hood of the taxi. It seemed like there was some kind of magnet at the end of the chain.Another motorcyclist did the same, followed by two more motorcyclists.Four chains were now attached—or perhaps embedded—in the back hood of the taxi. Then suddenly, the four motorcyclists turned around, speeding in the opposite direction."Shit!" the taxi driver cursed. What the four motorcyclists did almost made his forehead hit the steering wheel.What happened next was that the taxi's speed slowed down. Tony could feel it.Now, Tony looked back, thinking about what he could do with those iron chains."Hey, is it okay if I break the back window of your car?" Tony asked."Eh? Pardon, sir?" The taxi driver turned, looking at Tony confusedly.Tony didn't have time to repeat his question. He had to act quickly."Jade, stay in your position. Okay?" Tony said as he unbuckled his seatbelt.He then turned his body, moved to the back, and wit
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony's Cruel Punishment
"Pull over!" Tony instructed the taxi driver.The taxi promptly pulled over. Leaving the car engine running, the taxi driver turned around."Who are those people, sir?" the taxi driver asked."I'll answer that later. For now, wait here. I'll be back," Tony replied.Tony immediately opened the taxi door on his left. Before getting out, he looked at Jade, asking her to stay in the car with the taxi driver.Tony got out of the taxi and closed the door. Jade and the taxi driver exchanged confused glances. They then watched Tony walk towards the military blockade.Meanwhile, on the other side of the road..."Damn it! What's now? Are they soldiers?" Stark muttered. He had just ordered his men to stop."Seems like it, boss. What should we do now?" one of his men, the one who drove him, responded.In front of them were armored vehicles lined up, blocking the road.Passing through such a blockade was clearly impossible. And what worried Stark more, a helicopter had just appeared and was now he
THE GREAT GENERAL Jade's Warm Embrace
It had been more than ten minutes since Tony had left the taxi. Jade was starting to get anxious. What if something happened to her husband?"Where are you going, Ma'am?" the taxi driver asked Jade as she unbuckled her seatbelt.Jade didn't answer. She opened the car door on her right and got out."Ma'am, wait! The gentleman who was with you earlier asked us to stay in the car," the taxi driver said.Jade ignored him. She closed the taxi door and walked in the direction Tony had gone. Her steps were quick."Jeez! What now? What should I do?" the taxi driver grumbled.He could indeed leave, but he hadn't received the 200 thousand dollars Tony had promised earlier.He looked back, watching Jade approach the military blockade.'Damn it! I don't want to deal with the military, but I also don't want everything I've done so far to be in vain,' the taxi driver thought.Finally, he turned off the car engine, took out the key, and got out.He quickly followed Jade.Jade was now very close to t
THE GREAT GENERAL Tens of Billion of Dollars Within A Week?
"Be quiet, Jade! I've told you this is for the future of the company!""No, Dad, I'm not gonna be quiet! You can't just decide on my divorce like that! Besides, I have no intention of divorcing Tony! Please don't interfere in my marriage!"Slap!A hard slap landed on Jade's cheek. Tony was taken aback. He didn't have time to stop or block his father-in-law's hand."You know nothing about the company, Jade. I've been running it all this time, while you just sit around at home. You have no idea that the company currently needs a large injection of funds to avoid bankruptcy!"Jade was hurt to hear that. Indeed, since graduating from college, she didn't work in an office. She even refused her father's request to help him run the company because her interest was not there. But, it didn't mean she just sat around and did nothing.She had been writing web novels for hours every day, sometimes until late at night. At least she didn't have to depend on Josh to support herself and meet her need
THE GREAT GENERAL This Poor-Looking Guy is A Potential Investor?
After speaking with Mark, Tony put his phone back in his pocket.As he turned around, about to walk towards the porch, he realized that someone was watching him from the balcony.None other than, that person was Josephine.Josephine stared at him coldly. Tony didn't know what his sister-in-law was thinking. He also didn't know if Josephine heard anything he said earlier with Mark.Josephine gave a thin smile, then went into her room.Tony still stood staring at the balcony of Josephine's room for a while. Should he be worried?...The next morning, Tony left the house as usual.Today Patrick would come to the bar, but not until lunchtime.Tony had a few hours. He was now heading to the office of PLS Group, the company he was going to buy.Last night he received a document from Mark containing profiles of the five most successful companies in Karnaan City.After studying the profiles of the five companies, he chose PLS Group. He saw this company had the potential to be a place for his
THE GREAT GENERAL The New Owner of PLS Group
Alan froze for a moment. Tony's voice just now sounded different. His face also looked scary.“Three… Two… One…”With a quick movement, Tony released his hand from Alan's grip and twisted Alan's hand.Alan groaned in pain. He didn't expect Tony to be this strong. Tony's body was not as big as his.“I gave you three precious seconds, but you chose to sacrifice your hand. What a smart choice," Tony quipped, twisting Alan's arm further.“Oh my! Forgive me! Please let go of my hand!” Alan groaned.Should Tony forgive him?“Hey! What are you doing? Stop it!” shouted a security guard who had just entered the waiting room. He took out his electric baton.A few moments ago the receptionist called him and asked him to come in. The receptionist suspected that Tony had committed acts of violence against Alan.And now another security guard entered the waiting room. He took out his electric baton too.“Security guards, quickly arrest this crazy person! Drag him out! You can beat him up if you wan
THE GREAT GENERAL I Need The Best Ward in This Hospital
Tony was in a taxi heading to Vermaen Hospital.Earlier, he had asked Jade to call an ambulance to take Sasha there. It was much faster than waiting for him to come home first."Driver, can you go faster? I'll pay double," said Tony.The taxi driver looked at him confusedly. His passenger's appearance was ordinary; he didn't look like a rich person.But just to pay double the taxi fare, his passenger should be able to afford it. He would charge him later before letting him get off."Alright, sir," said the taxi driver.The taxi sped up, overtaking the cars in front of it.In the passenger seat, Tony was tapping the tip of his shoe against the frame of the seat in front of him.He was waiting for a reply from Jade. He hoped the ambulance his wife had called had already arrived at the hospital.And the message from Jade finally arrived a few minutes later.[Mom is being treated in the ER. I'm waiting for her alone in the waiting room. Are you still on the way? How much longer will it ta

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
