THE GREAT GENERAL How Dare You Anger A War God!
The drone Jessica controlled hovered over Hans' residence.Moments ago, the lights in the house she was monitoring suddenly went out. This was clearly no coincidence. Jessica was certain the homeowner did it on purpose.And that meant one thing: the person knew they were being watched."But how did they know? How could they know?" Jessica muttered.From the outside, the house she was observing looked ordinary. No visible detection devices seemed to be scanning the area. Everything appeared perfectly normal.But that was surely an illusion. Whatever the stalker had done to his house, he did it cleverly and meticulously. Perhaps the suspicious activities would only become visible when Jessica conducted a close-up inspection.A while ago, that thought crossed Jessica's mind, and she tried to do that by lowering her drone bit by bit while zooming in on the screen capture.Jessica suspected that was when the homeowner realized they were being watched. The lights in the house went out short
THE GREAT GENERAL Turned to Attack David
"The war god, you say? You mean he is the legendary war god?" Hans asked.As someone well-versed in espionage and detective work, he knew a thing or two about the war god. He was a legendary soldier, respected and feared worldwide.It was absurd for Hans to have been spying on the movements of such a figure. Now he understood how lucky he had been. If he wanted, Tony could have ordered his soldiers to kill him earlier.The soldier didn't respond to Hans' confirmatory question. Silence fell again.Hans suddenly lost the urge to say anything more. The fact that he had disturbed the war god made his hands tremble. He hoped the punishment from the war god wouldn't be too severe.About half an hour later, the armored vehicle carrying Hans entered the military base of Karnaan City.The soldiers escorted Hans to a soundproof room with a one-way glass window. The cuffs binding his hands were removed, and he placed his hands on the table in front of him.A moment later, the door pushed inward,
THE GREAT GENERAL I Think I Know The Trigger
At Patrick's grand and luxurious residence...For the past half hour, Patrick had been pacing back and forth on the front porch, his face etched with worry. He was waiting for Tony's arrival.Finally, Tony appeared, stepping down from a rideshare motorcycle that had just stopped in front of the house.After removing his helmet and handing it back to the driver, Tony began to climb the stairs. Patrick watched him with a sense of impatience. Behind him, the head butler observed the situation with keen awareness.“Mr. Patrick, sorry I’m a bit late,” Tony said as he reached the last step.“It’s fine. Thank you for coming over this early,” Patrick replied.“How’s Michelle doing?”“Let’s go inside. We can talk while we walk.”Patrick led the way into the house, followed closely by Tony and the butler. Tony and the butler exchanged glances and nods. From the butler's demeanor, Tony sensed that whatever was happening this morning was quite serious.“What’s really going on, Mr. Patrick?” Tony
THE GREAT GENERAL One-on-One Duel
Kyllian shot Tony a strange look, lifting his chin slightly.In response, Tony shrugged. He wasn’t intimidated in the slightest, even though Kyllian was taller and had wrestler-like muscles.“Who are you? Get your hand off my shoulder,” Kyllian demanded.Tony shook his head. “Answer my question first,” he said.Kyllian narrowed his eyes. “I think you’ve got the wrong guy, dude. Just move your hand for your own good.”Tony shook his head again. “I’m not wrong. You’re Kyllian, the jerk who got Michelle pregnant and told her to get an abortion.”Kyllian’s expression changed abruptly. He hadn’t expected this stranger to say that.“Who are you? Michelle’s friend? Where is she now?” Kyllian asked, pushing Tony’s hand away.Tony could have resisted, but he didn’t. He let Kyllian brush his hand off.“You don’t need to know who I am. Besides, I asked first. You haven’t answered my question,” Tony said.Kyllian gave a sour smile, pulling his suitcase upright. If they were somewhere more seclude
THE GREAT GENERAL What Do You Want To Know?
Kyllian's body was flung far. He tumbled over and over before finally collapsing and coughing up blood. His eyes fluttered.Tony took a deep breath, clenching his fists. He straightened his back and walked toward Kyllian, who was still trying to regain his composure.“Can you answer my question now, or do I need to beat you some more?” Tony asked coldly.Kyllian forced himself to rise and looked at Tony. His chest felt like it was on fire. A moment later, he coughed up more blood.“I don't know who you are. I don't care what you do back in America. One thing's for sure, you're in my city now. I won't let you hurt anyone here, especially not a woman I know,” Tony said.Tony stopped walking when he was only a couple of meters away from Kyllian, seemingly giving him a chance to stand.And stand he did, wiping the blood from his lips and chin. His gaze at Tony was filled with rage.“Who are you? Are you Michelle's boyfriend now, huh?” Kyllian spat angrily.“Ha! You really don’t get it, do
THE GREAT GENERAL Michelle's Dark Past
Tony instinctively pulled his phone away from his ear. He knew without a doubt that it was Michelle who had just shouted at him.But why was it Michelle who answered his call? Was something wrong with Patrick?As Tony prepared to say something to Michelle, he realized the call had ended abruptly.All that remained was the constant beeping sound a few times. Tony clicked his tongue. He could call Patrick again, but it would be pointless if Michelle picked up again.At that moment, Tony was still at the airport, sitting behind the wheel of the car Patrick had lent him.He had just ensured that Kyllian had passed through the departure gate, flying back to his home country.Tony begrudgingly imagined Kyllian’s return ticket costing thirty percent more. He considered it a payment for the vital information Kyllian had provided him about Michelle's life while in the U.S.It turned out that during her studies in the States, Michelle had engaged in many dangerous activities that Patrick would
THE GREAT GENERAL Stop Your Lies!
"Michelle, what’s going on here?” Tony asked, shutting the door as he fixed his gaze on her. Despite the bullet that had clearly struck the wall, she seemed unfazed. It was Michelle who appeared tense, gripping the gun tightly with both hands. “Where’s my phone? Give it back!” Michelle shouted. “Michelle, what’s wrong with you? Why are you acting like this? Did I teach you to yell at someone who’s trying to help?” Patrick protested. “Shut up, Dad! You let Tony take my phone. That’s a mistake I won’t forgive!” she snapped. At that moment, Patrick was tied to a wooden chair near the bed. Earlier, when the head servant returned, Michelle had pointed the gun at him, demanding he tie up Patrick or she would shoot her father. She had taken the gun from the nightstand drawer, buried deep beneath a pile of papers. How she ended up with a gun hidden like that was a conversation for another time. “Where’s my phone, Tony? Hurry up and give it back!” Michelle barked again. Tony reached
THE GREAT GENERAL Shocking Decisions
Patrick was stunned by what Tony had just said. Quit being Michelle’s bodyguard? Just like that?“Tony, we can talk about this later. Things are really chaotic right now. It’s best we don’t make any decisions at the moment,” Patrick urged.Tony shook his head.“No, Mr. Patrick. This is the perfect moment for me to make this decision. Besides, Kyllian has already left the city. There’s nothing to worry about anymore, right?” Tony countered.Patrick wanted to argue, but he didn’t know what to say.Tony was right—now that Kyllian had returned to his homeland, Michelle wasn’t in any immediate danger. But Patrick still wanted Tony to continue being Michelle’s bodyguard for a while longer. He wanted Tony to help protect his daughter, especially when she wasn’t doing so well.And what if that man, Kyllian, came back? Who would protect Michelle then?Patrick was about to say something, but Tony spoke first.“And as for our business partnership, Mr. Patrick, it ends here too. I’ll be withdrawi

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
