“Don’t any of you fret,” Jarvis murmured, his voice as steady as a loaded gun. “I’m not about to rip your nails off just for fun.”He spoke so casually that it sent a chill straight through the crowd. One look at him, and they knew he was perfectly capable of following through.Everyone shrank back, fear gnawing at their insides. This man had the kind of presence that made people obey without question.“Alright then,” Jarvis went on, folding his arms across his chest. “Let’s get straight to it: Were any of you involved in my brother’s death?”A wave of panic rippled through the group, like a stampede of anxious cattle.“Us? We had nothing to do with it!”“It’s true! We’re innocent!”“Lieutenant, you’ve got this all wrong! None of us killed Sir Drake!”Their frantic denials filled the air, each person terrified that a single misstep would seal their fate.“That so?” Jarvis let out a harsh, humorless laugh.“Jasper!” He jerked his chin, beckoning the limping man forward. “Take a good lo

Sophia’s mind drifted back to the dream with Alex that had felt so vivid.Could it really have been Alex—the same man who used to protect her, even after everything that happened between them?Part of her wanted to believe it, but she quickly dismissed the idea.They were divorced.Why would he lift a finger for her? Besides, Alex wasn’t the sort to get involved in such dangerous affairs.It was impossible… wasn’t it?Suddenly, Jack’s furious voice broke through her thoughts, reverberating in the living room. “Marco Ashford! You slimy piece of dirt! I must’ve been out of my mind to trust you!”Marco only laughed, a cold, mocking sound that sent shivers down Sophia’s spine.“You’re all blind,” he sneered. “The whole lot of you. And don’t act like you just realized it. I did you a favor by ripping off the blindfold.”“Favor?” Florence spat, her voice trembling with rage. “I considered you family! You’re worse than Alex ever was!”Marco rolled his eyes, a contemptuous grin stretching acr

Sophia stumbled into the room, flanked by a wary soldier. Jasper’s cold eyes flicked to her.“Hey, you,” he snapped at the soldier. “Tie her to the chair.”The soldier froze, clearly conflicted.Jasper’s voice sliced through the silence. “Do it—or I’ll let my uncle deal with you.”Pinned by fear, the soldier nodded.He took a length of rope and secured Sophia’s wrists and ankles to the chair. Her complexion turned ghostly white.Her voice shook as she pleaded, “Please don’t do this.”Jasper waved a dismissive hand at the soldier. “You, get out.”The door shut behind them, leaving Sophia alone with him.He inched closer, gaze dark with unbridled hunger.“You cost me my manhood,” he growled. “Now I’ll make you suffer.”Sophia’s eyes widened, her chest tight with terror. “Please, Mister Jasper, don’t—”“Shut up!” he snarled, striking her across the cheek.She gasped by the pain, head snapping to the side.Jasper’s fingers clamped around her jaw, forcing her to face him. “Don’t test me,”

Sophia kept her gaze fixed on Jarvis, the man who’d just taken them captive.He practically radiated arrogance—enough to set entire villages ablaze.Yet here he stood, trying to appear as harmless as a kitten.“Miss Lancaster, I’m going to cut the rope,” he said softly, as though afraid to startle her.With a swift motion, he drew a military knife and sliced through the restraint. He paused a moment, then turned his face aside before speaking again.“Please find a pair of jeans in that wardrobe. I’ll let you and your family go. This was all a mistake.”A mistake? Sophia didn’t believe a word of it.Tigers didn’t just stop being predators overnight.Still, she wasted no time hurrying to the wardrobe.She dug out a pair of jeans she could find and slipped them on, all while watching Jarvis out of the corner of her eye.Surprisingly, he didn’t move a muscle.He stepped to the doorway and called out, “Soldier! Take Miss Lancaster to her family and escort them home.”“Yes, sir,” the young

Alex stood atop the Harlan mansion, surveying the pandemonium below.Down on the street, he spotted Marco racing along as if a rabid dog were nipping at his heels.But that wasn’t Alex’s concern.Yes, Marco had scammed the Lancasters, but Alex had warned everyone. They’d chosen not to listen. They’d let it happen.His time was better spent on his own pursuits: finding more money, securing more elixir, leveling up.There was a battle on the horizon, and his parents’ enemy wouldn’t wait forever. Careful progress was the only way forward.A sudden buzz from his phone cut through his thoughts.“Alex?” came the familiar voice of Ruth, the matron of the orphanage.“Hey, Ruth. Everything okay?” he asked.“Are you in Vancouver?”“Yes. Need something?”Ruth sighed audibly. “Josephine’s in Vancouver on business, and now she’s lost. Her phone battery died, and she can’t find her way back. Could you help her?”“Of course,” he replied without pause. “Send me her number, and I’ll track her last kno

Alex didn’t waste any time.He snapped his leg up and slammed his boot into Kelvin’s face, as if the man’s skull were nothing more than a cheap welcome mat.Kelvin’s head whipped downward on impact, practically smooching the dirt off Alex’s shoe.Kelvin stumbled back, his fury twisting his features into a hideous scowl.“You bastard!” he spat, voice trembling with outrage. “Who the hell do you think you are, meddling in my business? You’re a dead man!”Kelvin turned on his heel, barking orders like an enraged drill sergeant. “Security—get your asses over here and take him out!”The guards rushed forward, but Josephine, always a fuse waiting to be lit, leaped between them and Alex. Defiance blazed in her eyes.“Touch him, and I’ll snap your bones like twigs!” she warned, practically daring them to try.One guard reached for her, only to find his arm twisted into a pretzel.Josephine hammered a kick into his groin so hard it could’ve knocked his ancestors off their family tree.He colla

Kelvin stood there with a cocky smirk etched across his slimy face, practically dripping arrogance.“Now get down on your knees,” he ordered, voice laced with poisonous glee.“Beg for forgiveness. Grovel enough, and maybe I’ll let you crawl out of here when I’m done using you.” Safe under Scarface’s shadow, Kelvin felt no fear.Josephine’s stomach churned.She never expected Kelvin to come on this strong, and the ugly confidence in his eyes sent a chill racing up her spine.One of his goons sneered, relishing her discomfort. “Didn’t you hear the man, girlie? Hit the floor and start begging, or I can’t promise you’ll keep all your limbs.”Josephine stood stubbornly; she would never kneel!Kelvin, still puffed up with self-importance, turned to Scarface.“See that, Mr. Scarface? They’re not paying you any respect. People like this only learn their lesson when they’re looking their own graves in the eye.”The way Kelvin drawled those words, the way he licked his lips, told everyone he ha
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 163
Scarface approached Josephine with a carefully practiced smile, his voice mild yet charged with tension.“Forgive me, Ms. Everheart. I bear full responsibility for that slob’s behavior. Clearly, I’ve failed in keeping my people in line. I promise to make it right.”Josephine raised an eyebrow, leveling him with a cool, assessing look. “My, aren’t you the picture of fairness and justice, Mister Scarface. I’m almost impressed.”He let out a strained chuckle, something guilty flickering behind his eyes. “Just doing what’s right, ma’am. That manager’s long overdue for a lesson in manners.”He gestured for her to head back into the office. “If you’d follow me, we can wrap up the paperwork. I’ll see to it that the money’s wired into your account by day’s end.”Josephine hesitated, glancing at the contract on Kelvin’s battered desk. “I only need a hundred thousand,” she said, a cautious lilt in her voice.Scarface dismissed her concern with a flick of his wrist.“Trust me, it’s fine.

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.

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
