The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 55
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

Emma is now sitting quietly on the sofa, which Harvey has lent her from the hotel staff. Her body drooped limply, her head resting on the pillow, as if the heavy burden of thoughts could no longer be borne. Her hands clasped her temples, trying to hold back the pain that came so deeply. The incident earlier was still very clear in her mind, shadowing every corner of her mind, leaving her with a raging fear.Harvey wasted no time. Quickly, he brought her to this room, instructing the hotel staff to give her a place to rest. An attack from a stalker would obviously be in the media spotlight, and Harvey decided to keep things under wraps. He told the hotel staff not to reveal anything about this incident, unless he got Emma's permission first. After all, Emma Wilson, an actress on the rise to fame, could not be allowed to become a distracting news item.Moments later, a bespectacled man entered the room with hurried steps. His face was filled with worry as he approached Emma. “Emma! Are

The gentle sea breeze hit Harvey's face as he stepped onto the upper deck of the yacht. The night was calm, accompanied only by the sound of the waves breaking against the hull. In the distance, the moonlight and ship lights created a sparkle on the surface of the swimming pool water, making it look like a liquid gem.Some passengers lounged on sun loungers, some with drinks in hand, enjoying the warm evening. Jazz music flowed softly from the nearby bar, mixing with the faint laughter of the guests chatting casually.Harvey scanned the surroundings before finally choosing a seat by the pool. As he sat down, a feeling of relaxation slowly crept over his body. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, letting his fingers play on the screen while enjoying the peaceful night atmosphere.Harvey leaned his back against the chair, the screen of his phone reflecting a soft light on his face. His eyes caught a news story with Emma Wilson's picture on it. The actress had landed a new movie p

The youngsters glared at Harvey. Their laughter soon turned to anger. Their faces turned red like iron on fire. Their blood seemed to rise to their heads and made their hearts pump rapidly.At that moment Ren violently pushed the table in front of him. Clanking sounds echoed in the room as glasses and plates fell to the floor. All the expensive-looking food and drinks were now discarded, becoming useless items.Slowly, Ren folded his arms across his chest. What Harvey did made him angry as well as the ego inside him rise. He looked at Harvey with his eyes wide open and the bottom of his eyes twitching several times.“You shrimp brains!” Ren snapped in a high tone. His words were sharp like a knife ready to shred. “How dare you mess with us. You ruined our food program!”Harevy slowly looked at the messy floor. The high-level food and drinks had been wasted due to his own actions, but he was accusing Harvey of doing it. What this young man did was like hitting a mirror because he could

Harvey was not fazed at all. He stood there quietly as the boys began to take their positions. Yugo himself was ready to press the button with his tilted cell phone.Ren and his friends grinned happily. It was as if their veins of fear of older people disappeared. Jin was even keeping an eye out between them so that the others wouldn't get involved with this incident.Ren folded his arms in front of his chest, he tilted his body and grunted with a smile. “We will humiliate you. People of your generation won't stand against the strength of a younger generation like me.”Harvey furrowed his brows as he nodded slowly. It was as if he was listening without absorbing it at all. The bluff they gave him didn't really hit home. Quietly, he glanced at the cell phone in Yugo's hand. “You might get into serious trouble if you act like this,” Harvey said in a flat tone. However, it was a warning to the five of them.Ren's eyes opened wide again. A look that implied burning hatred. “Trouble? You'r

“Hey! What's going on?” Yugo's voice was shrill, almost trembling. Cold sweat ran down the back of his neck, making his hair stand up. He swallowed, his eyes moving restlessly in all directions, as if searching for an explanation of what was happening. He shook the phone several times, even tapping it with his sweaty palms. His breathing was ragged, his chest rising and falling as fear crept into his mind. His eyes widened, staring at the screen that remained black as if refusing to turn back on. “Shit!” His heart was beating faster and faster. “Come on!” his voice almost broke, his fingers trembling as he pressed the power button again. “Why is my phone screen black?”Ren turned to his friend. His forehead wrinkled in astonishment that his friend was busy tapping the phone instead of recording the action. “What are you doing, Yugo? You have to record our live stream.”Yugo swallowed. His eyebrows furrowed with panic-stricken eyes. “I don't know, Ren. All of a sudden my phone went da

Ren grimaced angrily. His eyebrows were pinched, and the tips were arched upwards, giving a clear sign of his overflowing anger. His heartbeat sounds so loud, along with his uncontrollable emotions. He squirmed, trying to break free while raining wild punches down on Harvey. However, Harvey easily shrugged off the blows, as if they meant nothing.Ren felt the pain in his hands, as if he himself had been injured by his futile efforts. His breathing was getting labored, and a hoarse groan escaped from his throat. “Let me go, asshole!” he shouted, his tone echoing with hatred. “After the camera dies, you show your true face, old man! Do you want to hit us? We're not afraid! We'll hit you back in a more painful way!”Slowly, Harvey nodded calmly. He held his own chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips curved into a faint smile, as if he was pondering, trying to understand something deep. “Your energy and spirit are decent. Keep that up. It will be very useful on the battlefield,” h
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 59
“Good job, everyone! We're taking a twenty-minute break!” the director's loud voice echoed through the speakers. The man in sunglasses with a thick mustache stood with his arms folded, watching the set with confidence. He was working on a movie that, in his opinion, would be a big hit. What's more, the female lead role was being played by Emma Wilson, an actress at the peak of her career.Emma stepped up to the director, her trademark sweet smile flashing. “Mr. Jay, I need a new costume. I find this one a little distracting,” she said, showing off her arms. The tactical costume she was wearing felt too heavy, restricting the movement of her arms. “I'm afraid I won't be able to do the scene to its fullest if I keep wearing this.”Jay - the director - nodded in understanding. “I've prepared six costumes with different specifications. The costume team will bring them to you. Just choose the most comfortable one.”Emma's smile widened. She bowed her head respectfully. “Thank you, Mr. Jay.

"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
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
Chapter 144-2
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
