The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 111-2
Samantha was transfixed. Her eyes widened, her breathing labored as if the air around her had suddenly disappeared. Fear took over her face-it was like seeing something that shouldn't exist in this world.“You... monster! Don'tdare you to touch me!” her voice broke, almost a desperate cry.With all her might, she pushed Harvey's body away. The touch freed him from the man's grasp-but not for long. Her body was unsteady. Her legs felt like cotton, losing their strength just like that. Within seconds, she fell to the ground. Her face grew pale, her hands trembling violently.Harvey just stared at her. His steps came back closer, unhurried, full of intimidating calm. “You should have realized the situation,” he said flatly. “Look them.”Samantha swallowed, slowly looking around. The sight hit her like a tidal wave. The people who had threatened her earlier were now lying down. Motionless. Helpless.She looked back at Harvey. And her pupils shrank. He was the one who did it. Samantha's he

"Ignorant villain!" The voice exploded in the air, echoing between the surrounding buildings. The veins in the man's neck bulged, his face flushed, his breathing ragged.He stepped forward-his movements were firm, full of fury. His fists hardened, ready to strike anyone who got in the way. "You've gone too far, villain! Get your hands off Miss Samantha! Let her go!"Harvey only glanced at Samantha-the woman was still weak, her body unsteady. Harvey's gaze remains cold, almost emotionless. Then he turned back to the bodyguards without saying anything.However, that only made the bodyguards even more furious. "What are you looking at?! Let go of our Miss or we'll do it by force!"Simultaneous movements occurred-their hands slipped into their suits, their fingers reaching for something. A silent warning. Both pistol and dagger, they were ready to draw.Harvey released his grip. Samantha, whose body was already losing strength, simply fell down. Her knees hit the ground, and her body wave

Harvey stared at the man before him, his eyes unblinking. "You're their leader?" his voice was calm, but had a sharpness to it.The man who had been in the front immediately nodded. His shoulders were still tense, though he tried to maintain his dignity. "Yes, I am the leader of Miss Samantha's bodyguard squad."Silence hung between them. The room that had been filled with the sound of snapping was now so quiet that the roar of breathing could be clearly heard. The bodyguard leader, who usually stood tall and undaunted, felt something he could hardly describe. His chest felt tight, as if an invisible pressure was locking down his movements.Harvey took a slow breath. His gaze remained focused on the man, cold and unwavering. "Your men are strong enough," he said finally, his voice remaining flat. "But they are short-minded."The chairman swallowed. There was something in Harvey's eyes that made him reluctant to look back. The man's aura seemed to compress the air around him, creating

Harvey sat quietly, directly across from Samantha. Several chefs entered the room, carrying neatly arranged silver trays. The rich aroma of spices wafted through the air, mingling with the fragrance of steaming roasted meat.One by one, the dishes are placed on the table. The porcelain plates contained a variety of dishes, from Duskvale city specialties to authentic dishes from several provinces in Kaelvarion. The colors of the dishes tantalize the taste buds-the richly spiced soup, the perfectly cooked slices of meat, and the slowly melting buttery bread.Samantha gave Harvey a quick glance, then turned her head toward the food in front of her. Her lips curved slightly, but there was hesitation in her eyes. With a subtle gesture, she raised her hand, pointing towards the dish. "Please enjoy this meal, Mr. Harvey," she said, her voice sounding friendly, though there was a hint of tension lurking at the end of the tone.Harvey did not respond immediately. His brow furrowed, his eyes tr

Harvey froze. That name-Claymore-wasn't just an ordinary surname. His mind whirled, recalling the historical records he had read. The Claymore family had long been a part of Kaelvarion, so closely knit that their names were recorded as heroes in the history of this land. From generation to generation, they maintained the family traditions passed down, keeping their influence strong.One of the members of the third most illustrious family in the country sat right in front of him. Unconsciously, Harvey's fingers gripped his thighs, feeling the tension running through his body. “Samantha Claymore...,” he whispered, his voice almost drowning in shock.His gaze remained fixed on the woman in front of him, as if trying to reconcile reality with what he had just heard. The room's light cast a soft glow on Samantha's curly hair, highlighting the firm lines of her face. Her lips were slightly thick, as if always ready to speak well-thought-out words. There was something in the look in her eyes

Javier stepped quickly to Samantha's side, almost knocking her chair over in his panic. His hands gripped her shoulders tightly. "Miss! What's going on? Miss Samantha!"Samantha opened her eyes wide, her breath catching. Her face was as pale as a piece of paper. With slow movements, she turned her head towards Javier. "Jav... I-"Her words were cut off. Instantly, the pain in her head hit harder, like a wave that came crashing down. His jaw clenched tightly, his fingers gripping the sides of his head as if to hold back something churning inside. "Arrgh! My head!"Her body swayed. Her knees went weak. The world around her spun so fast that the line between light and darkness began to blur.Javier moved swiftly, holding her up before she fell. Samantha staggered in her arms, her breathing ragged. Her vision blurred - flecks of light glowed in her eyes, flashing like fireflies dancing in the darkness. The longer it went on, the dimmer it became, until finally everything almost disappeare

Dark blood flowed from Samantha's lips, staining the cloth on her lap. The deep black color was striking, contrasting with the white of her clothes.Javier immediately moved, his steps quickening towards Samantha. But before he could get any closer, a strong hand caught his arm. "Don't," Harvey's voice was low, but full of authority.Javier turned his head sharply, his jaw clenched tightly. "Get out of the way! Miss Samantha is in danger again!" he cried, his breathing ragged.Harvey, however, remained where he was. His shoulders were squared, his eyes calm. "It's a normal reaction," he said without a hint of panic.Samantha opened her eyes wider, her breathing still labored, but something felt different. Her brow furrowed as she turned her head towards Harvey and Javier."Strange... The feeling in my belly button... is drastically reduced," her voice was hoarse, but the tone of surprise was clear.Javier, who was still on standby, looked doubtful. His eyes alternated between Samantha
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 117
Samantha's hanging answer made Harvey squint. There was something behind those words-doubt, or perhaps fear that still lingered in her mind. Harvey didn't press her further, just observed her expression calmly.He let out a long breath, letting the silence settle in for a moment. "Be careful next time."His tone remained even, but there was an implied warning in it. Samantha looked at him, as if she wanted to say something, but ended up just nodding slowly. The relief of being safe from danger was mixed with the anxiety that still left traces on her face."I take my leave, Miss Samantha Claymore," Harvey said with a slight bow of his head. The gesture was simple, but it still exuded authority. Without waiting for a reply, he turns around, his steps steady as he leaves the restaurant. The business is done-the perpetrator has been caught, and Samantha is safe.However, Samantha does not immediately breathe a sigh of relief. Instead, as Harvey walks away, her chest feels even more tight.

The four men on the roof glanced at each other, their expressions tense. Foreheads furrowed, jaws hardened. Harvey's figure standing below-with blood dripping from his sides and an expressionless face-sent a warning louder than a shout.One of them clenched a fist, trying to subdue the subtle trembling in the fingertips. "Don't let your guard down," he hissed. "The wound is severe, but the body..." He swallowed. "Not the body of an ordinary person."The other three nodded slowly. Doubt crept in behind their heavy breathing. But there was no turning back. Not now.They knew: stepping down meant battle. But staying up meant more than cowardice-it meant failing the mission.They hadn't expected to encounter someone like Harvey.One of them - with short hair and a tattooed jaw - grinned faintly. A smile that was more like a nervous twitch. "Do you remember what happened a few weeks ago?" he whispered hoarsely. "The one that tried to get close to Miss Vanessa. His fingers were crushed... e
Harvey 150-1
"This situation is quite familiar, isn't it?" Harvey glanced briefly at Vanessa, his eyes remaining alert at the threat before them. His calm voice implied something-a reminder of a not-so-distant past.Vanessa frowned, her eyebrows rising slightly, a puzzled expression on her beautiful face. "Familiar?" she asked in an innocent tone, as if trying to ignore the reality that was beginning to catch up with them.Harvey moved one foot forward, his body slightly lowered into a defensive position, ready for the worst. His breathing was still regular, but his shoulders were tense."Why are they after you? It is also happened in the first time we met," he asked without taking his eyes off the big men across the street.Quietly, Vanessa shook her head. Her smile was faint, but her eyes did not share it. "A lot of people are after me, Harvey. The entertainment world is full of fanatics." She took a quick breath. "I thought... they were just one of them."But Harvey could catch the faintest not

“What do you think I am, Harvey?” says Vanessa as she bends one leg lightly, one hand perched casually on her waist. Her smile is curved, confident, like someone who knows all the attention is always on her. “I'm a movie star and host at Kaelvarion.”Harvey frowned. From the way Vanessa straightened her body, chin slightly raised, and shoulders unmoving under people's gazes, she didn't need to be given a stage to shine.“Yes?” he replied softly, half astonished, half amazed.Vanessa cast a quick glance at the clothing store behind them. Behind the glass display cases, the customers were pretending to be busy choosing clothes, but their eyes kept stealing glances, as if they didn't want to miss a second of the drama happening outside.Vanessa's eyes narrowed, her gaze now frozen. The warmth that had enveloped her voice earlier disappeared, replaced by a piercing cold like an uninvited winter wind. “It's not the first time or twice I've met someone who can stab me in the back,” she sai

"I-I..." Susan's voice was hoarse. "Mr. Fred... I didn't mean-"Before she could finish her sentence, Vanessa's voice cut in. Cold. Firm. "Your salesgirl made a fatal mistake."The words were spoken without raising her voice, but each syllable echoed like the clink of a hammer in the suddenly silent room. The people around held their breath, the atmosphere tense. Fred turned to Susan, then back to Vanessa - her face had paled, as if she knew a big storm was about to hit her shop.The manager's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. "I'm sorry, what exactly happened, Miss Vanessa?" his voice was low, almost trembling.Vanessa didn't answer immediately. She lifted the cell phone in her hand slowly - the movement alone was enough to shake things up. The screen faced Fred, displaying a row of secretly snapped photos. Vanessa's gaze was piercing, sharp like cracked glass about to shatter."Your salesgirl is playing the role of paparazzi in this shop," she said cold

Vanessa furrowed her brows. "Photos?" she asked quietly, but her tone was stressed.She turns quickly to Harvey, searching for an explanation with her eyes. But Harvey remains calm, like a stone statue who knows the storm is coming - and he's ready for it.Harvey's gaze never leaves Susan. His eyes are sharp and frozen, like an eagle that has locked onto its prey. His cold aura made the air around them feel tense.Susan, who had been so loud, now seemed to lose her breath. Her throat moved up and down as she gulped. The hand holding her cell phone began to sweat. Her fingers trembled slightly, trying to keep herself from panicking.Vanessa leered at her. "What do you mean about photos?" This time her tone was darker, almost a warning tone.Susan fell silent. Her lips parted, but no sound came out. Her eyes moved nervously, looking for an excuse, an opening to escape, or even just air."Don't pretend to know nothing," Harvey's voice was quiet but firm, still without looking away. "You
Chapter 147
The tip of Harvey's smile was still hanging on his face when Susan's gaze changed - just for a moment, before settling back down. But for Harvey, who was used to reading gestures like an open book, that was enough. He saw how Susan's shoulders tensed slightly, and her fingers gripped the end of the cell phone too tightly."What do you mean, sir?" asked Susan in a sweet voice that was no longer as elegant as before. Her eyeballs were piercing, trying to find an opening, confirming whether Harvey really knew... or was just guessing.Harvey just stared at the clothes on the hanger, his fingers gently touching the fabric, as if he didn't care. "Only people with bad intentions disguise themselves as walls," he muttered softly. "And only cunning people need proof of stealth."He turned around slowly, finally facing her directly. Her eyes were calm, but they contained something that made the air between them harden-like the air before a heavy rain.Susan tried to chuckle, but it sounded dry.

"Mr. Harvey-" Vanessa turned her head with a bright smile, like a morning glow through the fog. However, her steps were halted when Harvey raised one hand, palm facing his chest.His smile was thin, barely visible, but enough to show his typical cold manners. "Call me Harvey," he said calmly. His voice was soft, but firm, like the tone of a man who had long been accustomed to formality, but never really enjoyed it."After all, you are a big star, Ms. Vanessa. It would be strange if you were the one to call me 'Mr.'."Vanessa frowned, sweet but amused. Her hands folded lightly on her chest, one of her fingers rose, tapping lightly on the corner of her pink lips. Her gaze seemed to be considering something."Hmmm... Then," she said as she tilted her head slightly to the right, "We agree not to use formal language. Agreed?"Her eyes looked at Harvey like she was challenging, but more playfully than seriously. The atmosphere becomes a little warmer - as if two polar opposites are trying t

Harvey stepped out of the apartment, letting the afternoon light greet his face. Rainvale's air smells of warm asphalt and coffee from the small shops lining the sidewalks. The sky casts an orange tinge onto the windows of the tall buildings, creating a glaring yet beautiful reflection.The quick steps of people crowded around him-uniformed clerks, young men with sling bags, couriers with helmets still on their heads. No one notices Harvey. And Harvey has no intention of revealing himself.He walks slowly, letting the heels of his shoes make light contact with the surface of the busy street. His eyes traced the passing faces-focused eyes, deft hands holding a document, a cell phone, or a hot cup of coffee.Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on his lips. "They don't waste time," he murmured softly, almost as if talking to her own reflection. "Just like us... on the battlefield."Harvey's steps led him to the city's shopping center-a district of tall, glass-fronted buildings, storefr

Harvey tilted his head slightly, like an eagle assessing its prey from a distance. His gaze is sharp, yet his face remains calm, almost lifeless. He didn't speak, just let the silence bind Jacob tighter.Jacob's small movements didn't go unnoticed-the way the man crossed his fingers near his knees, the way his breath faltered before coming out slowly. The pressure was real."Tell me," Harvey said softly, almost a gentle command that left no room for refusal.Jacob lowered his head slightly, as if summoning courage from the remnants of his breath. "We found... something," he said quietly. "A strange signal. Very alien. The source is from the border-we think it's Jorania."Harvey let out a long breath, then slowly leaned back against the couch. His movements were calm, but there was a faint note of boredom at the edge of his voice. "After Daso tried to play with fire by infiltrating spies, now it's Jorania's turn to stir up trouble."Jacob turned his head quickly, as if jolted by a fact
