The Almighty Dominance (by Sunshine) novel Chapter 452

“Jerk!” Nikolaus shouted, his voice echoing across the parking lot. “Don’t mess with me, return my car!”

Alex didn’t even flinch. He turned his back and started walking away, calm as a man who’d already won.

“I’m not playing with you,” he said. “The system recorded our bet. It’s automatic—government protocol. You lost, Nikolaus. That means your car transfers to me. I didn’t have to lift a finger.”

“You’re half a slave,” Annabella snapped, stepping forward. “You’re not even allowed to own any property!”

Alex smiled. “You’re right. That’s why the car’s under my wife’s name now. Sofina.”

He glanced at the luxury flying car behind him, then back at them. “You two should probably call a taxi. Or walk. And hey—thanks for the car.”

Nikolaus’s face flushed crimson. His day had already been hell—his family collaboration got canceled, his father tore into him, and now this. Losing his car to Alex was the final nail. Fury took over reason.

“You bastard!” he roared, charging at Alex.

But Alex had already stepped back toward the glass entrance of the Eden Group tower.

Before Nikolaus could swing, the android security units moved in—fast, mechanical precision.

A sharp crack split the air.

Nikolaus jerked violently as the taser hit him. His body stiffened, then collapsed onto the marble floor. The shock made him lose control—his pants darkened wet as the crowd gasped.

Annabella screamed and rushed to him. But the androids misread her movement. Their scanners flagged her as an aggressor trying to breach restricted access.

Another jolt flashed.

She hit the floor beside him, her hair standing on end, her breath shallow.

Both of them lay there, twitching under the bright corporate lights while onlookers pulled out their phones.

They watched because they needed someone else’s ruin to feel alive.

Within minutes, photos and clips flooded the city’s feed—Baron Krüger’s son and his fiancée, electrocuted and humiliated in front of Eden Group headquarters.

By afternoon, everyone in Winchester had seen it. Rumors spread like wildfire. No one knew the full story, but everyone agreed on one thing: the Krüger family had crossed Eden Group.

By evening, their reputation was in ashes.

Workers from the Krüger estate—men and women who’d built their lives on Eden Group contracts—were dismissed overnight. Without those connections, the family’s empire collapsed like a house of cards. Within days, their wealth evaporated.

Once a proud name among Winchester’s elite, the Krügers were now clinging to survival—a fallen barony buried under debt, scandal, and the ashes of its former glory.

To survive, they had no choice but to sell off their land piece by piece, just to cover what they owed the banks.

The Krügers had been kings of the city once. Now, they were ghosts walking through the ruins of their own pride.

Baroness Wolfsbane’s hands trembled as she stared at the photo of Nikolaus and Annabella splashed all over the news feed.

The humiliation burned hotter than she could bear.

She had treated Nikolaus kindly—almost like her own—because he’d promised to become the bridge between the Wolfsbane family and the Eden Group.

That alliance could have elevated her status, secured her family’s power. But now, after that disgraceful scene, even Annabella looked like she’d been blacklisted.

And before the day was over, another headline struck like a lightning bolt:

The Krüger family officially cut off from all Eden Group collaborations.

The news spread through Winchester like wildfire. Streets buzzed, boardrooms erupted, and noble families whispered in panic and excitement.

Then came the second shock—rumors spread that the mysterious founder of Eden Group himself had been seen at the company’s Winchester headquarters earlier that very day.

For two years, since the Eden Group first emerged, no one truly knew who stood behind it.

No public appearances. No confirmed name. Just a legend—a man powerful enough to build thirty branches across Prussia, to dominate the markets and bend nobles to his will.

Now, it seemed he had finally arrived in Winchester.

That single rumor set the city ablaze. Every wealthy and powerful household scrambled to act.

Every noble family wanted one thing—to get close to this mysterious founder. And for those with eligible daughters, another ambition burned just as bright: marriage.

But the biggest shock came from Eden’s official announcement—they were searching for a new family to replace the Krügers.

It was the opportunity of a lifetime. The Krügers had reached unprecedented wealth in just two years of partnership.

Everyone knew what it meant: whoever filled their shoes would rise fast, become untouchable, rich beyond measure.

The competition began before the ink was dry.
