The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Four black vans thundered onto the street like a posse riding in at high noon.

They skidded to a stop, pinning Jasmine's limousine from the front and rear.

About twenty men poured out, each one armed to the teeth and hiding behind masks.

Their leader-burly, tatted up, and mean as a rattlesnake-stepped right up to the window, pounding on the glass with his fist.

"Both of you get out, or we'll blow this tin can to pieces!" He snarled.

Inside the limo, Jasmine's face went pale. The driver looked just as rattled.

"Driver," came Alex's calm voice.

"Y-yes?" the driver stammered, too stunned to keep his voice steady.

"I hear this car's sound system can rattle bones. Mind turnin' it up to full blast?" Alex leaned back, eyes half- lidded like he hadn't a care in the world.

The driver blinked. "What?"

'Is this fella crazy?' he thought. 'Bullets are spraying outside, and he wants music?'

"Classical, if you've got it," Alex added, letting his eyes fall closed.

Jasmine watched him, her own fear momentarily replaced by curiosity.

Then she looked at the driver, speaking softly but with iron in her tone. "Well? You heard the man. Play it."

Outside, gunfire echoed like a hailstorm on a tin roof.

The driver's heart clanged in his chest like a broken bell.

'First the crazy man, now Miss Jasmine? They both lost it, or what?'

But something in his gut told him to follow orders.

Swallowing hard, he reached for the stereo.
