The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 89
In the midst of the growing chaos, Rebecca reached into her pocket with a swift movement, pulled out her cell phone and immediately typed in the number she had memorized by heart. Her fingers trembled slightly, but her expression remained as firm as steel. The lines on his forehead tightened, indicating the tension he felt.“Hello,” her voice was flat yet sharp, cutting through the surrounding noise. “You're near the meeting building, right? Come here right now. Call the police and forensics.”Without waiting for an answer, she hung up the phone with one decisive jerk. Her gaze swept the room, meeting the eyes staring at her-some surprised, others wary. Most piercing, however, was her mother's gaze.Samantha stood rigid, her face hardened, eyes bulging like a hawk about to tear into its prey. Her breath hitched before she finally stepped forward, her index finger pointed at Rebecca.“You!” her voice was shrill, filled with seething rage. ”You even dare to act this shamefully! Do you w

“Don't think I won't avenge this, Rebecca! I'll come for you when you're completely asleep in your sleep! Then I'll strangle you!” screeched Troy as the police dragged him away. His voice was hateful, echoing throughout the room.Rebecca froze. Her hands trembled, her fingers felt cold and stiff. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her rumbling chest. Slowly, her eyelids closed, holding back something churning inside her.As her lips moved, her voice sounded almost like a whisper-fragile, but still trying to be firm. “Finally... I did it.”The air around her felt heavier, but somehow, for the first time, the weight on her chest began to feel a little lighter.Kendall stepped closer, his expression hardening. Her forehead was furrowed, reflecting suppressed anxiety. “Miss Rebecca, I didn't expect this matter to be this serious.” His voice was low, yet firm. “You should have contacted me from the start. Your life was in danger, Miss. It is fortunate that you are still safe.”Rebecca
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 91
In her quiet home, Whitley sat with her head bowed, her fingers squeezing her forehead as if hoping to drown out the pain that continued to throb in her temples. Her breathing was heavy, labored. The room felt even more cramped than usual, like the walls were closing in, pressing against her chest.Fuck...,” she swore softly, almost as a hiss.The painkillers she had swallowed earlier gave no relief. The pain remained lodged, settling in her bones, creeping like a poison that refused to leave. Every second felt like another ordeal added on top of the existing burden. Her life was like a cruel game that gave her no pause to breathe.In the midst of her downfall, one name came back to haunt her mind-Harvey. Her ex-husband was so good, too good. She always gave in to her every whim, as if the world belonged to Whitley alone. But now? Harvey's life seemed better without her, while she herself was plunged into a seemingly endless suffering.her fingers trembled, wanting to reach for a bott

The music pounded, filling the air with a bass thump that echoed off the walls of the club. The lights flickered, occasionally reflecting red and blue on Harvey's unwavering face. While the people around him laughed and danced, he stared at the black watch on his wrist with a calm expression. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed. The second hand seemed to slow down, out of sync with the time he felt. With a casual gesture, she turned the small knob on the side of the watch, fixing it.From the corner of her eye, she caught the shadow of someone approaching. The scent of sweet perfume mixed with alcohol touched his nose before the figure actually sat down next to him. A woman in red, her dress tightly molded to her curves, while her slender fingers clutched a glass of wine. She rested one elbow on the table, her body leaning slightly towards Harvey.The woman's lips curved in a seductive smile. “Hello, handsome,” her voice was soft, almost a whisper amidst the noise. Her eyes glanced do

"Please... I..."The weak voice rang out again, almost drowned out in the thumping music from downstairs. It was a woman's voice.Harvey, who was already halfway into the elevator, reflexively held the door with his arm. Instantly, his alertness increased. His gaze swept the hallway quickly, until finally his focus fell on the door near the fire escape. That was where the voice had come from.Without hesitation, she darted towards it. Her steps were quick and silent, barely making a sound on the cold marble floor. Upon reaching the door, his gaze immediately caught the figure of a woman drooping limply on the floor.The woman's clothes were a mess. Her dress was torn in several places, revealing her pale skin and slim stomach with a few faintly visible muscles. The cloth that was supposed to cover her body was now uncovered, revealing a slightly visible part of her underwear. Her breathing was labored, while her eyes looked blank and blurry, as if struggling to stay conscious.Harvey

“You really are trash!” Someone's voice from the crowd burst out, filled with anger. His hands were clenched into fists, his face was flushed, and his eyes widened as if ready to pounce.“How dare you say that! A venereal criminal doesn't deserve to be out there. Prison is your place!”Cell phones were still raised, camera lenses recording every second of the incident. Some people began to whisper amongst themselves, but most kept their eyes fixed on Harvey, as if they had already passed judgment without hearing a defense.One man stepped forward, showing his phone screen with a triumphant look in his eyes. “Here's the proof! We all saw what you did! This video is enough to make you rot behind bars!”Viona, who was still slumped over with her body trembling, only looked down while sobbing. Her shoulders shook, her hands hugging herself as if seeking protection. Every breath she took sounded like a stifled scream of fear-and that was enough to make the people's anger burn even hotter.
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 95
On the first floor, Harvey put his cell phone down after finishing the call with Neuron. His steps were steady and purposeful as he walked down the hallway to a room.Without hesitation, he grabbed the doorknob and opened it with a single push. The room was quite spacious, lit by dim light that cast faint shadows on the walls.Neuron was already waiting for him there, sitting casually with his arms crossed. However, upon seeing Harvey's expression, he immediately frowned and moved away slightly.“Hey! Your face is too scary,” he said in a half-joking, half-wary tone. “I'm not one of your soldiers, remember? Don't try to give off your intimidating aura here.”Harvey stared at him for a moment, then sighed softly. The lines of tension on his face relaxed. “Alright,” he replied, his voice calmer, though the sharpness in his eyes still hadn't completely disappeared.Unlike soldiers who had been forged on the battlefield, Neuron did not have enough mental resilience to deal with such press
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 95-2
Neuron smiled broadly, his face radiating satisfaction. "Everything went according to plan," he said, patting his chest confidently. "You'd better assign your men to find the rest, Harvey."Harvey stared at him expressionlessly, his eyes keenly tracing Neuron's face as if considering something. Then, without changing his tone of voice, he replied, "You sound too casual for something this big."Neuron chuckled, his shoulders lifting lightly. "Because I know we'll succeed. You know that too, don't you? After all, you are the phoenix, aren't you? Your presence is always anticipated."He stood up, stretching his body after so long buried in his work in the laboratory. His joints crunched softly, but his expression remained full of satisfaction. his eyes glanced at Harvey who was still sitting with a calm expression."I've worked hard. Now it's time to enjoy the results," he said as he stretched his arms. "You wouldn't be averse to having some fun, would you?"Harvey merely shrugged, a fai

“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

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
