The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 10
Doctor Aurelia glared. For a moment her eyes were glued to Harvey. However, a moment later she began to frown and her lips pulled back.She began to laugh amusedly after hearing what Harvey had just said. “Your joke is hilarious. What kind of person cuts his own hand like that? That wound is so deep, you could even lose your hand forever.”Although Doctor Aurelia laughed like that, Harvey did not laugh along with her. He just watched Doctor Aurelia without saying a single word. Until finally Doctor Aurelia turned to him. The laughter on the young doctor's lips began to fade.Harvey looked directly into Doctor Aurelia's eyes calmly. It was as if he was waiting to be heard. “I'm not joking.”Suddenly Doctor Aurelia furrowed her brows. She glared in disbelief at what she had just heard. “Are you out of your mind? You could be disabled for life! You should take care of your body, not destroy it like this. What you're doing could be killing yourself.”Harvey remained calm even though he wa

“I didn't expect to be tested in this way.” Doctor Aurelia kept her surprise. In her heart, she was a little worried about this. “Thank you for testing me, General--”Harvey shook his head while frowning. “Call me Mr. Harvey, do not call me General.”Doctor Aurelia was silent for a moment. Calling a person of high rank by name directly felt awkward to Doctor Aurelia. Moreover, this man was the one who had led her when she was on the battlefield.Doctor Aurelia did know that Harvey had retired, but it felt rude to do so. Doctor Aurelia only smiled hesitantly at this moment.Harvey, who caught the hesitation, raised his head slightly. “Mr. Harvey, you can call me that. This is not on the battlefield.”Doctor Aurelia nodded. “Very well, Mr. Harvey.”Doctor Aurelia felt a great deal of awkwardness, but Harvey only gave a small nod. So Doctor Aurelia thought that this was the right thing to do.Doctor Aurelia exhaled. “Mr. Harvey, if you wanted to test me, why did you do such a dangerous t

“Damn it!” Jay glared at Jordan. He became annoyed that Jordan didn't answer his question.In a moment Jay could instantly feel the immense pressure from Jordan. His eyes didn't even radiate fear at all. Jay was sure that this person was not just anyone who came here.Irritated, Jay pulled his hand away, but Jordan didn't let go of his grip. In fact, the more Jay tried the tighter Jordan held him.Jay clenched his teeth, not liking Jordan's actions. “Oh, it turns out that this hospital has the nerve to act. Deliberately hiring thugs like this to obstruct us, huh? You'd better stay out of it if you still care about your fate, you village thug!”Jordan narrowed his eyes. He was seriously watching Jay's gestures. From the movement of his eyes, mouth, and behavior, he seemed to have a protector who he considered a strong man.Not long after, Doctor Aurelia arrived and she firmly stepped closer. Her gaze was sharp at Jay who had an unpleasant look on his face. “Why are you here again? I t

“What a jerk. He is a pain in the ass.” Doctor Aurelia exhaled. Her eyes closed tightly as she looked down.The words spoken by Jay earlier were really weighing on her mind. Several times Doctor Aurelia exhaled, but it didn't calm the pounding of her heart.It wasn't just once that Jay had come here. This time he came alone, but before that he came with some gang members. They harassed the workers of this hospital, causing construction to come to a halt for some time.This time, Jay was really humiliated. Doctor Aurelia was worried about what that person would do next. Thinking about this made Doctor Aurelia a little dizzy. With a worried look she turned her head towards the hospital at the back. Even though the building wasn't completely finished, Doctor Aurelia felt responsible for the existence of this hospital.Doctor Aurelia shook her head softly. “I messed it up. The Longwood family won't like this news.”Harvey turned to the woman. He could see how she was distressed by Jay who

“How did it get like this?” Whitley muttered it several times.The thin nails on his fingers pinched her lips incessantly. Occasionally she would bite them. Slowly but surely, Whitley walked to the right, then to the left again, and to the right again. She did so with furrowed brows.The scream from Andreas on the phone was still ringing in her head. It penetrated and seemed to squeeze her head. Moreover, Whitley had heard the news that Andreas had actually been arrested by the police.Whitley did not want to believe that fact. Because in the city of Duskvale, even a god should not be able to touch their slippery skin. The police who were supposed to be on the Brown family's side should not have done that.Whitley bit her fingernails again. “How is this?”Like a breath of air, this worry slipped into Whitley's chest until her breathing became heavier. Andreas' father, Johan, had told Whitley not to worry as he would take care of Andreas. However, the unceasing doubt stabbed at Whitley

“How is it, darling?” Patricia, Johan Brown's wife, tugged on Johan's arm several times.Her heart kept imagining bad things happening to Andreas. The sirens and screams she remembered when Andreas was dragged away by the men in uniform kept Patricia's heart racing. However, she could do nothing but plead and tug on the arm of her equally confused husband.Johan's eyes glanced at his wife, the movement slow and slightly hesitant. His jaw hardened, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the surface of the table, as if looking for a way to avoid the question that had just been asked. “How what?”Patricia frowned. Exhaling in resignation, her shoulders slumped as if she was carrying the weight of the world. “About our son, of course. He's been arrested by the police.”Johan reached over and held his wife's trembling hand. With his thumb, he rubbed the back of her hand. “It will be alright. Uncle Andreas will be here soon. Cole is a reliable person.”Johan said it softly, giving her a calm

“Finally!” Andreas exclaimed, the corners of his lips lifting, forming a wide, almost cocky smile. The morning air felt fresher as he stepped out of the cold bars, his mind light as if a huge weight had just been lifted. He strode with his chest puffed out, as if this vast earth was his again. “This is how a member of the Brown family should feel!” As soon as the police station door opened, Andreas looked back with a sharp gaze full of mockery. He spat on the ground, his spittle landing with a low sound that sounded piercing amongst the silence. In a deliberately slow motion, he pointed his middle finger at the officers on duty. “You should know who you're dealing with!”The policeman on guard could only hold his breath, his eyes narrowed with seething anger. His hands were clenched at his sides, but he remained motionless. In front of him stood a man dressed in military garb, his aura stern and intimidating, a figure he clearly did not want to challenge. Acting rashly would only mak

Harvey's steps sounded soft on the busy sidewalks of Duskvale, blending in with the roar of vehicles and the boisterous chatter of pedestrians. The morning sun hits his skin, warm but not stinging. He walked slowly, his hands hidden in his pockets, his movements relaxed yet thoughtful.The cool morning air pricked his nose, carrying the scent of the streets mixed with the fresh leaves of the nearby park. Harvey took a deep breath, letting his eyes close for a moment. A small smile appeared on his lips, a smile that brought a brief sense of calm. Like this, he thought, a sense of freedom he never felt at the Smith family residence-a place full of rules and pressure.When his eyes opened again, his gaze fell far ahead, piercing through the crowd that seemed to blur in his mind. His lips formed a faint smile, almost like an inaudible whisper. “This is your hometown, Dad.”Harvey bowed his head slightly, his shoulders dropping slowly, like someone carrying an invisible burden. His breathi

“Uncle Cole?” Andreas's eyebrows knitted together like threads, the tips bending downward. His lips curled downward, along with the disappointment he felt. His mind was like a tangle of threads trying to make sense of Cole's words, but the more he tried to unravel the more lost his mind became. “Why is Uncle Cole suddenly saying this?”Andreas pointed at Harvey's face with a sharp movement, breaking the air in front of him. His eyes widened, as if his eyeballs were emitting lightning, full of fury like a newly ignited fire. “He's a troublemaker? Why should I apologize to him?” Andreas' jaw hardened to say it. His voice trembled, full of pressure.Cole opened his eyes even wider, the anger and worry in his eyes becoming more and more implicit. With a nervous movement, he pulled Andreas to his feet. “You don't understand. Hurry up and apologize, damn nephew!”Andreas clenched his teeth even more, making his jaw hard to hold back his emotions. His heart was beating faster with bated brea

“What?” Andreas tilted his head slightly, his eyebrows knitted together like intertwined threads. His eyes narrowed further, sweeping Rolland's face questioningly.Andreas took a deep breath, his chest puffed out firmly with confidence. His movements, though slow but firm, seemed to give the impression that he was not a random person. Even though he knew that the person talking to him was a respected figure in Duskvale, it was not enough to suppress Andreas' ego. To him, his uncle had contributed to this country. He was a hero who needed to be honored. So Andreas also needed to be honored as a member of his family.The look of respect for Rolland faded, Andreas' gaze became more challenging. “Governor, do you not know who I am?”Andreas pointed at himself with a slight smug grin. As the son of the Brown family, surely many people should recognize him.Rolland furrowed his brows like intertwined threads. He took a good look at the young man's face, he didn't feel like inviting a young

All eyes were glued to the man who held the security guard's hand without fear. Slowly, their eyes opened wide as if they saw something unexpected.One man there noticed the person. He caught his breath and held it. “Wait, isn't he Dean Watson?”The guests froze instantly in their places. Some of their eyebrows rose high, while exchanging glances with each other. Whispers began to flow like waves. One of the women gulped and her mouth began to open. “The Dean Watson you're referring to... That Dean Watson, right?”With his head slightly tilted, the man nodded confidently. Even his jaw hardened as if it could not be shaken. “Yes, Dean Watson, the Commander who guards the northern region of Royota harbor.”The invited guests held their breath for a moment, their eyes rounded even more as they glanced at the Commander. They began to whisper whether the person in front of them was really Dean Watson.The man glanced at Dean Watson with admiring eyes. Slowly, his mouth opened. “Commander D

The crowd of pairs of eyes opened wide as if frozen after Andraes said that. Their minds seemed to drift away, unable to believe what they had just heard.“Huh? He's an important person invited by Governor Rolland West?” A man in a bow tie couldn't take his eyes off Andreas.A blonde woman beside him covered her mouth with the palm of her hand. “Oh, he knows the Governor well?”“I heard Governor Rolland West invited someone very important. Is that the man in question? He's the son of the Brown family, right?” a man pointed at Andreas with confidence. The excitement made all the guests start whispering about Governor Rolland West's special guest.In the guests' minds, getting an invitation to this party was already very difficult. Let alone getting a special invitation. Surely that person was someone very important to the Governor.Admiring glances continued to rain down on Andreas. He really enjoyed the little sounds of praise being showered on him. Before he knew it, the corners of h

A click of the tongue sounded loudly from Whitley's red lips. As if the words of the waiter were not valid. The woman folded her arms across her chest while glaring fiercely at the waitress. “What are you saying, waiter? Did you forget about your partner just now?”“Pardon?” the waiter frowned, he let out a hesitant smile mixed with fear. His breath was slightly held as he felt the pressure from this woman. “Forgot?”Whitley tilted his head, then he glanced sharply at Harvey, as if ready to puncture the man's embarrassment. “You should be doing well, Waiter. Even the information about the waiter named Harvey is incomprehensible to you. Your performance is really very poor. You were hired at such a luxurious party.”The waitress made a face. His eyes lowered slightly, as if avoiding Whitley's sharp gaze. “However, that cannot prove that this gentleman is a waiter.”Andreas then stepped in front of the waiter with intimidatingly firm steps. His eyes were sharp like a predator ready to p

The sound of Andreas's loafer steps slowly approached. With a smug face, the man smiled faintly at Harvey. Underestimating Harvey's presence in this place. “Oh, it's a surprise to see you here.”His footsteps stopped right next to Whitley. Casually, Andreas' hand curled around Whitley's neck, and then he took hold of Whitley's shoulder. He gently stroked the smooth skin of the shoulder, as if it were his own.The thin, dismissive smile grew wider, as if eager for Harvey to see what he could do. “I don't know what tricks you use, Harvey. However, seeing a poor man like you dressed up like this is very off-putting to me. It looks inappropriate.”Andreas furrowed his brows and shook his head. It was as if he was forbidding a child to play in the mud.Whitley snorted, his lips pulled back, making a dismissive smile bloom. His gaze lowered to HArvey, he agreed with Andreas' opinion. “That's right... this outfit doesn't suit you very well, Harvey. You're better suited in a dull, holey t-shi

“Here we are.” Andreas and Whitley entered the hall of a large, imposing building. The room was huge and tall, with beautiful lights hanging from it. Classical music from pianos and violins was being played nicely by the musicians. The voices even sounded very polite to the ears, perfectly fitting the relaxed atmosphere.Johan and Patricia joined hands behind Andreas and Whitley. The smiles on their faces blossomed like flowers. A feeling of pride welled up in their chests. Attending this party was an honor they were looking forward to.Patricia's eyes lit up when she saw how beautiful this party was. She exhaled a cold breath as she smiled at her husband. “Honey, this is great.”Johan nodded slowly as he returned Patricia's smile. Her eyes sparkled with happiness. “Cole has invited us here. Let's just enjoy the party, Patricia.”Patricia gave her husband the sweetest smile she had not given him in a long time. Her eyes slowly glanced at some of the people who were chatting. “Oh, dea

“Mr. Johan, good morning!” A pretty secretary in a red dress greeted Johan Brown with a friendly smile. She bowed, showing her deep respect for Johan.Johan returned her friendly smile with a slight nod of his head. “Good morning Kelly.”With slow movements, he opened the door to his room. Then he walked in and sat proudly in the chair.Kelly entered with graceful steps, her high heels making a soft sound on the marble floor. In her hand, a steaming mug of latte coffee, emitting a sweet aroma that filled the room.“Please, Mr. Johan.” Kelly placed the cup on the table with a careful gesture, as if the coffee was something precious.Johan greeted her with a faint smile as he nodded. “You know very well I can't start my morning without a latte.”Kelly smiled, revealing perfect white teeth. “Of course, sir. You are the pillar of this company. It's my job to make sure you're always ready to face the day.”Johan lifted his cup, sipping slowly. The bitter-sweet taste of the coffee was like

Harvey stared at the hospital construction report with keen eyes, taking in every detail. "Great..." his words came out quietly, barely audible, but full of meaning. His sharp eyes showed a faint satisfaction, observing the faster progress than he had anticipated.On the other side of the table, the report lay, but Harvey's gaze remained fixed on the results of the hard work that had materialized. Doctor Aurelia had already attracted many patients, even before the hospital had opened its doors. Harvey took a deep breath, creating silence between the crinkling sounds of the paper touching. The woman's dedication, which he could clearly see, made a faint smile etched at the corner of his lips.Not an ordinary smile of happiness, but rather a kind of wordless acknowledgment. It was the smile of a leader who knew when to reward. He looked down at the cup of coffee that had been filled from earlier, then took it slowly. The black liquid slid down his throat, giving a different warmth with
