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.

"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

Harvey stepped into the dimly lit room. The cold air greeted him, bringing with it the damp scent of a place rarely touched by light. The only source of illumination came from a small vent in the wall, casting a faint light that cast long shadows on the floor.He stepped carefully, his shoes barely making a sound as they touched the slightly gritty floor. In the center of the room, Jordan's figure stood tall, his eyes fixed straight on Harvey. No exaggerated movements, no expressions that could be read easily-just a piercing gaze, as if the man had been waiting for him for a long time.Jordan straightened up, his face still tense as he looked at Harvey. "Mr. Harvey, you've arrived."Harvey stopped right in front of him. His sharp eyes immediately caught something wrong-Jordan looked agitated, lines of anxiety clearly drawn on his face. The man's breathing sounded heavy, as if he was holding something back."What's going on?" Harvey asked, his voice calm yet stressed.Jordan took a dee

Samantha looked down at her phone screen, and instantly a sweet smile spread across her lips. A message came in, making her eyes light up. Her fingers quickly pressed the screen, reading the content with her heart beating faster."He finally messaged me back!" she thought, her cheeks heating up without her realizing it.On the screen, Harvey's short reply was clearly displayed:"I'm coming there."Her heart raced. Harvey was going to meet her-at the coffee shop where she was waiting now. Samantha bites her lower lip, stifling the excitement that suddenly warms her in the cold air of the room.This will be their first meeting after a few days of no news. Samantha even thought that Harvey was avoiding her on purpose. Not only that, the more she tried to find out about him, the more cryptic he became.Javier - her confidant - has been mobilized to dig up information about Harvey. However, the results were nil. No records. No trace. It was as if the man was not part of this world. "Like a

Harvey lifted the perfume bottle, pressing the spray once. The subtle masculine scent spreads through the air, blending in with the silence of the room. The white suit he wore looked perfect on him, contrasting with the black shirt hidden underneath. A black-and-white striped tie hung neatly around his neck, a symbol of his belief-justice always has a firm boundary, like black and white that never mix.He smoothed his sleeves, his fingers gliding slowly along the fabric. His calm movements showed the habits of someone who was always prepared for the unexpected.Suddenly, the sound of the door opening broke the silence. Jordan stepped in, his shoulders squared as always. His gaze immediately fell on Harvey. "Mr. Harvey," he said briefly, but meaningfully.Harvey turned his head, his eyes meeting Jordan's who now stood tall in the doorway. The dark suit wrapped around his assistant's body looked neat, with almost no creases. In Jordan's grasp, a car key glints under the room lights. He

Stepping into the hall, Harvey raised one eyebrow. "What a party," he muttered softly.The high ceiling was decorated with crystal chandeliers that emitted golden light, making soft shadows dance along the walls. In the corners of the room, foot stands stood in a row, displaying sumptuous dishes with tantalizing aromas. In the center of the hall, a champagne fountain shimmered under the spotlight, golden bubbles rising to the surface before spilling in a graceful stream into sparkling crystal glasses.Classical music flowed softly, permeating the air like a whisper that enveloped the guests' conversations. They stood in small groups, laughing in low tones, raising their glasses in conversations only those familiar with this world could understand.Harvey swept his gaze around, his lips slightly bent to one side. This party was no mere celebration-it was an arena for those accustomed to playing in the shadows of power.A crowd of lavishly dressed guests filled the hall, but Harvey's ke

"Linda, get someone to follow that guy!" snapped Josh, his tone firm and sharp as a whip.Linda frowned. Her eyebrows dropped, her jaw tightened. "Josh, we don't have time for this-""Just do it!" he snapped, his eyes bulging, burning with unbearable tension.There was no more room for debate. Linda let out a quick breath, then quickly raised the communicator in her hand. Within seconds, the mercenaries Josh had previously hired received their orders and began to move.They sped off, following in the footsteps of Harvey and Jordan who had been spotted earlier. Their steps were quick, eyes wildly scanning the streets and alleyways.However, it didn't take long before confusion set in."Where did they go? Did anyone see them?""There's no trace of them to the north!" one of them shouted."It's empty here too! It's like... they just disappeared."The men looked at each other, their breathing ragged, the shadows of Harvey and Jordan already gone."We lost them," reported one of Josh's men

The shiny black car slowed down before coming to a smooth stop in front of the main conference center. The back door opened, and Josh stepped out confidently, wearing thin, gold-rimmed glasses-an accessory he had chosen not for sight, but for intellectual illusion.Behind him, Linda followed, holding a tablet and a folder of documents that she had memorized the contents of better than Josh himself.As soon as Josh appeared, a group of people immediately approached. Some pointed their cellphones at him, and some whispered to each other while pointing. Josh's face-which often appears in political satire videos-is well known in Kaelvarion.With a gesture that he was used to doing in front of the camera, Josh put on a big smile. He raised one hand in a half-wave like a true politician campaigning. "Oh, I'm sorry, guys," he said lightly, his voice rising an octave to be heard over the crowd. "I have to go in soon to meet the leaders of Kaelvarion. Stay tuned for updates from me... the late

The round lights around the mirror cast a warm glow on Josh's face. Behind the reflection of the vanity mirror, he sat up straight, wearing an ivory white shirt that looked as slick as if it had been ironed twice. His right hand is busy adjusting the folds of his dark blue tie, while his left hand holds his cell phone, which is constantly vibrating from social media notifications.A makeup artist stood at his side, applying a light powder to Josh's cheeks with a large brush. Her movements are quick yet careful, like painting on glass.Suddenly, high heels could be heard approaching. Linda-dark-skinned, wearing thin glasses, and always with a tablet in hand-stopped right behind Josh's chair."Josh, it's almost time," she said without taking her eyes off the tablet screen. Her tone was calm, but quick - the speech of someone used to being in control.Josh didn't respond immediately. He leaned forward slightly, straightened his tie once more, then grinned at the mirror. His gaze swept ov

Three hours on a plane was enough to make Neuron feel sore all over. He swung his arms back and forth, rotating his shoulder joints until a small crick sounded, then shook his head to relax the tense neck muscles. His face radiated a strange satisfaction, as if the fatigue was part of a routine he enjoyed.In stark contrast to the two men behind him-Harvey and Jordan-who walk leisurely but alert, blending in with the airport crowd through their simple clothing. Nothing flashy. Nothing suspicious. Harvey shoved his hands into his jacket pockets, his eyes sweeping the surroundings quickly and calmly.Neuron is just the opposite. He wore a wide-brimmed hat and large sunglasses-the style of a celebrity seeking attention, not hiding. His steps were light but confident, as if he knew he was noteworthy.They hadn't fully exited the terminal when a crowd of people with cameras and microphones began to approach.The flash lights turned on."Prof. Neuron!" A male journalist thrust a microphone

The cold light from the television cuts through the darkness of the room. Harvey's image was carved into the wall, still, barely moving. He was sitting back on the couch, but his body seemed too stiff for someone who was relaxing. The light from the screen bounces off his wide-open eyes, glued to the news that drones on like a whisper that won't stop.It wasn't entertainment he was looking for.His eyes were sharp, blinking occasionally, but more out of tiredness than comfort.Suddenly, a soft knock sounded on the door. Harvey turns his head. At first glance. Reflexively. As if the sound touched the deepest layers of his tension."Come in, Jordan," Harvey said without turning his head, his voice flat but sure.He knew it was Jordan. There was a distinctive vibration that traveled from the floor to the soles of his feet-an all-too-familiar energy rhythm. As subtle as the swish of the wind but strong enough to be recognized.The door creaked softly. Sure enough. Jordan appeared on the t

"What does that mean?" asked Vanessa, her eyebrows rising high, creating a fine frown on her forehead.Harvey didn't answer right away. His gaze fell on Vanessa's arm, probing yet calm. Although the long-sleeved shirt covered her skin, his eyes seemed to pierce through the layers of fabric-observing the invisible details.Harvey let out a smile that was so thin, it was almost imperceptible. "You have a lot of potential," he said calmly but confidently. His gaze remained locked on Vanessa's eyes, as if trying to convey something deeper than words.Vanessa swallowed. Her heart fluttered, not out of fear, but because she felt something new-recognition. Beneath the defensiveness and the wounds that had not fully healed, this man's words pierced her outer layers and touched a side that had long been buried: trust in herself.With slow, non-threatening steps, Harvey approached. His every movement was controlled, like someone who never rushed because he knew his own strength. "What you'll le

"You must be pretending to help me!" Vanessa stared at Harvey with piercing eyes, her breath catching. Even though she had just seen him take out her kidnappers with ease, she still did not lower her guard.Slowly, she backed away. Her movements faltered, her body was unsteady-her injured leg forced her steps to falter. But that didn't stop her.Her hand was raised, her fingers tightly gripping the pepper spray. When Harvey steps closer, she raises it, ready to spray him in the face.Harvey halts his steps. Letting out a long breath. "I'm just trying to help."Vanessa clucked her tongue, her jaw hardening. "Bullshit," she hissed, her eyes narrowed with suspicion. "You're going to take me away soon, aren't you? You're going to kidnap me and do bad things to me."Her hands trembled slightly, but the spray remained firmly in her grasp. Harvey just stared at her silently. Harvey only slightly furrowed his brow, understanding the panic that surrounded the woman.When his hand moved slightl

Harvey got up instantly, his chair squeaking as it was pushed back. He caught a glimpse of something at the far end of the room, but more than that, his instincts kicked in. Another crash, louder this time-something had happened.Then, a woman's body was thrown into the air. Time seemed to slow down as Harvey moved quickly, his hand outstretched, catching the figure before her body hit the floor. The pounding on his arm was strong, but he managed to hold the woman's weight.For a moment, Harvey stared at her face. Her long black hair was in disarray, her thin lips were slightly parted in pain, and the red dress she was wearing looked rumpled from the fight that had just taken place. Vanessa Reid.Harvey's eyes widened. “This woman... What happened to her?” he wondered.In his arms, Vanessa winced, her hands pressing shakily against her stomach. Her breathing was labored, but as soon as her eyes opened and she realized where they were, her expression instantly changed.“Let go!” her vo

The sound of high heels clashing with the marble floor echoed along the hallway leading to the women's bathroom. Vanessa strides gracefully, her red dress swaying slightly with her movements.Once inside the bathroom, she walked to the sink and opened the faucet, letting the cold water flow between her fingers. Her slender fingers moved slowly, washing her hands as if to erase something that was bothering her.In front of the large, gold-framed mirror, Vanessa lifted her face. Her eyes traced her reflection-checking the makeup that had lasted all night. Has it faded? Was it still perfect?She moved a little closer, adjusting the position of her earrings, making sure their sparkle remained visible from any angle. Her fingers trailed through her hair that was neatly cut in a butterfly cut, tucking it behind her ear to make the jewelry more visible.However, her movements suddenly stopped. For a moment, she stared at her reflection in silence. The figure of the man from earlier came back
