The Almighty Dominance Chapter 174
Jasmine shot Mr. Wolf a glare so fierce it could’ve cut through steel.“Listen, Wolf. Be cautious if you want, but stop pointing fingers at Alex. He’s the only one here I actually trust.”Wolf—Gabriel Wolf—folded his arms and threw a sneer Alex’s way.“Word on the street is he’s a two-bit con artist who sweet-talks rich women out of their money. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s the rat in the room.”Jasmine’s anger flared. She jabbed a finger at him. “Another word out of you, and I’ll shred our contract right here and now.”Gabriel raised his hands in mock surrender. “Fine. If you wanna cozy up to a possible backstabber, be my guest.”Jasmine ignored him, pivoting toward Alex with a remorseful look.“I’m sorry. My top guards are in Los Angeles with my father, and the rest followed Charles. These elite soldiers? They’re from my mother’s side of the family.”Alex shrugged, calm as ever. “Doesn’t matter. We’re here for one reason—to get Kelly back. We’re not exactly on vacation.”She offered
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 175
“How could this be?” Jasmine was stunned, her confidence shattered by the unexpected defeat.No one had anticipated Gabriel would fall so easily—especially to someone who looked so weak.One of the vice leaders rushed forward, grabbing Gabriel from the arena and shaking him awake.Gabriel groaned, then blinked as he came to.“So, I lost?”He stood up, rubbing his head, but instead of regret, a smirk stretched across his face.“I’m sorry, Miss Kingston. I didn’t expect to meet someone that strong,” he said, shrugging.“But don’t worry! My vice leader will secure the next two wins. We can still turn this around.”He turned to Karl. “Karl, you’re up next. Make sure you win this round.”“Yes, leader!” Karl responded and immediately stepped toward the arena.“Stop it!” Kelly suddenly shouted, her voice sharp with fury.“You’re losing on purpose!”“Don’t you dare send another one of your men in! Jasmine, these people are trying to drag us down!”“Shut up,” Gabriel shot back. “We’re trying t

“Listen, we don’t want any trouble.” One of the bodyguards eased his grip on his weapon, stepping away from the carnage.“We’ve got no loyalty to anyone but our paychecks.“Our boss is dead; we’re only here because we’re paid to guard Miss Jasmine. If she keeps signing the checks, we’ll stay out of this mess.”A handful of others nodded, clearly relieved at the easy out.Whether or not Gabriel had been selling himself or all of them out as Jericho’s spy hardly mattered to them—money was money, and if there was a safer way to earn it, they wouldn’t miss the chance.Jasmine gave them a curt nod. “I’ll keep you on the payroll. Just don’t meddle in this fight.”“Works for us,” one replied. The rest quickly agreed.Jericho clearly saw that Gabriel’s people had stopped fighting for Jasmine.“That damn Gabriel,” he muttered, his face twisting in anger. “I told him to pay his men, yet he used the money all for himself. That fucking greed of his... fits him right to die.”His eyes darkened wit

“We’ll drive out of Vermont, and once we’re past the Vancouver border, Jericho Kane can kiss my ass,” Jasmine declared, her voice tight with determination.Kelly huddled over a map, tapping a spot with her finger. “It’s about an eight-hour haul from here,” she noted. “But once we link up with Lydia’s chopper, we’re golden.”Jasmine nodded. “She’s on standby. As soon as we reach the rendezvous, we’ll be in the clear.”Her jaw clenched as she glanced at the winding roads ahead. “But first, we’ve gotta ditch Kane’s goons.”They formed a quick plan: three SUVs taking three different routes, each one a decoy to confuse any potential pursuers.Jasmine, Kelly, Alex, and two bodyguards piled into one of the vehicles.For a while, they sped down forest-lined roads, winding turns making it feel like the trees were closing in. Just as they approached a fork:CRASH!A massive tree slammed down, blocking the road completely. The driver cursed, slamming on the brakes.Dark shapes materialized from

Two of Lydia’s soldiers lunged at Alex in a synchronized move, each trying to knock him off balance with a forceful kick aimed at his knee.The blows landed, but Alex didn’t budge an inch.It felt, to them, like their legs had just collided with a slab of solid iron.One soldier let out a strangled cry as he crumpled to the ground, clutching his shattered shin.The other toppled over next to him, howling in agony.“Y-you monster!” another soldier snarled, leveling his weapon at Alex’s head.Several more followed suit, forming a ring of gun barrels pointed straight at him.Suddenly, one of the men who’d been aiming at Alex turned his rifle away from its target.Without warning, he pulled the trigger—twice—blowing the heads off two of his own comrades in a grisly, explosive spray.“What the hell just happened?” someone shouted, horror-stricken.“I—I don’t know!” cried the shooter, eyes wide with panic. “My hand… it moved on its own!”“Drop that damn gun!” barked another soldier, voice t
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 179
Inside, Kelly sat on one side, her jaw clenched so hard it was a wonder her teeth didn’t crack.“They're traitors, Jasmine,” Kelly hissed, eyes burning. “Dirty, backstabbing traitors. And you know what we do with traitors?”“We crush them. We make them regret the day they decided to cross us.”Jasmine pressed two fingers against her temple, trying to will away the headache that pounded behind her eyes.She’d had enough chaos for one day.“I get it, Kelly,” she said in a low voice. “But we need a real plan.”Kelly’s eyes flickered with frustration.“You want a plan? How about we start by tossing every piece of human trash that came out of Detroit or Winston? You heard that bastard Charles—he’s still got connections everywhere.”A muscle in Jasmine’s cheek twitched.If only she’d been more ruthless, if only she’d shut the door on Charles for good.But regrets wouldn’t keep them safe now.“Jasmine, Hesitation is the enemy of power. Strike first, or be struck down."“You know we can’t jus

After countless hours of darkness, Alex’s eyes finally fluttered open.A dull ache pulsed through his entire body.“Alex, you’re awake?”The relief in Kelly’s voice practically echoed off the sterile hospital walls.Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears, and before he knew what was happening, she latched onto him in a fierce hug.“You had me scared half to death,” she whispered, voice trembling. “Don’t ever pull something like that again.”Alex gave a weak chuckle, trying to shift into a more comfortable position.“I’m fine, Kelly. Quit looking at me like I’m about to keel over any second. Where… where am I?”Before Kelly could respond, the door swung open with a loud click.Jasmine glided in, followed by Lyra, each looking polished and stunning in their own right.“Alex!” Jasmine exclaimed, her tone tinged with urgency. She rushed to his bedside. “Thank God you’re alright. We were worried.”Alex offered her a faint smile. “Little banged up, but I’ll live.”Jasmine’s gaze flickered

With a warm smile, Charles crossed his arms and spoke to Jasmine in a voice as soft and sweet as honey.“I don’t have time to play games with you, sis. But if you ever realize that your greed has led you astray—if God spares you—and you decide to hand back what’s rightfully mine, then come find me. Return the throne of Vancouver to its true king.”He turned sharply on his heel, tossing a final jab over his shoulder. “I hope you figure out the right path instead of chasing demons. But I won’t hold my breath.”Jasmine stood there, her eyes wide in disbelief.Their father had once assured her that Vancouver would belong to her, while Charles got Los Angeles.How could Charles now claim that he was in the right—and she was the one in the wrong?Alex placed a comforting hand on Jasmine’s arm.“You know how it is when someone sets their desire and ambition on something. They’ll rationalize anything to get it—destroy whomever they need to, all under the guise of good intentions.”The road to

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

One of the younger cops, barely out of the academy, threw his rifle to the ground and stumbled backward.“Please—I don’t want any part of this! I’m just a rookie, damn it! I don’t even understand what’s going on—don’t lump me in with that psycho!”His voice trembled as he backed away from the carnage.Like a dam finally bursting, other officers followed suit, hands in the air, weapons clattering to the floor. No one wanted a ticket straight to hell alongside Bernard.Bernard’s eyes darted around, his bravado wobbling.“So, that’s it? You’re all turning on me?” He sneered, but his lip quivered. “You idiots really don’t understand the consequences of defying the police, do you?”Kelly cocked her head, a lazy smirk twisting her lips.“Oh, that’s cute—you think you still have any authority here?” She rolled her eyes. “Go ahead, throw your weight around. We’re shaking in our boots, right?”She stepped right into Bernard’s face and slapped him hard, the crack echoing.“Little man with a shi

Mr. Bernard glowered at Alex, jabbing a thick finger into his chest.“Kid, your woman here’s the only one with a damn brain. Listen to her while you still can. Confess, turn yourself in—and maybe, just maybe, you’ll live long enough to see the sun rise again. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’re hunted down like a rabid dog.”His voice shook with anger, cheeks flushing as he spat out every syllable.“I’m a cop, boy. I’ve got the entire force in my back pocket. Face me if you want, but you’re playing with fire!”Alex locked eyes with him, silent. Then, in one swift move, he drove his boot into Bernard’s gut. The impact sent the man lurching.“You’re not worthy to wear that badge.”Bernard’s gag echoed around the small interrogation room.He lurched forward, retching violently, his half-digested dinner splashing onto the concrete.As if that weren’t enough, the sour stench of urine followed. Bernard’s face flamed, tears mixing with sweat.“You—You piece of shit!” he sputtered between wheezi

Ten Minutes EarlierAlex and Sophia sat side by side in the dimly lit interrogation room, their wrists and ankles cuffed with heavy chains bolted to the floor.Sophia’s breathing grew ragged.She hated how the gloom pricked at her brain with worst-case scenarios.“Alex,” she said quietly, her voice trembling, “do you honestly think we’ll get out of here alive?”Alex didn’t move at first.His gaze stayed locked on the metal door. “We will,” he finally muttered. “We’re walking out of this place in one piece. I guarantee it.”A humorless laugh escaped Sophia’s lips.“Easy for you to say. You haven’t had nightmares about this creep, Mr. Bernard. His record in the station is as dirty as it gets.”She swallowed hard, her next words barely above a whisper. “And with Sir Raymond pulling the strings, it’s like they have the entire city in their pocket. We don’t stand a chance.”Alex turned to face her then—really turned, with a look that pinned her in place. “Sophia, have you ever trusted me?
