The Almighty Dominance (by Sunshine) novel Chapter 386

The Chief of Police’s face drained of color.

“No, I mean… yes. Yes, you dare to pull the trigger.”

“No,” Jose exhaled slowly, almost tired. “I don’t dare to pull the trigger. Do you know why?”

“I… I don’t know, Governor. Please, tell me.”

“The last time I killed a man was during the rebellion, forty years ago. That man was the Governor before me. I swore to the people his blood would be the last I shed, so Vinland could finally know peace.”

The Chief of Police nodded rapidly, desperate to cling to his words. “Yes, yes, Governor. You’re right. Killing is useless. Especially killing me—”

“But I was wrong,” Jose cut him off, his voice low and heavy.

“People whisper that I’m weak because I let the mockery slide. Because I don’t punish fools who act like I’m blind, like I’m some impotent governor sitting on a crumbling throne. And truthfully…”

His eyes narrowed, his tone dropped to a growl. “I never cared about their little games.”

But then Jose’s face twisted, rage boiling over. His hand shook with fury as the barrel of his gun pressed harder against the Chief’s forehead.

“But you crossed the line. You tried to touch my family.”

“Sir—I swear—I didn’t know about this! Please—”

“You speak of justice, but all you do is obey Bernard. How can a man like you sit at the top of law enforcement?”

“Governor—”

The shot cracked like thunder. The Chief’s eyes went wide with disbelief.

Regret flickered for the briefest second—if only—but then his head hit the floor, blood spilling fast across the tiles.

Jose pulled out his phone and dialed. “Lee, I killed Bernard. And the Chief of Police.”

There was silence on the other end before Lee, the head of Vinland Security, spoke. “For real?”

“For real.”

Lee burst out laughing. “Damn, Jose. About time you put those bastards down. You want help finishing off the rest? Plenty of them are already aiming for your neck—or your retirement.”

“For now, just clean up these two first,” Jose sighed.

“Fine. Our people will take care of it,” Lee replied. Then his tone shifted. “Anything else I should know?”

“I have a granddaughter. They’re aiming for her.”

Lee coughed into the phone, his tone turning grave. “If you’re planning to make her your successor, then you’ll have to clear out a mountain of enemies inside your own government first.”

Jose already knew the storm he had unleashed.

“Then we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s start by separating friend from foe.”

The Vinland state was about to undergo a brutal reformation—from the inside.

Back at a small clinic in the Vancouver slums, Alex lay on his bed when he heard a knock at the door. He opened it to find Josephine standing there, awkward in her pajamas.

“What’s up?” Alex asked.

“Um… can I come in?” she murmured.

“Sure.” Alex stepped aside, and she sat on the edge of his bed.

“I don’t even know how to ask this,” Josephine said softly. “But do you think the old man Jose and Lucia will be okay?”

“They will,” Alex said, taking a seat across from her. “They still have plenty of loyalists from the old days. All they need is time to rearrange everything. Including…” He paused, the words hanging in the air.

“Including what?” Josephine asked quickly.

“Your connection to them,” Alex replied at last. “They’ll want to test your blood, your DNA. Don’t pin too much hope on it.”
