The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 124
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

Stan was silent for a moment. His eyes widened slightly before he quickly regained control of his expression. For a moment, the room was silent for both of them, but within seconds, a mocking smile returned to Stan's face. A small chuckle escaped his lips, light but full of condescension-the signature laugh of someone used to being at the social top. "That's impossible," he said with absolute conviction. He shook his head slowly, as if he was facing something ridiculous. His eyes glanced down, his lips slightly raised, as if he was holding back a laugh. "Really, I don't get it," she continues, before finally looking at Harvey again, this time with a sharper smile. "You have nothing to be ashamed of," he said, his voice sounding like a teacher counseling a lost student. "What you're saying is so far-fetched. There is no way such a thing could be real." His hands dropped from his chest, and with a casual gesture, he slipped one hand into his pants pocket. His frivolous smile beca

Hillary froze. Her breath catches in her throat as her eyes fixate on something on Harvey's chest. It was a brooch.It was no ordinary brooch-it had wings that opened proudly, and at its center was perched a gleaming black stone. Its smooth surface caught the light, reflecting it in an intense, almost mystical glow.Hillary swallowed. Her hands trembled slightly as she lifted it forward, as if to confirm that what she was seeing was not just an illusion."That's..." she whispered, her voice so low it was almost drowned out by the party music. "Dragon Tears? No way... How can this guy have them?"The sparkling black stone in the brooch seemed to swallow up the light, creating an intense, almost mystical reflection. Dragon Tears-the rarest stone in the world, something that should only be owned by a handful of people with absolute power.But now, it was perched on the chest of a man who they had earlier despised as a beggar.Hillary felt doubt nagging at her mind. Her hands clenched int

Erik stood at Julius Claymore's side, his eyes fixed on Harvey's figure. Unlike his two colleagues, Julius' expression was serious. A fine frown appeared on his forehead, indicating displeasure or perhaps surprise at this unexpected situation. Across from them, Harvey looked at Erik with an equally calm gaze. No tension could be seen from him, as if Erik's presence was just a meaningless coincidence. However, in his heart, Erik felt something else. He knew this man. Not as a beggar or an ordinary veteran, but as someone who had led a war. Erik gulped, he thought to himself, "Mr. Harvey?" Erik's mind was spinning fast. "Why is he in Duskvale? Why is he attending this party?" Harvey raised one finger in front of his lips, a subtle gesture that only Erik could catch. A wordless warning. Erik stiffened for a moment, his eyes still locked on Harvey. There was no mistaking it-he recognized the man. Although not part of the military directly, Erik Reinhart had made great contributions

It was as if fine needles were piercing Stan's head. Harvey's words were like thorns creeping into his head, igniting embers that instantly burned his emotions.His blood rushed up, warming his face to a boiling point. His jaw clenched tightly, while his eyes widened, full of disbelief mixed with anger. His brows were furrowed sharply, forming lines of tension on his forehead.With a rough movement, she turned her body to face Harvey. Chest rising and falling, his breathing sounded heavier. Stan's head snapped up, his gaze pressing, as if he was about to crush his interlocutor with just a glance. "Oh, your mouth really has no manners, huh." His voice was low, almost trembling, yet full of veiled threats.Hillary and Gwen simultaneously turned to face Harvey. Both of their hands were folded in front of their chests, fingers hardened against their arms, as if they were holding back an explosion of anger that was ready to burst out at any moment. Their faces were flushed, not from embarr

Stan smirked, his lips pulled to the side in an obvious look of disdain. His eyes narrowed, as if he was assessing Harvey like a poor man who had just dug his own grave."Mr. veteran," his voice was low, but full of piercing sarcasm. "Do you realize what you just did?"He raised his hand, his index finger hovering in the air before pointing at the crowd of guests who were still staring at them with various expressions-some dumbfounded, some stifling laughter, and some whispering softly, talking about Harvey like it was a joke too daring to believe."Look at them." Stan waved his arms in a theatrical gesture. "All eyes are on you now. You're deliberately embarrassing yourself just to get attention."Small chuckles could be heard from several corners of the room, although some of the guests were still too shocked to really react. Amidst it all, Harvey remained silent. His gaze was unmoving, cold as the surface of water untouched by the wind.Stan didn't stop there. He rested one hand on
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 130
The three froze in place, glancing at each other with expressions that were difficult to translate. Hillary bit her lip, as if to argue, but the words stuck in her throat. Stan growled softly, his chin raised a little higher, as if refusing to be humiliated. While Gwen, who was usually calmer, finally clicked her tongue.She let out a long breath, then crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her eyes flashed sarcastically as she looked at Erik. “We simply can't donate as much as 200 million dollars,” she said, her voice laden with skepticism. “But does Mr. Erik really believe that this veteran can keep his promise?”Erik responded calmly. He gave Harvey a quick glance, then flashed a faint smile-not a mocking smile, but the expression of someone who knew more than others.He knew Harvey. Not just as a soldier, but as someone who held a high position on the battlefield. However, even with all his knowledge, Erik still did not realize that the man before him was a God of War.More than
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 131-1
Stan, Hillary and Gwen were frozen in place. Their minds were spinning, trying to make sense of the reality that had just hit them mercilessly. Harvey. The man they'd been insulting and belittling. Not a beggar, not a loser, but someone who was able to donate 200 million dollars with a single touch on his phone screen.Gwen bit her lip, as if hoping this was all a misunderstanding. Hillary swallowed, her throat suddenly dry. Meanwhile, Stan, who was usually full of confidence, could only grin stiffly. Their foreheads furrowed, looking for a way out of this situation.Finally, Stan laughed softly-a forced laugh, more like a face-saving attempt. He glanced at Erik with hopeful eyes. “Forgive us, Mr. Erik,” he said, his voice softer than before. “We didn't really mean those things.”Hillary tried to smile, but her facial muscles tightened, making her expression look more like a stiff grin than a genuine smile. Her eyes glanced at Erik carefully, gauging his reaction. “Really, Mr. Erik Re

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
Harvey 148-1
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
