The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 79
Garry and his friends exchanged glances, their brows furrowed at Lois' statement.Garry grinned, then casually put his hands in his pants pockets. He looked up slightly, as if to show his superiority. In a tone full of mockery, he gave a small chuckle before speaking, “You claim to own this place?”He clicked his tongue, his grin widening. “I thought you still had a bit of sanity. But apparently, you're also hallucinating like Harvey.” Garry chuckled dismissively. “No wonder he's such a loser.”His gaze shifted to Harvey, who remained seated calmly, not showing the slightest sign of being disturbed. The man's nonchalant attitude made Garry's anger flare up even more. The more he ignored him, the more he wanted to humiliate him.Lois looked at Garry with a flat expression, but there was firmness behind his eyes. He couldn't believe it - he had openly said he owned this place, yet he was still considered to be hallucinating. More than that, the haughty man in front of him dared to insul

Lois stepped closer, his gesture a little stiff. His sharp eyes that were usually full of confidence now radiated anxiety. With one breath, he reached out to Harvey.Cold sweat began to seep down his temples. “Mr. Harvey...” His voice sounded quieter than usual, almost trembling. “I... I apologize for the inconvenience.”He swallowed, then smiled faintly, though there was clearly some nervousness there. “I really didn't expect you to be here so early.” Lois gave a small chuckle, trying to relax his tension. “I thought I was fast enough, but it turns out you arrived first.”His eyes traced Harvey's expression, looking for signs of whether he was angry or remaining his usual calm self.Harvey only shifted slightly in his seat, his movements calm and controlled. His eyes looked directly into Lois', unhurried, but deep enough to make the man in front of him hold his breath for a moment.“Forget about it,” he said softly, his voice steady without a hint of anger. His lips curved slightly.

Harvey raised one eyebrow, his eyes narrowed, trying to understand the situation. The woman's face in front of him looked pale, her panic clearly reflected in the way she squeezed the hem of her skirt. Her lower lip was slightly bitten, while her gaze was restless, reluctant to meet Harvey's eyes directly.A small sigh escaped her lips. As if gathering courage, she slowly glanced at Harvey. “I'm sorry, sir...” her voice sounded hesitant, almost a whisper. “I... accidentally bumped into your car.”Her eyes lowered again, her body tensed slightly, waiting for Harvey's reaction. Confusion was evident in her eyes.Harvey sighed softly before tilting his head, his eyes tracing the back of his car. The parking lot lights reflected off the now slightly dented body surface, faint scuff lines visible around the impact. It wasn't anything severe.He turned his gaze back to the woman in front of him. Harvey's gaze remained calm, as if the damage was no big deal. His lips curled slightly before h

Rebecca was getting more and more frantic. Her hands gripped the steering wheel rigidly, while her foot kept pressing the brake pedal - repeatedly - to no avail. The car kept going, faster and faster, swooping sharply down the steep descent.Her heart was pounding so hard it could be felt in her ears. Her eyes searched wildly for a solution, but everything seemed impossible.“No... No!” her voice trembled, almost choking on her own breath.Ahead, a sharp bend was approaching. The car's headlights shone down on the knee-high road divider, beyond which yawned a chasm blackened in the night.Rebecca tried to turn the steering wheel to the left, hoping to reduce speed by slipping into the next lane, but the car just swerved slightly. The rear tires almost lost traction.A chill ran through her body, like ice creeping along her spine. Time seemed to slow down, every second going by so slowly as the distance to the corner dwindled.“I have to... have to do something!” Her breathing was ragg

The roar of the engine split the silence. In an instant, a black Mercedes hurtled towards them and stopped with perfect precision in front of Harvey and Rebecca.Rebecca blinked. “Another luxury car?” Even under these circumstances, Rebecca was still surprised to see such an expensive vehicle.The door opened from the inside. A well-built man, dressed in a neat black suit, came out with steady steps. His eyes widened when he saw Harvey, then his expression quickly turned stiff.“Gen-” His words trailed off, his breathing slightly labored. At first glance, her face looked tense, as if she was about to say something she shouldn't.Harvey looked at him coldly, his eyes sharp as knives. The man finally lowered his head slightly. “Master Harvey,” he corrected quickly, his voice more controlled.Joseph - as Harvey called him - stepped closer, his jaw hardening slightly. However, before he could ask, Harvey had already spoken. “I had an accident, Joseph.”His tone remained steady. Calm. But

A gentle smile was etched on the mother's face as her eyes caught Troy's figure. Without hesitation, she immediately spread her arms and hugged her son lovingly. “Oh, you've come, Troy,” she said, her voice sounding warm and full of pride.Meanwhile, Rebecca stepped closer with some hesitation. Her throat felt dry as she gulped. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the tremors in her chest, then bowed politely.“W-welcome, Father, Mother...” her voice was almost a whisper, trembling slightly.Her gaze remained downcast, but she could feel the coldness of the atmosphere surrounding her. There was no warm embrace like Troy had received, no loving welcome. Only a silence that left an uneasy feeling in his chest.Freddie Beats gave a small nod, his lips curving in a smile that seemed friendly at first glance. However, it was different with Samantha Beats-Rebecca's mother. The woman only gave a brief nod, her gaze sharp and full of judgment.Her eyes followed Rebecca from head to toe, no

“Rebecca!” Freddie bolted to his feet. His chair shifted roughly, creaking against the floor. His chest rose and fell, as if something was squeezing his heart.However, before he could take a step closer, the sound of clinking glasses stopped him in his tracks. Samantha, casually, raised the wine glass to her lips. The look in her eyes was calm, almost lazy.“Ah, darling...” Her tone was light, almost like she was discussing the weather. “There's no need to be so excited.” She casts a quick glance at Rebecca who is drooping in Harvey's arms, then lets out a long sigh, as if bored. “You know she likes to stir up trouble just to get your attention.”Samantha tilted her head slightly, her fingers twirling the glass gracefully. “This time, maybe he's just pretending to be poisoned to get you worried.” A drop of wine remained on her lips, but her thin smile did not waver in the slightest.Troy cut into his steak casually, the knife gliding smoothly through the still-red meat in the center.
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 86-1
Rebecca felt a strong urge from inside her body-like something was urging her out. Her throat burned, her stomach queasy. Her whole body shook violently before finally, once again, a dark red liquid gushed from her lips. Blood. A lot of it.Her body jerked as her breath caught, as if her lungs were desperately trying to resist the poison eating away at them. Cold sweat ran down his temples, while trembling hands gripped her aching chest.Freddie bolted upright from his chair, his chair sliding roughly against the floor. His eyes widened, his breathing ragged. “Why is there so much blood?” his voice was full of shock, almost panic. For the first time, her indifference began to crack.Behind her tense expression, Samantha's mind danced in contentment. Her lips may have remained sealed, but in her mind, a triumphant smile was already expanding. “Good...”Her gaze drifted towards the sprawled Rebecca, her body still twitching weakly. Blood pooled on the floor, coloring the wood a dusky re

“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
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
