THE GREAT GENERAL Julius' Sacrifice
Lisa stood frozen, unable to comprehend how Tony had suddenly appeared behind her.And to her dismay, she found herself in a highly disadvantageous position.Tony had a tight grip on her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe."Do it now before it's too late," Tony whispered.Lisa felt as though she was witnessing her own death. She reluctantly dropped the pistol in her hand."Good girl," Tony remarked.At that moment, Julius, who had been knocked down by Tony, rose to his feet and stared at Tony, spitting on the ground.Julius took a deep breath, and as he exhaled, Tony could see a bright green aura emanating from his body.Julius appeared instantly stronger, and more dangerous.But Tony remained unfazed. After all, he was the one in control of the situation now."Lisa, didn't I ask you to back me up? What the hell are you doing there? You let him catch and control you?" Julius chided."I fucking did it, Julius. I shot him twice! Don’t you see it?" Lisa retorted.Tony smirked a
THE GREAT GENERAL Affair at the Restaurant?
In the evening, at a premium seafood restaurant in downtown Karnaan City."Come on, Esther. You haven't touched your food at all over there. Don't make me feed you forcibly.""I have no appetite, Claire. Just eat mine.""What? No way! You want me to gain weight again?""I told you this was a bad idea, Claire. I shouldn't have agreed to your request to go out so hastily. My mind is still a mess!""Ugh! You..."It was a conversation between two close friends, Esther and Claire. Claire deliberately took Esther to the seafood restaurant so Esther wouldn't continue to sink into her melancholy.For the past few days, Esther had been a mess. Her cheekbones were starting to show because she hardly ate anything. Her face looked dull.If Esther hadn't put on makeup before going to the Robertson Group headquarters, people there would surely notice that she was going through a serious problem.And what was that problem? Nothing other than her position as the threatened CEO of Robertson.At Tiffan
THE GREAT GENERAL So Unexpected
Hayley said it with a judgmental tone. Claire stood behind her, seemingly recording the scene with her phone camera.Josh and Hayley looked at them with surprise and confusion. Especially Josh, who even set down his fork and knife and stood up."Esther, what are you doing here?" Josh asked."It's me who should be asking you that. What are you doing here, Josh? Are you cheating with this woman to further your business?" Esther retorted.Josh's face turned crimson. He glanced briefly at Esther, worried that the CEO of PLS Group might be offended or hurt by Esther's words.Hayley, on the other hand, appeared uncomfortable. But so far, she seemed to be keeping her composure."Don't be ridiculous, Esther! Mrs. Hayley and I met purely to discuss business. There's nothing else going on," Josh replied."Do you think I believe that? Do you think I'm blind, Josh? I can clearly see what you two are up to. Just watch, I'll expose this to the whole family!" Esther threatened.Josh clenched his fis
THE GREAT GENERAL Being Humiliated (Again)
Esther never expected to see Tony in that restaurant.She wondered if the person picked up by Hayley, the CEO of PLS Group, was indeed Tony."I'm still waiting for your response, Aunt Esther," said Tony, folding his hands across his chest and smiling wryly at Esther.Esther found her hands trembling. Not out of fear, but because she knew she was in big trouble."Esther, are you okay?" whispered Claire, standing beside her and looking at her anxiously.Esther stared back at her friend with a tense expression, her lips slightly parted, making her look dazed."What's wrong? You're acting so strangely all of a sudden," Claire whispered again.Although Claire was her close friend, to whom she confided her problems, Esther hadn't told Claire anything about what exactly had happened between her and Tony.Claire knew nothing about Esther's secret agreement with Tony. Claire also knew nothing about Esther being saved by Tony from a sexual assault by the creepy witch doctor.For Esther, these t
THE GREAT GENERAL So, We Have A Deal?
"Who the fuck are you? Do I even know you? Have we met somewhere?" Esther's abrupt words cut through the air. Her voice slurred from the alcohol coursing through her veins.The man with the thin beard responded with a sneer, reaching into his leather jacket pocket to pull out a piece of paper, or a photo."Is this the guy who's got you so worked up you want him to be erased from this world?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.It turned out to be a photo indeed. And in that photo, a figure familiar to Esther and Claire was unmistakable: Tony."You... Who the fuck are you? What do you want?" Esther asked, eyeing the thinly-bearded man suspiciously.Claire leaned forward to get a better look at the figure in the photo.Wrinkles formed on her forehead as she, too, regarded the stranger with suspicion, mirroring Esther's distrust."Didn't I already tell you who I am? I'm someone skilled at disposing of and destroying people. Not just one person, actually. Several at once if need be. Depending
THE GREAT GENERAL Another Incident with Charlotte?
The next day, around eight o'clock.Tony had just parked his car in the basement parking area of the apartment complex.He stepped out of the car, closed the door, and walked towards the elevator.This apartment complex was where Tony's unit was located. But, he wasn't heading to his own unit.Inside the elevator, as the doors slowly closed, he pressed the button for the 12th floor.Charlotte's apartment unit was on that floor.Yes, indeed, Tony was about to meet Charlotte at her apartment unit.And just like the other day, this time his arrival was also for a business matter with her.But one thing was certain: Tony was no longer in a position where he had to follow Charlotte's wild game like before.The crucial deal had been made. He had Charlotte in his grip.His current purpose in meeting Charlotte was to ensure that she understood what she needed to say and do when facing Josh at the PLS Group office later.Ding!The elevator arrived at the 12th floor. The doors opened, and Tony
THE GREAT GENERAL Can't Wait To Do It
Charlotte stepped forward and pressed the 'open' button on the right side of the elevator door, but nothing happened.Not only did the door not open, but the buttons also seemed to be dysfunctional.And a moment later, the elevator lights went out.Charlotte quickly moved towards Tony, grabbing his arm tightly."What's going on? This has never happened before. Are we going to be okay?" Charlotte asked.Her voice trembled. It was clear she was panicked.And how about Tony?"Let me check," he said calmly.With Charlotte holding onto his right arm tightly, Tony walked towards where the buttons were.He relied on his instincts as a seasoned warrior who had been in life-and-death situations multiple times.After standing in front of the buttons, Tony took out his phone from his pocket, activated the flashlight mode, and used the light from his phone to help him see the numbers and letters on the buttons.Tony tried pressing the buttons, but the result remained the same.He tried pressing t
THE GREAT GENERAL Car Accident
Nightfall, around seven o'clock.Tony had just left the PLS Group office. His luxury car cruised calmly on the congested highway.Several times he had the opportunity to overtake the cars in front of him, but he chose not to.So far, everything was going smoothly according to his plan.This morning, unbeknownst to Josh, he had monitored a crucial meeting between his father-in-law and Charlotte, ensuring the historic business collaboration between Redsphire Co. and Leidenn Group was agreed upon.No issues. Charlotte kept her promise to Tony.Afterward, he and Charlotte had a brief meeting on the office rooftop during lunch.There, Tony discussed what had happened to them in the apartment earlier.Without expressing his suspicions about the elevator incident, he urged Charlotte to be cautious.Charlotte glanced at Tony with concern, but she seemed relieved when Tony said she could contact him if anything else happened to her in the apartment later.Tony said it more to reassure Charlott
