The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 96
Whitley strode quickly away from the hustle and bustle of the club, the beating of his shoes echoing in the deserted hallway. Her breathing was ragged, not because she was tired, but because of the anger churning in his chest. she didn't expect Harvey to notice him so soon.As soon as she reached a quiet corner, she took out her cell phone with a rough motion and immediately dialed the number she had memorized.“Hello, Viona,” she said coldly.The voice on the other side sounded a little hurried. “Whitley, where are you?”She put the phone to her ear, her voice low and sharp. “I've been out of the club. How did it go?”From the other side, Viona's voice sounded a little shaky, but still tried to sound calm. “I did it,” she said. “But something was strange... He didn't react the way I expected. It's as if the recording wasn't a threat to her. He just walked away.”Whitley grinned, the corners of her lips lifting. she gave a small snort, then shook her head. “Let's leave it at that. He'

Viona began to lose her rhythm of breath. Her chest rose and fell rapidly, her eyes wide as she stared at the flashes of light from the phone cameras that kept recording them. Fear crept through her body, making her tremble uncontrollably."What is this, Whitley?" Her voice quivered, almost a panicked whisper.Whitley shook her head, her gaze tightening with tension. She swallowed hard, trying to steady herself even as her mind spiraled into chaos."I don't know either! What the hell is going on?" Whitley’s voice was sharper than usual, reflecting the confusion and anxiety gnawing at her.A man with slightly curly hair stepped forward, holding a microphone in his hand. With confidence, he looked straight at the camera as if he were hosting a show on stage."Look here!" His voice echoed through the room, filled with dramatic flair. "Here, we have a prime example of the wicked women roaming this world!"He grinned as the cameras continued capturing every second of the scene. His eyes gl

Whitley gripped the cell bars tightly, her fingers whitening from the pressure. Her eyes were wide with anger, and her voice screeched, echoing down the prison corridor. "I’m innocent! You’re all the bad ones! Trapping me like this!"But no one cared. The guards remained indifferent, and even some of the other inmates stared at her with blank expressions, as though her shouting was nothing more than the passing wind.In the corner of the cell, Viona sat curled up, hugging her knees as if she wished to disappear from the world. Her shoulders trembled, her breath was shallow, and her face was filled with panic she couldn’t hide. It was as if every sound around her turned into a buzzing, a ringing in her ears, reminding her of the two horrific events that had just occurred.Her tear-filled eyes stared blankly at the floor. Her self-esteem was shattered, and a guard barked, "Shut up! I’ve heard it a hundred times!" His voice full of irritation.But Whitley didn’t stop. She kept shouting,

Harvey let out a long breath, his eyes fell on the monument made of stone, decorated with rows of names of soldiers who died on the battlefield. The sight made him pause, the atmosphere of silence hanging in the air. He closed his eyes for a moment, as if paying tribute to those who had sacrificed their lives for the country of Kaelvarion.His heart beat softly, feeling the heavy burden they had left behind. Without them, Duskvale might not have remained as safe as it was now.After a few seconds, Harvey opened his eyes and turned his gaze to the display of long-barreled weapons mounted on the wall. The weapon looked shiny under the falling light, not unlike the weapons used by great heroes of the past. Harvey stepped closer, his body slightly bent, his eyes staring intently at the weapon. Memories came to haunt him, rushing like an unstoppable river.In his chest, the accumulated feelings - longing, fear, and the sense of community that had grown up in the war - came rushing back to h

Tim widened his eyes, his chest rising and falling with irregular breathing. His body stiffened at the sight of Kurt and his friends lying on the floor, groaning in pain. Some of them tried to get up, but their bodies were shaking, as if they were losing their balance.Tim swallowed, his throat feeling dry. Slowly, he turned his head towards Harvey. The figure was still standing calmly, without the slightest scratch or sign of fatigue. A faint smile was etched on his lips-not a mocking smile, but something far more intimidating.Tim's heart was beating so hard he could hear it himself. His legs trembled, his body slowly backing away involuntarily. “T-Master...” his voice trembled, almost inaudible. He shook his head, as if rejecting the reality before his eyes. “Don't tell me... this is your doing?”Her face was deathly pale, as if her blood had been sucked into her toes. Her eyes glanced back at Kurt who was still grimacing, then back at Harvey with obvious fear. “They... they couldn

Thompson groaned, his face paled as he looked down at his twisted finger - trapped inside the knuckle bar still wrapped around his hand.“Damn... this hurts!” his voice was shrill, almost hysterical. His breath hitched, beads of sweat starting to run down his temples.Rick quickly slipped his penknife back into his pocket, then crouched down beside Thompson. His gaze was sharp, but his voice remained calm. “Don't panic. It's just a dislocation.”Thompson looked at him with a face full of fear. His breathing was ragged.Rick grabbed Thompson's face, turning him forcefully away from looking at his own fingers. “Take a deep breath. It'll only take a minute.”Before Thompson could protest, Rick had already pulled his finger in one swift motion. A sound like breaking wood was heard.Thompson's scream echoed in the museum. The tingling sensation spread like electricity, making him almost slump to the floor. He held his hand that was now back straight, but the pain still burned every nerve.

Kurt clicked his tongue, his sharp voice sounding piercing amidst the silence. His brow furrowed, and his eyes glared at Tim, filled with disappointment and contempt."You're just a coward," he said in a dismissive tone. "You can't even hurt other people."Tim bowed his head slowly. His shoulders slumped, as if all his courage had simply collapsed. All around him, he could feel the mocking stares. Although no one made a sound, the inaudible laughter echoed in his mind, piercing deeper than Kurt's words.Tim's hands clenched into fists, his fingers trembling. He wanted to speak, wanted to defend himself, wanted to say something-anything that would protect his pride and his father. But his lips felt paralyzed.In his mind, the image of his father appeared-the tired face full of warmth, the rough hands that had been working hard. And now, in his mind, that figure seemed farther and farther away, fainter and fainter, as if carried away by the unstoppable current of fate.Tim's heart beat

“Why are you doing nothing? Get it!” Kurt's voice was sharp, cutting through the air with a tone of command.He stood with his chest puffed out, his arms crossed in front of his body. His head was raised slightly, as if this world was nothing more than his fiefdom. His eyes were narrowed, full of arrogance that demanded obedience.Tom looked down, staring at the pen lying near Kurt's feet. At a glance, he could see the corners of Kurt's lips pulled up-a triumphant smile. Deliberately. It wasn't just an order, but an insult.Tom sighed, the cold air prickling in his throat. A faint smile formed on his face, but his eyes couldn't hide the hesitation. “Alright,” he said, his voice sounding light, but there was something held back there.As his body began to lean forward, a tight grip stopped him. Tim gripped his wrist, so tightly that it almost trembled. The boy stared at him intently, his eyes full of tension.“No, Dad!” he whispered, his voice almost shaking. “Kurt has no good intentio

Harvey 150-1
"This situation is quite familiar, isn't it?" Harvey glanced briefly at Vanessa, his eyes remaining alert at the threat before them. His calm voice implied something-a reminder of a not-so-distant past.Vanessa frowned, her eyebrows rising slightly, a puzzled expression on her beautiful face. "Familiar?" she asked in an innocent tone, as if trying to ignore the reality that was beginning to catch up with them.Harvey moved one foot forward, his body slightly lowered into a defensive position, ready for the worst. His breathing was still regular, but his shoulders were tense."Why are they after you? It is also happened in the first time we met," he asked without taking his eyes off the big men across the street.Quietly, Vanessa shook her head. Her smile was faint, but her eyes did not share it. "A lot of people are after me, Harvey. The entertainment world is full of fanatics." She took a quick breath. "I thought... they were just one of them."But Harvey could catch the faintest not

“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

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
