The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 23-2
Breathing heavily, Wade opened the door to his house, then shut it tightly. He immediately locked it like a man being chased by a ghost.With a pale face and cold sweat pouring down his face, he backed away slowly. He hesitantly kept his eyes on the door as he swallowed. “He didn't follow me, did he?”“What are you doing, Wade?” The call startled Wade, as if someone was pointing a gun at him from behind. Wade frantically turned around and started to run. However, he immediately canceled his intention when he saw the figure who had just called him. It turned out to be a man in his 50s. The owner of this house, Jullian Comber.Wade immediately leaned his back against the door limply, while exhaling a long breath. His eyes were closed and his face was exhausted, as if he had been holding his breath since before. “Ah... it was you, Dad. You surprised me.”The frown on Julian's forehead deepened as wonder crept into his mind. With slow, dignified steps the man approached Wade. He could va

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

“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

“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

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

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 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

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

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
