The Almighty Dominance Chapter 134
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

Three days on the private island had changed everything.Kelly, known for a demeanor as frosty as winter, finally laid down her shield.In that brief span, she showed Alex a tenderness and warmth she’d never shared with another soul.For his part, Alex shut out the rest of the world, allowing Kelly to become his entire universe.They forged memories so intimate and delicate, neither dared to share them with anyone else.On the last afternoon, Alex stood on the beach, watching Kelly’s helicopter touch down in a swirling gust of sand and wind.She climbed in, and the engine roared to life.He swallowed hard as the aircraft lifted from the ground, growing smaller in the sunlit sky until it vanished over the horizon.A familiar tune echoed through his mind, a bittersweet refrain:“I once spent the night in same room,Drank her water,Ate her leftover meals.Kissed her lips and held her close until dawn.I saw her bare face when morning came,Laughed with her, cried with her on the same mo

Jack hoisted a lavishly decorated wine box for all to see.“Granddad, check this out. Marco just dropped by with a Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru. We ought to crack it open and celebrate!”Abraham leaned forward, eyebrows raised.“La Romanée-Conti? That’s one of those outrageously pricey labels, isn’t it?”“You bet,” Marco said with a self-satisfied grin.“This baby’s a 2005 vintage, and it set me back a cool hundred grand.”The room erupted with shocked gasps.Even for the Lancaster clan, a $100,000 bottle of wine was the stuff of fairy tales.Florence eyed Marco with a mix of surprise and pride. “Good heavens, Marco. That’s a bit excessive, don’t you think?”Yet beneath her admonishing tone, she practically glowed.After all, Marco was now the suitor she had her heart set on for her daughter.Marco waved off the concern with a dismissive chuckle.“A hundred grand is nothing. I’ve got another whole barrel of this at home. It’s my pleasure to share.”The family descended on him

“Hold on a damn second,” Mr. Fleming snarled, his eyes bulging with disbelief.“Are you honestly expecting me to swallow the idea that a mere human can diagnose a bacterial culture just by tasting it?”“This is complete nonsense! You must be cheating, you filthy brat. There’s no way you’d know my culture is Bacillus anthracis unless you peeked at my notes!”Alex merely rolled his eyes, looking bored.“Peek? Right. Because the smell alone wasn’t a dead giveaway. Let me spell it out for you, Professor Genius—I could practically sniff out your half-baked anthrax the second you brought it in.”“And the fact you tried to pass this off like some big deal? You’re not even professional enough to mutate it properly. It’s so basic, even a bored middle-schooler could’ve whipped this up in science class.”Mr. Fleming’s pride stung like a hornet’s sting.The smugness in Alex’s voice was grating, and it took everything for him not to let his anger bubble over.But when Alex listed every single ingr

Charles slammed his palms on the gleaming marble table so hard that everyone in the room flinched.He fixed Alex with a scornful glare, lips twisted into a sneer that practically reeked of condescension.“Cut the crap!” he thundered, his tone rolling through the air like distant thunder.“Don’t you dare compare your lowly peasant life to mine. Seriously, take a good look at yourself in the mirror—if you can stand the sight.”Alex leaned back against his chair, crossing his arms with the kind of ease that only comes from complete self-confidence.“You always this full of hot air, Charles? If you’re too much of a coward to accept my challenge, just get on your knees, admit you’re a spineless poser, and apologize with one of your arms. Maybe I’ll find it in my heart to forgive your sorry behind.”Charles’s face went red as a brick, anger roaring inside him.“You—” he sputtered, seething so hard he could barely spit the words out.For a moment, he seemed torn.As the wealthy heir to the K

Charles made it painfully clear he was out for blood this time, determined to humiliate Alex in front of the entire Kingston family.He leaned back in his chair, sneering as though he owned the room.“So, genius,” Alex drawled sarcastically.“You’re telling me this Lydia—the one who tried to murder Jasmine and backstab Jasmine Kingstons—is the same woman you wanted me to just let walk free? Are you off your meds, or do you have a permanent vacancy sign dangling in that empty head of yours?”Charles’s face twitched, eyes glinting with dangerous rage.“How dare you question me? Even if she’s a traitor, Lydia was one of ours. Who gave you the right to kill her?”“The Kingstons handle Kingston business, not some no-name punk like you! Ever think of choosing your battles correctly before butting into our family affairs?”Alex scoffed, a sharp laugh slicing through the tense air.“Oh, sure. I help clear out a scumbag who tried to assassinate your own flesh and blood, and instead of thanks,

An hour later, Alex and Jasmine strolled through the grand double doors of Kingston Mansion as if it were a casual Sunday jaunt.At the center of the lavish sitting room sat Charles, flanked by Jessica (Jasmine’s mother) and an elegant old man with a posture so rigid it might crack.The old man’s eyes roved over everything with quiet calculation.Jasmine’s heartbeat thudded in her ears, but she managed a cold smile. “Mother, you summoned me. Spill.”Jessica’s expression was as frosty as the marble floors beneath them. “I want no family drama right now—only professionalism. Can you do that, Jasmine?”Jasmine turned to Charles and raised an eyebrow. “I assume you have some brilliance to share, big brother?”Charles steepled his fingers in theatrical calm, but his tone snapped like a whip.“Let’s skip the niceties. You and I both own shares of Kingston Pharmaceuticals, but the bulk belongs to Mother’s side of the family. They’ve appointed me to evaluate your… performance.” His smugness d

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
