The Almighty Dominance Chapter 124
“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’
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 126
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

Marco lunged first, knife raised high, but Alex didn’t even bother to look at him.With a smooth, almost lazy motion, Alex’s hand snapped out and connected with Marco’s face.A sickening crunch echoed through the room as Marco’s nose broke, sending him staggering backward.The knife clattered harmlessly to the floor.“How dare you attack me!” Marco bellowed, blood streaming down his chin.“Who told you to come at me?” Alex sneered.His cold gaze shifted toward Jasper, who still held Megan hostage.“Don’t you take another step, or I’ll slit her throat!” Jasper snarled, voice quivering in a way that betrayed more nerves than resolve.Alex just shook his head, his expression carved from stone.“There is nothing in this world, or above it, except Almighty God, that I will ever bow to. Neither fear nor death has any hold on me.”His voice rumbled with quiet power, the sort of tone that sends chills down a man’s spine.“When gods show up, I’ll smash them to pieces. When demons crawl out, I’

Marco spat blood and curses in one go.“You… you’re dead meat! And now you’ve made the rest of us dead meat, too!”He was all wild eyes and trembling rage, but Alex just cocked his head, looking about as threatened as a bored housecat.“That so?” Alex replied, voice flat, like he’d rather turn on his heel than waste another word.“Stop!” Megan jumped to stop him, arms stretched wide like a rickety fence.“You bastard! You dare mess with Jasper Drake? Do you have any clue what you’ve done? We’ll all pay for this!”Alex glanced from Megan to Marco, his expression as cold as a January wind.“I don’t care.”“But we do!” Sophia cried, voice shaking as she stepped closer.“You’ve ruined us! Jasper’s father won’t stop at you; he’ll come after everyone tied to you!”“You’d better turn yourself and beg forgiveness,” Megan warned, her voice trembling. “Don’t take us all down with you.”“That’s right!” Marco sneered, still hugging his battered nose, using Megan as a shield. “You must be out of y

Jason was too shocked to process what was happening. His mouth opened, but no words came out as he turned pale under the weight of the situation.Jasmine’s sharp eyes scanned the room, her voice cutting through the tense air.“Does anyone here still fear the Drakes more than the Kingstons?” she asked, her words slow and deliberate, carrying a chilling undertone.“Speak now. So I could teach you.”The crowd remained silent, stunned into submission.Jasmine tilted her head, her cold smile sending a shiver through everyone. “Did you think the Kingston family has been kind for so long because we lack claws? Think again.”Jason’s smartwatch buzzed loudly, snapping him out of his daze.Fumbling, he turned it on, only to hear a panicked voice on the other end.“Husband! What’s happening to us?”“What? What do you mean?” Jason stammered, confusion clouding his face.“Our bank accounts are frozen! The stocks are plummeting! Lenders are demanding payments, and the police are at our doorstep—som

Marco, Sophia, and Megan had decided to part ways and meet Jasper the next day.But as Marco steered his car toward his family’s mansion, a dull sense of foreboding began to gnaw at him.The roads were nearly empty, streetlights flickering like dying torches, and an oppressive silence settled over everything.Suddenly, a screeching set of headlights tore through the gloom. A vehicle slammed into his front bumper, jolting him forward.He barely had time to gasp before another car rammed his rear, sandwiching him in place.Marco’s heart hammered against his ribs. He fought the impulse to flee, but there was nowhere to go.Then came a sickening crash—an iron baton smashed into the side window.Glass shards flew like deadly confetti, and he ducked, arms raised defensively.Too slow.A rough hand snagged a fistful of his hair, yanking him from the driver’s seat.Sharp pain exploded through his scalp, and his cry of protest was drowned by the roar of rain and adrenaline.He hit the pavement

Sophia’s hands were locked together so tightly her knuckles went pale.Every breath she drew felt ragged, quivering with dread. Beside her in the car, Hanks kept his posture rigid.He knew better than to lay a finger on a woman destined for Harlan Drake.He valued his own skin too much.“Listen up,” Hanks said in a low, steady voice. “You’re about to meet Harlan Drake. Do exactly what he tells you. Man’s got no patience, and he’ll break you if you give him a reason. One swing from him could shatter every bone in that slender arm of yours.”When the car finally stopped, Hanks threw the door open. “Out. Now. Don’t make me haul you out myself.”Sophia’s legs trembled as she stepped onto the gravel.The mansion sprawled before her—its cold, imposing silhouette framed by perfectly trimmed hedges.A heavy sense of foreboding clung to the air. Hanks clamped a hand around her arm and dragged her inside, the grand entry hall gleaming with polished marble floors and crystal chandeliers.Without

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

The clang of metal against concrete shattered the silence, and the heavy door groaned open.A harsh overhead light snapped on, searing Alex’s and Sophia’s eyes until they squeezed them shut.Their hearts thumped in the stale, suffocating darkness, though Alex wore a calm look that bordered on nonchalance.A broad-shouldered man lumbered in, sporting a gut that looked like it belonged in a beer commercial.He dropped onto a rickety chair beside the table, flipped a switch on the lamp, and leaned in with a smirk that made Sophia’s stomach knot.“Pfft. So you’re Alex,” he drawled, voice dripping with contempt.Alex kept his gaze steady, adjusting to the glare. “Yeah. I’m Alex. Nice to meet you, I guess.”The man’s smirk widened. “You have any idea who I am?”Sophia met his stare but didn’t speak.Alex simply shrugged. “Beats me.”The big man made a show of puffing up his chest. “Name’s Bernard. Folks around here call me ‘The Vampire.’ Not that I’m a bloodsucker by choice—I just do what n
