The Almighty Dominance Chapter 127
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

"He who has overcome his fears will truly be free."— AristotleAs Alex strolled into the old mansion all by himself, he couldn’t help but notice the bedlam inside.Thugs milled about in a frenzy, weapons clanking, voices raised.Some of them were bent over makeshift tables, arguing about their next move; others were testing the edges of their knives and machetes with manic grins.It didn’t take a genius to see they’d been summoned in a hurry—half of them still had beer bottles in hand, eyes wild.Alex paused at the threshold, expression twisted with disgust.Look at them, he thought, a ragtag bunch of cheap hoodlums chasing the next payday.To them, he was just another face in the crowd—nothing special. They hardly paid him any mind. “You sure Kingston’s men will come?” a tall, wiry guy asked, voice threaded with a jittery excitement. “Damn right they will,” sneered another, stroking the blade of a freshly-sharpened machete.“We’re going to war. Tonight, we take all of Vancouver.”

“The people who play with fire will get burned,” Alex said, his tone cold. “And people who play with fear will find fear coming to take their life.”“I heard you’ve been spreading fear across Vancouver to make people know who you are,” Alex said, narrowing his eyes.“I don’t dare!” Harlan stammered, trembling.“If only you spent your time being kind and waited for it to come back to you, you’d be the happiest person on Earth,” Alex said, positioning his thumb and middle finger to flick Harlan’s forehead.“Next time when you’re born, please, be a good person.”“Please…” Harlan whispered, his voice barely audible.Alex flicked his fingers.Suddenly, Harlan felt nothing—only darkness.His body collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Inside, his brain had already turned to mush.Alex sighed wearily and walked out of the study room.Without needing confirmation, he could feel Sophia’s presence in one of the large rooms.Beyond a towering wooden door, the lavish scent of expensive candles filled

The previous night.A restless moon hung over Vancouver that night, casting a pale glow across the cramped apartment block where Marco Ashford arrived in a breathless rush.His heart thudded louder than his footsteps, though he kept his face carefully composed.Inside, Florence stood in the faint hallway light, her cheeks streaked with tears, her shoulders trembling.“Florence, what happened?” he asked, mustering his best tone of concern.She clutched at his arm, her grip so tight it hurt.“Marco—oh God—my daughter! They took Sophia! You’ve got to help her!”Marco forced a sympathetic frown, fighting the guilt that coiled in his stomach.“Who took her?” he asked quietly, even though the answer was already gnawing at him.He’d sold Sophia’s address to Hans, and the shame of that betrayal pressed like a cold stone against his chest.Florence’s voice cracked, her tears renewing. “I-I don’t know. It was so fast. Please, Marco—you have connections, you can do something!”He nodded, placing

An hour earlier, Sophia had stepped quietly out of the hospital doors, a ghostly shadow haunted by restless thoughts.For days, she'd kept her family at arm's length, erecting an invisible barrier around her wounded heart.Her soul felt raw, tormented by relentless doubts about Alex.Perhaps she had always been unfair, perhaps she should have trusted him sooner.After all, their marriage was already torn to shreds; yet, somewhere deep inside, she knew Alex deserved an apology far greater than her pride allowed.Paying a discreet detective employed by her family, Sophia easily uncovered the small clinic Alex ran near the slums.Guided by the instructions of her GPS, she drove slowly through the grimy streets, her eyes hollow with anticipation and dread.As she approached, the sight of bodyguards patrolling the perimeter, stern-faced and vigilant, set her pulse racing.Her heart twisted painfully upon glimpsing Jasmine standing intimately close to Alex, radiating confidence and allure.

Alex watched with icy indifference as Owen’s bodyguards surged forward and snatched the ornate box from his hand. He let them have it—this once.“You ignorant little quack,” Owen spat venomously, his sneer sharp enough to slice through steel."Heaven Root isn't just some miracle herb—it’s the ultimate treasure for warriors like us. You, a pathetic excuse for a doctor, couldn’t appreciate its worth even if it bit you in the ass!"Smugly, Owen slapped the box with contemptuous triumph.“Uncle Jericho’s already handed this over to me. It’s mine now, doctor boy.”Instead of exploding into fury, Alex’s lips twisted into a chilling, knife-edged smile directed straight at Jericho Kane.“Fool me once—shame on you. Twice—shame on me. But thrice? Then I'm the goddamn fool.”He strode past Jericho, leaning in close enough to whisper venomous words straight into his trembling ear.“If that Heaven Root isn't in my hand before I leave this cursed mansion, don't blame me when your bloodline ends thr

“Wonderful!” Joane gasped, eyes blazing with awe as she took in Alex's extraordinary display of skill.His perfect methods were nothing short of revolutionary.She, a doctor who arrogantly believed herself to have peaked in medicine, suddenly felt humbled and hopeful—like a blind woman seeing the sun for the first time.“Bella! How are you feeling? Any pain or discomfort?” Jericho’s voice cracked, disbelief and cautious joy battling inside him.Lidia stood trembling beside him, her eyes wide and glistening.Neither had dared to dream of a miracle—yet now one stood defiantly before them.“Dad… Mom… this is crazy. I don't feel weak anymore! It's gone!” Bella touched herself frantically, amazement painting her face.Her heart thumped loudly, stronger and more alive than she'd ever known.“Oh, thank heavens! It's truly gone!” Lidia cried out, voice choked with gratitude. She nearly fell to her knees, intending to grovel before Alex.“No, Mrs. Kane—please!” Alex swiftly stepped forward, ge

“What?”All eyes snapped toward the bed, and a collective gasp filled the room.Bella, whose complexion had shown signs of life mere moments before, now lay grotesquely pale, blood trickling ominously from her nose and mouth.Her delicate features twisted with agony, the vivid crimson contrasting cruelly against her ashen skin.“What the hell is going on, Dr. Joane?” Jericho snapped, his voice tight and furious, eyes narrowed into dangerous slits.Joane stared at Bella, bewilderment and horror battling across her normally confident face."This—this doesn't make sense! Her heart was stable just minutes ago. How could she deteriorate this rapidly?"Jericho stepped forward aggressively, his fists clenched. “Then do something! Damn it, Joane, fix this before I kill you!”“Let me try again.” Joane, though shaken, quickly steadied her trembling hands and plunged into action once more, applying precise acupuncture points to reassert control over Bella’s failing heart.But the situation twist

As Alex and Josephine crossed the threshold of the Kane estate, he spotted a semi‑circle of white coats—Vancouver’s medical aristocracy—clustered like ravens in the marbled foyer.“You’re finally here, young man! Come in, quickly!” Lidia cried, her smile nearly swallowing her face.A ripple of unease crawled down Alex’s spine before he forced it away.“You claimed you could cure my daughter,” Jericho said, his baritone iron‑hard. “If you can’t, admit it now.”“I stand by my word,” Alex answered, a calm smile cutting across his face. “But the Heaven Root is my price—yes or no?”Jericho possessed the Heaven Root, a relic‑rare herb.Fortune and patience had handed him a single piece, and only recently had it ripened enough to be swallowed.He guarded it for Bella’s future years, because every powerful family in the province would claw for it if they smelled the chance.“Fine,” Jericho said, frost edging each syllable. “Heal her, and the Heaven Root is yours. Fail, and God help you.”“You

Lidia’s voice shook as she clutched Jericho’s sleeve.“What are we going to do now? Tell me Bella’s going to pull through, right?”Jericho leaned in, whispering through clenched teeth, “I don’t know,” his mind racing for any miracle he still hadn’t tried.His reservoir of inner inner energy was thinning to a dangerous trickle.Once that final spark died, Bella’s heartbeat would follow it into the darkness.Lidia’s gaze darted to the nightstand, where a crimson velvet box rested beside a handwritten note.The message, penned in Bella’s looping script, read, “If I’m ever in danger, use this pill.”She had even doodled a tiny red heart beside the words, her faith sealed in ink and emoji.“Jericho, we have to try this,” Lidia urged, snapping the lid open and lifting the bottle inside.It was the same elixir Alex had slipped Bella—her treasured keepsake, a vow of forever disguised as medicine.Jericho scowled. “A trinket from that punk? You really think this’ll pull her back from the grave

Alex looked at Bella and let out a weary sigh.He picked up a small glass bottle with a single pill inside and held it out to her.“If something happens to you,” he said quietly, “use this pill. But mark my words—this is just a temporary measure. You really do need help…and maybe I’m the only one who can provide it.”Bella’s heart fluttered, her breath caught in her throat, and before she could think twice, the words just tumbled out:“I believe in you.”Alex blinked, stunned. “…What?”Bella’s eyes widened. “I-I mean—yes! I… I have a heart condition,” she stammered, her cheeks turning a soft pink, like the sky before sunrise.“And I think… only you can fix it.”There was a long, awkward pause.Then, trying to recover, she waved her hands a little too fast.“N-not like that! I mean… not the mushy, love-struck kind of heart thing…”She looked away, biting her bottom lip, her voice dropping to a whisper.“I mean the real kind. The one that’s actually broken.”“A real, serious heart disea

“Jericho Kane? What does he want with the Heaven Root?” Alex asked.“I heard his daughter’s suffering from a rare genetic heart condition, and he thinks the Heaven Root can save her,” Kelly explained, glancing at Alex.“Bella Kane?” Alex repeated.“Yes,” Kelly confirmed.Alex let out a weary sigh. He imagined Bella hiding her pain beneath an elegant façade. No wonder Jericho Kane spoiled her every whim and excused her worst habits.“Alex, how should we handle this?” Kelly asked, her tone unsettled by the news.“I’ve got to get my hands on that Heaven Root,” Alex declared without hesitation.“There’s no time to waste. I’ll head to Vermont today.”He stepped outside the clinic and was stunned to see a group of homeless men clashing with two brutish thugs lugging a drum.The looks on those thugs’ faces made it clear they were up to no good.“What’s going on here?” Alex demanded.“Doc, these two louts were about to pour oil around the clinic,” one of the homeless men said.“We figure they

“Finally, Owen is here!” Bella let out a delighted laugh, her eyes shining with relief.“Bella! Scarlett! Are you alright?” The tall, broad-shouldered man rushed toward them, completely ignoring Alex as though he were invisible.He stood with a commanding presence, sharp-eyed and radiating an unmistakable air of nobility that set him apart from common folk.“We’re fine,” Bella answered, her voice bright with gratitude, “all thanks to Alex, who saved us.”“Oh, really?” Owen Whitman’s tone dripped with skepticism as he raked his gaze over Alex.“Bella, a man’s face doesn’t reveal his true character. You’d do well to steer clear of strangers.”Suddenly, Owen’s expression twisted. “Wait. I know you—aren’t you the Alex who had the nerve to slap Bella?”His eyes blazed with fury. “I’ve been searching everywhere for you after what you did to her.”Bella darted between Owen and Alex, her movements frantic.“Owen, stop it! It was my fault, and we’ve settled it already. My father forgave the wh
