The Almighty Dominance Chapter 114
Four black vans thundered onto the street like a posse riding in at high noon.They skidded to a stop, pinning Jasmine’s limousine from the front and rear.About twenty men poured out, each one armed to the teeth and hiding behind masks. Their leader—burly, tatted up, and mean as a rattlesnake—stepped right up to the window, pounding on the glass with his fist. “Both of you get out, or we’ll blow this tin can to pieces!” he snarled. Inside the limo, Jasmine’s face went pale. The driver looked just as rattled. “Driver,” came Alex’s calm voice. “Y-yes?” the driver stammered, too stunned to keep his voice steady. “I hear this car’s sound system can rattle bones. Mind turnin’ it up to full blast?” Alex leaned back, eyes half-lidded like he hadn’t a care in the world. The driver blinked. “What?” ‘Is this fella crazy?’ he thought. ‘Bullets are spraying outside, and he wants music?’“Classical, if you’ve got it,” Alex added, letting his eyes fall closed. Jasmine watched him, her own
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 115
Suddenly, there was only silence in the car.The four black vans had already driven away in a hurry, leaving their friends' bodies sprawled on the asphalt.The surrounding cars, whose drivers had witnessed the scene, stayed far away, unwilling to get involved."Hey, driver," Alex called out. "Don’t you think it’s time to move out? What are you waiting for?"The driver, who had been enjoying the music accompanying his journey to the afterlife, slowly opened his eyes and glanced around.A jolt of shock ran through him. The obstruction that had once blocked his path was gone."Yes, yes, Sir."He hastily pushed the pedal, and as the car started moving, it bumped slightly—rolling over the bodies on the road.Jasmine stared out of the window, her eyes lost in the blue sky and the rows of passing houses."Don’t you want to ask who they were?" Alex asked, breaking the heavy silence."Not really," Jasmine replied, her voice soft but dismissive."They’re like cockroaches—keep coming after me. H

For the first time in her life, Sophia felt a weight in her chest she couldn’t quite name.She stood there, rooted to the spot, staring at a woman who had been born into wealth—someone who’d likely never experienced a single day of real hardship.And that woman was standing by Sophia’s ex-husband’s side.It hit her like a slow, aching punch.The man who had once been hers now belonged to someone else.She didn’t think she loved Alex anymore—did she?—yet watching him move on so quickly still stung, a harsh reminder of just how easily she’d been cast aside.Sophia tried to steady herself, but her eyes slid toward the woman beside him.Jasmine.The sight of her sparked an awkward, throbbing ache in Sophia’s chest.It wasn’t exactly jealousy, but it was close. She caught the assessing look in Jasmine’s gaze—a flicker of cool curiosity that made Sophia feel dissected.Then Jasmine’s posture shifted, her shoulders squaring, as if silently declaring her territory.“Alex, who is this woman?”

Alex’s expression remained calm, almost bored."Don’t worry about me. What I do is none of your concern.”Marco’s lip curled in disdain. “I figured. Better to bluff your way in than admit you don’t belong.”His voice softened as he turned to Jasmine, an oily charm coating his words.“Listen, sweetheart, let me save you the headache. Don’t be fooled by this guy—Alex is no trust-fund prince. He’s got nothing, and he sure as hell doesn’t deserve a woman like you.”In Marco’s mind, there was no way a rich, beautiful woman like Jasmine would willingly choose a down-on-his-luck man like Alex.He had to have tricked her—what other explanation could there be?But Jasmine’s laughter rang out—loud, unrestrained, and entirely unladylike.It was the kind of laugh that made everyone in the room turn their heads.It was as if she’d just heard the punchline of the funniest joke in the world.Tears pricked the corners of her eyes as she struggled to catch her breath.She borrowed a billion dollars fr

"Fine. So, this is how it ends."Sophia’s voice wavered, fragile yet determined, but his distant, unrecognizable gaze felt like the final, unspoken goodbye.A bittersweet ache unfurled in her chest.He had come into her life like an uninvited storm—disrupting everything—and now, he was leaving just as unexpectedly, at the worst possible time.Perhaps the only choice left was to let him go, to let his memory dissolve like a fading dream at dawn.“Sure,” Alex said, managing to keep his expression blank, though something deep inside him gave a sharp, uneasy twinge.He told himself there was no point in chasing after a woman who continually pushed him aside.Sophia had never truly trusted him anyway—maybe separation would be best for them both.“Ms. Lancaster…” Jasmine’s silken voice cut through the tension as she stepped forward with a sweet-but-not-so-innocent smile.“Your decision might’ve been a little foolish, but I have to say—thank you.”Sophia gave her a sideways look. “And what e

As time passed, the number of guests steadily grew in the grand Vancouver Convention Centre.Though the banquet event had yet to officially begin, Jasmine was already moving briskly between tasks.“Mr. Alex, feel free to look around. I have to excuse myself. You can ask anyone here if you need anything,” she said with a composed smile.“Alright. Thanks,” Alex replied.Jasmine turned to her event manager with a sharp gaze.“Mr. Howard, please keep a close eye on Mr. Alex. He is the most important guest for me. Whatever he wants, you treat it as my direct command. Don’t you dare make a mistake in front of him.”The older man straightened immediately and gave a respectful bow. “Yes, Miss Jasmine. I will treat him as if he were your husband.”Jasmine bit her lip and smiled widely. “Good. I’ll raise your salary by 25%.”“Thank you very much.” His tone was brimming with gratitude, though it was clear he knew exactly how to win favor.Alex rolled his eyes but let the old man guide him through

The manager, Howard, turned to Alex and smiled warmly. “Yes, this man doesn’t have an invitation...” he wanted to continue ‘but he doesn’t need one—'Before he could finish, Megan interrupted, her voice rising.“If he doesn’t have an invitation, don’t you think you should do your job and kick him out? Call the guards and get him out of here!”Howard’s smile faded as his expression turned serious.“Could you please clarify,” he asked dryly, “which part of his body you’d like us to kick?”Megan crossed her arms, her eyes blazing. “Kick his butt out of this place!”Howard sighed and calmly used his walkie-talkie. “Security, there’s an issue in back area. Please come here.”Megan’s grin widened triumphantly. “Hey loser, you’d better leave now before they drag you out and humiliate you. Don’t you feel scared yet?” she taunted.Alex still sitting and took another slow sip of his wine, completely unfazed.When the two burly guards arrived, Megan jabbed her finger at Alex. “He’s the one. Get r

Howard swept back into the banquet hall with a self-assured stride, Sophia, Megan, and Marco tagging along behind him like a trio of dutiful followers.By this point, most seats were taken, save for the last few at Alex’s table, shoved right into the dingy corner of the room.Left with no other option, they joined Alex once more, looking like they’d just been sentenced to do time.Determined to pretend he didn’t exist, they sank into their chairs.Megan leaned over, her excitement barely contained.“Oh my God, Marco, you totally pulled it off! That was incredible!”Sophia’s expression softened in gratitude as she looked at Marco.“Yes. We owe it all to Mr. Ashford. If it weren’t for his help, we wouldn’t be here.”Megan threw Alex a cutting glare, resentment flaring in her eyes.She still hadn’t forgotten how he’d supposedly ruined their day.“Exactly! Mr. Ashford is so damn talented he solved our issue with a single phone call! Unlike some people.”Marco flashed a modest grin, though

Alex stood in the dimly lit alley, arms stiff at his sides, completely paralyzed by Jasmine’s audacious invitation.She stood inches from him, eyes squeezed shut, lips pursed like she was about to deliver the world’s most exasperated kiss.“Are you kidding me right now?” he blurted, heart hammering. “What’s wrong with your mouth? Need me to check or something?”Jasmine cracked an eye open, her mouth twisting into a smirk that sparkled with wicked amusement.“I’m letting you kiss me, genius,” she muttered. “Don’t tell me you’re too thickheaded to figure that out.”Alex’s jaw dropped.He was sure he looked like a landed fish gasping for air.“You’re messing with me,” he rasped, eyes darting away. “This can’t be good.”Jasmine rolled her eyes so hard he half expected to hear a clicking sound. “It’s not my fault you’re clueless. I’m practically giving it away here.”“…”“Look,” Jasmine hissed, leaning in closer, to Alex “I’m doing this once. And if you don’t take it now, then consider tha

Henry stood tall, even though his knees were practically quivering under Alex’s gaze.Pride wouldn’t let him back down. After all, if he caved now, he’d never live it down.“Kill me? Seriously, pal? What, you think you’re some hotshot assassin?” Henry spat, his chest heaving.“Let me tell you something: You so much as graze me the wrong way, and your body’s gonna be nothing but confetti.”Alex cocked an eyebrow, then smacked Henry in the back of the head hard enough to make him stagger.The force felt like a semi-truck plowing through Henry’s skull.“Confetti, huh?” Alex sneered, stepping closer.“I just about rattled your brain, and guess what? I’m still breathing. Look, you threatened my family, so everything’s fair game now. Ready to die? I can make that happen—no problem.”Henry stumbled, heart pounding.He could practically taste death in the air, and it was nothing like his empty bluster.Dropping to his knees, he swallowed his shame as if it were a knife scraping down his throa

A flicker of moonlight glanced off Alex’s eyes as he loomed over Raymond, whose entire body quaked in terror.One arm dangled uselessly, shattered by Alex’s impossible strength.Cold sweat rolled down Raymond’s temples, the pain shooting through his bones in relentless waves.He couldn’t wrap his mind around it.How had this young man crippled him so swiftly—so effortlessly? With a flick?“W-who are you?” Raymond choked out, voice raw with panic.All his life, he’d amassed power and influence, yet here he was, reduced to a groveling mess by a single young man’s might.Alex’s expression was ice-cold. “You know who I am, Raymond. Stop pretending otherwise.”Every nerve in Raymond’s body screamed in agony.He tried scrambling backward like a wounded animal, breath heaving.“I—I don’t need the miracle pills formula. Just let me go!”“I offered you a chance,” Alex said evenly, his voice hollow. “You spat on it. Now, there’s no going back.”Raymond opened his mouth to plead again, but Alex’

Henry Dupont’s voice cut through the room like the crack of a whip.“Raymond, don’t get ahead of yourself. If you want my father’s backing, there are two conditions. First, provide the miracle pill in a steady supply. Second, prove your loyalty—beyond a shadow of doubt. Understood?”Raymond nodded, swallowing his annoyance. “I understand, Mr. Dupont.”He needed the support of Chicago’s Dupont family— one of the five ruling powers operating under the Chicago Lords banner—to solidify his position.If the Kingstons destroyed themselves in Vancouver, the Duponts might just help him take it over.Before either man could speak again, a crash and frantic yells erupted from the garden.“What’s going on?” Raymond snapped, eyes narrowing.A bodyguard stumbled into the room, his face ashen. “Boss—someone’s broken in!”Raymond rose from his chair in a surge of rage. “Who is it? How many?”“We couldn’t get a good look. It’s too dark... but he’s alone,” the guard stammered. “We tried to stop him, b

The Sub-Inspector sighed, like a man too tired to care anymore.He raised his sidearm.Viper shrieked, voice cracking in terror. “No, no, no! I made mistake but you can’t just kill me! There’s a procedure—a trial! I want my lawyer! There’s still law in this country, right?!” Alex glanced over his shoulder, voice cold.“Relax, Viper. You won’t be alone. Your boss Raymond’s next in line.”The door clicked shut behind them as a single gunshot shattered Viper’s last plea.Sophia half-turned, just in time to catch a glimpse of Viper’s body hitting the concrete in a lifeless heap.They stepped outside, the faint evening light hitting their faces like a cruel reminder this was real.Across the street stood Jasmine, flanked by her own bodyguards.Her expression flickered with worry before twisting into a scowl the moment she spotted Alex’s hand clutching Sophia’s.She stalked over in her designer heels, posture rigid, eyes brimming with rage.“Well, well,” she snapped, crossing her arms.“Lo

One of the younger cops, barely out of the academy, threw his rifle to the ground and stumbled backward.“Please—I don’t want any part of this! I’m just a rookie, damn it! I don’t even understand what’s going on—don’t lump me in with that psycho!”His voice trembled as he backed away from the carnage.Like a dam finally bursting, other officers followed suit, hands in the air, weapons clattering to the floor. No one wanted a ticket straight to hell alongside Bernard.Bernard’s eyes darted around, his bravado wobbling.“So, that’s it? You’re all turning on me?” He sneered, but his lip quivered. “You idiots really don’t understand the consequences of defying the police, do you?”Kelly cocked her head, a lazy smirk twisting her lips.“Oh, that’s cute—you think you still have any authority here?” She rolled her eyes. “Go ahead, throw your weight around. We’re shaking in our boots, right?”She stepped right into Bernard’s face and slapped him hard, the crack echoing.“Little man with a shi

Mr. Bernard glowered at Alex, jabbing a thick finger into his chest.“Kid, your woman here’s the only one with a damn brain. Listen to her while you still can. Confess, turn yourself in—and maybe, just maybe, you’ll live long enough to see the sun rise again. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re hunted down like a rabid dog.”His voice shook with anger, cheeks flushing as he spat out every syllable.“I’m a cop, boy. I’ve got the entire force in my back pocket. Face me if you want, but you’re playing with fire!”Alex locked eyes with him, silent. Then, in one swift move, he drove his boot into Bernard’s gut. The impact sent the man lurching.“You’re not worthy to wear that badge.”Bernard’s gag echoed around the small interrogation room.He lurched forward, retching violently, his half-digested dinner splashing onto the concrete.As if that weren’t enough, the sour stench of urine followed. Bernard’s face flamed, tears mixing with sweat.“You—You piece of shit!” he sputtered between wheezi

Ten Minutes EarlierAlex and Sophia sat side by side in the dimly lit interrogation room, their wrists and ankles cuffed with heavy chains bolted to the floor.Sophia’s breathing grew ragged.She hated how the gloom pricked at her brain with worst-case scenarios.“Alex,” she said quietly, her voice trembling, “do you honestly think we’ll get out of here alive?”Alex didn’t move at first.His gaze stayed locked on the metal door. “We will,” he finally muttered. “We’re walking out of this place in one piece. I guarantee it.”A humorless laugh escaped Sophia’s lips.“Easy for you to say. You haven’t had nightmares about this creep, Mr. Bernard. His record in the station is as dirty as it gets.”She swallowed hard, her next words barely above a whisper. “And with Sir Raymond pulling the strings, it’s like they have the entire city in their pocket. We don’t stand a chance.”Alex turned to face her then—really turned, with a look that pinned her in place. “Sophia, have you ever trusted me?

Inside his office.Bernard slouched in his plush leather chair, puffing cigar smoke toward the ceiling like he owned the entire damn city—which, if you asked him, he practically did.“Hey, Mr. Bernard,” Viper began, voice taut. “Any chance that scrawny Kid confessed yet?”Bernard snorted, a cruel grin twisting his jowls.“Confess, not confess—doesn’t make a damn bit of difference. That clueless little runt’ll talk soon enough. They all break under pressure in the end.”Viper rubbed a hand over his mouth, “You sure? If I were you, I’d handle him quick. Things can get…unpredictable.”Bernard slammed his meaty fist on the desk, the thud echoing off the walls.“You telling me how to run my station? My station. My rules. I call the shots here, and don’t you dare forget it.”Viper raised both palms in surrender.“Easy, Mr. Bernard, easy. I know you’re the king around these parts. I just fear the Kid has someone big in his corner. Powerful folks poking their noses in your business can turn e
