The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 113-2
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

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.

"No way...," Samantha said, opening her eyes wide when she saw her cell phone.She hurriedly opened the tablet and checked the email Harvey had just sent her. There was a link that led to a collection of files and photos. When she opened the photos, her eyes widened, unable to blink.The veins in Samantha's neck popped. "That asshole..."Samantha placed the tablet on the table with a sharp movement. Her fingers clenched on the wooden surface, her breathing heavy and ragged. Her gaze was blank, but in her head, the images continued to spin endlessly.The throbbing in her temples grew more pronounced. His chest rose and fell, trying to control the rage that was beginning to burn inside him."My own cousin..." she murmured in a low, trembling voice. "It was her who betrayed me."Her fingers gripped the chair's handle tightly, as if trying to find a grip amidst the wave of emotions that hit her.Everything was clear now. Her cousin had teamed up with the enemy to get rid of her. All for t

Samantha sat on the edge of the bed, her back slightly bent, while her fingers tapped on the surface of her phone. The light of the screen cast faint shadows on her tired eyes, showing a row of messages that were still delivered, but not read.She took a deep breath, then rubbed her forehead. Her jaw clenched, and her shoulders trembled slightly as he exhaled slowly. "Really...,"s he muttered, her voice almost drowned out by the monotonous ticking of the clock on the wall.It had been a day since Willis was expelled from the Claymore family, but her head was still full of turmoil. The image of Gerard's angry face, Willis's hateful gaze, and the sound of the bodyguard's heavy steps dragging her cousin out kept spinning in her mind.However, the most disturbing thing wasn't that-it was her cell phone that remained silent. There was no reply from Harvey. Not a single one. Not even a read alert. Her lips pursed, her fingers gripping the phone tightly. Was Harvey really ignoring her? Or di

Samantha and Teressa looked back, and their faces hardened as soon as they saw who was standing there. Janeeta.The woman stood with her arms folded across her chest, her demeanor exuding a distinctive arrogance. A faint, dismissive smile was etched on her lips, as if savoring the moment where she could put others down. Her piercing brown eyes swept Samantha up and down before finally settling on the still-open phone screen.Samantha and Teressa glanced at each other, then chose to ignore her. However, Janeeta didn't give up that easily.She tilted her head slightly, her lips curling even more slyly. "I really don't get it," she said, her tone one of astonishment, when there was clearly mockery hidden within. "How can you like a guy like this, Samantha?"The atmosphere around them suddenly felt heavier. Samantha clenched her fists under the table, trying to dampen the waves of emotion that were beginning to emerge. Teressa, on the other hand, was ready to open her mouth, but refrained

"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
Chapter 145-2
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
Chapter 144-2
Harvey and Jordan stepped into a large room that was dimly lit and luxuriously appointed. The atmosphere was quiet, yet it felt as if important conversations were hanging in the air.Jacob walked ahead of them, then turned around and gestured toward a soft, darkly upholstered sofa. "Have a seat," he said, gesturing to the spot.Without waiting long, he turned to a long-haired woman standing not far from the small table. "Claire, please prepare drinks for our guests. And make sure no one disturbs them. Lock the door after this."Claire smiled gently and nodded politely. The heels of her shoes tapped on the wooden floor as she walked away. However, before actually walking away, her eyes caught a glimpse of Harvey. It was only an instant-but in that brief glance, her brows tightened slightly.For some reason, there was something about the man that made the air around him seem to change. The cold yet sharp aura emanating from Harvey made Claire hold her breath for a split second, as if he

Josh clenched his jaw. His jaw was hard as stone, showing just how strong he was to hold back the embers burning in his chest. Jacob's cold words felt like a public slap-sharp, cold, and humiliating.She was silent. Her eyes narrowed, glancing briefly at Jacob, as if trying to find an opening to fight back... but finding none. Her face flushed slowly, not from embarrassment, but from anger that was about to spill out. The muscles in her hands tightened, and her chin lifted slightly, a sign of an ego that refused to be hurt.However, his mind was still sane. This was not the place to act rashly. Jacob was no ordinary person-he was a major figure in Kaelvarion. Messing up in front of him was tantamount to social suicide.Josh pressed his lips together. He took a long, deep breath, until his chest rose and fell slowly. He exhaled slowly, as if he wanted to expel the boiling embers from within him. His heartbeat was still fast, but he forced it to slow down. This was not the time. Not yet

"Wait," Josh muttered. His forehead furrowed deeply, realizing something wasn't right. Jacob's gesture just now-pushing him aside-was not a welcome, but a subtle rejection. But it's clear enough to Josh. His eyes immediately turned to Harvey who was still calmly standing a few steps away from him. Josh's gaze became sharp and piercing, as if he wanted to pierce the man's face and seek answers. Inside his mind, thousands of words rushed into chaos. "What the hell is this? I came here with a big name, with an audience of millions! I'm the most influential political interviewer on social media. All the leaders know who I am!" "And now? A strange man is standing there-not known, not viral-but Jacob goes to him first?" Josh snorted. His mind struggled. "No, no, no. This must be a mistake. There can't be anyone more famous than me. There can't be anyone more important." Harvey took a quick glance, then returned to staring straight ahead. To Harvey, the man didn't deserve any more a
