The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 135
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

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

"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

"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

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

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!"

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

“Finally, it's done.” Harvey smiled after putting some lettuce in the lunch box. The color combination of the fruit, lettuce, and some of the other foods was very nice to look at. This was enough to make Harvey feel happy. “Oh, I didn't expect it to be this good.”Harvey quickly closed the lunch. Then he got ready to drive her to the office where his wife worked. As he usually did.Harvey's wife worked in the city center, so he needed a scooter to reach the office. It was quite a journey that exhausted him due to the hot sun during the journey.Harvey arrived at a large building. Then he entered the building. However, the doorman there did not seem very friendly to Harvey.The doorman who was sitting reading a newspaper clicked his tongue when he glanced over. “You again. Just go in and finish your business! You don't need to fill out the visitor's book.”Harvey continued his journey to his wife's study. It was not only the doorman who looked down on Harvey, but also the people who w

Allison stepped into the control room of the military base on the border of Kaelvarion. The air inside the room was noticeably cooler than outside, mixing with the hum of machinery and the clicks of keyboards being pressed by operators.She sighed softly before walking to a bench near the main console. Her movements were decisive, without any hesitation. Once seated, her hands deftly placed a communication device in her ears, a high-tech headset that clung tightly to the side of her head.A man in a neat military uniform soon approached her. The look on his face reflected both confusion and concern. “Ms. Allison, why are you here? You shouldn’t be-”His words were cut off instantly. Allison simply raised one index finger, a small but stressful gesture. Her sharp eyes glanced at the man expressionlessly, enough to make him gulp. Instantly, she took a step back, almost reflexively, as if the air around her suddenly became heavier.Ignoring him again, Allison directed her attention to th

In a practice field on the border of Kaelvarion, the sound of a loud crash echoed out, mixed with heavy breathing. Boston's large body hit the ground with a loud thud, before quickly getting back up. Sweat dripped from his forehead, running along his temples, while his chest rose and fell rapidly.In front of him, Alex stood slightly hunched over, his hands resting on his knees as if exhausted. However, his eyes still blazed with enthusiasm, his lips bearing a faint smirk."Boston," he said, his voice sounding like someone who had just found an interesting challenge. "You're really hard to beat." He took a deep breath, then patted his thighs as if trying to soothe tired muscles. "I've been cornered a few times... You're great!"Boston's eyes narrowed slightly, considering Alex's expression. There was something in the way the young man spoke - as if the fatigue he was showing was just a trick.In fact, Alex's body remained dry, not a drop of sweat soaking his skin. Unlike Boston, whose
