“Now that I think of it, I think this Alex Cole guy will end up going to a mental hospital within a month.”

Molly faced Killian as she wondered why he had said so. “Why did you say that?”

“He is spending all his time cooking up strategies on how to show off what he doesn;t have. If that is anything, it is some sort of mental disorder, don’t you think so?” He asked with all seriousness.

They all laughed out loud, and they all agreed to what he said.

As soon as Donald Bourne arrived at the hotel, he handed his keys to the valet and he noticed his little brother was about to enter the hotel.

“What are you doing here, Raymond?”

He was so shocked to see that his brother was back in Trim city. It was a pleasure to see his brother back at home after he had traveled around for a long time.

“Ah, brother, I came for an event that some kids invited me to. I was going to your place on the topmost floor but I decided to drop by and say hi to those kids before I head upstairs. What about you? I d

    Ray’s eyebrow furrowed, as his attention was now on Rebecca, “Are you saying that guy that has been pestering Molly is currently with my older brother?”Rebeeca’s boldness sank as she was not expecting Raymond to give her that sort of lok, Moly then stepped in to speak in her place.“I think you are misunderstanding something, Ray. There is no way that guy would be with your older brother, Like Killian had told you earlier, he is just some guy that loves to show off what he doesn’t have.”Molly went ahead to explain everything that happened at the XY bank and how cocky he had been with them, and he even showed them a fake account balance.Raymond entered knowing the type of person his brother was how and he hates dishonest people. “That sort of person could never be in contact with my brother.

    Chapter 22 (contd) Donald paid much attention to what Alex was shying because eje le that if he could not help with the whe snake flower, he should be able to find some other alternative for him or help him in some other way. “What exactly are you referring to, so I can be sure of what to tell you?” “The traditional black market for medicinal herbs, the ones that people barely know anything about. Not even the orthodox doctor.” Alex was aware, because he had been taught from the medicine village that there was a percentage of the top rich people that had access to the traditional black market since they know what to use when they have an illness. They usually used this so that they could hide the nature of their illness and they would not become the topic of discussion. Doanld stroked his chin and he thought hard, he wondered if he had come across something like that. People had introduced him to lots of things in the past, it was not so easy to remember that kind of scene…. Al

    Alex on the other hand was now walking to the sales office which was a few blocks away from where he had gotten the haircut. He did not take a cab because he really enjoys strolling through the city since it has been a while since he had been here.A black bus suddenly pulled on him. Five men all in black, wearing facemasks, and sunglasses jumped out and blocked his path, “If you know what is best for you, I suggest you come with us quietly. That way you will not suffer any bodily harm.”The men had expected that Alex would try to fight them, or even resist but to their surprise, he got into the bus without saying a word.One of them, who seemed like their leader, chuckled, “I love it when we come in contact with obedient people like you.. It makes our work faster and easier.”Alex sat in the bus, thinking of who had sent the men to come and kidnap him, he had just gotten to Trim city, he had not made enemies with anyone.

He was spoke like that incase it turned out to be someone he wasn’t willing to speak with“Cole!” The thick familiar voice came on and he recognized it immediately. “Was this how I trained you to speak with people?”It was his Master, Dustin whom he had not seen or heard from for a long time.Alex scoffed l, “You this Cheeky Old Devil! You left me in the medicine village under the care of other students while you were exploring the world on your own. That is not fair,”He had really undermined how carefree his master could be.

    Alex stood at the entrance of the bookshop like the person who was coming to pick him up had said. He had gotten there on time but it seemed like the person was running late but he was in a good mood so he was not annoyed that the person was running late. He was just waiting as he admired the clothes he was putting on plus the new pair of shoes he was also putting on. They were enough to lift his mood. A part of him still thinks that no one was going to show up because his Master, Dustin, might be playing a huge prank on him.

  • 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

    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

    The jade-tiled chamber was one of the most sacred rooms within the Imperial Healing Pavilion.Located at the innermost wing of the inner court, it was accessible only by the royal family, top-ranking imperial physicians, and the occasional war hero brought back on the edge of death. The floor was carved from ancient sea jade, a rare mineral believed to channel cooling energy and absorb pain. The ceiling glistened with embedded pearls that reflected sunlight through gilded lanterns, bathing the room in a soft halo of calm.Alex Cole stood alone at its center.He was dressed in ceremonial black robes trimmed with silver, tied tightly at the waist. His sleeves had been rolled back, revealing forearms covered with faint acupuncture scars from years of self-training. In his right hand, he held a long, rectangular wooden case, the Nine Dragon Silver Needle Box, a gift passed to him by Dustin before his journey began.The box had remained unopened for years.Now, it whispered to him.The he

  • Chapter 169 - Not here for the court

    Thea’s thoughts were already unraveling, tangled in disbelief and reluctant curiosity as she stood just outside the Imperial Hall. Her fists were clenched behind her back. Her knuckles were pale beneath her black gloves. From the moment Alex revealed the Phoenix Seal to the time the Crown Prince had dismissed her objections without hesitation, her emotions had been lurching in directions she didn’t like.And now, this.As Alex followed the Crown Prince deeper into the Imperial Garden Pavilion, his eyes flicked briefly toward Thea, not with smugness, not with triumph, but with a knowing calm that somehow grated on her more than arrogance ever would.She stayed behind in the hallway, but a whispering palace aide lingered at the curve of the hallway, catching her attention with words that hit her like a slap."Did you hear? The Divine Physician and His Highness met before. In the city. At a bar of all places."Thea's breath caught.At a bar?She strode after them without permission.***

  • Chapter 168 - Princess Serena

    Thea Walton’s boots echoed sharply across the white jade tiles of the east wing. Her cloak, bearing the golden sigil of Mericania’s War God, billowed behind her like a storm front. Every palace servant she passed instinctively stepped aside. Her presence demanded it. Her fury announced it.Moments earlier, she’d been in the Royal Infirmary, standing beside the unconscious figure of her grandfather, Lord Thor Walton. The Royal Physician had been explaining the lack of progress with a carefully worded diagnosis, trying to avoid admitting defeat.Then the whisper came.“General Walton,” a young eunuch had said, bowing deeply. “Forgive the interruption, but… a man from the outer court gained access through the East Gate. He used a Phoenix Seal. The Imperial Guards escorted him into the side court and offered him hospitality.”The tea cup in Thea’s hand shattered.“A what?” she hissed.“A Phoenix Seal, my lady,” the eunuch replied, trembling. “Confirmed by Elder Xu himself.
