The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 43
Many people were holding their heads, as if they were going to explode. Deep frustration floats in the air. It haunted the young people who were trying to figure out how to solve the mystery of the problem in front of them.This place became crowded because the problem that had been on the big whiteboard for half a year was being discussed again. What's more, there was a group of people who could have been the creators of the problem there, nudging the egos of the university thinkers.“Ah! I don't understand! It's a physics problem, right? I've never encountered anything this difficult!” complained a student with slightly messy hair. I don't know if he's imitating Einstein's style or if he's just lazy about taking care of his hair, but the complaints coming out of his mouth make him look less intelligent.A man wearing glasses hit the Einstein-haired person on the head. He let out a long breath while shaking his head. “It's math, you idiot!”The Einstein-haired man grimaced, his face
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 44
The audience began to whisper, their voices low but intense. Their eyes narrowed, looking at Harvey and the man with glasses with a sharp gaze filled with suspicion. It was as if there was a silent conversation that summed up the ugly accusations against the two. Some even pointed subtly, while others simply glanced at each other with prejudiced expressions.The air around them felt heavy, as if tension hung over them like a dark cloud. Harvey could feel the gaze on his skin, cold and piercing. However, his face remained calm, not giving the slightest chance for them to read his mind.“That's right... they can work together,” muttered someone in the audience, his voice filled with a suspicious tone.“Of course it's no coincidence! They must have designed everything to finish at the same time!” another voice chimed in, louder this time.“Just think, they could double the prizes! How sneaky!” the exclamation was met by nods and a small commotion that spread quickly through the bleachers

Neuron tilted his head, his eyebrows slightly raised, while the corners of his lips curled downward. His eyes were sharp, tracing Harvey's face, searching for an unspoken answer. “So, you're back in the military?” he said, his tone cold, without the slightest trace of respect. A small frown appeared on his forehead, and his eyes narrowed, as if trying to penetrate Harvey's layers of secrets. The air between them felt heavy, as if the question was more like an accusation hanging in the air.Harvey slowly shakes his head, his movements steady, without any hesitation. “No,” he said in a low tone, yet full of certainty. “I just want to enjoy the quiet.”He looked up, letting his eyes linger on the vast blue sky. There, the clouds moved slowly, as if erasing the gloomy shadows of the past. A gentle breeze swept across his face, bringing a peaceful scent that was so foreign to him. In the past, a sky like this was just a decoration that he didn't have time to notice amidst the roar of order
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 46
“Oh...” muttered Neuron, his voice barely audible amongst the low buzz of the bar. His eyes were glued to the woman's figure, not blinking as if afraid of missing the slightest detail. The woman was so alluring-an elegant dress that fit perfectly on her body, wavy blonde hair that fell perfectly on her shoulders, shimmering under the dim bar lights.A faint smile played across Neuron's lips, his expression hard to guess, like someone hiding a joke behind his face. Slowly, he leaned closer to Harvey, his breath almost touching his friend's ear. “Look, there's a beautiful woman greeting you,” he whispered softly, in a teasing tone. “You need to move on quickly. She's obviously interested in you, I can see it in the way she looks.”Harvey remained silent, not giving the slightest response to Neuron's words. It was as if the words were just wind passing by without meaning. Calmly, he raised his glass, swirled the contents slightly, then took a slow sip of Warrior's Blood. The scent of che

Neuron furrowed his brow, his eyes narrowed as if trying to understand the situation. He leaned closer, until his voice was just audible to Harvey. “Is this what you call a quiet life?” he whispered, with a sharp sarcastic tone. “It's more like a bullying stage.”Harvey didn't answer immediately. He just sipped his drink calmly, as if nothing could shake his mood. Finally, he brought his face a little closer, his voice low but firm. “I don't like being conspicuous.”That answer left Neuron speechless for a moment, staring at Harvey like someone who had just heard an unsolvable riddle. He pulled his face back, his brow furrowing further. Neuron just let out a long breath, his sigh sounding like someone giving up in the face of chaos. “Suit yourself,” he muttered as he leaned back in the chair, choosing not to engage further.Vania's loud laughter broke the atmosphere, her tone full of mockery. Without warning, she picked up the bottle of Warrior's Blood that was on the table, then del

With slow but firm movements, Harvey glanced at Vania who was still holding up her smartphone. He took a good look at it, as it was still recording this incident. She was literally waiting for Harvey to drop his face at her feet.Harvey then raised his hand casually, then turned to the bartender. His gaze was relaxed and confident. As if nothing could stop him. “Bartender, bring us three bottles of the most expensive drink,” Harvey said casually.Vania's eyes widened, her blood seemed to rise and stop in her neck. Her breathing became labored as if the air was stifling her. She gulped down her saliva. “You're crazy, aren't you? What were you thinking? You even ordered three bottles of that drink! Chris, he's not using his brain properly. Now do you know why Whitley doesn't like this guy? Because he does not have brain at all!”Chris slammed his hand on the table, he glared at Harvey as he gulped. “Hey! Didn't you hear me? The price is seven million dollars. Not seven dollars! Use your
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 49
Vania jerked back, her body almost losing its balance as a loud noise pierced the air, accompanied by broken glass bottles scattering around her feet. Her scream was shrill, breaking the silence. The acrid smell of wine wafted over her, mixing with the panic that suddenly overcame her.Her eyes widened at the sight of the red puddle spilling out on the floor, mixing with the shimmering glass. Chris' body drooped on the floor, his face grimacing in pain as he held the side of his body that was probably injured.Vania's heart was racing, as if it wanted to jump out of her chest. Without thinking, she crouched down beside Chris, her hands shaking as she tried to pull him to his feet. “Chris! Are you okay?” her voice trembled, anxiety mixed with fear.Chris's eyes were glued to the four bottles shattered to pieces on the floor, a pool of luxurious crimson liquid spreading like an unforgivable sin stain. The figure of 35 million dollars instantly flashed through his mind, making his head f

Vania's scream echoed, breaking the atmosphere of the bar. Her face was instantly pale, as if her blood had receded to her feet. She staggered backwards, her hands tightly clutching her small bag, while her eyes alternately glanced at Harvey and Chris. Occasionally, she closed her eyes as if she couldn't see what was in front of her.Chris writhed on the floor, his body trembling from the pain radiating from the hand that was now bent at an unnatural angle. His breathing was short, and his face was flushed, not with anger anymore, but the pain that pierced every nerve. She tried to sit up, but her head throbbed violently, making her world spin.Trembling, Vania raised her hand, pointing at Harvey who had just stood up in a cold manner. Tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes, but not from sadness-more from fear mixed with anger. “Y-you! You bastard!” her voice trembled at first before screeching with emotion. “You bastard! What the hell are you doing? You've made a big mista

"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
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
