THE GREAT GENERAL The Wind's Direction Changed?
The employees and bar customers fell silent as they witnessed what had just happened.Alone, Tony fought off dozens of bare-chested men who had ganged up on him, and he emerged victorious.Now, as Tony took slow steps towards the Black Mamba mafia member known as "Brother," he resembled a protagonist from a Hollywood action film.Everyone was now betting on him. There was no longer any doubt."Now that guy's toast!""About time! He deserves to be beaten to a pulp!""He and his cronies have been wreaking havoc in our favorite bar. I support this hero to teach him a lesson!""Yeah, just beat him until he drops dead!""Until he drops dead!"The bar customers were openly rallying behind Tony now. They were no longer afraid of The Black Mamba mafia. After all, only one of them remained standing.The support from the bar customers relaxed Tony even more. He took a deep breath, narrowing his eyes slightly.At this point, Brother pulled out his concealed weapon again. This time, it was a smal
THE GREAT GENERAL Unexpected Offering
Brother stumbled back, losing his balance. Lockey immediately caught him and pinned him down. Tony pulled the woman who had been held hostage by Brother towards him."Are you okay?" Tony asked the woman.She seemed to be in his embrace right now. The woman blushed, her cheeks turning red."Uh, yeah. I'm fine," the woman said as if she had forgotten that her left cheek had been grazed by the knife."Good. Now try to attend to the wound on your cheek," Tony reminded the woman, gently urging her to step away from the battleground.Tony then refocused his attention on Brother. The man seemed to be struggling to free himself from Lockey's grip. Fresh blood flowed profusely from his nostrils.Tony stepped forward. He clenched his right hand."How dare you hold a woman hostage and even injure her. You coward!" Tony scolded.Brother's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what had just happened.In a split second, the situation suddenly changed. The tide was no longer in his favor."Just let him
THE GREAT GENERAL Buying Some Time
Eusebio chuckled as Tony slipped his phone back into his pants pocket."Who did you just call, Tony? Your troops? Are you trying to bluff me?" he taunted.Tony didn't respond to his words. He was thinking about how he could stall for time until reinforcements arrived.Moments later, there was commotion from outside. Initially, the dominant sounds were engine roars, then they transitioned into footfalls."Ah, are those the troops you called earlier, Tony?" Eusebio teased again.Even without checking outside, Tony already knew that the newcomers weren't Mark's troops.It was more likely that they were the people Eusebio had just called.The door was pushed open forcefully, and several people entered.Unlike the tank top-wearing men from earlier, these people were clad in tight black shirts, showcasing their arm and chest muscles.And they were carrying rifles. Now, some of them were pointing those rifles at the bar patrons."Stay where you are! Don't even think about trying to run if yo
THE GREAT GENERAL The End of The Black Mamba
"What did you say?!" Eusebio yelled.This was the moment Tony had been waiting for. Quickly, he lunged forward, tackling Eusebio.Eusebio reflexively aimed his pistol at Tony, but Tony was faster. He grabbed Eusebio's right wrist and slammed Eusebio to the floor.Bang!"Ah!!"The pistol in Eusebio's hand fell away. Tony then stepped on Eusebio's head with his foot, pressing it down until Eusebio screamed in pain."Don't mess around or you'll see your boss's head shattered!" Tony threatened, glaring at The Black Mamba mafia members—including Eusebio's bodyguard.They froze. None of them dared to take the risk.Meanwhile, outside, another round of gunfire was heard, followed by shouts.The Black Mamba mafia members standing at the doorway rushed in. Their faces were pale as if they had just seen a ghost.In short, the situation in the bar was finally completely under Tony's control.Mark's troops had done their job well.Now, the remaining conscious Black Mamba mafia members were in han
THE GREAT GENERAL Esther's Next Plan
Esther immediately hung up the phone. She placed her phone on her desk, her eyes wide."This... What does this mean...?" she muttered.She knew that the person who had just spoken to her was Tony. But Tony called her through Eusebio's cell number. That's what puzzled Esther.Several possibilities crossed her mind.First, Tony might have taken Eusebio's phone. Somehow, Eusebio no longer had his phone, and now Tony had it.Second, Tony and Eusebio might be in the same place, and Tony forced Eusebio to give him his phone. But how could a scumbag like Tony force a mafia boss like Eusebio to do something for him?Third, Tony and Eusebio might actually be friends; they are currently in the same place, and Eusebio, voluntarily, gave his phone to Tony so that Tony could call Esther. But was that possible? It seemed unlikely.Fourth, Tony managed to defeat Eusebio, and that's why he could forcibly take the phone. This one, in Esther's eyes, seemed impossible. Tony was just an ordinary poor man
THE GREAT GENERAL Esther's Big Smile
Esther grinned widely after ending her phone conversation with Keanu.Now she leaned back in her chair, tilting her head back towards the ceiling, swiveling her chair from side to side like a pendulum."This time, you're done for, Tony. This is what happens when you mess with me. Never in my life has anyone openly challenged me and remained unscathed," Esther said.She closed her eyes, her smile widening until her red gums were visible.This time she was completely sure that Tony would meet his end.And not just Tony, but also Josh and his family.Keanu, the person she had just contacted, was a mercenary.Esther had met Keanu a few years ago when she had to eliminate her business rival through cunning means.A business associate of hers at the time, Robin, introduced Esther to Keanu.Esther had to dig deep into her pockets to hire Keanu and his men, but the results met her expectations.However, beyond their satisfactory work, there was one thing about Keanu and his men that she disli
THE GREAT GENERAL Tony vs. The Gunmen
"The waiter, what's the meaning of this? Why are the lights suddenly turned off like this?" Hayley protested, raising her voice.There was no answer and no one came, but Tony, with his heightened sense of hearing, could hear the unusual footsteps in the hallway.Tony immediately pushed his chair back and stood up."What are you doing, Tony? Where are you going?" Jade asked, looking at Tony anxiously."I'm going to check the situation. You all stay here," Tony said firmly.Jade attempted to grab Tony's hand to hold him back, but Tony moved first.Everyone at the table looked at Tony confusedly as he walked towards the window."Why is he doing this, Josh?" Sasha whispered."I don't know," Josh whispered back."Don't let him embarrass us," Sasha whispered again.Tony actually heard those whispers, but he chose to ignore them.Right now, standing near the window, he looked down, checking for any suspicious movements below.'Or maybe above?' he thought, tilting his head up to the sky.Unfo
THE GREAT GENERAL These People Are Dangerous!
Tony easily incapacitated the shooter. The man stumbled and vomited blood. Now he lay unconscious.Tony bent down to pick up the shooter's rifle. He knew this wasn't over yet. There were still people he had to face.The question was: where were they?Driven by instinct, Tony moved towards the room where he had heard suspicious noises earlier. Occasionally, he glanced to the right and left, ensuring there was no lurking danger.When Tony arrived at the intended room, he pressed his back against the wall near the door, then, cautiously, he peeked into the room.There were several gunmen inside. On the floor, hotel and restaurant employees knelt with their hands tied or handcuffed in front of them.They all looked frightened. Some of them were lying on the floor with blood pooling around them. They seemed to be the ones who had been shot earlier.Tony quickly counted how many armed individuals he had to face if he entered.Also quickly, he ran simulations in his head.This was indeed To

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
