THE GREAT GENERAL Dangerous Threat
At Uriyaan Zoo, the only zoo in Karnaan City.It was nearly three in the afternoon. Tony had parked his car and purchased the entry ticket.Now, he walked towards the zoo gate, observing the people around.Lisa Westwood, the woman who claimed to be a freelance journalist, had said she would wait for him near the lion enclosure.Tony immediately sought out the enclosure upon entering the zoo.Once he figured out where to go, Tony pulled out his phone, checking for any messages from Lisa.There were no messages. He slipped his phone back into his pocket and was about to move forward when his radar sensed danger.Tony immediately looked around, his eyes squinting.'This feeling... it's familiar...' Tony thought.Back in the warzone, he often relied on his automatic defense system. His radar detected invisible incoming threats.More or less, that's what he felt now, and it wasn't something to take lightly.Usually, this feeling gripped him when the threat was serious.So, what exactly was
THE GREAT GENERAL Hole and Trap
Tony grabbed Lisa's shoulder, forcing her to duck.Moments later, a whizzing sound was followed by the shattering of a rock nearby."What the hell is that?" Lisa asked, her eyes wide."Let's move!" Tony said, dragging Lisa away from the lion enclosure.He knew that the recent gunshot would be followed by more. And indeed, it was.The whizzing noise sounded twice more as they ran while keeping their bodies low.No rocks were shattered this time, but Tony could see the bullets hitting the grassy ground.After running for a few seconds, Tony and Lisa reached a gazebo—a small circular resting place with concrete walls and wooden benches."Stay down! Hide yourself!" Tony urged Lisa.Lisa complied. They both hid inside the gazebo, backs against the wall, shielding themselves from the direction of the gunfire."What the hell is going on here?" Lisa asked."Sniper," Tony replied. "There's a sniper targeting us.""Huh? Sniper?""Yes. That's why you need to stay down. Even lifting your head sli
THE GREAT GENERAL Fast & Powerful
Julius stared ahead with a serious expression while his henchmen pounded Tony.Meanwhile, Lisa casually lit a cigarette. She appeared so relaxed, as if she had just completed an incredibly difficult and time-consuming mission.As expected, Lisa hadn't been entirely truthful in answering Tony's earlier questions.She was actually one of Julius's operatives tasked with locating Tony and luring him out.Julius's primary order to Lisa was to bring him to the Uriyaan Zoo and lead him to their current location.The Uriyaan Zoo had been purchased by Lombard two years ago. The hole and tunnel that Lisa and Tony had passed through were intentionally constructed by Julius's men for operations such as this."Rest in peace, Tony. This is what happens when you dare to disturb Lord Lombard," Lisa said, exhaling cigarette smoke into the air.She judged that Tony wouldn't be able to withstand the assault from Julius's henchmen. Besides being strong, they were also notorious for their ferocity.Indeed
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
