THE GREAT GENERAL Resigned To Accepting Punishment
Amanda, the saleswoman who assisted Tony in buying his car, now stood in front of the door of a hotel room.She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. As she pressed her hand to her chest, she could feel her heart beating faster than usual.'You stupid, Amanda. This is all your fault. You picked a fight with someone so wealthy,' she scolded herself inwardly.Amanda straightened her back, slowly raising her right hand.She hesitated before knocking on the door, contemplating whether to leave and cancel whatever she was about to do with Tony who was waiting inside the room.But fear held her back. If she did that, Tony might hunt her down, terrify her, and force her to leave the town.That's Amanda's perception of Tony. In their last conversation at the showroom, Tony reminded her of her promise to be of service if her suspicion about Tony's ability to purchase an expensive car at the showroom where she worked turned out to be wrong.A mocking smile from Tony lingered in Amanda's mind.
THE GREAT GENERAL You're Not Asking Me To Have Sex With You?
Amanda furrowed her brows, momentarily frozen. Instead of pouncing on her right away, Tony asked her to clean up his spilled drink on the floor?But then she thought, 'Maybe this is some sort of game for him. A warm-up before engaging in sex with him, so to speak.'Amanda squatted down and turned her body to the left, intending to wipe the dark red puddle on the floor.But she looked puzzled."There's no mop here. And don't even think about using the towel in the bathroom. Just use whatever you just took off. Whether it's the cardigan, or the shirt, or the underwear, it's up to you. Just don't use anything else," Tony said.Amanda glared at Tony in irritation. Was this guy serious? Did he really expect her to use her expensive underwear to mop the floor? Ridiculous!"Hurry up! Don't make me repeat my words!" Tony snapped.Tony's bossy behavior irritated Amanda. As she wiped the dark red puddle with her cardigan, she cursed inwardly, continuously.Tony was truly trying to humiliate her
THE GREAT GENERAL Hammond To Take Revenge
The taxi carrying Tony arrived in front of Josh's house. It was almost nine in the evening. Tony glanced at the porch, ensuring there were signs that the house wasn't empty.Earlier, Jade had indeed asked him to come here, not to the hospital. Sasha's condition had improved; she was supposed to go home tomorrow. Tonight, only Josephine was taking care of her.As usual, Tony unlocked the gate with his spare key. After entering, he closed and locked the gate again, walking towards the porch with growing curiosity.He wondered what his father-in-law wanted to discuss with him. Knock! Knock! "Jade, it's me," Tony said after knocking on the door.Soon, footsteps approached. The door opened, pulled inward, revealing Jade. "Come in. Dad is waiting for you at the dining table," Jade said.His wife left, perhaps heading to the dining table. Tony closed and locked the door before following her.The house felt empty, reminding Tony of the moment when only he and Josephine were there. Strong g
THE GREAT GENERAL What An Amazing Gift!
At the headquarters of Robertson Group...Esther, the CEO of Robertson Group, was in her office, working on something very seriously on her laptop.Knock! Knock!Someone knocked on the door."Come in," said Esther.The door opened. Vionna, Esther's secretary, entered the room and walked straight to Esther's desk."What's wrong, Vionna? Why the long face?" Esther teased, furrowing her brows."Ms. Esther, Mr. Hammond Sturkluson wants to meet with you. He and his assistant are downstairs. In the lobby," said Vionna with a serious expression."What did you say?!" Esther exclaimed.Esther immediately stood up and placed both of her hands on the desk. Her eyes widened."Hammond Sturkluson, the owner of the renowned Sturkluson Group business empire?" Esther confirmed."Yes, Ms. Esther," replied Vionna."But why? Why would someone as important as him come here? Does he really want to meet with me?" Esther asked."Yes, Ms. Esther.""Does he have something to discuss with me? Business matters?"
THE GREAT GENERAL Greed and Cunning
Esther froze for a moment. She wondered if she had misheard.But it didn't seem so. Hammond Sturkluson's expression matched what she had just heard."Apologies, Mr. Hammond. If I may ask, what's the connection between the extraordinary gift you're offering and my brother and his company?" Esther asked, still very cautious with her choice of words and tone.But Hammond Sturkluson stared at her coldly. He glanced at Bond, then nodded.Bond returned the mysterious nod from Hammond, then he closed the large black suitcase on the table."If you don't want it, then so be it. I'll leave now. Don't blame me if you regret it later," said Hammond Sturkluson, standing up and pretending to leave."Wait, Sir!"Panicked, Esther immediately stood up and placed both of her hands on the table, leaning slightly forward."Why? Don't you want my gift?" sneered Hammond.Esther's face reddened. She was in her territory, but she felt humiliated by Hammond."You misunderstand, Mr. Hammond. I could never refu
THE GREAT GENERAL Esther's Evil Incitement
At the Robertson family residence..."Esther, are you sure about what you just said?" Grandma Tiffany asked, staring at Esther, her eldest daughter, with disdain."Absolutely, Mom. I got this information from a reliable source. What Josh and his useless son-in-law did was absolutely outrageous!" Esther replied.Esther was referring to the incident at a restaurant involving Henry Truman, the CEO of NBM Group, the other day. She had received this information from Bond, Hammond Sturkluson's assistant."Disgraceful! Since when did Josh become so barbaric? Is it because of that scoundrel Tony?""It could be, Mom. Tony has been living off Josh's hospitality for so long. It's only natural that Josh would eventually catch some of that trash's barbarism. They should have kicked Tony out a long time ago!"The information Esther conveyed to Grandma Tiffany about the incident involving Henry Truman wasn't entirely accurate.She stated that Josh participated in assaulting Henry Truman, when in fac
THE GREAT GENERAL The Wind of Victory?
"What do you mean by that, Grandma? Are you suggesting that you want to kick us out of the Robertson family?"Jade stepped forward towards Grandma Tiffany. What her grandmother had just said truly struck her."Heh, Jade, mind your words! You're facing the current leader of the Robertson family. Remember that!" Esther warned Jade.Jade glared at her aunt in annoyance but said nothing. She then turned her gaze back to Grandma Tiffany."Explain, Grandma, what do you mean by your previous words?" Jade urged, this time with a calmer tone.Grandma Tiffany looked at Jade with irritation. Jade used to be her favorite granddaughter. However, since she married that useless Tony, she wasn't anymore.Jade indeed possessed a natural beauty equivalent to the most beautiful sights in the world, but her choice to stick with Tony in her marriage disgusted Grandma Tiffany.We recall that at Grandma Tiffany's recent birthday party, Jade had the chance to accept the proposal of Bobby, who was clearly wea
THE GREAT GENERAL Esther's Deception Revealed
"What's up? Just spill it," Henry Truman replied.Josh then explained his situation. He requested Henry Truman's willingness to testify about what actually happened at the restaurant the other day, and how that incident related to his current situation and condition."Okay. Connect me to your mother," Henry Truman said coldly.Josh, who was initially anxious, began to see hope. He activated the speakerphone mode and handed his phone over to Grandma Tiffany."Mom, Henry Truman wants to talk to you directly," Josh said.Grandma Tiffany took the phone with narrowed eyes, full of suspicion.Beside her, Esther began to look worried. Her stance was no longer as composed as before."Mr. Henry Truman?" Grandma Tiffany greeted."Good evening, Mrs. Tiffany Robertson. I want to clarify some things regarding the incident at the restaurant mentioned by your son just now. You're mistaken if you think Josh did anything to me. He even left the restaurant before I finished my business with Tony. Your

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
