The Great Commander Strikes Back Chapter 82
Rebecca was getting more and more frantic. Her hands gripped the steering wheel rigidly, while her foot kept pressing the brake pedal - repeatedly - to no avail. The car kept going, faster and faster, swooping sharply down the steep descent.Her heart was pounding so hard it could be felt in her ears. Her eyes searched wildly for a solution, but everything seemed impossible.“No... No!” her voice trembled, almost choking on her own breath.Ahead, a sharp bend was approaching. The car's headlights shone down on the knee-high road divider, beyond which yawned a chasm blackened in the night.Rebecca tried to turn the steering wheel to the left, hoping to reduce speed by slipping into the next lane, but the car just swerved slightly. The rear tires almost lost traction.A chill ran through her body, like ice creeping along her spine. Time seemed to slow down, every second going by so slowly as the distance to the corner dwindled.“I have to... have to do something!” Her breathing was ragg

The roar of the engine split the silence. In an instant, a black Mercedes hurtled towards them and stopped with perfect precision in front of Harvey and Rebecca.Rebecca blinked. “Another luxury car?” Even under these circumstances, Rebecca was still surprised to see such an expensive vehicle.The door opened from the inside. A well-built man, dressed in a neat black suit, came out with steady steps. His eyes widened when he saw Harvey, then his expression quickly turned stiff.“Gen-” His words trailed off, his breathing slightly labored. At first glance, her face looked tense, as if she was about to say something she shouldn't.Harvey looked at him coldly, his eyes sharp as knives. The man finally lowered his head slightly. “Master Harvey,” he corrected quickly, his voice more controlled.Joseph - as Harvey called him - stepped closer, his jaw hardening slightly. However, before he could ask, Harvey had already spoken. “I had an accident, Joseph.”His tone remained steady. Calm. But

A gentle smile was etched on the mother's face as her eyes caught Troy's figure. Without hesitation, she immediately spread her arms and hugged her son lovingly. “Oh, you've come, Troy,” she said, her voice sounding warm and full of pride.Meanwhile, Rebecca stepped closer with some hesitation. Her throat felt dry as she gulped. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the tremors in her chest, then bowed politely.“W-welcome, Father, Mother...” her voice was almost a whisper, trembling slightly.Her gaze remained downcast, but she could feel the coldness of the atmosphere surrounding her. There was no warm embrace like Troy had received, no loving welcome. Only a silence that left an uneasy feeling in his chest.Freddie Beats gave a small nod, his lips curving in a smile that seemed friendly at first glance. However, it was different with Samantha Beats-Rebecca's mother. The woman only gave a brief nod, her gaze sharp and full of judgment.Her eyes followed Rebecca from head to toe, no

“Rebecca!” Freddie bolted to his feet. His chair shifted roughly, creaking against the floor. His chest rose and fell, as if something was squeezing his heart.However, before he could take a step closer, the sound of clinking glasses stopped him in his tracks. Samantha, casually, raised the wine glass to her lips. The look in her eyes was calm, almost lazy.“Ah, darling...” Her tone was light, almost like she was discussing the weather. “There's no need to be so excited.” She casts a quick glance at Rebecca who is drooping in Harvey's arms, then lets out a long sigh, as if bored. “You know she likes to stir up trouble just to get your attention.”Samantha tilted her head slightly, her fingers twirling the glass gracefully. “This time, maybe he's just pretending to be poisoned to get you worried.” A drop of wine remained on her lips, but her thin smile did not waver in the slightest.Troy cut into his steak casually, the knife gliding smoothly through the still-red meat in the center.

Rebecca felt a strong urge from inside her body-like something was urging her out. Her throat burned, her stomach queasy. Her whole body shook violently before finally, once again, a dark red liquid gushed from her lips. Blood. A lot of it.Her body jerked as her breath caught, as if her lungs were desperately trying to resist the poison eating away at them. Cold sweat ran down his temples, while trembling hands gripped her aching chest.Freddie bolted upright from his chair, his chair sliding roughly against the floor. His eyes widened, his breathing ragged. “Why is there so much blood?” his voice was full of shock, almost panic. For the first time, her indifference began to crack.Behind her tense expression, Samantha's mind danced in contentment. Her lips may have remained sealed, but in her mind, a triumphant smile was already expanding. “Good...”Her gaze drifted towards the sprawled Rebecca, her body still twitching weakly. Blood pooled on the floor, coloring the wood a dusky re

“What the-” Troy stopped. His words hung in the air, swallowed by something bigger-fear. His heart was beating wildly, so hard it felt like it was pounding his chest from the inside. Cold sweat began to run down his temples, while his eyes widened, full of shock that he tried to hide.Harvey just glanced at her, sharp and cold. It pierced straight through him, as if skinning him without a word being said. Troy swallowed, then fell silent.Calmly, Harvey averted his gaze. Now, his eyes were on Freddie who was still wide-eyed in confusion. The man's jaw was set, but his troubled eyes couldn't lie-he was trying to digest what had just happened.Harvey finally spoke. His voice was flat, but filled with undeniable certainty. “Someone wants to get rid of Rebecca.” He glanced briefly at the girl, then back at Freddie with eyes as sharp as swords. “And afterwards, take your property, Mr. Freddie Beats.”The room felt increasingly tense. No one dared to make a sound. Only the sound of bated br

Freddie's eyes widened. He turned quickly to Rebecca, as if he had just seen his daughter in a different light. “Car accident?”Rebecca didn't answer right away. She remained silent, her jaw slightly set. Her gaze fell to the floor, as if she was sorting out the words, or perhaps swallowing back something she was reluctant to say.Harvey nodded slowly, his expression remaining cold. “The brake cable was cut.”Instantly, the air in the room tightened. Freddie was speechless. His mind was racing, trying to put together the pieces that had just been thrown in front of him. His gaze fell back on Rebecca-the girl's slightly damaged-looking clothes, the faint scratches on her arms and knees, and her being over an hour late. It all made sense now.Freddie's throat felt dry. His chest was rising and falling with his irregular breathing. This was no longer just conjecture. This was reality that had just slapped him hard.Freddie took a deep breath, trying to calm his uncontrollably beating hea

Troy gripped the bottle tightly, his eyes narrowed, full of turbulent doubts. His fingers trembled slightly, as if there was an invisible inner battle. However, in just a matter of seconds, his jaw clenched tightly, and with a sudden movement he slammed the bottle down.The bottle shattered on the floor. The shards bounced in all directions, while the liquid inside seeped onto the cold marble surface. The room was suddenly silent. All eyes were on Troy.The man's chest rose and fell, his expression turning wild. The muscles on his forehead tightened, his jaw locked, and his eyes burned with unstoppable rage.Troy turned his head sharply toward Harvey, his voice full of near explosive anger. "Why would I follow your words?" he hissed in a contemptuous tone. "You're just a stranger! How dare you order a Beats family member around like this?"He stepped forward slightly, as if to emphasize his presence. "You think I'm your servant?" he continued, his eyes flashing like a cornered animal.

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

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
