2024-11-07 23:07:13Thea adores her grandfather, Thor so much that she had spent most of her time looking for a cure for his sickness and she was willing to spend every dime on him.
But at that moment, for the first time in her life, she wishes that her grandfather doesn’t wake up. Well, that’s till Alex leaves the house. That means she would still hold the authority of the Walton’s family.
He was acting like he wasn’t affected by her presence and it really hurt her pride. She was the goddess of war. He wasn’t aware that he was dealing with a tough person.
Instead of giving her a response, Alex rushed over to check the old man that was lying on the bed after he had noticed that his fingertips were white. He checked his pulse and muttered, “it is just as I thought, he has been poisoned by the two-headed snake.”
Thea’s forehead creased into a frown, ”My grandpa was poisoned? Does he really have poison in his system?”
“Yes, it is the most toxic poison that is currently in existence. If I had discovered this earlier, I would have been able to do something about it right away but it has been over six months since he has been poisoned, I am afraid curing him right now is far-fetched.”
“The medicine that can cure it is very scarce and difficult to acquire. It will take a lot of work to get it. Kudos to the doctors you have employed in the past, they must have exhausted all their abilities trying to keep Lord Walton already but couldn't do anything about the poison. They are the reason he is not dead yet.”
She scoffed, “I had thought that you were just an ordinary doctor from the medicine village, little did i know that you are not just a doctor but a lunatic in a doctor’s form. I almost fell for your acting.”
Thea barely had any knowledge about medicine but she had reached out to the most famous doctors to come treat her grandfather but Alex stood before her to ridicule them by saying they had exhausted their power as if he was better than them.
Alex got up from Lord Walton’s side and dazed Thea. “I am aware that you do not see me as a potential healer for your grandfather but trust me I did not tell a lie about what is wrong with him.”
Thea could not hold but be marveled at the words that he spewed shameless. It was unmatched to the fools that bluff to her while she is on the battle ground.
“At least, you are now aware that my grandfather will not be able to do anything about the marriage contract since he can’t speak and the authority of this house now belongs to me, so as i said earlier, rip off the contract and let’s go back to our various worlds like we never met.”
Her tone was firm and obvious that she had made up her mind. She hates his guts and she wanted him to see her place as the war god of Mericania.
“I will look for the medicine within a month and return to treat Lord Walton.”
“Why do you want to come back here? I will hire better doctors than you to fix my grandpa if I can, so do not come here saying you want to treat him. I will not let you touch him and say the nonsense you were spewing about the two- headed snake.”
“Why not? It seems to me that you loved your grandpa, do you not want him to regain his health back?”
“Because of your bad intentions, you are trying to impress me so I can marry you.”
“I see that you are delusional, Miss Thea.”
“You are the delusional one that thinks that your lies can get to me, a mere village doctor diagnosing that my grandfather had been poisoned when many renowned doctors did not find the cause. I can see right through you.”
“I am doing this to treat your grandfather because he had helped my family and my master in the past, not because I want to marry you. I have to leave right now. As you can see it is quite late. I need to get to my destination to have a good night's rest.” he smiled at her.
“If you dare return here in a month’s time, i will show you why I am called the war god of Mericania,”
Without giving her response, he got up, carried his little bag and left the Waltons residence.
Just then, thea’s phone rang and she picked her phone up at once, “Dr Norton, how may I help you?”
David Norton is the most famous Orthodox medical doctor in Mericania and he had ranked number one in the ranking of orthodox doctor for the past ten years and he was the doctor that has recently treated Lord Thor Walton.
“Ms Thea, I am calling to inform you about what you have discovered about your grandfather’s condition. I have reached out to retired medical doctors in my line of practice, I even went to the extent of reaching out to people I have cut ties with because Lord Walton's sickness was so peculiar and I finally got to the roots of it.”
Thea was filled with hope for her grandfather, she had been looking forward to when she would see him next and how up to him that she was now the War god of Mericania..
“Please, tell me what you found.”
“Lord Walton is not ill neither is he suffering from an unknown ailment. He is in a coma because he had been poisoned and it's not just any poison. He had been poisoned by the two headed snake. It is the most toxic poison in the world. It is really a miracle that he is alive right now.”
Her eyes glimmer with hope for her grandfather, “Please do anything in your power to heal him. I will pay you any amount that you ask for.” She said in a pleading tone.
David heaved a heavy sigh, “the poison has spent too long in Lord Walton’s body which has caused it to spread. I am afraid that there is not much assistance I would be able to offer to him. But I think..” he trailed off.
She was curious to know what he had to offer.
“what do you think of?” she asked.
"According to what I can remember, there is someone that can heal your grandfather, he is the divine doctor. His powers are said to have brought some back to life from the dead.”
Thea had heard tales and rumors about the divine doctor but she didn’t believe them to be true since he was nowhere to be found. Even the Healers card that people called the ticket to get to see him was nowhere to be bought or found.
“Doctor David, if you get in touch with this divine doctor, please let me know I will also start looking for him from my end! Thank you.” She said then she hung up.
Then she suddenly remembered that Alex had mentioned that her grandfather was poisoned by the two-headed snake.
She shrugged the thoughts off, “Scammers like him are usually lucky with their guess. It can’t be!”

Alex has traced a place he knew by memory in an area not so far from the Waltons Estate. Though the Waltons estate has changed because of the development, the areas around it still retained its old features so I could tell that I wasn’t in the wrong place.He was standing in front of his Uncle, Victor Miller's house. Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, his phone rang, and he picked up,“Hello?”“Hello, Divine doctor, I am David bourne. the one that received your number after showing you the healer’s card that your sister had given me. I am calling to ask if you can come and check up on my daughter right now. She is in a critical condition, she is unable to breathe properly.”"It is late now and it will be hard to find a taxi, send a car to the location I will send to you over a text.” he replied to him.“Okay sir.

He could not believe that Alex Cole, his friend's son, was standing in front of him. “I have been looking for you. I am glad God listened to my prayers and sent you my way.” he rubbed Alex’s shoulders before pulling him for a hug. He pulled him into the main lounge in his mansion. Victor Miller had spent a lot of money modernizing his home.“Molly, Rena!” He called his wife and his daughter, “We have an important guest.”As they got to the main lounge, Molly was standing there, watching the TV, just in her bathrobe. It was evident that she had just taken a shower. She looked in her father’s direction and saw the stranger standing near him.“Who is this fucking Creep?” She screamed before racing to her room.“Miller, re

Alex understood why Donald was the richest man in the city. His house was fully decorated with gold, the exteriors obviously cost millions of dollars but the inheritors cost two times more.“Doctor, you are here!” Donald’s face lit up as soon as he saw Alex. He had been waiting by the door for him to show up. He had told his wife to let the doctor she had brought go so that he would make their daughter cripple but she was crying begging that he stay till the divine doctor that he called arrived.Mr Bourne was also standing by the door. Her eyes were puffy as it was obvious that she had been crying for days.“Is this the doctor you speak of?” her eyes flashed with anger and disgust. “Donald, did you seriously bring a rat to

“Will my daughter still survive this after getting the treatment from this?” Donald Bourne was not sure of agreeing to his wife's choice so he wanted to confirm.He was only going to let him touch his daughter because his wife had told him that he was the best doctor in their city. The person he wanted it to be was Alex.“I cannot say till we all see it but be rest assured that since I am here, your daughter cannot pass away,” Alex assured him, “But there is a condition, you will have to get me the White Snake Flower.”“I will get you anything you want as long as you save my daughter’s life. If you want hundreds of them, I’m willing to give you.”Alex laughed knowing that Donald doesn’t know how rare the White snake flower is. It’s impossible to find one, not to speak of ten.Dr Norton scoffed in his mind, “He dare ask for that rare herb? Such a thief. I will make sure he doesn’t get it.”He brought out the cure he had prepared for Bella. He filled the syringe with some liquid. He wa

Alex glanced at him with a smirk on his face, “I’m not taking apprentices yet,”“Please when you decide to start accepting them, kindly contact me.” He bought out his name card and handed it to Alex. “I have been learning the supreme techniques since I was in medical school but I have not been able to master it.”It was no doubt that he wasn't able to learn such technical skills. Many students found it difficult to handle needles and master the supreme techniques. His master had told him that the reason why he had been able to grasp the skill at once was because he was talented.Dr Noton was rooting for a positive response from Alex in the future. He has had many clients that are requesting for treatment but he was not able to attend to their strange illness because he didn’t know how to use the supreme technique.Everyone in the medical industry knew that the supreme techniques could revive anyone that was at the point of death.Seeing how Alex had performed it without making any

“A stalker?” Rebecca asked, confusedly wondering where and when her friend had met such a man because she had not mentioned him to her in the past.“I thought you had seen a very handsome man, I was glad that we got to meet some new rich guy but it ended up being this stupid leech.”“That bastard wants to marry me and I declined, now he is even shameless enough to be stalking me now.” Molly scoffed.“But he is rich and handsome, he came here in a Rolls Royce, do you know how much that cost?”“As if! Take a look at his clothes and the car? Their qualities do not match each other. He only rented the car to show off and pretend like he is rich so he can deceive people.”“He is not the owner of the car. I know him so well. His family business had been stolen by his relative status a long time ago so he has no money to his name.” “Shhh, Molly.

Chapter 11 - When the waiter led him to his room, the presidential suite was quite bigger than what he had been anticipating.It felt like he was going to be wasteful if he stayed in that sort of grand place alone and he wasn’t sure if he was going to spend more than one night at the hotel.”“Can you take me to a smaller room? I just want to rest a bit before heading out.” he said.“Sure, come with me, please.” the receptionist replied politely. He wanted to serve Alex to his satisfaction because of how rude he was to him earlier.That time he was aware that he was a VVIP, his job really depended on how he treated the guests.As they walked down to another room, they ran into a woman dressed in a long black and shiny dinner gown.

Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 12 - Take him to your friends
The line went silent as David Norton did not know how best he would explain to Thea about what had transpired between him and Alex.“Give me an answer. We both know that my grandfather doesn’t have much time. I need to find this man as fast as I can. No matter what it takes.” Thea said she could barely mask her desperation any more.“I met this young man at the Bourne’s mansion when I was about to treat their daughter. We had a little conflict so I wasn’t able to get his contact or even get his personal information.” He said in a small voice.Thea immediately understood what Dr Norton said. She understood that the top orthodox doctor in Mericania would not believe that there was someone better than him.“Thank you, Dr David. I will try to contact the Bournes about it.”Though the doctor was young, he was able to treat the Bourne’s young daughter that Norton wasn’t able to heal. It is possible that he will be able to heal her grandfather too. Now that her hopes were high, she was goi

Chapter 166 - Pathetic
The laughter had reached a fever pitch.The rich men slammed their glasses against the table, howling with amusement, slapping each other on the backs like they had just witnessed the world’s greatest joke.Alex let it wash over him without blinking.He sat there, unmoving, the picture of calm.Then, without a word, he reached into the inner pocket of his jacket.The mocking slowed slightly, a few men noticing the movement, curiosity flickering through their drunken haze.Alex’s fingers closed around a thin, solid object. He drew it out smoothly and set it down on the table between them with a soft click.A golden card.The lighting in the bar caught the surface instantly, throwing a sharp gleam across the polished wood.It wasn’t flashy gold paint or cheap shine. It was a deep, rich luster a card that spoke in a language no ordinary man would dare counterfeit.Silence fell over the nearest tables like a switch had been flipped.One by one, heads turned.The man with the rings froze
Chapter 165 - Payment Declined
The tension was thick enough to choke on.Alex stood calm in the middle of it, hands still tucked casually into his jacket pockets, every muscle in his body ready to move the second they gave him a reason.The first guard squared his shoulders, clearly preparing to escalate, when the heavy front door of the bar swung open behind them.All movement froze.A man stepped out, flanked by two more guards who hung back respectfully, almost blending into the shadows. He was older, somewhere past fifty, but moved with the easy, unhurried grace of someone who had commanded respect for most of his life.He wore a tailored grey suit that probably cost more than most cars on the street. His hair was slicked back, silver at the temples, and a heavy ring gleamed on one hand as he adjusted the cuff of his jacket.His eyes, sharp and assessing, swept the scene in a single glance.The guards stiffened instantly.The first one dropped his aggressive stance and took a half step back.The man’s gaze land
Chapter 164 - Rejection
Thea sat at her desk, three heavy envelopes laid out before her, each bearing the crest of the Smith family the intertwined black and silver sigil that carried weight across the country. Each envelope was slightly different. Different handwriting. Different thickness. Different energy.They were invitations.Polished. Formal. Calculated.But no matter how fine the paper or how elegant the phrasing, Thea knew exactly what lay beneath.Marriage proposals.The Smith brothers had made their move.Thea leaned back in her chair, studying the envelopes like a general studying the battlefield. She had seen this coming. Felt it in the way their interactions had shifted from rivalry to alliance to something heavier, more dangerous.Affection.Ambition.Possession.She tapped her fingers lightly against the desk, thinking.It wasn’t anger she felt.It was... regret.Because if things were different, if her world was simpler, if her heart hadn’t already tilted somewhere else without permissio
Chapter 162 - What Doctor?
Morning sunlight spilled into Thea’s room, warm against the crisp sheets she hadn’t bothered to untangle during the night. She sat at the edge of the bed, staring at the floor, her hands resting loosely against her knees.Dr. Nelson’s words from the day before still rang in her ears.Her grandfather’s condition had improved. More than expected. More than medicine alone should have allowed.She trusted Dr. Nelson’s skills, but he wasn’t easily impressed. If he said something unusual was happening, it wasn’t just politeness. It was a fact.Thea ran a hand through her hair, her fingers snagging against a knot. She needed answers.Her mind turned, slowly at first, then faster, piecing things together. There had been another visitor before she left for training. Someone Reed had brought, someone important enough that even Thor Walton had agreed to meet him.Master Roman Reigns.Thea frowned slightly, trying to remember every detail Reed had given her at the time. There hadn't been much. Ju
Chapter 162 - Lord Thor Walton’s health
Two weeks later, the training came to an end.It had not been marked by any grand announcement, no ceremony or formal dismissal. It simply faded away, as naturally as the sun giving way to the stars. One morning, the dojo felt different. Not empty, but finished. Thea stood on the mat after her final sparring session with Alex, her body humming with the familiar ache of exertion, her breathing steady and deep.She still hadn’t beaten him.Not even once.No matter how fast she moved, how sharp her instincts grew, Alex stayed ahead of her, always calm, always just out of reach. It used to enrage her, that casual mastery, but now it stirred something else. A challenge, yes, but also a quiet, deep respect.Thea knew exactly how far she had come.When she first stepped into this place, her strength had been a hammer heavy, wild, effective only when brute force was enough. Now, her strength had edges. It cut clean where before it only crushed. Her movements were no longer reactive but int
Chapter 161 - Late night practice and Chicken
The door to the dojo slid open, and General Earlton entered with the authority of someone who didn’t need to announce herself. She carried something wrapped tightly in dark cloth. Thea straightened without thinking, the exhaustion in her limbs forgotten the moment she saw Earlton’s face.Alex stood not far away, loose and at ease, but he still shifted a little when the general scanned the room with her eyes.Earlton crossed to Thea and unwrapped the cloth with a flick of her wrist. A set of throwing knives shined in the dim light, their sharp edges catching every stray sunbeam that slipped into the dojo.Without a word, she handed them over.Thea took them, feeling how heavy they were as they settled into her palms. These weren’t training toys. These were real, deadly tools.Earlton’s voice broke the silence. “You will throw at him.”Thea’s head snapped up. “At him?”Earlton’s eyes didn’t waver. “Stand in place. Throw.”Alex didn’t protest. He just walked to the center of the mat and
Chapter 160 - Jealousy
Thea was already in the dojo when Alex arrived.She stood in the center of the mat, arms crossed, foot tapping impatiently against the wooden floor. Her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail, and her eyes narrowed the moment the door slid open and he stepped through.Alex moved with his usual lazy grace, one hand tucked casually in his pocket, the other swinging a water bottle loosely at his side. He looked refreshed, relaxed, and completely unbothered by the fact that he was several minutes late.Thea's eyes narrowed further."Nice of you to finally show up," she said, her voice sharp enough to cut glass.Alex raised an eyebrow as he tossed the bottle onto a bench against the wall. "Morning to you too."She didn't smile. "Let me guess. Late because you had a busy night?"Alex tilted his head slightly, pretending to think. "Define busy."Thea scoffed, the sound sharp and bitter. "I saw you yesterday. With her. You were too busy playing chauffeur for your girlfriend to bother show
Chapter 159
Thea was still leaning against the far wall of the dojo when the door slid open quietly. She straightened instinctively, wiping the emotion from her face as General Earlton entered. The older woman moved with a calm, powerful grace that made it clear she didn’t need to raise her voice or brandish a weapon to command respect. Her gaze flickered briefly between Alex and Thea, as if weighing the temperature of the room.Without a word, Earlton walked to the center of the mat and stood there, her hands clasped lightly behind her back. Thea noticed the faint bulge under her robe, but said nothing.Alex, always observant, stepped forward first. He moved into position without needing to be told, standing a respectful few paces from Earlton, his posture straight but relaxed.Earlton smiled slightly, the kind of smile that held more warning than warmth."Stand still," she said to him.Alex gave a slight nod, his face expressionless.Thea folded her arms, skeptical. Whatever this was, she doub
Chapter 158 - When you are ready
Alex watched Thea’s chest rise and fall as she struggled to hold her stance. Her arms were tight against her sides, her breathing shallow, impatient. She wasn’t used to standing still. Her body screamed for motion, for action, but Alex gave no command to strike.He circled her slowly, hands folded behind his back, observing every muscle twitch with a detached calm that made Thea grind her teeth."Focus on the breath," Alex said."I'm focused enough," Thea snapped."Then you wouldn’t be shifting your weight like a drunk soldier," he said without raising his voice.Her nostrils flared. She straightened, forcing her heels to root into the ground as he had instructed earlier, but her mind raced ahead to the sparring she expected. She wasn't here to meditate. She was a fighter, not a monk."Again," Alex said.Thea closed her eyes and tried to inhale as slowly as he had demonstrated: steady, filling her lungs from the diaphragm, not the chest. It felt unnatural. It felt wrong. She could be
