Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 105 - Big Brown Envelope
Timbersea grabbed onto his shirt. “How do you know about that?”“You know how, Timbersea, except if you choose to lie to yourself about it.” Vaughn smirked as he shoved his hands off him.“Sniffing!” he groaned, clearing the content on his table on the floor. He had let his guard down and they had managed to sniff him out.“This is not the time to throw tantrums, Timbersea. I will only name the conditions that will get me off your back. All you have to do is agree and I’m off.”“Have Kael disappeared back to his turf. Strip him of his title of being a warlord so he never posed a threat to the War God.”“That is extreme!”“I Know the king would have you both executed if he heard about this.” Timbersea said with a gray smile on his face that Timbersea compose himself at once.“The Crimson order and the other factions that exist under you will be dissolved and you will make sure this never happens again!” he said firmly.Then he moved close to him to adjust his shirt. “This envelope ha
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 106 - Emotionless face
Tina opened the envelope up and saw the number Candy attached to it. “She left a number, Ena. I should call it.”“Be careful okay?” Ena warned. "He is a stranger."Tina punched his phone number into her phone and dialed it at once. The recipient picked after two rings.“Hello, I am Tina Snow. Am I on the phone with Alex Cole?” She asked, then the line went silent for a minute, her heart started racing hard as she was patiently waiting for his reaction.Alex on the other end, was thinking about if he knew the person in the past, the name seemed familiar but he could not place where he had heard it first in his head. Well, he was going to find out.He finally spoke back to her “Yes, I am Alex Cole, how may I help you?”“I am Tina, your family friend, we knew each other as a child, because our families were close. We used to hang out a lot as kids.”That triggered Alex’s memory and he remembered a little girl from the Snow's family that was always running after him when they were kids.“
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 107 - Impression
Alex was sitting in the restaurant, waiting for Tina who was supposed to have arrived ten minutes ago, just as he was about to leave, Donald Brouen apparocahed hm, “Alex.” he called, attracted his attention.“Mr Bourne.”He called back after turning to see who had called him.“I knew i had had the right person when I saw your back view. How have you been?”“Good. I hope you and your family members are in good health.”“Yes. Alex, My daughter and my little brother are over there. We came here for a business meeting.”“Ah, I see.”“How about you join us for lunch? Our meeting is over.”Alex didn’t want to have to dine with Raymond after that call he had gotten from him, besides Bella Bourne had been pushing herself on him.“I’m waiting for someone here, I won’t be able to join you for that dinner.” He said firmly.“What a pity, I was really hoping that you joined us but I understand that you have an appointment with someone, my wife was going to ask you to join us for dinner sometime.”
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 108 - Silver Fang
Tina’s words landed with a strange weight, but Alex remained calm in his seat, masking the flicker of confusion beneath his expression.A soft chuckle slipped from his lips. “Is this how people joke around in Trim City? First I’m getting ambushed by war gods, now I’m getting surprise marriage proposals.”Tina’s face didn’t flinch. “It’s not a joke, Alex. We’re engaged. Don’t you remember? You promised to marry me when we were kids. I told you over the phone, and now I’ve brought proof.”She reached into her purse and pulled out a worn, folded piece of paper. She slid it across the table like a winning hand in a high-stakes game.Alex blinked. His gaze dropped to the childish scrawl on the old paper. It was faded, torn around the edges,but unmistakably his signature was there, written in messy ink.He exhaled slowly. The memory hit him like a whisper from the past. He had been around nine or ten. Tina had been chasing him relentlessly around the village, pestering him day after day. De
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 109 - Vales of Echoes
Alex didn’t sleep deeply. His eyes had been closed, but his mind never rested. The silver-fanged token from Elder Ruvan sat quietly on the glass table near his bed, its glow faint but steady.He got up before the sun. The room was quiet, high above the noise of Trim City. He took a long look out the window. Something inside him knew, whatever he walked into now, he wouldn’t be the same when he came out.He didn't pack much. Just his pouch with two vials: one healing serum and one antidote. Not because he was scared, but because it was a habit. Life had taught him to carry something sharp, something quiet, and something that could save his life.Ruvan said, “Come alone. Bring nothing.”Alex would come alone.But empty-handed? Never.He left the hotel the quiet way, using the back stairs and service exit. A few staff nodded at him. None asked questions. One cleaner glanced at him longer than usual, then looked away. Alex ignored it. He always noticed more than he let on, but today wasn’
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 110 - Cloudshroud Mountain
The light in the sky had not yet broken through the forest canopy when Alex Cole opened his eyes. He had not slept the entire night. Instead, he had spent hours sitting by the shallow pond in the heart of the Vale of Echoes, watching as mist swirled over the surface like the breath of something ancient.Elder Ruvan’s voice broke through the silence. “The Vale is watching you.”Alex did not turn around. “I know.”Elder Ruvan walked closer, hands folded behind his back. He was not a man of many expressions, but even he was struggling to conceal the intrigue behind his eyes.“You have passed through the Gate of Silence. The Vale does not grant access to just anyone. The seal you awakened yesterday… it belongs to a path no one has walked for over three centuries.”Alex slowly rose to his feet. His robe was soaked from the dew on the grass, but he didn’t mind. The pendant that Freya had given him had disappeared the moment it merged into the seal’s altar. His chest still carried the warmth
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 111 - Corrupted qi
Alex Cole moved swiftly through the woods at the edge of the Vale, the scroll from Elder Ruvan secured tightly in his inner robe. His steps were silent, and his thoughts focused.The path to Cloudshroud Mountain was narrow and almost invisible to the untrained eye. Moss-covered rocks and twisting vines tried to hide the trail from outsiders. But Alex could now see the energy veins beneath the ground, the pulsing flow of spiritual current guiding his every step.The knowledge that had entered his body in the Cavern of Reflection was not like anything he had studied in the medicine village. It had embedded itself into his meridians, flowing like a second breath inside him. His eyes saw more than they should have. His skin felt more than it ever had. His sense of energy, balance, and danger had heightened to levels he never experienced before.But this power came with a warning.He could now sense presences even when they were far away.And there was one such presence following him.He
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 112 - Returns home with nothing
Alex’s fingers brushed the petal of the White Snake Flower.A pulse ran up his arm.Warm at first, then sharp.It wasn’t just energy. It was recognition.The flower knew who he was.The black roots around it retracted completely, curling back into the earth like snakes returning to a nest. The petals, now pure white again, opened slowly. They gave off a faint shimmer that danced in the mist. It was unlike anything Alex had seen or studied. No drawing or description in the medicine village matched this exact glow.He plucked the flower gently.There was no resistance. No flash. No pain. The stem separated smoothly from the earth.Alex held it in his hand, staring at it for a few seconds.Then he turned and walked back toward the archway.The Shadow Temple men had vanished. Not a trace of their presence remained. Even their corrupted qi had dissolved into the wind.Nara was still standing where she had been earlier, her face pale and her breath unsteady.“You really did it,” she said. H

Chapter 179 - Four times
The throne chamber was not usually this quiet.But on this morning, no one dared to speak out of turn.The long ceremonial hall, gilded with beams of gold lacquer and painted phoenixes, stood bathed in soft sunlight that filtered through tall stained-glass windows. Every footstep echoed. Every breath was measured.A select gathering had been called.Not a full council meeting—no, this was something rarer.A Strategic Royal Audience, convened solely at the will of the Crown Prince.Seated at the base of the throne dais were General Earlton, Lady Thea Walton, and four court physicians. The rest of the benches were filled by trusted intelligence officers, security masters, and two elders summoned at the last hour.At the center of the chamber stood Alex Cole, his posture straight, his expression unreadable. He wore the same black-silver robe gifted to him during the flower refinement trial. The inner hall lighting gleamed faintly off the phoenix embroidery on his collar.The whispers had
Chapter 178
Later, in the quiet of the strategy garden, the Crown Prince sat with Alex beneath the phoenix blossom tree. The sun had softened, casting golden light through the leaves. “You were not wrong to speak bluntly,” the Prince said. “But it will draw more enemies,” Alex replied. The Prince nodded. “I am used to them.” He looked up at the sky. “There was a time I believed in peace. In balance. But now… I see we are all pieces on a board shaped by men like Bourne.” Alex’s voice was low. “Then let us be the ones who flip the board.” The Prince smiled faintly. “You remind me of my uncle when he was young.” “Was he wise?” “He was brave,” the Prince said. “And now he is dead.” They sat in silence. Then the Prince stood. “I have a favor to ask.” “Speak it.” “Continue your research on flame Qi,” the Prince said. “There is a legend I need verified. One that involves your seal… and my mother.” Alex raised a brow. “What legend?” The Prince’s voice lowered. “That the Phoenix Line o
Chapter 177 - Dangerous waters
The banners of the Jade Pavilion fluttered in the late morning breeze as the Imperial Court of Elders convened for an unscheduled session.It was rare for the Crown Prince to summon the council without imperial prompting. Rarer still for him to do so on temple day, when most elders were expected to attend prayer offerings or engage in scholarly review. Yet all thirteen robed figures arrived within the hour, none bold enough to decline the Crown Prince’s personal seal.At the center of the grand chamber, a long half-moon dais faced a raised seat where the Crown Prince now sat, flanked by two incense-bearing ministers. Behind him stood Alex Cole, dressed once again in black and silver robes, his face calm though his presence sent a ripple through the room.The court was not used to outsiders.Certainly not ones who stood without kneeling.Yet none called it out.They had heard of him.They had heard of the poisoned assassin.The Crown Prince stood.His voice was steady, rich with the
Chapter 176 - Half brother
The first light of morning filtered through the lattice windows of the Crown Prince’s private strategy hall, casting long golden bars across the polished floor. Outside, the palace was waking. Gardeners swept fallen petals. The temple bells rang softly in the distance. Couriers moved with quick steps, carrying missives sealed in jade tubes.But inside, the tension was suffocating.Alex Cole stood near a long scroll table, arms folded across his chest. He had cleaned and dressed his wounds, though the bandage around his left bicep was still fresh. His expression was unreadable.Across from him stood Thea Walton, her cloak removed and tossed across the nearest chair. Her uniform was partially undone, revealing the tight linen beneath, but she looked less like a war general today and more like a woman on the edge of something personal.The Crown Prince sat at the head of the room, leaning slightly on his right arm. His sword, wiped clean of the assassin's blood from the night before, la
Chapter 175 - Alex goes down
Moonlight spilled across the cobblestone pathways of the imperial courtyard like liquid silver. The garden here, nestled between the east wing of the inner court and the outer temple pavilions, was designed for silence. No servants wandered here after dusk. The lanterns had been dimmed to faint embers, and only the distant rustling of wind-touched bamboo broke the stillness.Alex Cole stood alone beneath the blossoming night cherry tree at the garden’s edge.His breath was shallow. Fatigue gnawed at his bones.He had not rested since the completion of the cure. The strain of channeling high-tier flame Qi during refinement had pushed his meridians close to overload. Though he had masked it well, his energy was fractured. Spiritual channels that usually ran like rivers now trickled slowly, choked by internal strain.Still, something had drawn him outside.A whisper at the back of his mind. A prickle at the base of his neck.He had sensed it earlier at his window—a shift in the palace’s
Chapter 174 - Wraith Needle
The lanterns had long dimmed across the inner court, but in a secluded corner of the Physician's Wing, a single chamber glowed with light. Alex Cole sat at a low lacquered table, the air thick with the fragrance of crushed herbs and warmed spiritual energy. Golden runes shimmered faintly across the floor in a formation meant for concentration and Qi stabilization. The walls were lined with jade tiles, each engraved with protective symbols inscribed by royal talisman artisans. This was no ordinary guest chamber. The Crown Prince himself had ordered it prepared. Alex’s robe had been shed and folded neatly at the side of the table. A light inner tunic clung to his body, damp with sweat. Before him lay a tray of rare ingredients: the White Snake Flower, now fully harmonized; a dish of powdered Thunder Leaf; and a sealed vial of jade resin, freshly extracted from the spiritual trees near Mount Qingshan. Everything had been checked for purity three times. Still, Alex performed his
Chapter 173 - The princess’s offer
The Grand Celestial Hall was radiant.Golden lanterns floated high above, suspended by unseen formations, casting a warm light that made the entire space shimmer like sunlight on water. Court nobles stood dressed in their most formal silks, their heads adorned with jade pins, gold-threaded hats, or embroidered veils depending on their rank. The occasion was an impromptu court gathering organized by the Crown Prince. It had been called to celebrate the stabilization of his condition and to officially welcome a guest who had become the subject of whispers in every corner of the palace.That guest was Alex Cole.He stood at the far end of the hall, flanked by two royal aides. His robe was midnight blue, gifted by the Crown Prince himself. It bore no family crest but was trimmed with silver lining and celestial cloud embroidery that marked him as someone favored by the highest echelons of power.He did not seek the attention of the room.But the room gave it to him all the same.Dozens
Chapter 172 - Spirit Guardian
The greenhouse was silent.Too silent.Alex Cole stood motionless, the crystal case housing the White Snake Flower still warm in his palm. Princess Serena had vanished into the maze of luminous vines to inspect a sacred fern said to release spiritual mist under moonlight. The glass dome above shimmered, reflecting the glow of suspended spirit-lanterns, yet the energy inside the room had changed.He felt it first in his skin like a static charge in the air.Then, deeper within his core.The Qi of the White Snake Flower… was no longer calm.Alex frowned.The flower in his hand pulsed unnaturally. Instead of the gentle rhythm of a living plant, its spiritual essence felt… jagged. Fractured. Like a song suddenly off-key.He set the crystal case on a stone pedestal and knelt beside it. His fingers hovered just above the jade-sealed latch as he closed his eyes, letting his senses extend outward.At first, he sensed nothing unusual.But the deeper he probed into the flower’s essence, the mor
Chapter 171 - Orchid Blade
The midday sun glinted off the curved rooftops of the Jade Pavilion as a cooling breeze swept through the palace grounds. Underneath a shaded colonnade near the eastern garden, Alex Cole stood, gazing out at the koi pond below. The serene scene before him was interrupted only by the murmuring of distant court attendants and the flutter of palace banners.He had barely stepped out of the treatment chamber when the summons came. A young maid had approached respectfully and, after bowing, informed him that Princess Serena awaited him at the Jade Bridge, the symbolic entryway into the Imperial Greenhouse.Now, he waited.He had heard the name before. Serena, one of the Crown Prince’s cousins—was no ordinary princess. Known as the “Orchid Blade” among palace circles, she was a celebrated martial arts prodigy, the youngest in decades to win the Royal Combat Trials and the only princess to ever defeat a member of the palace guard in single combat. But she was also known for her mercurial te
