The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 54-1
Harvey raised one eyebrow slowly, a small movement that felt like a sharp warning. His lips formed a thin line, as if every word that would come out had to be chosen carefully. He stared at the woman with sharp piercing eyes, like a gust of cold wind hitting the skin. The air felt heavy, making the woman jerk back half a step.“Excuse me?” he said in a low but stressful tone, as if each syllable contained a hidden threat. “I don't know who you are and your words are too harsh.”Harvey turned his face away, his gaze falling on the flashing digital numbers near the elevator button. He stood straight, barely moving, with a flat expression that left no room for pleasantries. His breathing remained regular, as if whatever was happening around him was none of his business.“I don't have time to watch movies,” he said quietly, yet coldly, like a blade of ice against skin.On the other hand, Emma felt the nape of her neck crawl. Something about the man's voice made her heart beat faster than

“Killian, you're too slow!”Choi sighed loudly, glaring at his young companion who was hobbling around carrying a tool bag. His face looked impatient, one hand on his waist, while his head tilted to the side, staring at Killian as if the man had just made a fatal mistake. “Hurry up! The people in the elevator must be panicking!”Killian, a young technician who had only been on the job for ten days, broke into an awkward little trot. His breathing was slightly labored, and cold sweat began to break out on his temples. Arriving in front of Choi, he grinned hesitantly, his fingers scratching the back of his head. “Sorry, Mr. Choi. I went to the restroom first.”Choi closed his eyes for a moment, then let out a long breath like a tired parent dealing with a wayward child. With a resigned expression, he just shook his head lightly. “Never mind, hurry up! The elevator is on the fourth floor. If they panic, we'll get sprayed first.”The two of them broke into a small run towards the elevator

Harvey raised both eyebrows, looking at the woman before him with interest. Earlier, the woman had been rude to him, even accusing him baselessly. However, now there was something different in the look in her eyes. The apology sounded sincere.Harvey let silence fill the distance between them. His gaze fell on Emma's hands clenched tightly at her sides-as if summoning up great courage to do this.A faint smile lifted the corners of Harvey's lips. He nodded lightly. “No problem.”Without another word, Harvey turned around, stepping towards the stairs leading to the basement. His business in this hotel was done. However, after only a few steps, a trembling voice stopped him.“M-Mr...”Harvey turned around, finding Emma standing hesitantly, her lips trembling slightly.“Is... is it okay?” her voice was soft, almost drowned out in the small clink of the air conditioner running in the hallway. “I... accused you of a crime. You must be... hurt.”Harvey frowned, a subtle crease appearing bet

Emma is now sitting quietly on the sofa, which Harvey has lent her from the hotel staff. Her body drooped limply, her head resting on the pillow, as if the heavy burden of thoughts could no longer be borne. Her hands clasped her temples, trying to hold back the pain that came so deeply. The incident earlier was still very clear in her mind, shadowing every corner of her mind, leaving her with a raging fear.Harvey wasted no time. Quickly, he brought her to this room, instructing the hotel staff to give her a place to rest. An attack from a stalker would obviously be in the media spotlight, and Harvey decided to keep things under wraps. He told the hotel staff not to reveal anything about this incident, unless he got Emma's permission first. After all, Emma Wilson, an actress on the rise to fame, could not be allowed to become a distracting news item.Moments later, a bespectacled man entered the room with hurried steps. His face was filled with worry as he approached Emma. “Emma! Are

The gentle sea breeze hit Harvey's face as he stepped onto the upper deck of the yacht. The night was calm, accompanied only by the sound of the waves breaking against the hull. In the distance, the moonlight and ship lights created a sparkle on the surface of the swimming pool water, making it look like a liquid gem.Some passengers lounged on sun loungers, some with drinks in hand, enjoying the warm evening. Jazz music flowed softly from the nearby bar, mixing with the faint laughter of the guests chatting casually.Harvey scanned the surroundings before finally choosing a seat by the pool. As he sat down, a feeling of relaxation slowly crept over his body. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, letting his fingers play on the screen while enjoying the peaceful night atmosphere.Harvey leaned his back against the chair, the screen of his phone reflecting a soft light on his face. His eyes caught a news story with Emma Wilson's picture on it. The actress had landed a new movie p

The youngsters glared at Harvey. Their laughter soon turned to anger. Their faces turned red like iron on fire. Their blood seemed to rise to their heads and made their hearts pump rapidly.At that moment Ren violently pushed the table in front of him. Clanking sounds echoed in the room as glasses and plates fell to the floor. All the expensive-looking food and drinks were now discarded, becoming useless items.Slowly, Ren folded his arms across his chest. What Harvey did made him angry as well as the ego inside him rise. He looked at Harvey with his eyes wide open and the bottom of his eyes twitching several times.“You shrimp brains!” Ren snapped in a high tone. His words were sharp like a knife ready to shred. “How dare you mess with us. You ruined our food program!”Harevy slowly looked at the messy floor. The high-level food and drinks had been wasted due to his own actions, but he was accusing Harvey of doing it. What this young man did was like hitting a mirror because he could

Harvey was not fazed at all. He stood there quietly as the boys began to take their positions. Yugo himself was ready to press the button with his tilted cell phone.Ren and his friends grinned happily. It was as if their veins of fear of older people disappeared. Jin was even keeping an eye out between them so that the others wouldn't get involved with this incident.Ren folded his arms in front of his chest, he tilted his body and grunted with a smile. “We will humiliate you. People of your generation won't stand against the strength of a younger generation like me.”Harvey furrowed his brows as he nodded slowly. It was as if he was listening without absorbing it at all. The bluff they gave him didn't really hit home. Quietly, he glanced at the cell phone in Yugo's hand. “You might get into serious trouble if you act like this,” Harvey said in a flat tone. However, it was a warning to the five of them.Ren's eyes opened wide again. A look that implied burning hatred. “Trouble? You'r

“Hey! What's going on?” Yugo's voice was shrill, almost trembling. Cold sweat ran down the back of his neck, making his hair stand up. He swallowed, his eyes moving restlessly in all directions, as if searching for an explanation of what was happening. He shook the phone several times, even tapping it with his sweaty palms. His breathing was ragged, his chest rising and falling as fear crept into his mind. His eyes widened, staring at the screen that remained black as if refusing to turn back on. “Shit!” His heart was beating faster and faster. “Come on!” his voice almost broke, his fingers trembling as he pressed the power button again. “Why is my phone screen black?”Ren turned to his friend. His forehead wrinkled in astonishment that his friend was busy tapping the phone instead of recording the action. “What are you doing, Yugo? You have to record our live stream.”Yugo swallowed. His eyebrows furrowed with panic-stricken eyes. “I don't know, Ren. All of a sudden my phone went da

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
