THE GREAT GENERAL The Master and His Sword
In Esther’s hospital room at Vermaen Hospital.“It’s okay, Esther. Don’t force yourself if your memory hasn’t returned yet,” Tiffany said gently.Sitting in her wheelchair, Tiffany gazed at Esther with a sad expression. This was the first time she had seen Esther since her eldest daughter was diagnosed with rare amnesia.Esther, lying in her bed, stared at the ceiling. She felt unenthusiastic. The person she wished to be with her right now wasn’t Tiffany but Claire.Claire had visited her yesterday. Of course, she didn’t recognize her at first, but she quickly felt a deep connection with her.Talking with Claire made her feel at ease. She could even laugh freely.Unfortunately, Claire couldn’t stay long yesterday because she had important matters to attend to. But she promised to visit again today.Esther wondered what was keeping Claire from coming since it was already late in the afternoon. She began to worry.“Don’t worry, Esther. Your memory will return in time. And you don’t need
THE GREAT GENERAL Tiffany's Decision
Night fell upon one of the Robertson Family's luxurious villas.Except for Esther, Jade, and Josephine, all the Robertson family members gathered in the villa’s main hall.The room was spacious, adorned with European-style chandeliers and surrealist paintings in the vein of Dali.Everyone there wore their finest outfits as if attending a grand party, except for one person: Tony.As usual, Tony wore his favorite attire—jeans and a t-shirt. Unlike the last time he attended Tiffany's birthday party, tonight Tony didn't look out of place despite his casual appearance.This was because most people there were already aware of Tony's recent developments; some had even witnessed them firsthand.Behind Tony's simple appearance, there was an aura of grandeur. Almost all the Robertson family members, especially Tony's cousins-in-law, didn’t dare to hold his gaze for long.They were waiting for Tiffany to enter the room. Each person was immersed in their conversations, discussing everything from
THE GREAT GENERAL A Dream Comes True
David froze in place. Had he heard it correctly? Tiffany, his doting mother who had always favored him, was now asking him to return to Germany and leave the management of the family business to Josh?David glared at Tiffany, rage boiling inside him. If the person who was standing before him was not Tiffany, he might have already unleashed a torrent of curses and insults at her.“Mom, what is this supposed to mean? You don’t trust my ability to manage our family business? You’d rather entrust the future of our business empire to Josh instead of me?” David protested.Tiffany looked at her eldest son with annoyance. Indeed, David was her favorite. She had forgiven him for choosing to go and live in Europe for the past few years. But now, she knew she couldn't continue to favor him.Josh had made the most of his opportunity. He had proven his business acumen, even partnering his small company with one of the leading company groups in Karnaan City.Tiffany couldn't just ignore Josh's achi
THE GREAT GENERAL A Good Man
Josh parked his car in the lot at Vermaen Hospital. He and his wife headed straight to Esther's inpatient room, while Tony stopped by the administration desk.“What’s the status of a patient named Esther Robertson?” Tony asked the woman at the desk, who had a round chin.The round-chinned woman took a moment to check the patient database. Then she looked up at Tony and said, “The records show that the patient had an outburst after receiving a visitor, around seven o'clock in the evening.”Tony furrowed his brow. He asked, “Who visited her at that time?”The round-chinned woman requested another moment to check the database. This time, wrinkles appeared on her forehead.“There’s no detailed record of the visitor. It just says she was a short-haired woman,” said the round-chinned woman.Tony thought for a moment. A short-haired woman? The image of Claire popped into his mind. Had Claire visited the hospital again? If so, what was she trying to do now?The thought of Claire visiting Esth
THE GREAT GENERAL Spider Web
The cars that had appeared from behind came to a halt once they were close enough to the taxi Tony was in. Their doors opened and out stepped men dressed all in black, each holding either a pistol or a rifle.Meanwhile, at the front, the trailer door of a long truck swung open. More men dressed in black emerged, each brandishing blunt weapons."What the hell..." muttered the taxi driver, his fear palpable. His hands shook as he gripped the steering wheel.Tony sighed. He couldn’t blame the driver. The situation was indeed dire.Not wanting to drag the driver into the mess, Tony pulled out some dollars from his wallet and handed them to the driver."I'll get off here," Tony said.The taxi driver stared at Tony in confusion. They were surrounded by dozens of dangerous-looking men, and his passenger wanted to get out. Was he out of his mind?"You stay in the car. I'll handle this," Tony continued."Don't worry. You and your car will be fine," he reassured.The driver looked even more bew
THE GREAT GENERAL You Shouldn't Attack A Dragon!
The Master was stunned. He never expected Tony to slip out of those handcuffs so easily.But it was only a fraction of a second. He quickly overcame his shock and pulled out his short sword with all his might."Shhh!" Tony hissed in pain.What the Master had just done made Tony’s palm get sliced. Blood was now dripping from it.The Master, still with a puzzled expression, straightened up. Blood dripped from the tip of his short sword in his right hand as well."You're not an ordinary person, are you? No wonder Val had a hard time dealing with you," the Master said.He was the best fighter in the Black Spider, the fastest and the strongest in close combat. Even though he had only used a quarter of his strength just now, the fact that Tony could deflect his attack showed he was quite tough.The Master now prepared himself for a more lethal strike. He would use up to half of his strength.Meanwhile, Tony began to stand, his eyes fixed on the Master, his right hand clutching his left wris
THE GREAT GENERAL Let Me Punish Him!
The Black Spider Mafia members in the room were stunned by what the Master had done. An aura of a killer emanated from his body. But why did he attack his own subordinate instead of Tony?The Boss himself was equally shocked. His pupils shrank. In his mind, he tried to process what the Master had just angrily said to him."I-I’m sorry, Master. I-I was wrong," the Boss finally said. After saying that, he coughed lightly; blood spilled from his mouth.The Master still glared at him. The veins in his neck were visible, as were those in his right hand that gripped the Boss’s shirt."Idiot!" the Master spat, snorting, then dropping the Boss.The Boss immediately fell to the ground, hunched over, and vomited more blood. His left hand clutched his back. When his back hit the wall earlier, he felt as if his spine had cracked."You're going to forgive him just like that?" Tony suddenly asked. He walked towards the Boss and the Master with a casual stride.The Black Spider Mafia members in the
THE GREAT GENERAL Enjoyed the Game
"What do you think you're looking at?! Turn around, quick!" Michelle snapped, covering her chest and crotch.Tony rolled his eyes, annoyed by Michelle’s insinuation that he had enjoyed what he had just seen.Reluctantly, he turned to face the doorway he had just entered. Michelle quickly grabbed her towel and wrapped it around herself again, then she glared at Tony suspiciously."Damn it! What the hell are you doing here, Tony? How did you get in? Who let you into my room?" Michelle demanded.From her tone, Tony could tell she was done covering up. He turned around and said, "You forgot? Starting today, I'm your bodyguard. Of course, I'll always be near you."Michelle glared at Tony, displeased. One hand clutched the knot in her towel, ready in case it slipped again."How did you get in? Do you have the access card?" Michelle asked.Tony raised his right hand, showing the card the head butler had given him earlier.Michelle stared at the card angrily. Her father hadn't told her about

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
