The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 324

Jasmine stared in disbelief, eyes wide with shock.

"Did he seriously just run away?"

Without hesitation, Alex gripped the axe tightly and swung it fiercely.

The blade spun through the air, slicing toward Hugh. But Hugh, as if sensing danger behind him, dodged swiftly to one side, narrowly escaping.

Heart pounding in desperation, Hugh sprinted toward the cover of the jungle, convinced he had cheated death.

Just steps away from safety, his body lurched violently forward, and he crashed face-first onto the dusty earth.

Pain exploded in his leg.

Glancing back, Hugh's heart sank as he saw another axe embedded in the ground behind him and his severed ankle lying nearby, blood soaking into the dirt.

Frantic, Hugh summoned all his remaining strength, channeling his inner energy to stem the bleeding.

If he could hold out, the doctor might still salvage his limb.

"Please, please! Spare me!" Hugh wailed, his voice trembling, the bravado gone from his desperate eyes.

Alex approached slowly, his face unreadable, studying the pathetic figure on the ground.

This man—once arrogant and fierce—had folded like paper when truly tested. "Jasmine," Alex sighed deeply, turning his gaze toward her, "It's your choice. He kidnapped you, hurt you. What happens next is up to you."

Jasmine stepped forward confidently, her smile cold and unforgiving.

"Wh-what will you do to me?" Hugh stammered, terror gripping him.

His mind raced. How had he fallen so far? He was a level-50 powerhouse, unstoppable in every battle he'd fought.

Yet here he was, helpless before some nobody kid.

Who was this guy?

"You know, Hugh," Jasmine said calmly, leaning over him slightly, "I warned you about Alex. I told you exactly how dangerous he was, but you didn't believe me."

She flashed a chilling smile. "Alex, would you mind making sure he'll never forget today? Shatter his knee."

"With pleasure," Alex replied coolly, stepping next to Hugh and delivering a casual but brutally powerful kick.

Hugh screamed, agony tearing through him as the bone in his knee shattered.

"I was wrong!" Hugh gasped desperately, tears streaming down his face. "Jasmine, I believe you now! Your man is powerful-he's unbeatable! Please forgive me!"

Jasmine crouched, looking directly into Hugh's desperate eyes.
