The Almighty Dominance Chapter 160
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

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. This ba

“What the hell are you doing?!” Megan yelled as the cold drink drenched her from head to toe.Josephine replied without missing a beat. “Right back at you, you psycho! Why’d you come here just to harass people? What’s your problem?”Megan narrowed her eyes. “Do you know who this guy is?”Josephine shot her a bright grin. “Sure do. He’s my bestie. If you’ve got an issue with him, you’ll have to deal with me first.”“He’s a scammer—a total gigolo! He trashed his ex-wife’s company out of petty jealousy because Jessica Hilton treated him like a toy boy. Ask him if I’m lying!” Megan pointed a furious finger at Alex.Josephine placed her hands on her hips, meeting Megan’s glare with a fearless smirk. “I don’t believe a single word coming out of your mouth. So scram, crazy woman.”Megan opened her mouth to retort, but all that came out was a frustrated hiss.Her cheeks burned with anger. “Oh, so that’s how it is, huh? Alex, big man that you are, always hiding behind a woman.”She shot him a

“What do you mean, fix everything?” Sophia asked, her brows furrowing.“Sophia,” Florence stepped forward and grabbed her hand.“Charles has regained his position as the Prince of Vancouver. Right now, he has all of the Kingston power back. Our Lancaster Group and partnership are already safe.”“And he promised to help us eagerly. Meanwhile, he’ll try to recover the money that Marco took from us.”Jack arrogantly walked over, a smug grin on his face.“That means we can get our money back. This is all thanks to Charles.”“Really?” Sophia asked, still finding all of this hard to believe.It felt unreal."Of course," Megan sneered. "Or do you seriously believe Alex is capable of this?"“No!”Alex had only made a call to Jasmine, and as far as she knew, nothing had come from it yet.Charles had solved everything.Apart from his good looks, Alex was just an average man. There was nothing special about him.She must be delusional.“Sophia, Charles saves the Lancasters! We owe him.” Florence

Lyra leaned back with a smirk curling her lips. “Well, Uncle Raymond, I’m not sure you resemble anything in particular… but I trust Alex’s opinion on the matter.”Raymond snorted so hard it nearly rattled the phone line. “Huh! I have no idea how that tiny fraud managed to brainwash you. What’s his secret?”She shrugged with practiced indifference.“Beats me. Maybe it was just meant to be. Anyway, the clock is ticking. You’ve got half a day left before our bet closes. If you’re still as healthy as an ox by sunset, I’ll hand over the goods I promised. But I hope you’ve set aside your ‘payment’ for the cure if—and when—you need it.”Raymond’s voice turned coarse. “Payment? You’re not talking about those rare herbs from my vault, are you?”Lyra’s eyes rolled skyward as if she couldn’t believe his stupidity.“Don’t get confused, Uncle. The bet is simple: I wager my entire herb plantation; you wager that precious stash of yours. That’s separate from any cure you might suddenly find yourself

Raymond frantically dialed number after number, desperate for anyone who could save him.But every time the call connected and people arrived, the answer was the same—no one could handle whatever was tearing him apart from the inside.His breath came in ragged gasps, and blood oozed from the corner of his eye.A sudden wave of horror crushed him: he was running out of time. He practically stabbed at his phone.“Lyra…!”Lyra’s voice sounded maddeningly calm on the other end. “Uncle Raymond. So… have you finally prepared the Cheval Blanc paperwork?”“You little wretch,” Raymond snarled, his voice cracking with anguish. “I told my people to handle it, all right? Tell your man to get over here and fix me!”Lyra only snorted. “You’re the one begging for help, Uncle. Doesn’t seem polite to order him around like some lapdog, does it?”Raymond’s pain spiked; his vision blurred red. Still, he forced down his fury and stammered, “Fine—where’s Alex? I’ll come to him myself.”Lyra sounded almost

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
