The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 464

"So, you're choosing the second option," Alex said.

Heinrich's lips twisted into a cruel grin. "Who the hell do you think you are, threatening me?" he barked, voice thick with arrogance and scorn.

A low, mocking laugh followed. "Do you even have the slightest idea who I am?"

He turned, spreading his arms, drawing the crowd in like a showman demanding attention.

"Look at him!" he barked, jabbing a finger at Alex. Faces turned.

"This half-breed servant has completely lost his goddamn mind!” he sneered. "This bastard thinks he can ruin me! I'm Heinrich Schiller! People beg for my time, they fight to have me on their projects!

"I'm one of Winchester's greatest minds! And you-" he stepped closer, "-you're nothing but a filthy street dog pretending to be a man.”

Alex didn't flinch. He just stared back, calm and unreadable, like someone studying a corpse that hadn't realized it was dead yet.

Alex tapped his bracelet and spoke into it. "Marlene. Heinrich Schiller is accusing Sofina Scheinwald of trading her bodies to Eden Group executives to secure deals. He's slandering the Eden Group name. Ruin him. Two minutes."

"You think you're great, pretending to be someone important?" he snarled, a mocking laugh ripping out of him. "You think I can't play this game? I can play it better than you."

Heinrich leaned forward, every word a knife. "Loser, I'll give you two choices. One: divorce Sofina and kneel to me or your life ends right here."

His eyes went cold as iron. "Two: I will break you, cripple you, maybe kill you. Either way, Sofina stays with me. Decide. Now. One minute."

Alex glanced at his watch. "You still have eighty seconds. After that, there's no turning back. Enjoy whatever time you've got."

"Fuck off!" Heinrich shouted "Think you can bluff me into regret? Forty seconds! Get on your knees now or you'll regret it forever!"

He counted them down like a man setting a clock for dynamite. "Twenty-five... fifteen... five... Time's up."

Heinrich stepped forward, shoulders coiled, ready to strike.

Right then, Heinrich's bracelet buzzed. The sound sliced through the hall.

He flinched, glanced down, and saw the caller ID- Government Office. His heart skipped. He swallowed hard and answered, voice shaky. "Yes?"

A stern face filled the holographic screen - a government officer in uniform, voice sharp and formal.

"Mr. Heinrich Schiller, we've received formal reports from the Eden Group executives," the officer said, his tone clipped and official.
