The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 232

Jericho's breath rasped as Alex's boot ground into his neck.

His checks flamed with humiliation, and his eyes flared with rage and panic.

In all his years clawing his way up-from Vancouver's back alleys to Vermont's glitzy political stage-Jericho had believed himself untouchable.

But now he lay in the dirt like a trampled dog, struggling for every breath under some unstoppable force of a man barely in his

twenties.

He spat dirt from his mouth.

"Let me go..." It came out as a pathetic wheeze, his voice cracking with desperation.

His pilot had been filming everything, eager to broadcast Jericho's triumph to certain smug relatives who'd been hoping to witness him punishing Alex.

Instead, they watched live as Jericho's nose hit the ground and Alex's foot pressed into him, forcing him to choke on his own

shame.

The Vermont families, once bowing to every word Jericho uttered, now stared in horror at his defeat.

They couldn't hear the words exchanged, but they saw enough: Jericho Kane, flattened and forced to kiss the concrete.

Panic spread, and suddenly they rushed to contact Kelly Kingston, throwing their support behind a new governor.

Alex's voice was calm, but each syllable ripped at Jericho's pride.

"Surrender the governorship. Do it willingly, and you and your family get to keep your wealth. You'll stay in business. That's my offer."

Jericho's throat constricted. "And if I refuse?"

Alex pressed down, making Jericho's bones scream.

"I kill you here. Then I'll find your whole family. You won't have a dime left to your name."

He eased up only enough to let Jericho gasp.

"The king has already shown you mercy, even after you schemed to rebel. You think you're so mighty?"

A bolt of terror shot through Jericho. His neck felt on the verge of snapping.

"Fine," he coughed. "I'll step down. Just... let me keep my fortune."
