The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 45
Neuron tilted his head, his eyebrows slightly raised, while the corners of his lips curled downward. His eyes were sharp, tracing Harvey's face, searching for an unspoken answer. “So, you're back in the military?” he said, his tone cold, without the slightest trace of respect. A small frown appeared on his forehead, and his eyes narrowed, as if trying to penetrate Harvey's layers of secrets. The air between them felt heavy, as if the question was more like an accusation hanging in the air.Harvey slowly shakes his head, his movements steady, without any hesitation. “No,” he said in a low tone, yet full of certainty. “I just want to enjoy the quiet.”He looked up, letting his eyes linger on the vast blue sky. There, the clouds moved slowly, as if erasing the gloomy shadows of the past. A gentle breeze swept across his face, bringing a peaceful scent that was so foreign to him. In the past, a sky like this was just a decoration that he didn't have time to notice amidst the roar of order
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 46
“Oh...” muttered Neuron, his voice barely audible amongst the low buzz of the bar. His eyes were glued to the woman's figure, not blinking as if afraid of missing the slightest detail. The woman was so alluring-an elegant dress that fit perfectly on her body, wavy blonde hair that fell perfectly on her shoulders, shimmering under the dim bar lights.A faint smile played across Neuron's lips, his expression hard to guess, like someone hiding a joke behind his face. Slowly, he leaned closer to Harvey, his breath almost touching his friend's ear. “Look, there's a beautiful woman greeting you,” he whispered softly, in a teasing tone. “You need to move on quickly. She's obviously interested in you, I can see it in the way she looks.”Harvey remained silent, not giving the slightest response to Neuron's words. It was as if the words were just wind passing by without meaning. Calmly, he raised his glass, swirled the contents slightly, then took a slow sip of Warrior's Blood. The scent of che

Neuron furrowed his brow, his eyes narrowed as if trying to understand the situation. He leaned closer, until his voice was just audible to Harvey. “Is this what you call a quiet life?” he whispered, with a sharp sarcastic tone. “It's more like a bullying stage.”Harvey didn't answer immediately. He just sipped his drink calmly, as if nothing could shake his mood. Finally, he brought his face a little closer, his voice low but firm. “I don't like being conspicuous.”That answer left Neuron speechless for a moment, staring at Harvey like someone who had just heard an unsolvable riddle. He pulled his face back, his brow furrowing further. Neuron just let out a long breath, his sigh sounding like someone giving up in the face of chaos. “Suit yourself,” he muttered as he leaned back in the chair, choosing not to engage further.Vania's loud laughter broke the atmosphere, her tone full of mockery. Without warning, she picked up the bottle of Warrior's Blood that was on the table, then del

With slow but firm movements, Harvey glanced at Vania who was still holding up her smartphone. He took a good look at it, as it was still recording this incident. She was literally waiting for Harvey to drop his face at her feet.Harvey then raised his hand casually, then turned to the bartender. His gaze was relaxed and confident. As if nothing could stop him. “Bartender, bring us three bottles of the most expensive drink,” Harvey said casually.Vania's eyes widened, her blood seemed to rise and stop in her neck. Her breathing became labored as if the air was stifling her. She gulped down her saliva. “You're crazy, aren't you? What were you thinking? You even ordered three bottles of that drink! Chris, he's not using his brain properly. Now do you know why Whitley doesn't like this guy? Because he does not have brain at all!”Chris slammed his hand on the table, he glared at Harvey as he gulped. “Hey! Didn't you hear me? The price is seven million dollars. Not seven dollars! Use your
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 49
Vania jerked back, her body almost losing its balance as a loud noise pierced the air, accompanied by broken glass bottles scattering around her feet. Her scream was shrill, breaking the silence. The acrid smell of wine wafted over her, mixing with the panic that suddenly overcame her.Her eyes widened at the sight of the red puddle spilling out on the floor, mixing with the shimmering glass. Chris' body drooped on the floor, his face grimacing in pain as he held the side of his body that was probably injured.Vania's heart was racing, as if it wanted to jump out of her chest. Without thinking, she crouched down beside Chris, her hands shaking as she tried to pull him to his feet. “Chris! Are you okay?” her voice trembled, anxiety mixed with fear.Chris's eyes were glued to the four bottles shattered to pieces on the floor, a pool of luxurious crimson liquid spreading like an unforgivable sin stain. The figure of 35 million dollars instantly flashed through his mind, making his head f

Vania's scream echoed, breaking the atmosphere of the bar. Her face was instantly pale, as if her blood had receded to her feet. She staggered backwards, her hands tightly clutching her small bag, while her eyes alternately glanced at Harvey and Chris. Occasionally, she closed her eyes as if she couldn't see what was in front of her.Chris writhed on the floor, his body trembling from the pain radiating from the hand that was now bent at an unnatural angle. His breathing was short, and his face was flushed, not with anger anymore, but the pain that pierced every nerve. She tried to sit up, but her head throbbed violently, making her world spin.Trembling, Vania raised her hand, pointing at Harvey who had just stood up in a cold manner. Tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes, but not from sadness-more from fear mixed with anger. “Y-you! You bastard!” her voice trembled at first before screeching with emotion. “You bastard! What the hell are you doing? You've made a big mista

Chris gawked as his forehead furrowed into a crease. Doubt seemed to hang in the air, making Chris freeze. A moment later he shook his head with a hesitant grin. "No, no, Uncle Chad. Uncle Chad must have made a mistake," Chris said, breathing heavily. His eyes glanced sharply at Harvey, narrowing his eyes slightly as he found this atmosphere quite strange. "There's no way Harvey is the one who helped you, right?" In that atmosphere, Harvey only smiled faintly. It was so thin that a mysterious air seemed to haunt the room. Harvey's presence seemed solid even though Chris didn't know what wall he was on. Chris' mind drifted to remembering that his uncle had once told him that his uncle had saved his life when he was robbed by an unknown person. The robber had a gun, and Chad almost lost his life. However, a young man came and helped Chad. The man beat the robber and then helped Chad. Chad felt he owed the man his life. He promised to always remember him and would help him if he ever
The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 51-2
Chad clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His breath caught in his throat, and his eyes, which now seemed to tremble, looked at Chris as if trying to penetrate his mind. “You...” His voice broke, sounding hoarse as if he was holding back a lump of anger in his chest. “You destroyed all the bottles of Angel's Ale?”The room seemed to freeze. The noise from the bar faded away, leaving only the tension between them. Chris fell silent, his back stiffening like a wall about to collapse. He tried to find words, but his tongue was tongue-tied.“Answer!” Chad rebuked in a booming voice. The echo of his snarl swept through the bar, making everyone there hold their breath. His face, with its wrinkles of age, now radiated a disappointment that could not be hidden.Chris looked down, his gaze fixed on the floor sticky with spilled drinks. His lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if the burden hanging in

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

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
