The Almighty Dominance Chapter 205
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,
The Almighty Dominance Chapter 206
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

“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

“Neisseria meningitidis.”“What the hell is that, a spell from Harry Potter?” Charles snapped, his voice already tinged with panic.Mr. Fleming adjusted his glasses with that smug little twitch of his lips.“It’s a bacteria, Charles. A nasty little bastard that sets your brain and spine on fire. Meningitis. Blood infection. Seizures. Hallucinations. You name it—it’s a party in your skull.”“Oh, delightful,” Charles groaned, clutching his neck. “My brain feels like it’s being skewered by hot forks already.”“Classic early symptoms: fever, neck stiffness, nausea, photophobia, altered mental state…” Fleming rattled it off like he was reading a damn shopping list, but there was a flicker of fear underneath his calm.Alex sipped his tea, legs crossed like he was watching a comedy show. “Wow. Bravo, Professor Pathogen. Remind me to nominate you for a Nobel Prize in stating the obvious.”Fleming shot him a glare, but Alex didn’t even flinch. “But it's funny, isn’t it? So close, yet you still

Jessica slammed her hand down on the polished oak table, her voice echoing through the wide foyer.“Enough of this!” She glared at Alex, her eyes wild with desperation.“Hand over the antidote, Alex! We’ll count this as our loss, but I won’t let Charles die. Not like this.”Alex paused only for a split second, hatred etched into every rigid line of his jaw.Then he turned away without a word and strode out the grand entrance, his boots pounding hard against the marble floor.The echo lingered, mocking Jessica’s plea.Jessica’s heart sank. She could see it clearly: Alex had no intention of saving Charles.Charles clutched his side, trembling as unbearable pain crawled through his veins.Sweat poured down his temples, his face a mask of pure agony.“I’m sorry!” he shouted, his voice shaking as he fought to stay upright. “Please… just give me the antidote. I swear I won’t ever cross your path again!”His pride—once unshakeable—had shattered under the threat of death.It took everything i

Jasmine swept out of the mansion’s towering entrance, heart pounding as she spotted Alex waiting by the ornate gates.Without a word, she wrapped her arms around him, pressing her face against his chest.“Just... let me stay like this,” she whispered shakily. “I need it more than I can say.”Alex held her close, voice gentle. “You’re doing better than you think.”Tears pricked at Jasmine’s eyes.“Why, Alex? Why is this happening to us? Why can’t we just laugh like we used to, back when everything was simple? Why does it have to be this vicious fight?”He sighed, resting his chin against her hair. “You know the answer—you have to protect yourself.”Her words trembled with bitterness. “I hate what I’ve turned into, but there’s no other way.”Hours later, the two found themselves by the rolling surf at the beach.Moonlight glittered on dark waves.Alex breathed in the salty air, trying to calm Jasmine’s anxious spirit.Then both their smartwatches buzzed.“A message from Charles,” Alex m

One hour ago, the Lancasters had pulled up to the curb so fast it felt like they’d practically skidded to a stop.The sign above the storefront read “King of Herbal,” its chipped paint glinting in the morning sun.Sophia, Jack, Florence, and Florence’s youngest sister, Clara, climbed out of the car A warm breeze carried the scent of dried leaves and faint spices from the shop’s open door.Florence glanced at Clara, perplexed. “You said you wanted to buy a present. Why’d you bring us to this herbal place?”Clara, dressed in a sleek blouse and heels far too tall for an errand run, leaned in conspiratorially.“It’s not just any herb shop, big sis,” she whispered. “They’ve got something incredibly rare here—Verdantheart Root.”Florence’s brow furrowed. “Verdantheart Root? And that’s… good for what, exactly?”Clara’s eyes lit up. “I work for Jericho Kane, remember? He’s got a pharmaceutical empire, and this Verdantheart Root is the missing piece they’ve been hunting for years. If I snag i

Clara squared her shoulders, staring down the skiny shopkeeper with unwavering confidence.“What’s with that look?” Clara demanded. “Think I can’t afford whatever it is I want? Just name your price.”The shopkeeper raised his hand, spreading five skinny fingers. “If you truly want it, I won’t stop you. But it’ll cost fifty grand.”“Fifty grand?” Florance eyebrows shot up. “Half a million dollars? You must be crazy. What do you think this stuff is—gold?”Florence’s mind spinning at the amount. She had guessed it would be high, but hearing the price out loud made her stomach drop.“The price is fair at half a million,” the shopkeeper said firmly. “Trust me, this is the best deal you’ll get. Quality comes at a cost.”Florence tried a gentler approach. “Is there any way to lower it a little? That’s…steep.”But her plea only seemed to irritate him. “You must be new here. Our store’s called The King of Herbal for a reason. We don’t do haggling. If you want to bargain, go haggle with the Gri

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

“Jericho Kane? What does he want with the Heaven Root?” Alex asked.“I heard his daughter’s suffering from a rare genetic heart condition, and he thinks the Heaven Root can save her,” Kelly explained, glancing at Alex.“Bella Kane?” Alex repeated.“Yes,” Kelly confirmed.Alex let out a weary sigh. He imagined Bella hiding her pain beneath an elegant façade. No wonder Jericho Kane spoiled her every whim and excused her worst habits.“Alex, how should we handle this?” Kelly asked, her tone unsettled by the news.“I’ve got to get my hands on that Heaven Root,” Alex declared without hesitation.“There’s no time to waste. I’ll head to Vermont today.”He stepped outside the clinic and was stunned to see a group of homeless men clashing with two brutish thugs lugging a drum.The looks on those thugs’ faces made it clear they were up to no good.“What’s going on here?” Alex demanded.“Doc, these two louts were about to pour oil around the clinic,” one of the homeless men said.“We figure they

“Finally, Owen is here!” Bella let out a delighted laugh, her eyes shining with relief.“Bella! Scarlett! Are you alright?” The tall, broad-shouldered man rushed toward them, completely ignoring Alex as though he were invisible.He stood with a commanding presence, sharp-eyed and radiating an unmistakable air of nobility that set him apart from common folk.“We’re fine,” Bella answered, her voice bright with gratitude, “all thanks to Alex, who saved us.”“Oh, really?” Owen Whitman’s tone dripped with skepticism as he raked his gaze over Alex.“Bella, a man’s face doesn’t reveal his true character. You’d do well to steer clear of strangers.”Suddenly, Owen’s expression twisted. “Wait. I know you—aren’t you the Alex who had the nerve to slap Bella?”His eyes blazed with fury. “I’ve been searching everywhere for you after what you did to her.”Bella darted between Owen and Alex, her movements frantic.“Owen, stop it! It was my fault, and we’ve settled it already. My father forgave the wh

A thunderous crash split the air as the glass doors of the center were smashed in, shards spraying across the floor.Without hesitation, ten masked assassins swept inside.“Damn it, they caught up to us!” Scarlett spat. They had been ambushed along the way to the slums, where their entire security detail was wiped out.Only she and Bella survived and managed to escape—or so they thought.The assassins refused to let them go.“Bella, I’ll hold them off,” Scarlett hissed. “You have to get out through the back door.”Bella’s face had gone pale. “If I run, you’ll definitely be killed. I’m their main target, so they won’t harm me. Let me be their hostage.”“Bella, I’m your bodyguard,” Scarlett said, planting herself in front of Bella with grim resolve.“My job is to protect you—so do as I say.”A cold, ragged voice interrupted them.“No need to argue. This place has no back door—you’re not going anywhere. We’ll be taking both of you.”A middle-aged man with a scarred face stepped in, laugh
