THE GREAT GENERAL A Big Catch For Josh, But...
In the Redsphire Co. office, Josh sat in his chair, leaning back and looking up at the ceiling.Now and then, he closed his eyes deeply. He wanted to relax all the muscles in his body.Thinking about a way out to deal with the company's situation made him very tired.Now, he didn't even feel like doing anything."It's all because of that damn trash. He's always causing trouble. He's making my situation worse over time," Josh grumbled.Tony's face instantly appeared in his mind and he immediately opened his eyes, straightened his back, and corrected his sitting position.Lately, his anger always suddenly emerged and piled up when Tony's annoying antics crossed his mind."Hang in there, Josh. Just a few more days. Just a few more days and you've successfully gotten rid of that parasitic bastard," he told himself.Josh reopened his laptop. He put on his glasses again and immediately focused on what appeared on the screen.Knock! Knock!"Mr. Josh, it's me, Angela."Josh's secretary's rasp
THE GREAT GENERAL Everything Has Been Resolved
"Is there something you don't understand, Mr. Josh?" Hayley asked."Umm... yes, Miss Hayley. You just said that my son-in-law has made a significant contribution to this partnership. Honestly, I don't understand what you mean by that," Josh explained.Hayley changed her sitting position again, switching the leg that was initially on top to the bottom."If what you mean is what kind of contribution your son-in-law exactly has, I can't explain it."But one thing I can say: You're lucky to have a son-in-law like Tony, Mr. Josh. He could lead you and your family to great success and prosperity one day."Josh furrowed his brow again. He had initially suspected that he had misheard or that Hayley had misspoken, but apparently, neither was the case.Hayley seemed to know Tony or at least had met and interacted with him somewhere.Although it sounded unreasonable to Josh, the possibility that it did happen was very high considering the way Hayley spoke about Tony.Josh was so confused that he
THE GREAT GENERAL Josh's Decision
Jade was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you mean, Tony? Please don't confuse me. My day has been hard enough, you know.""Are you at the hospital, Jade? Is the CEO of PLS Group near you right now?" Tony asked.Jade furrowed her brow. "How do you know?" she asked."I'll explain that at the right moment. For now, just focus on what the CEO of PLS Group is telling you. No matter how strange what she says sounds to you, just believe that she's telling the truth. You're going to shine, Jade. The moment of your and your family's rise is in sight. Be prepared," Tony replied.Jade didn't understand what Tony was saying. But before she could ask again, Tony ended the call abruptly.Now the sound of 'tuuut' repeated, as if the sound was echoing in her head. Jade lowered her hand holding her phone. She directed her eyes back to Hayley.Hayley immediately smiled and nodded respectfully. Questions were flying around in Jade's mind."What's going on? I really don't understand. This is so.
THE GREAT GENERAL Henry Truman's Revenge, Tony's Strategy
"What the fuck are you waiting for? Quickly open your pants and bend over like a buffalo! Or do you want to cancel your decision?" Henry Truman said.For him, Josh's decision to give up was a disaster.The real purpose behind the partnership offer and the $30-40 billion funding to Redpshire Co. was to get Jade and Tony divorced. That's what Hammond Sturlkuson emphasized the other day.If in the end, Jade and Tony don't get divorced, what's the point? It was a waste of time and energy to deal with this unreasonable partnership offer.And if the NBM Group's partnership with Redsphire Co. had to be canceled, he had to feel satisfied by punishing Josh as he pleased.Henry Truman still clearly remembered how Tony scared him half to death in the bar the other day.If he couldn't take revenge on Tony directly, he would take revenge on Josh as Tony's father-in-law.Josh still found his hands and feet trembling. His appetite was completely gone. Even now he felt nauseous, wanting to vomit ever
THE GREAT GENERAL No Mercy For Henry Truman
Henry Truman, his bodyguards, and the people he had summoned into the restaurant were all stunned at the appearance of the soldiers.If it were only one or two people, they might still think that these people were not real soldiers; say, Tony had paid them to pretend to be soldiers and intimidate them.But there were too many of them. And not only that, they were fully armed.The spacious and open restaurant suddenly felt cramped. The other restaurant staff this time really stepped aside, not wanting to be dragged into the potential chaos.Josh was just as stunned as Henry Truman and his people.Josh didn't know that these soldiers had come to save him. He didn't know anything about the relationship between these soldiers and his trashy son-in-law."Calm down, Dad. They're here to help us," said Tony as if he could hear what Josh was mumbling in his head.Interestingly, Tony said that while he himself was still being held at gunpoint by Henry Truman. The muzzle of the gun was still pr
THE GREAT GENERAL A Hard Choice
"Forgive me! Please forgive me!"Henry Truman pleaded as he felt a great pain in his back. Tony was indeed pressing the tip of his shoe hard against Henry Truman's back."What did you say?" Tony asked sarcastically."I beg for mercy. I admit I was wrong and I beg for mercy. Please forgive me. Don't torture me more than this," Henry Truman pleaded."Why should I forgive you? Do you think you're in a position to negotiate with me?""Please forgive me! Please! I will do anything to atone for my mistake. Please forgive me!""Anything? You will do anything for me?""Yes. I will do anything you ask, as long as you forgive me. Please stop stepping on my back so hard."Henry Truman's face, wet from his own vomit, was already red. The pain he felt was so unbearable.Tony still maintained the position of his right foot. A thin smile appeared on his face as Henry Truman groaned in pain.And when Tony finally lifted his foot, Henry Truman sighed."Okay. I'll give you one chance, just one chance,
THE GREAT GENERAL Toxic Old Friend
"Are you serious with your words?" Tony asked, smirking dismissively."Yes! I'm serious! If you can indeed buy the most expensive car in our showroom, I will call you Big Boss and I will serve you tonight. That's if you can!" the saleswoman replied, annoyed.Tony extended his right hand, inviting the saleswoman to shake hands."Then we have a deal?" Tony asked."Yeah!" The saleswoman shook Tony's hand firmly."Okay. Show me your most expensive cars," Tony said.The saleswoman put on an even grumpier face. This time, she completely disregarded Tony as a customer.And they arrived at the other side of the showroom where the most expensive cars were displayed.It was a special room with a luxurious and classy interior.The people there, being attended to by salesmen or saleswomen, were elegantly dressed and emitted a strong fragrance.The cars there, of course, looked much more enticing than the ones the saleswoman had shown Tony earlier."This is our most expensive car. Limited edition.
THE GREAT GENERAL That Black Card Is Real?
Tony took his black card back and handed it to the saleswoman."Use this card. Process the payment right now," he requested.The saleswoman took the card. She realized that her hand was slightly trembling.She examined the card carefully. As one of the experienced saleswomen in the showroom, she had served so many wealthy people. Many of them paid with credit cards; one of them paid with a black card.However, what she held in her hand now was not the same as the black card she had held before.The black card that Tony handed her looked special. There were small gold particles at its edges.The woman wondered if this indicated that this black card was a level above the black card used by one of her clients."What are you waiting for? Process it quickly!" Tony said, annoyed."Ah, okay," the saleswoman replied, snapping out of her thoughts.She then left. Her steps were slightly faster than before. As she walked, her eyes kept glancing at the black card she was holding."I'm amazed at y

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
