ALMIGHTY DOMINANCE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 54
Red Fang's eyes narrowed, his voice a low growl."What’s going on here, Kurt??"Kurt stammered, his confidence crumbling under the weight of Red Fang’s gaze."We… we were just dealing with some business, that’s all…"Johnson, standing off to the side, also seemed to shrink under Red Fang’s gaze.His voice was barely a whisper."We didn’t know you were here, Red Fang. Just tell us what you want."Red Fang's laugh was cold, devoid of any warmth."Fix it?" He took a step forward, his boots echoing ominously on the floor."You idiots still don’t get it, do you?"Razor, who had been standing there, hoping for some way to redeem himself, suddenly rushed forward, his hands raised in a gesture of false submission. "Please, Red Fang, please! You know we respect you. We’re just… well, we’re just following orders. Don’t hurt us. What can we do to make things right?"Red Fang's eyes turned to Razor, and without a word, he slapped him hard across the face.The sound echoed throughout the room, a

“Master Fang, it—” Razor began, but the sound of Red Fang’s palm striking his face reverberated across the courtyard.Razor stumbled backward, clutching his cheek, his eyes wide with shock.“Shut up,” Red Fang snarled, his voice like a blade cutting through the air.“You’re not even worth my attention.”The tension thickened as Red Fang turned his sharp gaze toward Max.What happened next stunned everyone.Red Fang lowered his head and greeted Max with a bow, his voice carrying an unexpected reverence.“Young Master Montgomery, I’ve arrived late. Please forgive me,” Red Fang said, his tone dripping with respect.Gasps rippled through the crowd.Kurt and Razor exchanged panicked glances, their bravado crumbling into terror.The realization struck them like a thunderbolt—Max wasn’t a lowly nobody as they had thought. He was the heir of the Montgomery family.“Wh-what?!” Kurt stammered, his voice cracking.“He’s... he’s a Montgomery?!”Razor fell to his knees, trembling.“Master Fang, we
ALMIGHTY DOMINANCE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 56
The yard was filled with tension as Razor, Kurt, and two other men knelt before Max, trembling in fear.Red Fang stood nearby, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, awaiting orders.Razor, desperate to save himself, pointed a shaking finger at Kurt.“It’s all his fault, Master Max! I was only following Kurt’s orders! I swear, I didn’t want to harm anyone… especially not Miss Emily! Please believe me!”Kurt’s face twisted in rage.“You coward! You’re lying! You were just as involved as the rest of us!”Max’s cold, piercing gaze silenced them both. He stepped forward, his voice low and menacing.“Razor, you think throwing Kurt under the bus will save you? Do you think I care who gave the orders? You touched Emily. You tortured her. And for that, there’s only one outcome.”Razor’s eyes widened in terror as Max motioned to Red Fang.Without hesitation, Red Fang drew his blade, the sharp edge glinting in the sunlight.“No! Please!” Razor screamed, falling to his knees.“Master Max, I’

Kurt’s phone buzzed in his pocket.He fumbled it out with shaking hands, and when he saw the caller ID—his father—his stomach twisted in knots.Reluctantly, he answered, his voice weak. “D-Dad?”The voice on the other end was a roar of fury.“You stupid, useless brat! Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”Kurt flinched, his face contorting in fear.“Dad, I… I didn’t mean—”“Shut up!” his father bellowed.“You’ve ruined us! RUINED! Do you know who you dared to offend? Max Montgomery! The Montgomery heir! What were you thinking, you imbecile?”Kurt’s eyes darted toward Max, whose cold, calculating gaze was fixed on him.His father’s words cut like a knife, but there was no defense he could muster.“Dad, I didn’t know,” Kurt stammered.“If I’d known, I wouldn’t have—”“‘Didn’t know’?” his father snarled.“Didn’t know?! Is that supposed to fix anything? Our stocks are being sold off at lightning speed. All our partnerships terminated! Our company is bankrupt! Even beggars on the street
ALMIGHTY DOMINANCE LOST HEIR CHAPTER 58
The tension in the courtyard was palpable as Max stood tall, his gaze cold and merciless.Kurt, still groveling on the ground, dared to lift his head slightly, but Red Fang’s glare sent him crumbling back into submission.“Master Max,” Red Fang said, his voice like a blade slicing through the silence.“This man doesn’t deserve forgiveness. He deserves punishment—and nothing less.”Max’s lips curled into a smirk, devoid of any warmth.“Forgiveness?” he repeated, his tone laced with mockery.“Forgiveness is a luxury you don’t deserve, Kurt. You dared to torture Emily. Did you think I would simply let it slide? No. Regret comes too late for you.”Kurt whimpered, his hands clasped together as he begged.“Master Max, please! I… I didn’t mean to… I…”“Silence!” Max snapped, his voice like thunder.“You meant every bit of it when you were laughing at her pain. Now, you’ll pay the price.”Turning to Red Fang, Max spoke with icy resolve. “I want him to feel the same pain Emily endured. No les

Max stood by the hospital window, his gaze fixed on the city lights.The butler approached hesitantly, bowing slightly before speaking.“Master Max, I’ve just spoken with the doctors,” the butler said.“Miss Emily is still in a coma. There’s no immediate change in her condition.”Max’s jaw tightened, his eyes darkening with frustration.“She’s been through enough. Make sure the hospital staff prioritizes her care. I don’t want any mistakes.”“Of course, sir,” the butler replied.“I’ve arranged for the best medical team to oversee her recovery.”Max gave a curt nod, his tone softening slightly.“Good. She deserves nothing less.”Just then, Max’s phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen, recognizing the number immediately.It was his grandfather.“Max,” his grandfather’s stern voice came through the line.“The banquet isn’t over yet. Where are you?”Max sighed, rubbing his temple.“I had urgent matters to attend to, Grandfather. I’ll return shortly.”“Urgent matters?” his grandfather repe

MAX's grandfather, Patriarch Gerard, sat behind a massive oak desk, the weight of his decisions bearing down on him.His fingers lightly tapped on the surface of the desk, his mind racing.The decision had been made—Max would remain in the shadows for now.Across from him, his trusted advisor, Victor, stood with his arms crossed, waiting for the final word.“We cannot announce Max as the heir yet,” Gerard said, his voice low but firm.Victor raised an eyebrow.“But Patriarch, the entire family has been expecting the announcement. The other branches are getting restless. They want to know who will lead after you.”Gerard’s gaze remained steady, his fingers stilling on the desk.“The other branches can wait. What I need to know is who is plotting against him.”Victor frowned, his face hardening.“You suspect someone inside the family?”“I suspect that whoever is behind this has been carefully orchestrating things for a long time. It's not just about Max,” Gerard murmured, his voice ting

The grand dining hall was filled with the hum of conversation and clinking glasses, the air thick with the scent of lavish dishes.The Montgomery family’s annual gala was in full swing, the most prestigious event of the year.Patrons from the richest families in the country were present, all gathered under the gleaming chandeliers, dressed in their finest attire.Despite the tension hanging in the air regarding Max’s uncertain future, the dinner couldn’t be canceled—not with so many influential people present.At the head of the table, Patriarch Gerard Montgomery stood tall, his gaze sweeping over the room.The family’s most powerful allies were seated in the front, and Max, who had been instructed to remain in the background, was sitting quietly in a corner, his face hidden in the shadows of the grand room.No one knew who he truly was.Gerard cleared his throat, raising his glass.The noise in the room died down almost immediately as everyone turned to face him.“My dear friends,” G

The air inside the safehouse felt heavier than before, thick with the weight of something unseen but inevitable.Molly sat at her workstation, fingers flying across the keyboard, decrypting the final fragments of the intercepted transmission. Her screen flickered with waves of broken data—scattered messages, security keys, lines of corrupted code waiting to be unraveled.And then, the pieces snapped together.Her breath hitched.“Max…” Her voice was barely above a whisper.Max, standing a few feet away, straightened at the tone. Elliot and Red Fang exchanged glances but said nothing.Molly turned to them, eyes wide. “The Architects weren’t the final level of power.”Silence.Elliot frowned. “What do you mean?”Molly’s fingers hovered over the keyboard. “They weren’t the top. They were just a branch.”Max stepped forward, his stomach knotting. “A branch of what?”Molly exhaled slowly. “Something bigger. Something older.”She pressed a final key, and the decrypted file came to life.A l
CHAPTER 198
The world had been reset.For the first time in centuries, The Architects were gone.Their hidden empire had collapsed. Their leaders were dead. The global order they had spent generations carefully constructing now lay in ashes.But power never disappeared.It only changed hands.And now, it belonged to Max Montgomery.Max stood in the wreckage of what had once been his grandfather’s private estate—the true heart of The Architects. Smoke still curled from the shattered walls, the distant glow of fires still burning in the remains of a world that had operated in secret for too long.The war was over.But victory tasted bitter.Behind him, Elliot leaned against a cracked marble column, flipping a combat knife between his fingers. His eyes never left Max.“So, Max… what now?”Max didn’t answer.Because deep down, he knew the truth.He had spent months fighting for freedom, dismantling the hidden forces that had controlled history from the shadows.But now?Now, he was standing at the to
CHAPTER 197
The world had changed.The Architects had fallen. Their empire, once untouchable, was now reduced to whispers of a forgotten order.And at the center of it all stood Max Montgomery.His name was spoken in the halls of power, in the backrooms of governments, in the dark corridors of what remained of The Architects’ shattered network.Some called him a hero.Others called him a monster.But no one questioned the truth anymore.Max Montgomery was the most powerful man alive.And the world… was waiting for his next move.Max stood in the remains of his grandfather’s estate, staring out at the city beyond. The storm had passed, but the air was still thick with the weight of everything that had happened.Elliot sat nearby, flipping a knife between his fingers. “You did it.”Max didn’t respond.Because he didn’t feel like he had won.Red Fang leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “So what happens now?”Max exhaled slowly. “Now?” He turned, his expression unreadable. “Now, we find out what’s
CHAPTER 196
Max exhaled sharply. “Built it?” His voice was laced with bitter disbelief. “You’ve manipulated the world from the shadows. You’ve rewritten history to suit your own interests.”His grandfather turned to face him. “And what do you think I was doing it for?”Max’s jaw tightened.His grandfather smiled, just slightly. “For you.”The words struck harder than any bullet.Max barely kept his expression controlled. “Don’t insult me.”His grandfather tilted his head. “Why do you think you were allowed to get this far?”The implication was clear.Max’s blood ran cold. “You’re saying I was a pawn?”His grandfather took a slow step forward. “I’m saying you were a test.”Max’s stomach twisted.It had never been about stopping The Architects.It had been about shaping him into something else.“You played the game well,” his grandfather continued. “I was watching. Waiting to see if you could survive.”Max shook his head, his voice quiet, dangerous. “Survive what?”His grandfather’s smile faded. “T
CHAPTER 195
The storm raged outside the hidden estate, the wind howling through the trees like a warning. Rain lashed against the stone walls, thunder rumbling across the sky.But Max barely noticed.His focus was on the man waiting inside.His grandfather.The man who had once been nothing more than a ghost in family history. A quiet presence, always watching from the sidelines. A man Max had barely given thought to—until now.Until he realized he had been the enemy all along.Max shoved the heavy doors open, stepping into the dimly lit hall of the estate. The old-world architecture stood firm, untouched by time. Just like the man who had built it.At the far end of the room, seated in an old leather chair beside a roaring fire, was his grandfather.A man who had spent decades manipulating history.A man who had just declared war against his own blood.Max exhaled sharply. “Built it?” His voice was laced with bitter disbelief. “You’ve manipulated the world from the shadows. You’ve rewritten hist
CHAPTER 194
Max’s stomach twisted. He forced himself to speak, his voice eerily calm.“Tell me this is a mistake.”Molly swallowed. “It’s not.”The Architects’ new leader. The one who had replaced Max before he even had a chance to destroy them.His grandfather.Silence fell over the room.Elliot let out a low curse. “Damn.”Red Fang ran a hand through his hair. “Didn’t see that coming.”Max clenched his jaw, his breath slow, controlled. This wasn’t just betrayal. This was war.His grandfather—the man who had disappeared from his life years ago. The man he had barely thought about beyond the occasional whispers of a family legacy he never wanted.And now?That man was leading The Architects.Elliot leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “Alright. Let’s break this down. Your grandfather is now running the most dangerous organization in the world. And none of us saw it coming.”Molly tapped at her screen, pulling up historical files. “It makes sense, though. Your grandfather had old money, influenc
CHAPTER 193
Max circled him slowly, his thoughts racing. Specter wasn’t just a fighter. He was a tactician.This wasn’t just physical combat—it was psychological warfare.Specter was reading him, watching for any hesitation, any opening.But Max had spent months inside The Architects’ world.And now, he understood them.He had spent so long pretending to be one of them that he had learned how they thought.And that was how he was going to win.Specter lunged again, this time going for pressure points. Max barely avoided the strike to his carotid artery, countering with a feint of his own—letting Specter think he had an opening.Specter took the bait.And in that split second—Max struck.A vicious, brutal uppercut to the ribs, followed by a palm strike to the throat.Specter stumbled.For the first time, Max saw hesitation.He pressed the attack, slamming Specter backward against a rusted metal beam. His gun was out in a blink, pressed against Specter’s temple.Breathing hard, Max had him.Specter
CHAPTER 192
Molly froze.Max went rigid.The server displays distorted, lines of code scrambling, their secure systems being overridden in real-time.Max’s blood went cold. Specter wasn’t just watching. He was already inside.“Max,” Molly whispered. “He knows.”The realization hit hard.Specter had let them think they were playing him.But they were the ones walking into the trap.Max reached for his gun just as the power cut out. Total blackout.A single emergency light flickered red.“Molly, MOVE—”The door exploded inward.Smoke. Silence.A figure moved through the chaos like a ghost.Then—pain.Max barely registered the impact before he crashed to the ground, vision flashing white as a sharp, precise strike caught him behind the ribs.Specter.Max rolled, gun raised, but the room was empty.Molly was gone.The Message That Changed EverythingMax forced himself to stand, heart pounding, scanning the wreckage of the safehouse. Specter hadn’t killed him.That meant he wanted something else.Then
CHAPTER 191
Specter wanted him to feel hunted.That was his first mistake.Because Max Montgomery never played the prey.Max had spent his life dismantling the most powerful players in the world, outmaneuvering warlords, governments, and intelligence agencies that thought they were invincible.Specter might have been the Architects’ greatest weapon, but he had never hunted someone like Max.And Max had no intention of waiting to see what happened next.If Specter was going to play a game, then Max was going to change the rules.Max had spent years tracking people. Governments, syndicates, warlords—he had studied them, infiltrated them, and dismantled them from the inside.But now, he was the one being hunted.Specter wasn’t just observing him anymore. He was inside the walls, inside the game.Every step Max took, every encrypted message he sent, every coded conversation—Specter was there. Watching. Calculating. Waiting for Max to make a mistake.And Max knew one thing with certainty:Specter didn
