The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 139
The cold light from the television cuts through the darkness of the room. Harvey's image was carved into the wall, still, barely moving. He was sitting back on the couch, but his body seemed too stiff for someone who was relaxing. The light from the screen bounces off his wide-open eyes, glued to the news that drones on like a whisper that won't stop.It wasn't entertainment he was looking for.His eyes were sharp, blinking occasionally, but more out of tiredness than comfort.Suddenly, a soft knock sounded on the door. Harvey turns his head. At first glance. Reflexively. As if the sound touched the deepest layers of his tension."Come in, Jordan," Harvey said without turning his head, his voice flat but sure.He knew it was Jordan. There was a distinctive vibration that traveled from the floor to the soles of his feet-an all-too-familiar energy rhythm. As subtle as the swish of the wind but strong enough to be recognized.The door creaked softly. Sure enough. Jordan appeared on the t

Three hours on a plane was enough to make Neuron feel sore all over. He swung his arms back and forth, rotating his shoulder joints until a small crick sounded, then shook his head to relax the tense neck muscles. His face radiated a strange satisfaction, as if the fatigue was part of a routine he enjoyed.In stark contrast to the two men behind him-Harvey and Jordan-who walk leisurely but alert, blending in with the airport crowd through their simple clothing. Nothing flashy. Nothing suspicious. Harvey shoved his hands into his jacket pockets, his eyes sweeping the surroundings quickly and calmly.Neuron is just the opposite. He wore a wide-brimmed hat and large sunglasses-the style of a celebrity seeking attention, not hiding. His steps were light but confident, as if he knew he was noteworthy.They hadn't fully exited the terminal when a crowd of people with cameras and microphones began to approach.The flash lights turned on."Prof. Neuron!" A male journalist thrust a microphone

The round lights around the mirror cast a warm glow on Josh's face. Behind the reflection of the vanity mirror, he sat up straight, wearing an ivory white shirt that looked as slick as if it had been ironed twice. His right hand is busy adjusting the folds of his dark blue tie, while his left hand holds his cell phone, which is constantly vibrating from social media notifications.A makeup artist stood at his side, applying a light powder to Josh's cheeks with a large brush. Her movements are quick yet careful, like painting on glass.Suddenly, high heels could be heard approaching. Linda-dark-skinned, wearing thin glasses, and always with a tablet in hand-stopped right behind Josh's chair."Josh, it's almost time," she said without taking her eyes off the tablet screen. Her tone was calm, but quick - the speech of someone used to being in control.Josh didn't respond immediately. He leaned forward slightly, straightened his tie once more, then grinned at the mirror. His gaze swept ov

The shiny black car slowed down before coming to a smooth stop in front of the main conference center. The back door opened, and Josh stepped out confidently, wearing thin, gold-rimmed glasses-an accessory he had chosen not for sight, but for intellectual illusion.Behind him, Linda followed, holding a tablet and a folder of documents that she had memorized the contents of better than Josh himself.As soon as Josh appeared, a group of people immediately approached. Some pointed their cellphones at him, and some whispered to each other while pointing. Josh's face-which often appears in political satire videos-is well known in Kaelvarion.With a gesture that he was used to doing in front of the camera, Josh put on a big smile. He raised one hand in a half-wave like a true politician campaigning. "Oh, I'm sorry, guys," he said lightly, his voice rising an octave to be heard over the crowd. "I have to go in soon to meet the leaders of Kaelvarion. Stay tuned for updates from me... the late

"Linda, get someone to follow that guy!" snapped Josh, his tone firm and sharp as a whip.Linda frowned. Her eyebrows dropped, her jaw tightened. "Josh, we don't have time for this-""Just do it!" he snapped, his eyes bulging, burning with unbearable tension.There was no more room for debate. Linda let out a quick breath, then quickly raised the communicator in her hand. Within seconds, the mercenaries Josh had previously hired received their orders and began to move.They sped off, following in the footsteps of Harvey and Jordan who had been spotted earlier. Their steps were quick, eyes wildly scanning the streets and alleyways.However, it didn't take long before confusion set in."Where did they go? Did anyone see them?""There's no trace of them to the north!" one of them shouted."It's empty here too! It's like... they just disappeared."The men looked at each other, their breathing ragged, the shadows of Harvey and Jordan already gone."We lost them," reported one of Josh's men

"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

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

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

Steve's gaze was smoldering, like an ember looking for something to devour. His eyes held a fierce anger-not just anger, but a vengeance that was on the verge of exploding. With a quick, steady motion, he reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist. The aged metal gleamed grimly, suggesting a long history of blood and power-a weapon that had only been a whisper in Harvey's ear.Without warning, Steve lunges. His sword darts through the air, aiming straight for Harvey's neck, like a venomous snake ready to peck.In a split second, Harvey opens his eyes. His breath caught. There was something in the blade-a pressure, an ancient force pulsing through his bones. The world seemed to slow down. In the eerie silence, his body braced, his survival instinct taking over.The blade darted so close that its sharp wind grazed Harvey's cheek. But in one barely perceptible movement, Harvey raised his hand and-two fingers clamped down on the blade, stopping it instantly. There was no wound. No tre

“Security! Take this filthy man out!” Adam screeched, his voice cracking like a whip through the air.Four large men burst through the crowd, their steps steady and alert. But when they reached the front of the circle and saw who was standing with Harvey, their movements suddenly slowed. Their gazes froze, and the once stout legs were now hesitant to act.Meanwhile, Harvey swatted Steve's hand away from his shoulder with a rough stomp. Steve staggered a step back, losing his balance for a moment, leaving several bystanders wide-eyed.In the next second, the click of guns rang out. Four gun barrels raised in unison, pointing directly at Harvey's chest. The pressure in the air rose sharply, like an invisible storm that everyone there could feel.“Stop right there! You've been aggressive to the God of War!” one of them exclaimed, his voice hardened, yet containing a nervous tone that could not be hidden. “You will be punished!”Harvey only turned his head slowly. His gaze swept over the

The room was instantly tense. Everyone's eyes are fixed on Harvey, as if to swallow him whole. The smile on Steve's face vanished in a flash, replaced by a sharp frown on his forehead. He pulls his hand away and clears his throat softly, as if trying to quell the turmoil in his chest.Steve stared at Harvey, his eyes narrowed, his jaw hardened. His face begins to turn red, not from embarrassment, but from the anger boiling beneath his skin.But Harvey stood his ground. His gaze is calm, not backing down one bit. He met Steve's gaze coldly, as if the anger of the man in front of him was just a passing thought.Steve stepped forward, his steps heavy and full of ego. He stood directly in front of Harvey, then spouted words in a hoarse, stifled voice."Do you know me?"With a quiet gesture, Harvey shook his head, slow and sure."Should I?" he says flatly, but his tone cuts like a cold knife.The room rumbles again, but not with sound-it's with a slowly building anger. Some people began to

“Welcoming the God of War here must not be a problem!” Adam's voice was high-pitched, full of pressure. His eyes were piercing, and his jaw was set. “The handing over of ancient weapons to the God of War is a sacred moment. If there are troublemakers...” He turned his head sharply toward Harvey, his final voice suppressed, “...I will not forgive him.”The veins in Adam's neck bulged, and his cheeks flushed with overflowing emotion. The few people standing nearby instantly moved closer to Harvey, as if commanded by contagious rage. Their gazes now turned into cynical glares, as if Harvey had tarnished the honor of the place.But Harvey just stood still. His shoulders did not move, his eyes did not flinch. He swept the crowd with a flat look, as if assessing how much they were ready to bully, but not important enough for him to respond.A single breath escaped her nose-long and deep, like someone stifling a laugh in the middle of a children's ruckus. Then her eyes stopped on Adam. His g

Adam realized something was off. Since a few minutes ago, Harvey's gaze had never left him. It was no ordinary gaze-cold, piercing, as if it were penetrating an invisible wall of defense.Adam's steps slowed when he finally decided to get closer. His forehead wrinkles, a small crease at his temple signaling displeasure.“Are you after me for something?” his voice was flat, yet firm. “Your gaze is... disturbing.”Harvey didn't answer. He just breathed in slowly through his nose, like he was holding something heavy. His shoulders dropped slightly as the exhale escaped.Then, his eyes moved to the throne-the place that had made him uneasy in the first place. She looked at it intently, her eyelids narrowed, as if trying to read the meaning behind the artificial elegance.Zash and Ken could only stare at the scene with bated breath. Their bodies stiffened.Ken stepped quickly closer, a nervous expression evident. His eyebrows knitted together as he called out softly, half panicked, “Sir, w

Harvey frowned, as if he couldn't believe the news. How could a rumor of this magnitude go unnoticed by him? Normally, he never bothered with the cheap drama of the rich who were often hungry for sensation. But this time, someone dared to use the God of War's name.What was the intent behind such foolish audacity?His gaze shifted, drawn by something striking at the far end of the room. On the stage, a throne stood majestically, exuding an aura of power that silenced the surrounding crowd. Intricate carvings adorned its surface, as if each curve spoke of glory. Needless to say, the throne was clearly reserved for the God of War.Harvey squinted, his lips curving in a faint smile."Oh, I can see that," he muttered softly, more to himself.Ken and Zash looked over as well.Ken immediately crossed his arms over his chest, his smile wide, full of excitement.excitement."Great, isn't it?" he said, his voice sounding half-proud. "That throne was custom-made in record time. It took extra la

The day of the God of War's arrival in Rainvale had finally arrived.Harvey stepped into the same building as before-the place where he had met Kyle and Ray. But now, the great hall had changed drastically. Majestic columns towered high, giant draperies hung gracefully, while blazing music filled every corner of the room, raising the spirits of the entire building.With quiet steps, Harvey walked down the hall, his eyes sweeping the entire room with great interest. Every detail of this welcome party whispered one thing clearly-this was no ordinary event. This was a show of power."Great place," Harvey muttered flatly, almost expressionlessly. But his gaze remains sharp, scanning every corner, as if measuring something invisible.Harvey walked casually, blending in as if he was part of the crowd. His face remained flat, showing no hint of tension as he walked down the hall filled with important people.His steps halted for a moment when his ears caught the conversation of two people ne
Chapter 157-2
With steady steps, Harvey cut through the crowd of passersby around him. They were all busy with their own business, their eyes barely glancing at him. No one recognized him in this place-a situation that made Harvey smile inwardly. Anonymity was a luxury he rarely enjoyed, and this time, he used it to the fullest.The accidental encounter with Whitley earlier was imprinted on his mind, like a small stain on white paper. Harvey sighed softly. He didn't want to let his ruin his mood. So, with a leisurely pace and an observant gaze, he chose to walk away, down the hallways of the building, letting himself sink into silence while watching every corner carefully.Unintentionally, a man in a hurry bumped into Harvey's shoulder, sending the stack of documents in his hand scattering to the floor."Oh, sorry!" he exclaimed hurriedly, bending down in panic to grab the scattered sheets.Beside him, his friend immediately joined him in a crouch, gathering the documents in a haphazard motion."Yo
Chapter 157-1
Harvey stepped into the building, immediately sensing the busy atmosphere that enveloped every corner. In the lobby, employees milled about with hurried steps, each carrying a stack of documents that seemed to need to be handed over immediately, as if their world revolved around those files. Their movements were so fast, like they were being chased by something unseen, prompting an almost palpable tension in the air.The atmosphere was suffocating, filled with unspoken pressure. Harvey felt his chest slightly squeezed by the endless crowd. He averted his gaze for a moment, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly to calm himself. The sound of his breathing seemed to make room for his mind to refocus, to escape for a moment from the pressing hustle and bustle.Harvey frowned, feeling the irritation that was creeping up on him. What should have been a calm and orderly morning was now immediately greeted with a bustling and anxious scene. In front of this building, he felt like he was bein
