The Almighty Dominance Chapter 527

Alex continued.

Ten boxes.

Fifteen boxes.

Twenty boxes.

Every single one was the same.

No hidden compartments.

No secret mechanisms.

Just useless junk.

Nothing special.

After checking every wooden box, Alex straightened calmly.

There was nothing else.

Clearly, it had been pure luck.

“I’ll take only this book,” Alex said, lifting the nameless volume. “Tell me where to transfer the money.”

“Sir, our boss said there’s no need,” Klaus replied, bowing again. “Thank you for visiting our establishment.”

“No,” Alex said firmly. “You’re running a business. I take the book, I pay for it. Open your bank account.”

Klaus didn’t dare argue. He tapped his bracelet, activating his three-dimensional banking interface.

Alex tapped his own bracelet, aligned it with Klaus’s, and completed the transfer.

One million dollars—sent instantly.

Klaus watched the number appear, his throat tightening.

“Thank you for your payment, sir,” he said carefully.

“No problem,” Alex replied. He turned to Pauline. “Pauline, let’s go home.”

“Okay,” Pauline answered, standing.

“Wait.”

A woman stepped forward.

She was stunning—tall, sharp-featured, her figure wrapped in sleek, high-tech clothing that clung to her like liquid metal. Every step radiated authority. Her gaze locked onto the book in Alex’s hand.

“Give me that book,” she said coldly.

“Nope.” Alex slipped the book into his pocket without hesitation. “I already bought it. You didn’t.”

Her eyes darkened. “I warn you. I’ve been searching for that book for a long time. It belongs to me.”

Alex sneered. “I bought it here.”

She spun toward Klaus, fury snapping in her eyes. “I told you. Every unnamed book from Xia is mine.”

Klaus bowed deeply. “Miss Leonora von Silberkreuz, I apologize. But that book already belongs to this gentleman.”

Leonora’s expression hardened, sharp as steel. “Then take it from him. I want that book.”

Klaus’s face drained of color. “For that… I don’t dare, Miss Leonora.”

She froze. Shock flickered across her face. Klaus had never refused her before.

Her anger flared. “Do you understand the consequences of refusing my demand?”

“Miss Leonora von Silberkreuz,” Klaus said, bowing again, his voice steady despite the fear, “Duke Silberkreuz is known for his kindness and justice. I believe he will understand once I explain everything. Please don’t make this more difficult.”

He lifted his head slightly, eyes grave.

“This gentleman… is not someone I can afford to offend.”

Leonora studied Alex carefully, her gaze sharp and probing.

Is this man really someone special?

Her grandfather’s voice echoed in her mind: It’s better to make friends than enemies.

Dissatisfaction still burned in her chest, but she forced it down. Straightening, she donned a practiced, graceful smile.

“Hello. I’m Leonora von Silberkreuz, daughter of the Silberkreuz family. How should I address you?” She looked at Alex. “I’m willing to pay ten times what you paid.”

Alex smiled faintly. “So you believe everything has a price.”

“And you don’t?”

“I do,” Alex replied calmly. “Just not one you can afford.”

Leonora’s smile held—barely.

“…How unfortunate.”

“Yes,” Alex agreed. “For you.”

Pauline winced. Klaus nearly fainted.

Silberkreuz.

The Silberkreuz family—the most elite family in Winchester. The true owners of the city itself.

Duke Silberkreuz was a name that made nobles bow and corporations kneel.

Pauline never imagined she would encounter someone from that family in a place like this.

Alex, however, showed no reaction at all.

The Silberkreuz family was immensely powerful. But Alex was the richest man in Prussia. Even dukes bowed before wealth.

Leonora had never been rejected in Winchester. Whenever she spoke, people scrambled to please her, desperate to curry favor. She always got what she wanted—no questions asked.

Klaus knew it.

Pauline knew it.

The moment people heard the name Silberkreuz, they bowed.

But Alex didn’t.

Leonora bit her lip hard. She truly wanted that book.

A man behind her stepped forward, his eyes cold. “Miss Leonora, if he refuses to hand it over, why don’t I take it from him myself? Even if he dies, it can be written off as an accident.”

Alex glanced at him. “That’s very brave.”

The man sneered. “You don’t look scared.”

“I’m not,” Alex replied. “I was admiring your confidence.”

“…In what?”

“In believing your life insurance covers stupidity.”

Klaus broke into a cold sweat. Panic seized him. He shouted into his communicator.

“Men! Protect this gentleman with your lives! Anyone can die—but this gentleman must not be harmed!”

Leonora and her guards stared at him in shock.

Klaus stepped directly in front of Alex as his men formed a wall behind him, weapons drawn.

“Stand aside, Klaus,” Leonora snapped.

Klaus stepped forward instead. “With respect, miss, this is the most correct position I’ve ever taken.”

“You’re choosing him?”

Klaus nodded solemnly. “Yes.”

“…Over the Silberkreuz family?”

Klaus exhaled. “Miss, your family can ruin my business.”

He glanced back at Alex. “He can erase my existence.”

“Klaus!” one of the guards barked. “How dare you threaten Leonora von Silberkreuz!”

“I’m warning you,” Klaus said firmly. “This gentleman is not to be touched. If you proceed, I will file a formal report directly to Duke Silberkreuz himself—stating that you attempted to seize a shop by force and threatened innocent people without cause. Let us see how the duke judges that.”

The man laughed softly, eyes gleaming with malice.

“He’ll just destroy this shop.”

He raised his hand.

“Everyone—prepare your weapons.”

The armed men shifted their stances.

One wrong word would shatter everything.
