The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 14
“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

Harvey's hand slid right into the can. The sound of the catch loudly split the air. It turned out to be an unopened drink. Harvey gave Don a knife-sharp glance. “What you're doing is dangerous. You might hurt someone.”The can in Harvey's hand shrivels, the metal dented by his firm grip. With a slow motion, Harvey tosses the can aside. The clinking sound of the can broke the silence between them. Slowly but with a heavy aura, Harvey turns his body around. So that he and Don were now facing each other.Don clicked his tongue. He strides over haughtily, pointing at Harvey. “This is all because of you!”His voice held a firm emotion, as if ready to ignite the fire of rage within him. “You caused this accident and now you want to run away. You want to run away from responsibility, huh?”The people who had gathered earlier now began to swarm around Harvey and Don like ants. They were looking at Harvey with piercing gazes, like they were looking at a hunted animal caught in a trap.One man

Two policemen jumped out of the patrol car, their footsteps echoing through the streets before stopping near Don who sat limply on the sidewalk. One of the cops crouched down, tapping the man's shoulder carefully. “What's going on here? Are you okay?”Don tried to speak, but only the sound of his labored breathing came out, raspy and disconnected. He squeezed the side of his stomach, the expression on his face one of pain. “He... he attacked me-”The cop glanced at Don's hand clutching his solar plexus. His forehead wrinkled, as if he realized something. “A blow to the liver. It must hurt a lot.”Don took a deep breath, but only half the air made it in before it stopped with a raspy sound, like a rusty wheel trying to turn. He looked up, his eyes red with anger even as his body faltered. “He... he's a thug! Made me crash, then hit me!” His voice rose, though his breathing was intermittent. “He thinks he's... untouchable!”The policeman shook his head softly, his palm remaining on Don

Harvey closed his eyes slowly as if he was holding back something big. Slowly, he took in his surroundings as he opened his eyes. Then with a slightly faint but firm gaze, Harvey exhaled a long breath.The sound of the exhale was like a wave breaking the air. In an instant the atmosphere became more tense than before. Immediately the tension crept into Jordan's mind. He who was standing next to Harvey could feel something was wrong. “Is there something going on? The General doesn't seem happy.”With authority and firmness, Harvey turned to Jordan. Making Jordan immediately stand up straight, ready to listen to the general's orders. His eyes were straight ahead, unable to look at Harvey's sharp as a sword gaze. He knew that Harvey was about to say something.Harvey squinted slightly, implying a slight feeling of disappointment. He slowly opened his lips. “How did this happen?”Jordan tilted his head slightly. Harvey's short speech was still like a riddle in Jordan's head. “What do you

Harvey set foot on what used to be his father's land. His steps felt heavy, even though the road in front of him looked smooth. It was as if there was a rope holding him down.Magnificent buildings stood firmly along the road, their shadows creating a chilling impression. Between the concrete corners, Harvey could re-imagine the green expanse that once existed, the cheerful sound of birds that used to chirp in the morning, and the laughter of his father when he told him about future dreams. But all that is now buried under layers of asphalt and bricks.Harvey stopped in front of a large building with the Comber family logo emblazoned across the top. His jaw hardens, his teeth chattering as he recalls how the family took this land from his father ten years ago. Harvey's hands clenched tightly at his sides, but he let out a long breath, trying to calm the anger that began to creep into his chest.Harvey muttered to himself. Along with a long exhale. “I'm late for this place, Father.” H

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

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

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

"Did you know? Something big is about to happen in Rainvale!" exclaimed a man with sparkling eyes, bowing slightly towards his two colleagues.His breathing sounded heavy with excitement. In the center of the crowded building, the three of them seemed to create a small space for their own excitement.The noise around them was ignored. They sat tightly, their faces serious yet full of anticipation."The God of War has reappeared!" the man continued, almost in a whisper but with a tone full of admiration."Huh?" The colleague next to him frowned, half in disbelief. "This is big news! We haven't heard from the God of War Kaelvarion in a long time.""It's been three years!" chimed in the third man, raising three fingers in the air as if to emphasize. "I remember very well, the last time I heard about him was three years ago. But why is he suddenly reappearing now?"The man exhaled heavily, his shoulders dropping slightly with the exhale. "I don't know," he muttered, forehead creased in do

"...I'm sorry," Vanessa whispers, her voice almost drowned out by her own breathing. Her eyes look down deeply, as if she can't bear to look at Harvey. Her fingers gripped the hem of her shirt tightly, trying to hold back the turmoil of guilt rising in her chest. "I... I misjudged you. Someone as good as you... can't be a mobster."The words came out softly, yet heavy, like a burden she was finally releasing after a long time. Vanessa took a deep breath, letting the air fill her lungs, hoping the tightness would evaporate with it.From the beginning, she realized one thing-Harvey had never treated her like an object or a medium of exchange, unlike the men she had met before, who always looked at her with hungry or ambitious eyes. Harvey, somehow, always stood between her and danger, protecting her... without asking for anything in return. For the first time, that sense of security felt real.Although Harvey was one of the investors in Q-Entertainment, Vanessa never felt she had any ex

A subtle clink was heard as two crystal glasses touched, breaking the soft silence of the night. The dim light from the chandelier bounced off the surface of the red wine, creating a warm glow between them."Cheers," Vanessa said softly, her voice husky and sweet like the whisper of the night breeze. She looked up at Harvey with a faint smile, her lips touching the rim of the glass as she took a small sip of the red liquid.Harvey raised his glass and took a slow sip, his gaze fixed on the woman before him.Vanessa took a small breath as the aroma of wine filled her chest. She placed the glass back on the glass table, her fingers still gently curled around the neck of the glass."You're right," she said, her voice a half-whisper, "it's warm."Their eyes met for a moment, and in that gaze... there was something unspoken, but deeply felt.A small smile spread across Vanessa's face, like the petals of a flower slowly opening in the evening light. Her eyes shone, reflecting the twinkling

"Ha... ha ha ha... finally! I got you!"Alvaro's laughter shattered like broken glass-loud, unstable, and full of madness. His chest heaved, fueled by an adrenaline rush that had yet to subside. With hands still sticky with blood, he shook his face as if to get rid of the remnants of the fear that had gripped him earlier.Then he opened his eyes.Smoke was still billowing from the Glock pistol in his hand. The tip of the muzzle was pointed right at Harvey's face-a face now covered in blood, with a gaping hole in his temple. The body wobbles, then falls to the floor with a silent dug that hits Alvaro hard in the ear.Alvaro stared at the scene with narrowed eyes, as if carving it into his memory. That second felt like the greatest gift of his life.His jaw hardened, then the laughter erupted again, wilder than ever."Ha... ha ha ha..."His hands clenched into fists. His shoulders rose with unstoppable laughter."HA HA HA!"Alvaro's laughter erupted, uncontrollable-loud and guttural, li

"Humph! Damn it!" Alvaro roared as he pulled the gun back, but before he could fully raise it, Harvey's hand had already slapped the weapon hard. The gun was thrown, spinning in the air before falling and bouncing on the floor with a loud clanking sound.With one hand holding Alvaro's head, Harvey pressed deeper, forcing the man's face closer to the surface of the table. Alvaro's forehead is crushed hard, almost touching the stale coffee stains that have yet to be cleaned. It's as if he's no more valuable than the dried dirt there."Don't try anything funny, Alvaro." Harvey's voice is flat, but his coldness is like ice piercing into your bones.Alvaro gritted his teeth. His face was bright red, his breathing ragged like an animal that had just been snared. His muscles tensed, trying to resist, but Harvey's pressure gave him no opening. He shook violently, not from the cold, but from the anger and panic that had accumulated together.All the muscles that were once confident now lost th
