The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 202

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 throat.

"P-please," he stammered, bowing so low that his forehead scraped the pavement.

"I messed up, okay? I butted in where I shouldn't have. Raymond-do whatever the hell you want with him. I won't interfere."

On the inside, Henry was burning.

This was a humiliation so foul it made his

eyes water.

No way was he letting it slide. His thirst for revenge was tuming into an obsession, but for now, he'd eat the dirt.

He'd be back.

Alex eyed him with a mix of disgust and boredom.

"Fine," he muttered. "Killing you here would be a waste of time. I don't need a horde of Chicago Lo down my neck. It's just disgusting, finding a pack of filthy dogs in front of your house just because you kicked the dirty puppy."

"Go on, crawl back under whatever rock you came from."

Alex released his aura, and in an instant, six bodyguards releasing from the weight that pushing them-they bolted to Henry's side and hauled their battered young master into a gleaming black limousine.
