The Almighty Dominance novel Chapter 549

When Alex heard that his enemy might be the king himself, his heart went ice-cold.

“Countess Marlene,” Alex asked suddenly. “How long have I been here?”

“About twenty three hours since we found you,” Marlene replied.

“Listen to me,” Alex said quickly. “I guess, the only reason I’m still alive is because Sofina, as a princess, demanded my protection. The king may agree—but only for one day. Twenty-four hours.”

He tried to stand, then staggered as his legs failed him.

“After those twenty-four hours,” Alex continued, forcing herself upright, “he’ll send people to kill me again.”

A sharp, brutal pain exploded inside his body. Alex froze. In that instant, He understood.

The king had spared his life—but not his power.

His inner core was gone. Destroyed. Completely erased. The force he had cultivated for years was empty, hollowed out like a burned-out star.

“…Damn it.”

Alex hurriedly pulled on his clothes, his movements stiff and uneven.

“Marlene, I need to leave Prussia. Now. If the king unleashes his full force, I won’t make it out of this country alive.”

“Are you sure he’ll go that far?” Marlene asked, her brows tightening.

Alex let out a bitter laugh. “King Wilhelm Augustus is the type who uses a nuclear strike to kill a rat. He never holds back when it comes to eliminating his enemies.”

He started toward the door, pain tearing through his with every step.

“Marlene,” Alex said sharply, her face pale, “call our fastest, most secure aircraft. I need to get out of Prussia immediately.”

For the first time, Marlene saw real panic in Alex’s eyes.

“Yes, sir,” she said quickly. “The aircraft will arrive in three minutes. We need to reach the hospital rooftop. Now.”

“Fine.”

Alex walked out of the room in a hospital gown, her body screaming in protest. Each step felt like broken glass grinding inside him.

“Give me a secure bracelet,” Alex said. “I need to make contact.”

All his instincts were screaming.

If he made one wrong move now—

He would die.

Marlene pulled out a small black box and opened it. Inside was a thin, transparent band.

“Sir, this is a secured nanobot communication device,” Marlene explained. “It can connect you directly to Gaia. Completely untraceable. Nano-grade communication—the latest technology we developed a decade ahead of Prussia.”

Alex took the transparent band and lifted it to the back of his ear.

The moment it touched his skin, it dissolved—breaking down into countless nanobots that slipped beneath the surface and vanished into his flesh.

A screen flickered to life directly in front of Alex’s eyes—projected inside his vision, wired straight to his brain. Completely invisible. Completely untraceable.

Alex connected instantly.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Logan answered.

“Logan,” Alex said urgently while moving. “The one who murdered your family is King Wilhelm Augustus.”

“What?” Logan gasped.

“Listen carefully,” Alex said. “Tell everyone in Estoria this: I, the King of Estoria, have ordered that we will not go to war until victory is absolutely certain. No less than five years.”

“Your Majesty,” Logan replied, forcing himself to stay calm, “according to Bella’s calculations, we only need one year to guarantee victory against Prussia.”

“That’s exactly the problem,” Alex said coldly. “We could win in one year if we attack from both inside and outside. But the situation has changed.”

“How has it changed?” Logan asked.

“That King Wilhelm Augustus controls every stream of information in Prussia,” Alex said. “If he’s targeting me, there’s a ninety-percent chance my identity as a spy—and as the founder of Eden Group—is already exposed. He knows everything.”

“…What?” Logan’s voice shook. “Your cover is blown?”

“Yes—ninety percent he already sees me as a threat with the power I have right now,” Alex said. “I’m on my way back to Estoria. The king tried to kill me yesterday, and I’m certain he’ll try again. We need to be ready.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Logan said immediately.

By then, Alex had reached the hospital rooftop. The massive aircraft was already descending, engines roaring as it prepared to take him and Marlene aboard.

“Listen to me, Logan,” Alex said as he moved toward the aircraft. “I will return to Estoria—but I’ll pass through Xia first. I’ll act as a decoy. Prussia must not attack Estoria. They may know I’m a spy, but they don’t know I belong to Estoria. They’ll assume I’m from Xia.”

Alex stepped into the aircraft.

“If something happens to me,” he continued, his voice steady but heavy, “you will pretend that the King of Estoria is still alive for at least five years. Make sure Prussia never learns the truth. After those five years—if I haven’t returned—you can do whatever you want. Take the throne if you must.”

He paused.

“But make sure Estoria is strong enough to stand against Prussia in five years.”

“Your Majesty,” Logan said softly.

The aircraft door opened.

“I’ve sent the recording to the others. They’ll understand,” Alex said as he cut the call. He turned to Marlene, his expression hard. “You’re not coming with me. Stay here. We’ll talk by secure call.”

“But, sir—” Marlene started.

“Don’t argue,” Alex snapped, then looked toward the cockpit. “Everyone out of this aircraft. I’ll fly it alone.”
