THE GREAT GENERAL Jade’s Suspicion Grew Wildly
Before Tony could say anything, the mysterious caller immediately ended the call.Tony chuckled in annoyance. Who else was the fool who dared to threaten him?If that guy had known that the person he was threatening was the God of War, he would have peed his pants by now.Just now that guy said that Tony had broken his nephew's hand. Recently, there were two people whose hands Tony broke: the spoiled Bobby and the long-haired Rodrigo."Maybe what this guy meant by his nephew was one of them," he said.Not wanting to think too much about it, Tony put his cell phone and the table away and lay back down, closing his eyes.That morning, he didn't get enough sleep. He it would be okay if he slept for an hour or two there.And Tony fell asleep. When he woke up, he found the sky was starting to get dark.“Shit!” he cursed, grabbing his cell phone and standing up.He fell asleep a little longer than he had planned. Now he rushed to leave his luxury apartment unit, returning to his wife's hous
THE GREAT GENERAL What A Great Show!
Tony was accompanying Cathy to look at accessories at a stand when he heard suspicious noises.When he turned his head, he saw men in army uniforms heading towards him. People stepped aside, making way for them."Hey, you! You're the one named Tony, right?” asked one of them loudly, pointing at him roughly.Cathy turned toward the source of the sound. She then looked at Tony and asked, "You know them?"Tony shook his head. He didn't know who these people were, but he knew they had bad intentions towards him."Tony, what should we do?" Cathy asked him worriedly."Just calm. Everything is gonna be fine," said Tony, placing his palm on Cathy's shoulder.Cathy turned and posed as their eyes met. For a moment, she seemed to see a different aura emitting from Tony's body.Tony looked… regal.“Come here, bastard! Let me knock out all your teeth!" shouted the man, showing Tony a fist.Seemed like he was the leader of these soldiers. The others just walked in silence. staring their focus at To
THE GREAT GENERAL Underestimating Tony Was A Big Mistake
Tony looked at the man in the black suit and narrowed his eyes.Whoever this person was, he had something to do with the lieutenant whose arm he broke earlier.And the number of soldiers he brought was much bigger It would be troublesome to face them all in an open space in front of so many people like this.“Tony, what should we do now? It doesn't look like they were playing around. This can't be a show, right?” asked Cathy.Tony didn't answer. He looked at the man in the black suit and the soldiers he brought with him. The lieutenant wasn't there.“Surround him!” shouted the man in the black suit, and immediately the soldiers he brought formed a circle, surrounding Tony while pointing their guns at him.Tony stayed where he was. He was thinking of what he better do.Actually, he could have beaten up all these soldiers right there, but that would have attracted too much attention.The situation was different from the time at the small repair shop the other day. Too many people."What
THE GREAT GENERAL A Cold Massacre
The soldiers had pointed their guns at Tony, but now they froze.Obviously, Tony wasn't messing around. He could easily finish off their boss, and that was not something they wanted.“Drop your weapons! Now!" Tony snapped.The soldiers did as Tony asked. Now Tony directed his eyes to the man in the black suit he was holding."What's your name? You must have a name, right?” Tony asked.“Ar… thur. My name is… Arthur,” the man answered, struggling.“Now, Arthur, explain to me what your relationship with that spoiled Bobby is! Are you part of the Sturkluson family too?”“Y-yes. I'm… Bobby's uncle…”So that was it. The day before Bobby asked his father to send people to finish him off, now he asked his uncle. What an annoying spoiled brat!“Arthur, you said that the lieutenant whose arm I broke was your soldier? Does he work for you? Do these soldiers work for you too?” Tony asked him.“Y-yes. T-they work… for me.”“But how can that be? These soldiers should have served the country, not yo
THE GREAT GENERAL Was Darren A Friend, or A Foe?
Tony looked at the sedan driver suspiciously. Who was this person? Why did he suddenly appear and ask them to go up?“What are you waiting for? Hurry up, get in!” asked the sedan driver.Even though he wasn't sure whether this person was a friend or a foe, Tony decided to take Cathy into the car. He and Cathy sat in the passenger seat.The sedan drove quickly, leaving the old warehouse.The streets were so quiet. There were absolutely no vehicles from any direction.“You guys okay? I heard gunshots a few minutes ago," said the sedan driver.Tony looked at him through the inside rearview mirror."I'm fine, but my friend isn't. We have to take her to a safe and quiet place," said Tony.The driver glanced in the inside rearview mirror. He said, “Okay. I'll take you guys downtown."Minutes passed and all that could be heard was the sound of a car engine.Tony let Cathy lean on his shoulder. Maybe because she was tired, Cathy fell asleep soundly.“By the way, I'm Darren,” said the sedan dr
THE GREAT GENERAL Such A Weird Condition
“Get up, Tony! You're crushing me!" Jade protested. She didn't realize that her husband had fainted.Tony was so heavy. Jade had to use all of her strength to push Tony to her right side. She then sat up and panted."Tony, you..."Jade didn't finish her sentence because she finally realized that Tony was unconscious."Tony, are you okay?"Jade checked Tony's condition. Thankfully, she could feel Tony's breath. But it was weak.“Jade, what's wrong? Why are you there in the middle of the night?"Josephine, who was disturbed by Jade's loud voices moments ago, was now standing on the balcony of her room.“Josephine, come help me. Tony passed out.”"Huh? Passed out?""Yes. Hurry up. I can't take him in alone.”"Okay, okay."Josephine went back into her room. While waiting for Josephine, Jade tried her best to drag Tony's body to the front porch.“Why are you so heavy, Tony? Are your bones made of steel?” Jade complained.Of course, there was no response from Tony. He was completely unconsc
THE GREAT GENERAL A Declaration of War?
Creases appeared on Josh's forehead. What did Henry Truman just say? Did he mishear or something? “Sorry, Mr Herny. I just want to make sure. So, the condition you put forward is that I have to divorce my daughter Jade from her husband?" Josh asked. "Correct. Is there anything unclear?" Henry Truman replied. "Ah, no. It’s clear. Crystal," Josh said, shaking his head. So he didn't hear it wrong. What a strange condition for a business collaboration. “If you feel that the condition I put forward is too difficult to fulfill, just tell me. Then I will withdraw my offer to your company," said Henry Truman, leaning over and looking straight at Josh. “Oh, no, Mr. Henry. It’s not difficult at all. I will make sure my daughter divorces her husband," replied Josh quickly. He didn't want to lose this rare, golden opportunity. "You sure?" Henry Truman raised an eyebrow, smiling crookedly. “Yes, Mr. Henry. You can trust me,” Josh answered. Henry Truman nodded, leaning back against the sofa
THE GREAT GENERAL I Won't Let Anyone Separate Us
Henry Truman sat cross-legged in his car. He had just left the Redsphire Co. office.“That's right, Mr. Sturkluson. Josh Robertson agreed to the terms we put forward. He has signed the agreement document too. Now, he has no choice but to force his daughter to divorce her useless husband," said Henry Truman."Good. Now make sure everything runs smoothly. Order some of your men to monitor the movements of Josh Robertson and his family. I don't want there to be even a small mistake.”“Understood, Mr. Sturkluson.”The one Henry Truman just talked with was Hammond Sturkluson. After their conversation ended, he breathed a sigh of relief.Hammond's sudden assignment was so unusual. Suddenly he asked Henry Truman to have the NBM Group collaborate with a mid-level company like Redsphire Co.Even in the most difficult situation, Henry Truman might not think about doing it.And that's not the only strange thing. Another strange thing was the condition proposed by Hammond Sturkluson. Since when d

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
