The Almighty Dominance Chapter 61
Sophia stood looking at her grandpa's unconscious face.The night before, he had called her in, his eyes filled with a sorrow that pierced her heart.He had expressed deep regret over her betrayal—the choices she had made behind his back.She had sworn to herself that she would never repeat those mistakes.Now, with her grandfather lying in a coma, this might be her final chance to make things right.But her grandmother, Amelia Lancaster, placed the entire blame for the Chris Roland scam squarely on her shoulders, despite orchestrating the scheme herself.She even went as far as forcing Sophia into an arranged marriage with Peter Smith—a man twice her age from the affluent Smith family."Sophia," Amelia's voice sliced through the tense silence, cold and commanding."You will ask Alexander for a divorce. Your grandfather spoiled you, but I am the head of this family now. You'll do as I say for the Lancaster name."Sophia met her grandmother's icy gaze without flinching."Grandfather tol

As Alex weaved through the crowded tables, delivering dishes and refilling drinks, he deftly dodged rude customers left and right.Most of them only knew how to yell, lacking any patience whatsoever.But then again, one couldn't exactly expect gentlemanly politeness from uneducated miners who relied more on brawn than brains, right?The food was cheap, which explained why people came and went in a never-ending stream.Out of the corner of his eye, Alex watched Josephine.She moved with practiced efficiency, but there was a weariness in her every motion, a heaviness that seemed to cling to her like the scent of grease in the air.When the lunchtime rush finally subsided, Josephine leaned against the counter, wiping her brow with the back of her hand."Thanks for the help," she said, her voice softer now."Happy to lend a hand," Alex replied.She studied him more closely, her eyes narrowing. "You seem familiar. Have we met before?"It had been more than a decade since they last saw each

As Alex contemplated his next move, Josephine burst out of the kitchen, wielding a frying pan like a weapon, fury blazing in her eyes."I've had enough of this nonsense!" she shouted.One of the thugs lunged at her, but with a swift, powerful swing, the frying pan connected with his face.The sickening crunch of bone echoed as his nose shattered, sending him sprawling to the floor.Alex watched, a flicker of admiration in his eyes—Josephine was as fierce as ever.She wasn't delicate; she was a storm incarnate, and when she struck, the world felt her wrath."Get her!" the fat man barked at the remaining two thugs.Josephine's eyes narrowed. "I cook alone, clean alone, do the laundry alone, wake up early, and come back late every night—all alone!"She swung again, the pan smacking into another thug's cheek with a resounding crack, knocking him down.The last thug drew a small knife.Before he could act, Alex casually tossed an ashtray across the room. It struck the thug's hand, the knif

"Stay here," Alex instructed the children firmly, rushing into the house without hesitation.Inside, two men stood menacingly: one aimed a gun directly at Josephine, while the other struggled to rise from the floor—a clear sign that Josephine had already put up a fight.An elderly woman sat silently in her wheelchair, her eyes filled with both fear and defiance."Drop that stick," the gunman barked at Josephine."This time, I won't miss. I'll shoot you!"Josephine stood her ground in front of the old woman, her arm bleeding from a grazed bullet wound."We're not selling the land," she declared fiercely. "Go back and tell your boss he can go straight to hell!"The man fired a warning shot at the floor near her feet, causing splinters to fly."Looks like you don't understand who you're dealing with," he sneered.The other man, clutching his injured leg, glared at her as he staggered upright."You little bitch," he hissed."You dare to fight back? Take off your clothes. Sign the papers t

Alex walked fearlessly toward the group of gangsters, each armed with knives, machetes, katanas, and handguns—all poised to confront him."How dare you attack our men? You'll die here!" snarled a man with a tattooed face, stepping forward to challenge Alex.Without breaking stride, Alex delivered a swift slap across the man's face, sending him sprawling to the ground, unconscious.A hundred gang members tightened their grips on their weapons, eyes narrowing as they watched him.But none moved to attack. Something about him was off—different.Anyone else facing such a formidable crowd, surrounded by menacing killers wielding an arsenal of weapons, would show at least a flicker of fear.But Alex's eyes held none.He strolled forward as if he were merely walking through a quiet park.The casual ease with which he'd dispatched one of their own left them stunned.They were used to bullying the weak, flaunting their power.But this impenetrable man left them at a loss.They had never encoun

There were ten stacks of crisp $100 bills neatly arranged inside the bag—$100,000 in total.Josephine stared at the money, her eyes wide with shock."Well, that's quite a sum," Alex remarked casually. "Looks like they regretted their actions."Josephine snapped the bag shut and thrust it back toward him."We can't accept this."Alex raised an eyebrow. "And why not?""Because it's dirty money!" she exclaimed."They earned it by selling drugs, extorting innocent people, forcing others out of their homes. Who knows what other terrible things they've done? I won't have any part of it."Alex studied her resolute expression.Despite her obvious need, her principles remained unshaken. "Maybe we should ask the old lady inside. She might have some advice."Inside the modest house, Ruth, the elderly woman in the wheelchair, eyed the money spread out on the table."I'm sorry, Alex," she said softly. "We can't accept this kind of money.""Why not?" Alex frowned. "Money itself isn't evil. Politici

Brock was furious when he discovered that Josephine had the audacity to resign.Seething with anger, he burst into his modest home, the door slamming behind him like a thunderclap."Grace!" he shouted at his wife, who was quietly folding laundry in the living room. "Tomorrow, you're opening the restaurant!"Grace looked up, startled by his outburst. "What happened with Josephine?""She quit! Don't ask any more questions!" he snapped, pacing the room like a caged animal.Grace's face paled."But... I don't know how to cook.""Just do it like you always have!" Brock barked."Brock," she pleaded, her eyes welling up. "I really don't know how to run the restaurant. Can't you find someone else?""Don't argue with me!" he shouted, shoving her aside.Grace stumbled, catching herself against the wall."When I tell you to do something, you do it!"The next morning, Grace stood alone behind the counter of the bustling restaurant, her hands trembling as she struggled to keep up with orders.Broc

"You know what, you're right—I do belong here," Alex said, locking eyes with Florence. "Anything else you need?"Florence's lips twisted into a sneer. "In case that thick skull of yours hasn't figured it out, I'm insulting you, you worthless drifter."“It's a free country, ma'am. You're welcome to say whatever you like.” Alex shrugged lightly. “Doesn't mean I have to take offense.""You pitiful excuse for a man," she spat. "Do you really think ignoring me keeps your dignity intact?"“In my view, you’re poorer than I am. Why should I feel insulted by someone who’s not worth my time?”“You’re shameless,” Florence hissed. “I wish you’d just disappear!”His smile turned icy. “And I wish you a long life—to savor your bitterness even longer.”Florence’s face flushed crimson.Rising abruptly, she called out across the restaurant, “Owner! Is this how you let your staff treat paying customers? This man is insulting me!"From the kitchen, Josephine slammed down a pan and marched over, her eyes

“Mr. Smith, looks like you’re hell-bent on covering up for your little lapdog, huh?” Alex’s eyes sharpened into slits, simmering with quiet menace.Suddenly, everything clicked into place.It became crystal clear why Hans had strutted around so arrogantly—he had a boss even more corrupt and vile pulling his strings.Just when Alex believed he’d witnessed Hans at his absolute worst, George proved there was a far darker abyss lurking beneath.Rotting trees always collapse from within, and Kingston Pharmaceuticals was clearly infested with poisonous maggots like George and Hans.If these vermin were allowed to thrive unchecked, it would spell doom—not just for quality control, but for every honest worker within the company.They sold medicine that wasn’t even approved for sale—just to stuff their own pockets.They didn’t care if it ruined the reputation of Emerald Elixir.All the millions poured into advertising, all the effort to build something exceptional—shattered by the greed of the

Alex watched the entire fiasco unfold, a weary sigh escaping him like a man resigned to cleaning up another mess.He had no appetite for trouble, yet fate had other ideas.Still, Clara was Sophia's aunt, and family ties had a way of complicating even the simplest matters.Reluctantly, Alex moved toward Clara, his footsteps heavy with irritation as Hans slithered away unnoticed.Leaning closer, Alex warned quietly, "A little advice—don't gamble with this one. Things aren’t always as bright as they seem."Clara spun around sharply, eyes blazing with contempt as she assessed him from head to toe."Who the hell do you think you are, sticking your nose into everyone's affairs? Jealous, huh? It must burn to see someone actually succeeding while you rot in obscurity.”“You've already destroyed Charles’s future and turned him against his own sister. And now you want to sabotage me, too? Keep dreaming, loser!"Alex's eyes flickered with restrained annoyance, a cold smile ghosting his lips."Fi
Chapter 278
Ten minutes later, Charles emerged, a chillingly composed smile etched onto his handsome face, his attire immaculate once more, betraying no hint of the destructive storm he’d just unleashed.But beneath his polished exterior, Charles burned with an insatiable hunger for revenge.He had to triumph this time—especially considering the astronomical losses he’d inflicted upon his mother due to the failed SkinDews venture, which had bled nearly half a billion from their coffers.Charles knew he had to act fast; his financial lifeblood was slipping away.Pulling out his sleek phone, Charles quickly dialed one of the managers from Kingston.His voice was coldly decisive, leaving no room for hesitation: “That offer you gave me—I’ll accept. Meet me immediately in the meeting hall.”The voice on the other end responded hastily, anxiety apparent. “Right away, sir. I’m coming to you.”A few moments later, a lean, cunning-faced man with narrow eyes approached Charles, bowing obsequiously.It was

“Well, well, well—if it isn’t Alex! Tell me, are you seriously hoping to snag a distributor deal with Kingston?”Clara sneered venomously, her cold eyes darting downward at Alex as if he were nothing more than dirt under her designer shoes.Alex casually shifted his gaze toward Charles, his voice edged with mockery.“What’s wrong, Charles? Didn’t you tell your friend here exactly who I am?”Clara turned toward Charles, curiosity mingling with disdain in her narrowed eyes.“Charles, what exactly is this grand position he claims?”“Alex?” Charles erupted into contemptuous laughter, the cruel amusement echoing harshly through the room.“Please! He’s nothing but a worthless piece of garbage! He wormed his pathetic way into Jasmine’s bed, becoming her personal boy toy through deception.”“My little sister was naive enough to hand him the title of Chief Physician at Hilton Pharmacy—nothing more than charity for a parasite.”“I believe he begged Jasmine for the position, just to make himself

“Absolutely not—you don't get to touch my boyfriend!”A fierce voice shattered the tense silence, erupting seemingly out of nowhere, jolting both Sophia and Alex as though lightning had struck."Jasmine?" Alex gasped in disbelief, his eyes widening at the unexpected apparition before him.Without hesitation, Jasmine seized Alex's arm possessively, her emerald eyes blazing dangerously toward Sophia, gleaming with venomous defiance."He's my boyfriend, and you absolutely do not have permission to kiss him. If you insist on waiting for my blessing, prepare yourself—it might come, say, in about a hundred years."Sophia was utterly stunned, paralyzed by Jasmine's sudden and fiery entrance."How on earth are you even here?" Alex questioned, clearly shaken by her sudden arrival.With a pout brimming with indignation and tenderness, Jasmine gently struck his chest—not in anger, but in affectionate reproach."You idiot, I was worried sick about you! I heard Owen was causing trouble and rushed
Chapter 275
Alex recalled vividly that Owen's guards were all lying cold and lifeless in pools of their own blood.“Josephine,” he said, his voice laced with a dark intensity, “when one chooses to walk the shadowed path for too long, they inevitably become the very demons they once feared. Even if he had a shred of decency left, when judgment rains down, he’ll drown in it.”“What are you trying to say?” Josephine’s voice quivered, eyes wide with confusion.“The police already got to them. And given that your so-called kind-hearted bodyguard was standing right alongside Owen, he won't escape the storm that’s coming. The law won’t be merciful.”Josephine’s shoulders sank as she released a weary sigh.“He was supposed to walk away sooner...”Alex softened his tone, compassion mingling with his determination.“Listen, since he tried to help you at the last moment, perhaps we should find his family later and offer them some support. What do you think?”A faint, grateful smile lit Josephine’s face, her

“Get your pathetic face out of my sight, Scarlett! Every time I lay eyes on you, my blood boils a little hotter, and if you linger any longer.”“Believe me, I might just lose control and kill you right here,” Jericho snarled venomously, his hand sweeping through the air like he was dismissing an annoying insect.“Yes, sir…” Scarlett's voice trembled, her pride crushed beneath his harsh words.She bowed deeply, her face etched with pain and shadowed by shame.Turning swiftly, she hurried away, shoulders hunched with humiliation.Inside her chest, dread coiled tightly, eclipsing even her former rage.Scarlett knew better than to entertain any reckless thoughts this time. If Owen Whitman, powerful and untouchable, had met such a brutal end, what chance did someone like her stand?And with Jericho clearly aligned with Alex now, she knew her family could easily be next on the chopping block.Everyone in town knew Jericho Kane was a lunatic, and lately, he'd grown even more unhinged since l

Jericho Kane couldn't sleep.Anxiety gnawed at him relentlessly, twisting his stomach in knots.He had explicitly warned his helicopter pilot to avoid any confrontation with Alex, praying silently that no trouble had ensued.But at that very moment, a violent roar pierced through the night air—the unmistakable thunder of helicopter blades slicing the darkness.His pulse quickened as he rushed outside.The chopper descended heavily onto the square, sending dust and leaves spiraling chaotically.The pilot stumbled out, his face ghostly pale, eyes wide with terror.“What happened? Where is Mister Alex?” Jericho demanded urgently, grabbing the pilot's trembling shoulder.The pilot struggled to form words, each one choked out in panic.The more Jericho heard, the more his blood ran cold, a bone-deep dread settling over him like a suffocating fog."Promise me you'll keep everything you've seen tonight a secret," Jericho ordered sharply."Believe me, sir, I want nothing more than to erase th

“I have the Heaven Root,” Alex sneered coldly, his eyes gleaming like shards of ice as he held Josephine protectively.“If you dare risk your pathetic life for it, then come and claim it!”Yorick's eyes narrowed venomously. He could summon his soldiers to shoot Alex into oblivion—but the Heaven Root was far too precious.A single stray bullet could shatter it.“I'll give you one chance,” Yorick growled, barely controlling his rage.“Hand over the Heaven Root. Or we settle this the hard way.”“Hard way?” Alex chuckled mockingly, confidence radiating from every word.“My one leg alone would be enough to crush you. Step forward—if you dare.”With Josephine tightly clasped to him, he knew he could shield her from any attack. Letting her go was not an option.“Excellent!” Yorick barked, his voice dripping with sarcasm and fury.“If you don’t value your pathetic existence, don’t blame me for your miserable fate. soldiers! Forget the guns—use knives! Sever the limbs of this insolent fool! I
