The Almighty Dominance Chapter 119
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

“You’re absolutely right. I took a bullet for you—same one you fired at me behind my back,” Sophia drawled, her voice rife with bitterness.Jealousy and the sting of Alex’s betrayal twisted inside her like a dust devil, tangling her emotions so tightly she couldn’t tell where anger ended and heartbreak began.“Fine. I’m scum.” Alex waved a dismissive hand.“Marco’s the white knight, and I’m the filthy liar slinging mud at him. Are you satisfied now?”The self-mockery in his voice practically dripped off every word.Fighting for vindication felt like screaming at a brick wall, given the lack of trust from the other side.“What’s with the attitude? Trying to imply I’ve accused you unfairly?” Sophia’s brow furrowed.“Not at all,” Alex said, letting out a weary sigh.“I’m the big bad wolf, right? Badmouthing the good guy, doing all the dirty deeds. Bask in your victory, if that helps.”“Bastard!” Sophia finally snapped, her frustration boiling over.She hadn’t expected him to be so spitef

Zeroing in on Sophia, Hank took a swaggering step forward, booze practically wafting off his breath. His fingers reached for her chin—Crack! Sophia’s palm struck with a force that echoed around the room like a rifle shot. An angry crimson print blazed across his cheek.His bravado vanished faster than a tumbleweed in a windstorm.“You… you dare slap me?” Hank rasped, touching his throbbing cheek.Sophia’s voice came out cold and calm. “Not only did I slap you, I’m calling the police. You’re nothing but a lecherous creep.”“Bitch!” Hank spat, his features contorting with fury as he raised his hand to strike back.Before he could land a blow, Marco stepped up and gave him a hard shove.“You lowlife piece of trash,” Marco hissed. “You really think you can pull this crap here? Looking to get your skull cracked open?”Hank stumbled. “You better keep out of this, or you’ll regret it!”Marco just gave a humorless chuckle. “That a threat? Go on, show me what you’ve got.”Confident as ever, h

“Hell, would you look at that poor sap?” someone snorted from the sidelines.“Dumb fool went and messed with the son of Sir Drake. Bet he’s toast.”“What’d he think he was doin’, picking a fight first like that?” another bystander added, spitting a wad of tobacco.“Tryin’ to play the hero, and now he’s gettin’ stomped like a bug.”“And that woman, Sophia Lancaster?” a raspy voice chimed in. “She should’ve been down on her knees thanking Jasper for payin’ her any mind.”“I heard that anytime Jasper sets his sights on a gal, he sends Hank to grab her in the dead of night,” someone else murmured.The rumors spread faster than crows on a carcass, the air stinking of their fearful blame for Marco and Sophia.Hank let out a low, nasty chuckle as he proceeded to work Marco over.Each punch echoed like thunder. “You think you’re some kind of tough guy? Show me that backbone, you miserable piece of trash!”“Please… stop…” Marco’s voice came out ragged, his face battered and bloody. It was all

“No, Mama has seen all kinds of ugly, and she knows—the Lord never created an ugly creature,” the big guy said.“Really?” one of the thugs drawled, cocking an eyebrow and scratching his greasy hair. “If that ain’t ugly, then I reckon I’ve never seen ugly a day in my life.”“Ah, ma said,” the big guy went on, his voice thick with smugness, “it’s because she’s got an ugly heart. When your heart’s rotten, it drags your face, your personality, and your whole body down to hell with it.”“Sure enough,” a third scumbag piped up, nodding like he’d just discovered the meaning of life.The bystanders looked on in stunned silence, wondering how these half-witted goons managed to cook up such twisted nonsense.“But hey,” the biggest of the bunch announced, stomping his boots on the ground for emphasis, “I know how to fix that problem right quick.”He lumbered up to Megan, crouched just enough to leer into her face with mocking concern, and said in a syrupy tone, “Next time, sugar, don’t go havin’

Jasper wasn’t much of a fighter himself, but one look at Alex—coiled like a panther about to strike—told him the man was dangerous.Licking his lips, Jasper forced a shaky grin and took a step back.“You know what?” he said. “This isn’t the age of warriors anymore. We’re past the days of letting our fists do the talking. Times have changed, and you should know that.”Alex raised an eyebrow. “Oh really? Enlighten me—what’s changed?”Jasper didn’t answer. Instead, he gestured to his men.Around twenty of them pressed in, thugs of all shapes and sizes, each wearing a smug, predatory grin and weapons on their hands.The iron baton in one man’s hand whistled through the air, a warning of the violence to come.A hush swept over the watching crowd.Faces turned pale as the realization sank in—Alex was surrounded.Yet Alex didn’t even blink. If anything, the corners of his mouth curved upward in a slow, almost taunting smile.Raising a hand, he pointed at Jasper. Then he beckoned with a “come

“Who the hell is this freak,” one of the assassins hissed, voice trembling as he watched the bodies of his fellow Vermont Elite sprawled across the cold pavement.Fear gnawed at his gut, and the moment Alex gave him permission to scram, he took off running.They’d trained for decades to be unstoppable, to rule Vermont by Jericho Kane’s side—but all of that meant nothing in the face of this unstoppable force.He sprinted through the night, lungs burning, and jabbed the call button on his smartwatch.“Sire,” he panted, voice trembling. “We’re facing a monster… and he’s demanding a meeting with Master Kane.”Moments later, Jericho slammed his fist onto a heavy oak table.The table burst into splinters under his blow.“Who does that arrogant bastard think he is? Some boytoy of Hilton wants to summon me? Me? The Governor of Vermont!”“I’ll damn well show him who he’s dealing with!”Vetala hovered nearby like a ghostly shadow.“Sir, I’ve watched his moves. I’m convinced he’s not just some r

They exchanged wary glances, each person unsure how to react.Minutes before Alex arrived, Jack had yelled loudly enough for half the hospital to hear him:“I don’t care if it was demons or damn gods who hurt Sophia—I’ll kill them all. I’ll burn the whole world down if I have to!”The others chimed in, bravado swelling like a rising tide. “Damn straight! I’ll give up my life if that’s what it takes.”But the moment they learned Jericho Kane’s daughter was behind the attack, every ounce of their fury vanished like smoke in the wind.Gods and demons? Sure, they were easy to hate—unseen, distant, nothing more than ideas.But Jericho Kane was flesh and blood, a man who could wipe out families on a whim.Suddenly, no one even dared to whisper a word of protest.Florence and the others grew restless, every one of them understand: messing with the Kane family was suicide.Even if they were spit on, kicked around like stray dogs, they had no power to fight back.“You won’t have to worry,” Ale

The hospital reeked of antiseptic and despair. Jericho Kane shoved the double doors open with the rage of a god uninvited.He froze.There she was—Bella, his daughter.His golden girl.Mangled beyond recognition.Her once-radiant face was now a ruin of blood and shattered bone. Her arms?Torn like wings from a fallen angel.Her legs? Bent in ways only nightmares could dream.He staggered a step back, his lips trembling. Then—“Who did this?!”The roar cracked through the ward like a gunshot.Nurses flinched. A bodyguard limped forward, face pale, one eye swollen shut.“Sir… it was Alex,” he rasped.“Jasmine Kingston’s… boy toy.”Jericho’s knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists, fury dancing in his eyes.“Alex? That son of a bitch again. He has the audacity to lay a finger on my daughter?”He glared at his guards, eyes blazing. “Why didn’t you protect my daughter?!”The guard swallowed hard, bracing himself.“He’s… stronger than we expected, Sir Kane.”Jericho seized the guard by th

“Um.” Everyone froze, eyes wide, as they watched Barbie fall to the ground, blood spilling across the floor.If they hadn't seen it themselves, they wouldn't have believed it.A legendary warrior—undefeated in the arena—now dead by a single bullet.Jaws dropped. No one could’ve seen this coming.They thought Barbie’s arrival would settle things. Instead, everything flipped upside down.“You!” Henry barked. “Don’t you have any honor? How could you use a gun in a fight?”“Good question,” Alex nodded, cool and sharp.“Why would anyone try to fight someone with a gun using their bare hands? Is she stupid? Most people run from a gun, not charge at it—unless she really thought she could win.”“She can’t!” Henry screamed.“She rushed me. I figured she could take it. So, I shot!” Alex snapped back.“Alright, Barbie, I’m sorry,” he added, his voice flat.“You bastard! What’s the use of your sorry? She’s dead now!” Henry shouted.Alex’s answer was another shot—this time grazing Henry’s thigh.H

One by one, each guest stepped forward with a look of grim determination.Every time someone approached, two sharp slaps resounded—one across Bella’s cheek, the other across Henry’s—before the guest left without so much as a backward glance.It was a relentless parade of humiliation, everyone too afraid to disobey the man who commanded them.While this sick assembly line of slaps continued, a subordinate from Kingwell handed Alex a thick folder.The moment he read its contents, his expression darkened.Still, the slapping went on, as if the guests were workers on a factory line.Bella’s face swelled to twice its size, and Henry’s lips were puffed and raw.Tears streaked Bella’s cheeks as she whimpered, “I’m sorry.”Alex folded his arms, looking unimpressed.“Oh, really? Tell me, Bella, have you ever forgiven anyone who begged you for mercy?”Bella sniffled, her voice trembling, “Yes… I mean, if someone apologized—”Alex snorted. “Don’t lie to me. I’ve dug up all your dirty secrets in

Alex leaned back in his chair, casually stretching his arms as though bored by the whole ordeal.“Next,” he drawled, voice flat. He shot a cold glance across the room.“You, brown hair in the black suit. Get over here.”The man in the black suit stepped forward, trembling so hard it looked like his legs might give out.He risked a quick, apologetic glance at Bella.“I’m... I’m sorry,” he muttered. Then, in a jittery burst of courage or desperation, he raised his arm and slapped her.The crack of flesh echoed in the silence.Bella flinched, blood trickling at the corner of her mouth.Alex gave a dismissive yawn.“Move it along, people. Don’t make me do it for you.” He cocked his pistol and spun the barrel for emphasis.“From here on out, if anyone’s slow to follow orders—” he tilted his head to the side, eyes flashing menace.“—I won’t waste my time with warnings. I’ll just shoot.”A hush fell over the crowd.One by one, people inched forward, some grimacing with regret, others almost

Everyone in the ballroom knew one unspoken rule:Never cross the Kanes.So when this random nobody smacked Bella Kane across the face, it felt like time itself froze.Every head turned, jaws hanging open. The gasp was almost a collective choke.“Is he out of his damn mind?” someone muttered.“He actually hit Bella Kane… He must have a death wish.”A hush fell, thick with fear and disbelief. For as long as anyone remembered, Bella was the one who dished out the torment—never the other way around.In that moment, the unthinkable had happened.Bella swayed on her heels, hand pressed to her flaming cheek.Her eyes were wide with equal parts shock and wrath.No one, no one, had ever dared lay a finger on her.“You—” she spat, voice cracking, “you dare… you dare hit me?”Alex felt adrenaline rattle his veins. He’d lashed out before thinking; a part of him hated that he’d struck a woman.He flexed his hand, trying to ignore the sick churn in his gut.“Kill him!” Bella shrieked, voice echoing

Bella arched her perfectly manicured eyebrow and, with slow deliberation, lifted her stiletto-clad foot.She wiped the streak of blood from its heel against Sophia’s mouth.Then she spat, full of contempt, right onto the woman’s fainted body.“Get her out of my sight,” Bella snapped, coolly flicking her gaze at the two bodyguards.“She’s not fit to breathe the same air as the rest of us. Make sure you two enjoy it.”Without hesitation, the guards each grabbed one of Sophia’s arms and began dragging her across the polished marble floor.Her battered, lifeless body smeared a faint streak of blood in its wake.A small knot of onlookers gathered—some wrinkling their noses, others letting out cruel, amused chuckles.“That’s what you get for trying to swipe something from Jericho Kane’s family,” one of them sneered.A middle-aged man, wine glass in hand, watched Sophia with open scorn.“If she was that desperate for money,” he drawled, a smirk tugging at his lips, “I would’ve written her a

Charles flicked his gaze over Sophia sprawled on the marble floor.He clicked his tongue in quiet disdain.All that time and cash he’d funneled her way—her and that vulture of a mother—could go up in smoke if he didn’t salvage the situation.And he’d been so close to getting her into his bed, to boasting he’d seduced one of the top five most beautiful women in Vancouver.A real waste if it all ended here.He ran a hand through his hair, shot an irritated glance at the raging Bella, and stepped toward her.“Bella, come on,” he said in a low voice. “Don’t you think you’ve gone a little too far?”Bella’s eyes flashed with contempt.She didn’t reply. She just raised her hand and smacked Charles right across the face—loud enough to make the entire ballroom freeze.Gasps hissed through the air.Charles Kingston, the so-called Prince of Vancouver, getting slapped around in front of half the city’s elite?That was a headline all on its own.Bella didn’t give a damn.She jabbed a finger at him.
