The Almighty Dominance Chapter 132
"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

Inside the cramped apartment, Sophia stepped out of her bedroom and practically stumbled over her parents and Megan, all sprawled like dead weights on the couch.Then Marco slunk out of the kitchen, clutching a bottle of mineral water like he’d just stolen it.He froze the instant he saw Sophia—like he was staring at an unwelcome ghost.The bottle slipped from his grip and fell on the floor, water splashing everywhere.“S-Sophia... how can you be here?” he gasped, sounding as if he might keel over at any moment.Panic churned in his gut.His eyes flicked to a kitchen knife lying on the counter—grim thoughts swirling in his head.Did she know?Did she know I sold her out?Should I just grab that knife and make sure she never talks?He swallowed hard, then looked all people on the couch and starting to panic.Maybe I’d have to shut them all up…“What do you mean?” Sophia’s voice cut through his spiraling thoughts.“I—I heard the Drakes kidnapped you,” he blurted, voice unsteady. It felt

Alex had barely stepped out of the apartment when his phone buzzed.Carlos was on the line, and he sounded frantic.“Sir, there is an emergency,” Carlos blurted.“What now?” Alex snapped, bracing himself for bad news.“We’ve taken Harlan’s mansion and scooped up all his intel. Turns out he’s been dealing with Jericho Kane.”“I already know that. Give me something new.”“Harlan’s also joined forces with Charles Kingston.”“What?” Alex’s tone darkened.“He’s selling his sister, Jasmine, to seal Kingston’s leadership—with Harlan and Jericho backing him.”“Are you certain?” Alex demanded.“Kelly went to confront Charles at his mansion. It’s been two hours… no word from her. We think something’s gone wrong. I’m requesting permission to storm the place and get her out.”“Don’t bother,” Alex cut in, his voice like ice.“I’ll handle this myself. If they’ve hurt her, I swear I’ll kill Charles with my own hands.”“Yes, sir,” Carlos said, then the line went dead.Alex glanced at the sky, a muscl

Two of Charles’s men tore down the valley in a frenzy, only to find two vehicles smashed together and pinned by a fallen tree.Sprawled on the ground was a corpse, the sight so grim it turned their stomachs. Instinct jolted them to draw their weapons, scanning every shadow with anxious eyes.One guard snapped open his radio, voice tight with urgency. “Young Master, Kelly’s out of the forest. Two of our guys got wasted.”Chris’s reply exploded through the speaker.“Are you all braindead? She’s poisoned and barely standing, yet you let her slip through? Worthless bastards! Either find her and drag her back, or don’t bother coming home!”“Yes, Sir.” The guard’s voice was clipped, dread rolling off him in waves. He signaled to the others. “She’s weak and poisoned—move it!”The four men dove into the trees like wolves on the hunt, their fear of failure overshadowed only by their fear of Chris.Back in the study, Charles stood tall, his tone deceptively calm as he addressed Chris Nolan and

Bill bared his teeth, then drove Charles into the wall with a sickening thud that rattled every pane of glass in the room.The impact stole what little breath Charles had left; he crumpled to the floor, coughing violently until tears rimmed his eyes.“Look at you,” Bill jeered, lips curled in disgust. “You’ve pissed yourself, haven’t you? Pathetic little coward.”Charles stayed on his knees, shaking so hard he could barely keep uprightHis lungs burned, and his mind spun with shame. All he could do was stare at the polished floor, wishing he could sink into it and vanish.Bill gave a dismissive snort as he turned to leave.“You call yourself a man?” he spat, gaze sweeping over Charles with searing contempt. “You’re nothing but a piss-soaked dog lying in its own filth.”When

Luke had been born and raised in Vermont, he resented the new monarch.In his eyes, the rightful successor to the throne was Jericho Kane—no one else deserved that honor after the old king’s downfall.But when the old king lost and fled into hiding in Vermont, Jericho Kane’s hunger for power was ignited.Luke’s dislike for the current ruler only grew into seething contempt.Standing tall beneath the trees, Luke scowled at Kelly, letting her cling to him in desperation.His tone cut through the still air. “You Kingston people—followers of that new king—nothing but maggots and bitches.”The venom in his words reflected the unwavering pride in his eyes.He leaned closer, his voice dripping with arrogance. “I’ll show you how a man from Vermont pleases a maggot and a bitch like you. We are the superior men.”Kelly pressed herself against him, her breathing quick and shallow.A sultry whisper escaped her lips. “Really?”Before Luke could process her intent, a glint of silver flashed in Kell

It was an evening at the Vermont Club—a sanctuary reserved exclusively for those who held Vermont's true reins of power.In the lavish hall, beneath chandeliers that scattered golden light, people sipped cocktails, pretending to enjoy the music while secretly plotting their next move, scheming how to slice the largest portion from the governor’s pie.Bella Kane slumped onto the velvet sofa, chin resting listlessly in her palms.In front of her, a lively group of youths laughed and sang, their voices echoing mockingly around her indifferent ears.Across the room, grey-haired power brokers exchanged cunning whispers, eyes narrowed with hidden agendas."Bella," Scarlett sighed impatiently from beside her, "your father tasked you to charm Kelly Kingston on behalf of the Kane family. So why are you sulking here like a deflated balloon?"Scarlett's voice was tinged with irritation and bewilderment.Ever since recovering from her illness, Bella had transformed from the fierce rock-and-roll q

Jasmine strode forward, her heels clicking like gunshots across the polished marble floor, eyes blazing with barely restrained fury as she confronted Henry Dupont.“Careful, Henry,” she warned, her voice icy but edged with fire.“Accusations without proof could burn you alive.”Henry threw his head back and laughed bitterly, the sound cutting through the murmurs of anticipation like a razor blade.“Oh, isn't she priceless?” He swung around to face the crowd, his voice rising sharply, deliberately loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.“Do you all hear this nonsense? Last month, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s chief of medical research and his elite team lost all faith in Jasmine Kingston's sham leadership and abandoned ship. Who could blame them?”“Those brilliant minds took the SkinDew patent—legally theirs—and fled to Kane Pharmaceutical.”“They perfected SkinDew there, away from Jasmine's incompetence!” Henry sneered dramatically, relishing every scathing word.He jabbed an accusing f

“The Emerald Elixir is dangerous?” Murmurs erupted like wildfire, spreading panic and suspicion through the hall.At the heart of the disruption stood a police officer, rotund with arrogance and disdain plainly painted on his flushed, perspiring face.His voice boomed obnoxiously, a smug sneer twisting his lips, “When I declare something dangerous, you better believe it's deadly!”Jasmien’s eyes widened in shock, her heart plunging to her stomach.This was a disaster she hadn't anticipated.An incident like this at her meticulously arranged press conference spelled doom.Even if the product was later proven harmless, Kingston Pharmaceutical’s reputation still hung by a thread.The media would pounce first—and by the time the truth surfaced, the damage would already be irreversible. The stain on their name could outlast the facts, lingering like a shadow.The word “dangerous” echoed ominously, branding the Elixir with a toxic stigma—a curse that could doom its commercial future.From a

Charles stormed toward Jasmine's hall, only to halt abruptly, his jaw dropping in disbelief.The hall was already swarming, packed so tightly it seemed to ripple with anticipation.People jostled for seats, their excitement palpable, like sharks sensing blood.Staff scrambled to form a protective barricade around Dr. Joane, who stood serenely conversing with Alex, entirely indifferent to the seething crowd pressing closer.Jasmine watched gleefully, a predatory smile tugging at her lips.Clearly, using Dr. Joane as bait had worked far better than she'd dared hope.Standing tall, Jasmine seized a microphone, her voice ringing like polished steel through the restless chatter."Thank you all for your overwhelming enthusiasm. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number gathered here today, only our top ten customers will have the exclusive honor of consulting directly with Dr. Joane."She gestured grandly to the eager faces, eyes gleaming with triumph."For now, please find your seats.

At that precise moment, the grandeur of Dupont’s event erupted into full bloom.The massive double doors swung open, and a wave of guests surged inside, voices rising with excitement as they scrambled to claim their seats.The atmosphere crackled with electric anticipation.Henry Dupont scanned the rapidly growing crowd, a smug, triumphant smile stretching across his face.They had finally outsmarted Kingston, beating them to the punch.Even Kingston's desperate, last-minute attempt at hosting their conference across the way was doomed from the start.Without guests, it was little more than a pathetic joke.Henry chuckled darkly, his heart swelling with arrogant satisfaction.The lord of Chicago had decisively won this round.Everything was unfolding flawlessly.By day's end, SkinDew Essence would dominate headlines and conversations, spreading like wildfire.Whatever scraps Kingston might later produce would simply languish in the shadow of his glorious success.His ambitious vision—

Only after Jasmine had disappeared into the crowd did Charles finally register her words, fury igniting inside him like a wildfire.“Absolute nonsense!” he snarled, his face twisting in contempt."SkinDew Essence is practically gold dust right now! People are begging on their knees, throwing money at us just to get a single drop. Your pathetic jealousy is showing, Jasmine!"His voice was dripping venom, disdain echoing in every syllable.But Jasmine had already dismissed him entirely.She gracefully looped her arm through Alex’s, her face serene with confidence, as they vanished into the empty hall.“Hmph! She really has no grasp of reality!” Charles spat bitterly, eyes narrowing viciously as he watched them vanish."Pathetic—just scrambling desperately to make trouble as a final act of desperation! Soon enough, the Duponts will crush her underfoot. And when the lawsuits pour in over her half-baked product, she’ll beg for mercy!"Meanwhile, the Texas Interstate Convention Hall steadil

Now that SkinDew Essence had slipped through Kingston Pharmaceuticals’ fingers, the family simmered with resentment.But Charles saw more than loss; he glimpsed an opportunity—one that, if seized boldly enough, could catapult him straight past Jasmine, cementing his authority once and for all.“Charles,” Jessica said carefully, watching her son's eyes glint with ambition, “Jasmine’s already got a new product ready to launch. Don’t you think betting everything we have might be reckless?”“Mother,” Charles scoffed bitterly, rolling his eyes, “Jasmine’s just bluffing. Whatever she's cooked up can only be some pathetic imitation scraped together from our leftover research data.”“Sure, Alex might have a knack for patching up bodies, but this is pharmaceutical science, not some street-level stitching.”“Without real professors backing them, they’re just throwing darts blindfolded. Besides, SkinDew’s patent is firmly in Jericho’s grasp now—and he's already sold it off to that Chicago lord.”

“Dr. Joane,” Jasmine purred with a coy smirk, leaning forward with predatory grace.“This information is our company's deepest secret. But, if you're willing to join us formally, I'll gladly reveal the mastermind behind Emerald Elixir—provided he's willing to show his hand.”“You certainly know how to play your cards, don’t you?” Joane retorted bitterly, recognizing Jasmine’s carefully laid trap.“Alright, hand me the damn contract. I'll sign.”Jasmine’s secretary swiftly produced the document, and Joane scrawled her signature, sealing her fate.Meanwhile, Jasmine cast a mischievous glance toward Alex, eyes glinting with cunning amusement. “Can I reveal the genius behind our elixir now?”Alex scowled faintly, irritated by Jasmine’s blatant manipulation.Clearly, she viewed him as nothing more than bait to ensnare Dr. Joane.“Fine,” Alex sighed resignedly. “Given my stake in this venture, I suppose I can't refuse.”“Thanks, Alex. I keep owing you more and more,” Jasmine teased, winking

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.
