Her eyes rolled to the back as the choking got intense. Knowing her strength as a martial art Master, it was easy to know that she was in so much pain..

Alex rushed over to her, the cigar that had dropped on the ground while she was choking burned the back of his leg through the slippers he was wearing.

He had switched his shoes out when they came inside earlier. He ignored the pain and checked her pulse immediately and his expression hardened. Her heart rate was starting to drop.

Then his mind to the move that the fugitives made earlier. Was that the cause? he asked himself.

The cause was not important right now, saving her came first.

Alex was not the type of doctor that is practicing because he wants to save the world or be a good person for the sake of humanity but this has happened in front of him, he couldn't let her die that way.

On a normal day, he would have preferred to mind his own business.

After a moment of doing different techniques on her, he breathed heavily. He was

    “Put your mind at rest, Hannah. I will not let anything go wrong with Thea.” he assured her, as he began to treat her.He was able to restore her heart rate back to normal since it was a minor thing to do.Some moments later, Thea woke up. She was surprised to see Hannah and Reed in her house.“Reed? How are you here?” what are you doing in my house?”Hannah immediately explained what had happened to her.“I wonder what would have happened to you if young master Reed wasn't here, My lord. I was so scared that something bad will happen to you. Who knows what would have happened if Young master Reed did not come here?”Thea’s expression fell as Hannah explained to her. Her memories of what happened before she passed out flooded her head. The fugitive's last move was strong enough to take her life.She even thought she was going to die while she was choking. She could smell death closely while that was happening and there was huge pain surging around her body..That fucking bum! Alex!Th

    Donald was kind of confused, it was strange that he had gotten that call from Alex, what was stranger was proving that he was truly Donald Bourne over the phone to some people. If he was meeting them in person, that would have been easier to do.He cleared his throat at the other end of the phone and Alex put his phone on loudspeaker. “I am not sure you guys want me to prove that I am Donald Bourne. Do you have questions you want to ask?”He knew that he might have sounded stupid and off. But that was the only thing he could think of saying.Molly burst into laughter and her mother joined her. “You are really something, Alex. I don’t know if it is the desperacy to prove that you are an important person but it is not working. How are you so quick to find an actor to pretend like he was the great Donald Bourne?”“I am sorry to break it to you but this actor doesn’t deserve to get a dime from you because he didn't do his job well.” She burst into laughter again.“I have had enough of all

    Killain turned on his heel, he was about to leave but Molly clung onto him. What did I do wrong, babe? Do you hate me now? Your actions towards me have been harsh lately.”Because her voice was loud, she had caught the attention of passersby, Killain had no choice but to wait and play along with her antics to avoid any form of embarrassment. The only reason he had kept her around was to get a taste of her but he wasn’t even going to do that again. He just wanted to get away from her now that he knew who Alex was.“No, I have been busy lately, you know with my mom’s condition and all. Everything has been tight. Don’t be annoyed at me, okay?” He said.Molly knew about Mrs Gomez’s condition. She had heard it from Rose Gomez who had to stab many of their hangouts so that she could stay back at home to take care of their mother. She became calm when she heard his words.“When are you going to take me to see your mom? We should meet her together, don’t you think so?” She asked, not letting

    She sneered at him, “What? You are surprised to see me here?”Molly folded her arms, “If you know what is good for you, you better leave this place at once. Killian is here, if he meets you here, he is going to deal with you and I am sure your body can't even take a beating from him.”Ofcourse, she would say that because she had never seen him naked before, she didn’t know how he looked behind the clothes that covered his bidy.Alex didn’tt want to waste his time wit her. He had arrived a the silk market market a long time ago and the scarf was the ku the that caught hus eyes after he had walked around, he would not be leaving the scarf for her especially when she had mentioned that Killian was around, it means that she would be out of his hair in no time.He faced Peter, “I will take the scarf for ten thousand dollars.”Molly immediately burst into laughter, “You still have this silly attitude on, actin’ like you are some wealthy guy when you have nothing to your name, you need to dr

    Molly ran as fast as she could so that she could catch up with Killain. She was lucky enough to meet up with him at the car park, “Killian,” She called quietly. “Why did you act like that earlier when you were with Alex ? I have never seen that side of you..”“Do I have to report every reason for my action to you?” he yelled at her.Molly was shocked , he had never yelled at her like that in the past and he dared to do it now! “I better get an explanation for your actions, Killain. Why would you yell at me like that?” She demanded.Killain was pissed at the way she was acting all mighty before him, the only reason he was holding back was because of Alex. He didn't want him to come after him, especially now that he knew the extent of his power.He heaved a heavy sigh, “Alex is very skilled in martial arts and he is good enough to take ten men or more down on his own without any external help. Where do you want me to get the balls to fight with someone like that? Now that you have hear

    Thea and Reed were speaking over lunch, in one of the most exquisite restaurants in Trim city.“I’m sorry I can’t do any for your grandfather. My master is busy at the moment as he is still doing some research on some new treatments for some ailments. It’s also been a while since he last treated anyone, I would have recommended you to him.” Reed said in an apologetic manner.Thea waved his words off, “It’s fine. That’s not why I asked you to have lunch with me. Besides, Dr Norton already told me what was wrong with my grandfather.”“He was poisoned by the two-headed snake. I didn’t ask my old friend to come over for a meal. Your master might not even be able to do anything about it even if he was here.”Bitten by a two-headed snake, it surely rang a bell to Reed, he was a good orthodox doctor and he had gotten the best training so he had heard about it before.“Your grandfather was bitten by a two-headed snake. That is dangerous, Thea. Only a Divine Doctor or healer will be able to tr

    The energy he sensed from the silk scarf did not seem like it was going to disappoint him about the authenticity but it is also possible that it had a side that was hidden.A young lady walked up to them, she looked like she wasn’t ordinary, Alex could sense that from her, she welcomed them with a smile on her face, “I wasn’t expecting your visit, Sir Bourne. It is quite surprising to see you here.”Doanld smiled at him. “You are as cheerful as usual, Ms Green. We do not have much time so we will cut to the chase. we have something to show you.”Alex brought out the scarf from his pocket. “I don’t think this scarf is usual, can you take a look at it or find something better than this in your archives, Ms Green?”Ms Green took a close look at it, she carefully studied the material, looking into every detail, after keen observations spoke up, “This is….. Woah. It is really authentic, where did you get this from?”She asked with shock on her face.“This is the one and only Vintage silk s

    Miller was indeed happy with the gift he had just gotten from Alex. He loves silk items especially scarfs. This made him develop an interest in vintage silk scarves and he knew so much about them, more than an ordinary person would.Molly was shocked to see the quality of the scarf when her father brought it out, it was good. She had undermined how it was going to be because of the small stall that she had seen him purchasing the scarf.She had not noticed the quality back at the silk market. If Killian had not appreciated it at that time, she would have seen it. She was quick to change the word of her mouth.“I agree with you dad, it must be very expensive. I met him at the silk market. He was able to get the scarf at a sum of four thousand dollars. That is quite generous from home right?” She said with sarcasm dipping in her voice.Annie Grey, laughed, “How is that being generous! Everyone here brought expensive gifts worth more than what he brought, he is so…”Miller sent a sharp

  • 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

    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

  • Chapter 170 - Nine Dragon silver needle box

    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.
