The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 237

"You miserable punk, so eager to meet your maker- then do it on your own and quit dragging us down with you."

Sophia's uncle snarled, rage pumping through his veins, ready to swing at Alex without a second thought.

"You've got some nerve, Alex. The Kanes spared you out of sheer pity, and you still spew this crap? Are you that desperate to get yourself killed?"

Jack spat, contempt twisting his features.

They all saw Alex as an unhinged loudmouth.

Everyone had just settled their differences, so why the hell was he kicking the hornet's nest again?

If he riled the Kanes, who would bear the brunt when they struck back?

Charles might bail them out once, but if Alex shattered that fragile truce, nobody would come to the rescue the next time.

They wanted nothing more than to bury Alex six feet under.

"Is it wrong to demand an apology from someone who attacked you? Am I out of line? Either way, can't you see she's already kneeling like she's been practicing for it?"

Alex said, his tone flat yet dripping with scorn.

Bella broke into sobs at the tension in the air.

"Shut your damn mouth, Alex! You're stirring up trouble and putting our heads on the chopping block!" Florence shouted, jumping to her feet, raw fear fueling her outburst.

"Alex, please, cut it out," Sophia begged through trembling lips, cold sweat dripping down her spine.

She had never expected the man in front of her to fling such incendiary words when they were already on thin ice.

"Fine, I'll stay quiet. It's all on you now."

Alex shrugged off their panic and stepped aside.

But unseen by everyone else, he flicked a tiny bottle to Vetala's hand a quick, silent movement.

Vetala nearly jolted in surprise, thinking it was a hidden weapon, but froze when he realized it held an antidote.
