The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 50
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

Chris gawked as his forehead furrowed into a crease. Doubt seemed to hang in the air, making Chris freeze. A moment later he shook his head with a hesitant grin. "No, no, Uncle Chad. Uncle Chad must have made a mistake," Chris said, breathing heavily. His eyes glanced sharply at Harvey, narrowing his eyes slightly as he found this atmosphere quite strange. "There's no way Harvey is the one who helped you, right?" In that atmosphere, Harvey only smiled faintly. It was so thin that a mysterious air seemed to haunt the room. Harvey's presence seemed solid even though Chris didn't know what wall he was on. Chris' mind drifted to remembering that his uncle had once told him that his uncle had saved his life when he was robbed by an unknown person. The robber had a gun, and Chad almost lost his life. However, a young man came and helped Chad. The man beat the robber and then helped Chad. Chad felt he owed the man his life. He promised to always remember him and would help him if he ever

Chad clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His breath caught in his throat, and his eyes, which now seemed to tremble, looked at Chris as if trying to penetrate his mind. “You...” His voice broke, sounding hoarse as if he was holding back a lump of anger in his chest. “You destroyed all the bottles of Angel's Ale?”The room seemed to freeze. The noise from the bar faded away, leaving only the tension between them. Chris fell silent, his back stiffening like a wall about to collapse. He tried to find words, but his tongue was tongue-tied.“Answer!” Chad rebuked in a booming voice. The echo of his snarl swept through the bar, making everyone there hold their breath. His face, with its wrinkles of age, now radiated a disappointment that could not be hidden.Chris looked down, his gaze fixed on the floor sticky with spilled drinks. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if the burden hanging in
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 52
Although Chris's head was bent, his body was still rigid, as if he was holding back something he had yet to say. Chris's forehead wrinkled, a sign of suppressed resistance. For a moment, he opened his mouth, but only a mumble came out, “How can someone like that-” His words were cut short when a hand flew over and tapped him lightly on the back of the head.Chad stood up straight, eyes narrowed sharply at Chris. There was no need for words, his gaze was enough to convey searing anger. “Don't you dwell on something that will trouble you later!”Chris bowed his head deeper, his mouth tight, as if afraid to let the air out. His eyes were fixed on the floor, right in front of Harvey's feet. His heart pounded, his body trembled - something felt wrong, but he couldn't decipher it. His hands began to droop, dizziness spread slowly, making all thoughts locked in the darkness.Chad grunted as he looked at Harvey. His gaze became uncomfortable on Harvey, after all, Harvey should have gotten goo

In the evening, Harvey walked quietly after conducting business at a hotel together with Neuron. With sure steps he headed for the elevator to the parking lot.After pressing the button for the basement floor, he held his chin in thought for a moment. After he talked a lot with Neuron, it turned out that Neuron had not lost his genius even after a long separation with Harvey. His logical and sharp way of thinking made Harvey like him. Although sometimes he was manipulative for his own pleasure.The incident at Chad's bar wouldn't have been as suspenseful if Harvey had taken over, but Neuron's manipulation makes the incident more drama. And more surprisingly, the factor of him making Harvey's position strong in front of Chris without making Neuron suspicious.Harvey exhaled with a faint smile. “Psycho-”When Harvey said the word “psycho”, the elevator doors suddenly opened. In front of the elevator stood a woman with a frown. It seemed like she had heard something Harvey had said. With

Harvey raised one eyebrow slowly, a small movement that felt like a sharp warning. His lips formed a thin line, as if every word that would come out had to be chosen carefully. He stared at the woman with sharp piercing eyes, like a gust of cold wind hitting the skin. The air felt heavy, making the woman jerk back half a step.“Excuse me?” he said in a low but stressful tone, as if each syllable contained a hidden threat. “I don't know who you are and your words are too harsh.”Harvey turned his face away, his gaze falling on the flashing digital numbers near the elevator button. He stood straight, barely moving, with a flat expression that left no room for pleasantries. His breathing remained regular, as if whatever was happening around him was none of his business.“I don't have time to watch movies,” he said quietly, yet coldly, like a blade of ice against skin.On the other hand, Emma felt the nape of her neck crawl. Something about the man's voice made her heart beat faster than

“Killian, you're too slow!”Choi sighed loudly, glaring at his young companion who was hobbling around carrying a tool bag. His face looked impatient, one hand on his waist, while his head tilted to the side, staring at Killian as if the man had just made a fatal mistake. “Hurry up! The people in the elevator must be panicking!”Killian, a young technician who had only been on the job for ten days, broke into an awkward little trot. His breathing was slightly labored, and cold sweat began to break out on his temples. Arriving in front of Choi, he grinned hesitantly, his fingers scratching the back of his head. “Sorry, Mr. Choi. I went to the restroom first.”Choi closed his eyes for a moment, then let out a long breath like a tired parent dealing with a wayward child. With a resigned expression, he just shook his head lightly. “Never mind, hurry up! The elevator is on the fourth floor. If they panic, we'll get sprayed first.”The two of them broke into a small run towards the elevator

Harvey raised both eyebrows, looking at the woman before him with interest. Earlier, the woman had been rude to him, even accusing him baselessly. However, now there was something different in the look in her eyes. The apology sounded sincere.Harvey let silence fill the distance between them. His gaze fell on Emma's hands clenched tightly at her sides-as if summoning up great courage to do this.A faint smile lifted the corners of Harvey's lips. He nodded lightly. “No problem.”Without another word, Harvey turned around, stepping towards the stairs leading to the basement. His business in this hotel was done. However, after only a few steps, a trembling voice stopped him.“M-Mr...”Harvey turned around, finding Emma standing hesitantly, her lips trembling slightly.“Is... is it okay?” her voice was soft, almost drowned out in the small clink of the air conditioner running in the hallway. “I... accused you of a crime. You must be... hurt.”Harvey frowned, a subtle crease appearing bet

"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

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

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

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
